You think that Lee Fowler and the dinosaurs at NC State hate the ‘internets’? Wait until savy fans become more active in benchmarking horrible officiating on YouTube and the internet. It is something that we wish that we had more time to around here. (Note: if you are a young, tech-savy fan with a desire […]
Headscratchers
SFN Impact Update
Some of the nice comments from our readers in this entry from Tuesday prompted today’s quick reflective note. Bank in July we gave you an update of how our blog had exploded during the year and shared some of our statistics with you. You can see our comments by clicking here. Today we thought that […]
Excessive Celebrations – WTF?!
In today’s world of You Tube and multimedia on the internet…we’d like to ask if anyone has any pictures or footage of the on-field celebrations in which the football teams at the University of Georgia AND Notre Dame participated after scoring late-game touchdowns. We would LOVE to share these celebrations with the world. We are […]
Hunt: Contradictions & ‘Running Pictures’
I tried to stay above the fray. I really did. Go back and read SFN’s comments on the topic. Note that we were very careful to focus on the failure to use replay and didn’t harp on the result of the replay; which…upon further review…indicated that Akron’s running back failed to score a touchdown on […]
SFN: What A Year (thusfar)!!!
Excerpt: “In the first seven months of the year, SFN has attracted almost 150,000 different visitors from around the world, generating just under 8 million hits and 2.5 million different page views of unique SFN material. We couldn’t be more proud of the breadth and depth of our growing reach considering that we are just […]
What have Life Time Rights brought us?
I have been contemplating why we still have a coach few seem to want. I have decided the blame falls on Life Time Rights. What LTRs have done is remove the sole mouthpiece of the “common man”. If you do not buy the tickets you lose your ‘lifetime” rights and few, outside of the wealthy, […]
Worst Loss of the Sendek Era?
I think so. It was disgusting to watch this overachieving Carolina team come in and outwork us like that. They wanted each loose ball, each rebound 1000 times worse than we did. To his credit, Sendek didn’t try putting any lipstick on the pig, admitting that we were outcoached, outplayed, out-everything. And that pretty much […]
Headscratchers: NC State 20 FSU 15
Occassionally, Statefansnation will run some reviews of what we consider to be headscratching calls from NC State games. I can understand some people thinking that this feature may be nitpicking (since we won the game) and some will think it is inconsequential (because we won the game). But, why does a team have to LOSE […]
ACC Refs Steal the Show (or Title)
I’m looking forward to seeing all of the statistical evidence that indicates that Duke (and Carolina) don’t receive preferential treatment in officiating. Unfortunately, all the statistics in the world can’t measure calls that aren’t made or just how bad calls that are made can be. Duke wasn’t able to connect on a single field goal […]
