I was struck by how Boston College’s squandered opportunity against Florida State resembled NC State’s failure to beat the Hokies on Labor Day weekend. Both NC State and Boston College looked better than their more talked about opponents, but simply couldn’t pull away. BC got in an early hole and repeatedly stalled out just outside […]

TBJ: Tar Heels top Wolfpack in athletics spending, revenue
The TBJ had a front page article on athletic spending between NC State and UNC in the current issue.
Volleyball Team Nets 64th Consecutive League Loss
When your Athletic Director won’t fire a coach that has lost 64 consecutive ACC matches do you really think he would fire one that has only lost 6 ACC football games in a row? “Coach” Fowler should have some good insight into the volleball situation since his daughter Kristin is a sophmore on the team.
The Beginning of the End
Well, today we saw it with our own eyes. There is no sugar coating things, there is no denying the reality. Chuck Amato has been revealed as a fraud, a charlatan, a snake oil salesman. We have the talent, we don’t have the heart or the guts to be a champion. And that can be […]

Saturday Highlights
It was a sweltering Saturday afternoon/night at Carter Finley stadium, and not a very interesting one. For the first 15:07, NC State scored at will, playing all 5 of its tailbacks, each of which looked like Jim Brown against the EKU defense. That may not mean very much, but it was fun to watch. Multiple […]
Lee Corso’s Mood Swing
I composed this entry back during basketball season when this event actually took place, but I just never got around to linking it on the blog. Now that I see a lot more of Lee Corso, I am reminded that I never shared it. If you weren’t familiar with this…you’ve got to take a look. […]
Noon Start for State-Carolina
Television times for the ACC’s September 24th games were announced today and, as expected, Carolina’s visit to Carter-Finley is slated for a noon kickoff on Jefferson-Pilot.
Justice: ‘Win now or tear up the blueprint’
In preparation for the large scale kick-off of the 2005 NFL season, I was reading today’s Houston Chronicle which was obviously focused primarily on the Houston Texans. Chronicle writer, Richard Justice, had a nice piece about it ‘being the time to win’ for the Texans. The article was actually written in a manner where you […]
Byting Saturday (Thanks, TiVo)
I’m working on some stuff around the house today while I have games going on my 2 tuners on TiVo. I thought that I would share some thoughts while the games are on… UNC-CH @ Georgia Tech ==> Crimping Tarheel Style Poor, poor Carolina. Everywhere you look their football program has new hurdles that they […]
