Finally! The Charlotte Observer provides a sign of life that they are at least aware of the scandal in Chapel Hill. Maybe soon they will learn how to run more news stories about this situation somewhere other than page 6. This isn’t nearly as scathing as I would have expected, but at Day 90 of […]

R&R: News and Observer Missing Golden Opportunity
If you listened closely, you probably heard an odd buzz floating through the air around the state of North Carolina yesterday. I know that I contributed to it. What you were hearing was the elevated voices of the collective non-UNC-graduates in the area expressing their astonishment with what greeted them in their Sunday newspapers (followed […]
Pomeranz: Emails About Fowler Didn’t Make a Difference
In a followup to the Ken Tysiac story from the weekend where the Observers’ headline writer claimed that 29 emails made the difference in the status of Lee Fowler’s job, former Technician sports editor and sometime NC State blogger Jim Pomeranz makes sense of it all and injects some much-needed reality: In reality, the idea […]
Big Fowler Article in the Sunday Observers; headline contradicts information in article
Both the Charlotte Observer and Raleigh’s News & Observer ran a large featured article this morning titled – Fowler’s exit from NC State linked to emails. There is SO MUCH here that I don’t have time to start before heading to church! But, we just had to link it and get the conversation started. (Actually…true […]
NBA Draft entry & anecdotal underachiever analysis
Last week we had a fantastic entry and poll that you may not have seen projecting the impact of early entrants in the NBA draft on the ACC Basketball landscape that can be seen by clicking here. Tonight we thought we would open an entry for the NBA Draft which can be followed at the […]
(8pm Update) State’s First Basketball Practice Doesn’t Make Hometown Newspaper
Say What? No Room for NC State Coverage? Saturday’s News & Observer told the world that basketball is back in style at Duke. At Carolina, Roy Williams relishes the role as the favorite. But, Sunday’s News and Observer somehow found room in today’s sports pages for an article about former UNC-CH quarterback Darian Durant’s play […]
Charlotte Observer: Miami Back in Big East (Updated @ 12:45pm)
Sunday’s print edition of The Charlotte Observer included a few pages of college football coverage. 50% of page 17C was devoted to NC State Football with three articles – two of which had been run in the N&O and on ACCNow in the days before Sunday. The other 50% of page 17C was devoted to […]
Changes Coming to N&O Sports Section
I recognize the value in the synergies created by merging many of the duplicative functions created by having operations in both Raleigh and Charlotte; but, the N&O’s Sports Page had easily become the best part of the newspaper while the Charlotte Observer‘s sports page is rife with bias, off-base coverage and one of the worst […]
The Larry Brown Final Four
“This is a nightmare for Roy Williams” — Billy Packer, 9:31 remaining in the first half with the score Kansas 33 UNC 10 “This game…is OVER” — Billy Packer, 7:31 remaining in the first half with the score Kansas 38 UNC 12 It would take a blind person less than a nanosecond to recognize the […]
Who knew getting commitments from South Carolina was such a big deal?
Today’s Charlotte Observer provides us a great opportunity to bring a couple of recent stories together for a quick note. There is certainly nothing earth shattering here; just some interesting observations. Earlier this week we shared two different entries that you should read if you havent. One was an entry focused on NC State football […]
