I’ll make this short and sweet and let you add in your thoughts in the comments: What if NC State’s athletics were graded and a GPA built using essentially the same standards that each student at NC State faces in their classes? I think that overall, the Athletics Department’s GPA would hover around a 1.0 […]
Rankings & Lists
Heather Dinich ‘Heart’ David Cutcliffe
She’s at it again. The woman who originally ranked Carter-Finley Stadium the ACC’s 11th toughest place to play while ranking Kenan Stadium 4th because of its scenic beauty… This place is just the right size, and the picturesque pine trees make this one of the nicest venues in the league. Butch Davis has an amazing […]
ACC Sports Journal: Wolfpack Failed to Fix Line With 2005 Class

Gibbons currently ranks Lowe’s ’09 recruiting class #6
Wolfpackers everywhere are desperate for some good news. So – no matter how subjective the good news may be – we wanted to link ESPN’s recent article from recruiting guru Bob Gibbons. Gibbons ranks the 2009 college basketball recruiting classes as they currently stand and there is good news for NC State fans as the […]
US News and World Report College Rankings Released
NC State is ranked #83. For the record, I think these rankings are incredibly biased against land grant universities, especially those that place heavy emphasis on science and engineering. That said, NC State is more than 10 slots behind #71 Virginia Tech, and more than 20 slots lower than #61 Clemson. I consider these schools […]
More Fun With Rankings- ACC Coaches
Here’s something to play with on a Thursday morning in August. Our favorite ESPN ACC blogger is at it again. (I suppose I’m using a “neutral” favorite there– neither a compliment nor in the perjorative.) Since we had so much fun with the stadium rankings, here is a ranking of the ACC coaches. Now, these […]
The State of State Part Five – ACC Rankings (Bar Graphs Galore)
How do NC State’s ACC winning percentages and conference finishes compare to the other schools in the conference during Lee Fowler’s tenure as AD from 2000-01 to 2007-08? Below are winning percentage statistics in ACC play for the 13 sports that have win/loss records and average finish for the 8 sports that do not have […]
Stadium Argument Follow-up
An awful lot of attention was applied to an ESPN blog post about “toughest” football stadiums in the ACC throughout the conference’s footprint this week. SFN led the charge with a pretty comprehensive initial entry that can be seen by clicking here and then was followed-up by a great piece from LRM that received a […]
ESPN.com: Carter-Finley 11th Toughest Stadium In The ACC (Updated 1:45pm)
It’s almost the official middle of summertime – about six weeks past Memorial Day and about six weeks until the start of the college football season - so it is obviously a slow time where college sports are concerned. Fall practices are still several weeks out, and it’s really too soon for the major media outlets to start covering […]
ACC “Hatred Index”
I first became aware of this via link to the Hole board, but it’s still an interesting time waster for a Holiday weekend (with little expected NC State news). Since we are not a message board, we can’t have elimination-style voting. So, just use the comments to list the other ACC teams in order of […]
