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 […]
Rankings & Lists
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 […]
ACC “Hatred Index”
I first became aware of this via link to the Hole board, but it’s still an interesting time waster for a Holiday weekend (with little expected NC State news). Since we are not a message board, we can’t have elimination-style voting. So, just use the comments to list the other ACC teams in order of […]
TOB: FBall Coaching Rankings Shine
In recent years, Sports Illustrated’s Stewart Mandel made quite a name for himself with his rankings of the best – and the WORST – college football coaches. Perhaps NC State fans followed Mandel’s rankings a little closer than other schools because of the presence of our own Chuck Amato. In June of 2005, Mandel listed […]
Dave Sez: Best NCAA Tournament Coaches
Great work by Dave Sez regarding the Best NCAA Tournament coaches of all-time. (Link) We are going to link entry this under “Basketball Resources” on the right hand side of the blog in the event that you ever need to refer to it. If you haven’t/don’t surf our resources on the right side of the […]
63 Greatest Games in NCAA Tournament History
Each March, the air becomes full of lists, “look backs” and NCAA nostalgia. Last year we highlighted that NC State dominates one writer’s All-Time Comeback List. This year, we add to the mix NC State’s presence in the 63 Greatest Tournament Games ever played with 3 of the top 34 games. One game that I […]
Wolfpack Dominates Comeback List
I’ve got tons of old entries that I began during the past 9 months but never posted. As we work our way up to the start of football season, I will work to just “dump” them onto the site for future use. We will start with this article from the Las Vegas Sun that took […]
We’re #50….51!!!!
The 2004-2005 Athletics Season is in the books and the final NACDA Directors Cup rankings of College Athletics Programs has been released. (You may recognize the “Directors Cup” from its former identity of “Sears Cup”). Lee Fowler’s NC State Athletics Department finished the season ranked #51 in the country, logging its worst overall season since […]
June 2: We’re #50!!!!
The most recent NACDA Directors Cup rankings of College Athletics Programs were released today. (You may recognize the “Directors Cup” from its former identity of “Sears Cup”). The June 2, 2005 rankings have Lee Fowler’s NC State Athletics Department holding firm at an embarrassing, but not surprising #50. Fowler’s program has averaged finishing #46.5 in […]
