Video link to ESPN. Dinich says our hope is in the O-Line and our concern is with the linebackers, which is a fair assesment. Some highlights: Offensive Line: *4 of 5 starters return, led by seniors Wentz and Mattes. *96 combined career starts *Average weight 312 lbs Linebackers *Replacing all 3 starters *Young, inexperienced group […]

Heather Dinich ranks State’s Facilities atop ACC
Our good buddy Heather Dinich ranks the ACC’s “fuhcilitus” (as all you folks Down East call them). She doesn’t waste any time on analysis, but she ranks State’s atop the ACC. ESPN: Image is everything — especially to a 17-year-old recruit who is easily swayed by the glitz and glam of trophy cases, sprawling coaches’ […]
Media misses mark on CLC’s top selling collegiate brands
In an all-too-typical move by the mainstream media, ESPN’s Heather Dinich reported today that NC State is not among the 75 top selling brand-name schools licensed by the Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC). Dinich’s blog post read: Other schools ranked among the top 75 universities were: No. 36 Maryland No. 38 Virginia No. 40 Georgia Tech […]
NC State – North Carolina picked as a top ‘rivalry’ for 2009
First, I detest the inappropriate use of the term ‘rivalry’ used to describe a short term time horizon such as a single season. No matter how long they play football on this earth the Florida State – Wake Forest game will never be a ‘rivalry’. Could they really not have found a better term to […]
Sunday Stuff – July 12th
====> Please no Lorenzo Brown comments in this entry. Once we get over our devastation we will post its own entry. ====> Stud outside linebacker, Kendall Moore, of Southeast Raleigh choose Notre Dame over NC State this weekend. (Link to the story) This one hurts, as Moore would have been a fantastic complement […]
Chatting with Rivers and more ‘House Divided’ crap
I ran across a pretty low quality chat with Philip Rivers this morning. Audio only although they do flash some photos up in a slideshow type format (check out the photo with Broncos QB Jay Cutler with his head down). Let this quench our thirst for football season as we have to wait many more […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
A View from the Cheap Seats
Dear Heather Dinich, Good for you, having been to all of the ACC stadiums – it’s something I can’t say for myself. And kudos to ESPN for hiring an Indiana graduate and a Maryland resident to write a regular blog about the ACC. I’ll be honest here, Heather. I’m provincially prejudiced and I don’t intend […]
