Good Ole Terry Bowden
If ever there were a clueless sports analyst, it is Terry Bowden. From his ludicrous perspective on racial issues in coaching, to this wonderful statement: “I ordered the game on pay-per-view just so I could watch him.â€? Isn’t Terry a college football analyst? Isn’t it his job to watch college football? Should we start a […]
Random Thoughts
Vick continues to show his class. Louisville I took no small amount of pleasure in Louisville getting dismantled by a pathetic South Florida team. Louisville didn’t deserve the credit they received last year, and they certainly don’t deserve to be ranked this year. Urban Meyer Wow, who would have thought that Meyer’s offense would only […]
N&O: Derek Morris Morris frustrated with flags
That’s the past,” Morris said about the five flags he collected in losses to Virginia Tech and North Carolina. “You’ve got to move on. You’ve got to think about the next game. Penalties happen, and some people say they shouldn’t happen, but it happens. You’ve just got to forget about it.”
The Rest of Saturday
The perfect example of why any serious college football fan simply MUST have ESPN Gameplan – the fact that ABC showed the USC/Arizona State showdown to only a tiny sliver of the national broadcast audience. And it wasn’t like there were other compelling choices that ABC simply had to show – middle America got pedestrian […]
Early Games Quick Recap

ESPN: Great Rivers Feature
About every Monday or so, a different member of the Pack Pride and Wolfpacker message board communities will have identified a new team to which they project Philip Rivers could be traded. Well, ESPN has provided an excellent piece on Philip that is a must read for Wolfpackers. (Maybe it will help you forget life […]
Brock’s Take: Not Over, but Disappearing Fast
Personal Note: So sorry that I’ve been so lax in blogging recently. I’ve had a TON of huge life changes (personal and professional) hit over the last month. Ultimately, the changes will be fantastic for me and my family…but, in the short term they have kept me from venting my frustrations here on the blog. […]
Fowler: Unfortunately, success isn’t always a straight line
You just knew that Fowler couldn’t wait for someone at the N&O to interview him after the UNC loss. IKB (alias I know basketball) gave his “I am 100% behind the coach” quote, which is the correct thing to say at this point. He also throughout this gem “Unfortunately, success isn’t always a straight line”, […]
