Good Ole Terry Bowden
If ever there were a clueless sports analyst, it is Terry Bowden. From his ludicrous perspective on racial issues in coaching, to this wonderful statement: “I ordered the game on pay-per-view just so I could watch him.â€? Isn’t Terry a college football analyst? Isn’t it his job to watch college football? Should we start a […]
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.
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. […]
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.

It was announced on the Mike & Mike radio show this morning that Sunday night’s ACC opener between Virginia Tech and NC State achieved the highest college football viewing ratings in the history of ESPN2, also known as the Vick Network. Ironically, one of NC State and East Carolina’s football games in Charlotte in the […]
Tough First Week for Hayes
Matt Hayes of The Sporting News is easily one of my favorite sports writers in the country. Hayes’ perspective of college football is typically amongst the most insightful and knowledgeable in the country. But, Hayes’ forecasting skills seem to leave a quite a bit to be desired. Last weekend, Hayes went a woeful 1-5 with […]
CFball Announcers Beware the Vick Network
It was a bad weekend to be a college football-related personality on ESPN, ‘The Vick Network”. Generally unpopular analyst, Trev Alberts, was fired on Sunday when he failed to show up for work. This article does a good job explaining the situation. Alberts is/was a highly intelligent analyst whose delivery style generally rubbed the audience […]
