In case you’re wondering, my Minion pic has nothing to do with anyone here at SFN. The fact that a 15 min drive home after lunch took almost an hour should explain it. Oh and I forgot to mention…there was less than ½ inch of snow on the ground at that time. So for everyone […]
SFN Stuff
Are you ready to win a title? (Part I)
Everyone says their goal is to “Win It All Baby!!” but do they really have a team that can have their One Shining Moment? This will be a 3 Part Series taking a look at what all National Championship Teams have in common between 2002 and 2014. Is it talent level? What about the systems […]
ACC Weekly Review
I think we need to start an on-line petition to turn Monday back into “Big Monday” and move the mid-week ACC games back to the Tue through Thurs spot. All of these Monday games play heck with the timeliness of my weekly reviews. Once again the RPI and Dance Card info covers through Sunday’s games […]
Another Basketball Mid-Season Look – Wins vs Losses
State’s basketball team has a week off and we’re at just past the halfway point of the ACC season so there have already been a couple of great entries here at SFN looking at the state of the basketball program (no pun intended) like the ACC Mid-Season Review, Calling Dr Heimlich and The rest of […]
The rest of this season – what to expect?
Within the comments section of VaWolf82’s fantastic ACC Mid-Season Review, there was a post that prompted me to reflect on the Wolfpack’s current basketball season. In my opinion, the post – by 13OT – really cut to the heart of why we’ve seen what we’ve seen this season – the good and the bad. A […]
ACC Mid-Season Review
Originally published on Tuesday of this week: This past weekend had six games on Sat, one on Sun, and then another one on Monday night…Two overtime games, multiple close games, and only two with the final differential greater than six points. Throw in the fact that State won one of the OT games and UNC […]
Weekly ACC Review
Well that was a tough week. I really wanted at least one win last week. If you remember, I pointed out last week that ND and Miami were in the running for the easiest schedules among teams in the upper half of the conference. My projection was that a win against either team would ultimately […]
Miami AD apologizes for fan pushing Cat Barber
Nice update here: What I don’t understand is how in the hell is that fan was allowed to stay in the arena and wasn’t immediately escorted out? Major security issue there. @JamesCurle @jwgiglio @LukeDeCock What if @Chris_Corchiani or Tom Gugliotta pushed a player from the opposing team? #Alcatraz […]
ACC Roundup
Sunday was the second of six consecutive days with at least one ACC basketball game being played. So the RPI rankings discussed below were valid thru Saturday’s games. After all, does anyone really think that the UNC/VT game is going to change anything meaningful in the discussion? Before we get to the summary table, I’ve […]
Technician Disappoints Again: “No Daily Tar Hell”. Students Respond
The Technician had it’s chance for redemption after letting down so many NC State fans who appreciated the tradition of printing a Daily Tar Hell, the spoof of UNC’s student paper. You can revisit the story from last year on our entry here along with a response from the former editor of the Technician We made […]
