Note – The great pic from the WRAL or N&O doesn’t really tie into the article. I just like it. I really appreciate the Wolfpack extending the basketball season so that the latest OOC SOS summary will appear before we move into baseball and the long drought until football comes back on Labor Day […]
Normally, one of my favorite entries to prepare is the post-mortem on Selection Sunday. I get to make fun of the idiots behind the desks and poke holes in their weak attempts at championing some miserable “left-behind”. It’s also fun to look over the resumes and work out which items must have been most important […]
Well that was a pretty miserable weekend of basketball. The only close game was Sunday’s Pitt/WF game with the Panthers falling to the Winston-Salem Curse as well. I wonder if there is some shaman we could pay to transfer that curse to them permanently? Here is the conference summary table with the RPI rankings coming […]
There was a full slate of games on Saturday, with four blowouts (three of which were in the Triangle) and two nail biters. With both nail biters working out to State’s advantage along with a fairly easy win against VT, I think that this weekend was about as good as could be expected. With the […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
