All I can say is – Pete Carroll made the right call going for it on 4th down. His defense was never going to stop Vince Young when he had 4 downs to work with (even a moron like Mack Brown would have to call the QB draw at least 1 time out of 3, […]

A Look Back at the Bubble
Hopefully, NC State fans will view the bubble discussions for the NCAA tournament selection this year with mild curiosity instead of intense emotional interest. However, I thought it might be interesting to see what kind of trends could be detected from selections made in the recent past. According to any number of articles that are […]
More Media (ESPN) Nonsense
The ESPN crew has become a disgusting band of self-promoting carnies? When was it exactly that “all-timeâ€? became the ubiquitous companion to the word great? As many of you who have read this website over the course of the 2005 football season know, I don’t have much patience for USC dogma. But before anyone questions […]
CLT OBS Headline Writer Struggles with Common Sense
The headline of today’s Meineke Car Care Bowl section of the Charlotte Observer reads: “Sales slow for Pack and…who?” Link Look at that again. “SLOW” ticket sales. SLOW ticket sales “for (the) Pack”. Oh my God. Is this a joke that missed the mark? Talk about living up to the stereotype of being out of […]
Byting Miami Quotes
I didn’t have the opportunity to listen to the commentators during the State-Alabama game last week because I was watching the game at Amedeo’s. But, I did make note of some quotes that the Fox Basketball crew shared during the Miami game that I had not logged yet and thought that I would throw on […]
Pack Not off National Radar
A month ago, we highlighted Clark Kellogg’s projected Sweet 16 for 2006. If you visit Yahoo Sports’ College Basketball front page today, you will see a picture of Ilian Evtimov and Cedric Simmons and a mention that NC State may not have made Clark’s list, but the Pack is not off the radar. I know […]
Miami, Pack Basketball “in middle”
Don’t look now…but NC State has a very important basketball game against the University of Miami on Sunday in the RBC Center. Gregg Doyel ranks the game as one of the ten best of the weekend, also stating that the games this weekend are “crummy”. Herb Sendek is 0-1 against Miami after losing in Miami […]
ACC Bowl “Beauty Contest” to Change
It looks like this year’s arguable shafting (depending on your point of view) of Boston College and Georgia Tech will be less likely in the future, per this Atlanta Journal-Constitution article. Key excerpt: In the future, the Charlotte, Nashville and San Francisco bowls will tell the ACC which teams they want, the schools will tell […]
Some Thursday Sports Levity
From the reliably funny website “The Onion,” the following recap of the year in sports. My two favorites: Jan. 4—USC wins the FedEx Orange Bowl to claim an undisputed No. 1 ranking and the national championship, defeating Oklahoma in the first half 55-17, Auburn in the third quarter 21-9, and a combined Utah/Boise State all-star […]
