Noon Kickoffs After losing to both Akron and Wake Forest in our only noon kickoffs of the season, NC State has been scheduled for the noon kickoff slot (on miserable Raycom/Lincoln Financial) for the next two weeks. Link to comprehensive schedule and link to an entry about the inconvenient nature of the Akron scheduling (as […]

More Hickson in the Media
To illustrate the point of why JJ Hickson’s commitment was so vital to the health (and maybe more importantly, the perceived health) of the NC State basketball program, we direct you to this Fayetteville Observer article and Dave Glenn’s insightful blog post. Perhaps the best summary I’ve seen is in the last two paragraphs of […]
Amato Off Mandel’s List
In June of 2005, Sports Illustrated‘s Stewart Mandel listed Chuck Amato as the nation’s most over-rated coach. (Link) In June of 2006, Sports Illustrated‘s Stewart Mandel demoted Chuck Amato and called him the nation’s worst coach.(Link) This week, Mandel made some revisions to his 2006 list. In a move that Jeff obviously supported in this […]
SI’s SEASON Predictions Wrong by Week 5
Sorry. We couldn’t help ourselves. We wanted to make point about the “power” of preseason prognostications. The “experts” write it before a single game is played. Therefore, it must be true. The public – and fans – read what is written and start committing it to their conscious as something that is generally accepted to […]
Holtz & 850 Buzz: Nailing The Predictions

NC State Makes Deadspin…
…thanks to our student section’s in-game pissing. Huzzah!
Calls For Bunting’s Job Grow Louder
Today, the News & Observer is really focusing on the Bunting situation with a couple of articles, one of which is – “Clock ticks on Bunting”.. Additionally, this entry @ AOL highlights some recent articles. Although it doesn’t surprise me that the world is FINALLY talking about the obvious…it continues to fascinate me how “hot” […]
Week 3 – TV Schedule
No need to rehash this as the best college football-viewing weekend of the season. Everyone already knows that. You know the games, and if you don’t, just take a look at this week’s schedule. The LSU/Auburn game is the biggest on my TV, the SEC West, the SEC overall, and yes; it’s the biggest game […]
Updated: Amato’s Remarks Go National
Perhaps this will stretch out into a three day story. In any event, we check in at #5 in ESPN.com’s “Bottom 10”. I must admit that the logo (wolf wearing gaudy sunglasses) is pretty clever. Think that is bad? Try this one on for size. Fresno State head coach Pat Hill ripped into Amato yesterday. […]
