Sophomore Jinx? (Coaching Edition)
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that we are under 48 hours (under 36 actually…took me longer to get around to posting this than I thought) until Wolfpack Football kicks off the ’14 campaign and attempts to rid itself of the collective taste left from ’13. With all of the recent rehashing […]
A Brief History of Shutouts and Blowouts
Today’s 34-0 loss to Florida State was the 3rd time NC State has been shutout under Tom O’Brien. State was also shutout in back-to-back games, the opening game of the 2008 season 34-0 to South Carolina and the season finale in 2007 was a 37-0 loss to Maryland. I’m sure you’ve noticed that all 3 […]
Dick Sheridan coaching tree?
Bruce Fowler has been hired as Furman University’s 22nd head football coach. This made me wonder, how big is the Dick Sheridan coaching tree?

Benchmark Tom O’Brien: The Race to Perceived Success
First, something for the liberal-arts lovers: “All our knowledge has its roots in our perception.”  -Leonardo da Vinci. I wonder if da Vinci ever tried quantifying perception?  Every college program has coaching dynasties that we view, or perceive, as “good programs”.  To back this up, we have all of the records, stats, and bowl trophies to […]
Comprehensive (But Scattered) Thoughts on the Pitt Game
When I think about today’s game, I recall the first glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel. I had been going to NC State football games my whole life (in fact, one of my earliest memories is of the eerie silence settling over C-F when Penn State beat us on a last second […]

Cheap Seats Football Retrospective: Part I, The 1990s
Back in March of this year, any column I would’ve written could’ve only been titled “Why I should’ve gone to [insert SEC school here].†As I left Tobacco Road on Glenwood Avenue after watching yet another State basketball season mercifully end – like so many years before it – on the Thursday of the ACC […]
Rivals: If ND Fires Weis, Irish Might Make a Run At TOB (Updated 7pm)
Final Update: Irisheyes.com, the Scout Notre Dame football franchise, reports that Charlie Weis is set to return for 2009. The discussion below is not for nothing, however, as the fact is that Tom O’Brien will become a person of interest for bigger programs looking to improve their coaching situation. While O’Brien has said that NC […]
