After that debacle within Carter-Finley last weekend, the timing for this just seems eerily appropriate, especially since I’m not at all hopeful about the upcoming basketball season. My original intent was a more comprehensive basketball retrospective similar to the one I did for football back in the summer. But I decided that nothing good can […]

Cheap Seats Football Retrospective: Part V, 2009
This is the final part of a five-part series that is by no means intended to be authoritative. Rather, it’s nothing more than an incomplete, inconclusive, sometimes erroneous, while always biased retrospective of recent State football history. Part of this was based on nothing more than my attempt to answer the question so many of […]

Cheap Seats Football Retrospective: Part I, The 1990s
Back in March of this year, any column I would’ve written could’ve only been titled “Why I should’ve gone to [insert SEC school here].†As I left Tobacco Road on Glenwood Avenue after watching yet another State basketball season mercifully end – like so many years before it – on the Thursday of the ACC […]
Revisiting Last February’s Analysis
We will come back to this once the 2008-09 season is completely over. But I think it’s a good time to look back at this entry from last February, after a particularly brutal loss to Boston College. Many of our current commenters posted thoughts on that thread. Now that a little over a year has […]
Pitchers and Catchers Are Reporting This Week
I was listening to the news with one ear as I worked on the site tonight, and heard that pitchers and catchers are reporting to Spring Training for Major League Baseball. That of course reminded me of my favorite future New York Yankee, some guy we probably remember very well. If ever I meet Andrew […]
NC State – Florida State Notes and Links (with BJD95 Analysis)
The Wolfpack men’s hoops team takes back to the hardwoods tonight to battle Florida State in an ACC contest. Confidence in State is not high right now in the fanbase, which has been conditioned to expect sub-par play (to put it kindly) from the backcourt and certain lack of fire from upperclassmen front-court players. In […]
Laugh. Think. Cry.
V himself had said that team wasn’t very good. After a 6-8 conference record, State was seeded sixth for the 1987 ACC Tournament in Landover. But somehow – not unlike a few years earlier on an even bigger stage – Jim Valvano’s Cardiac Pack had survived and advanced to the title game, where they would […]
