To most of us, the ACC is inherent to our culture, and we’ve seen it go through exceptional changes over the past twenty years. Following is the second of a two-part discussion (Part I: Evolution) focusing on how college football, and the ACC in particular, has changed and how this recent evolution of college football […]

Rivalry Week – An Opponent’s Perspective
Earlier, this year, I asked a friend of mine to write a guest post outlining his perspective of the State/Carolina rivalry. Some background – he is an avid ACC historian and trivia king (rivals our own noah on those fronts), a “friend of the blog,” and the only “football first” UNC fan that I have […]
Happy Sunday
Mario Williams travels to Charlotte to battle the Panthers and Philip Rivers travels to New England to battle the cheaters. Enjoy.
A View from the Cheap Seats
There’s been a lot of talk recently about the decline of ACC football over the past few years. To me, it’s an interesting topic because the whole basis behind expansion was on increased football revenues from restructured television contracts and the multi-million dollar payout from that much-coveted, yet ever-elusive second BCS bowl. In its simplest […]
Rivers Profile Continues to Elevate
Since we were talking about some alums in this entry, I thought that I would bring the two together with an interesting experience on Monday. In the span of a couple of hours I had TWO national Philip Rivers sightings. First, was a sleek Nike commercial that featured LaDanian Tomlinson but included Rivers. The Chargers […]
Southern Pigskin Omits Rivers from All-Decade Team
Southern Pigskin has attempted to put together an All-ACC football team for the last decade. You can see the team here. I guess I have to respect them for trying, even if they made a significant whiff on the most important position on the field. I’m guessing that their ‘rationale’ for putting Chris Weinke on […]
OOC & Central Florida Preview (Updated 8/1)
Updated on August 1st The N&O ran quick blog entry on the importance of the Wolfpack’s first game of the season with some focus on UCF Head Coach, George O’Leary. Link to comments. O’Leary doesn’t have to embellish his resume when it comes to N.C. State. He went 6-1 against the Wolfpack as Georgia Tech’s […]
Logan: From Booth to BC / NCS OC Comments
Nothing major in this feature on Steve Logan. But, it was interesting and something not to completely ignore in light of Logan’s connections to the Triangle and the overlap with the Tom O’Brien move from BC. One tangent that I’d like to highlight stems from the following quote from the article: Logan, 54, is replacing […]
K-Rob Ranks High on Bust List
For everything that Torry Holt represented about hard work, discipline, and keeping one’s head on straight; Koren Robinson (unfortunately) seemed to represent the opposite. Robinson was easily one of the best players to don a uniform for Chuck Amato at NC State. Unfortunately for K-Rob, his strong play in Raleigh did not translate to the […]
Lowe Wins 3rd in Row vs UNC (Updated 2/4)
Two games this week…two wins over teams sitting in first place of the ACC! Sidney Lowe “gets it”. 15 point underdog stuns UNC in Raleigh. What a difference a year – and a coaching change – can make! We had an entry open during the game that has some of our comments about the game. […]
