September 9th, 9:15 pm: This entry originally posted earlier in the week, but got buried in the UNC scandal coverage. We’re going to bring it back to the top of the blog since we are getting so much traffic from various ACC blogs today. Please don’t miss out on the other big entries we’ve got […]

Sorry for the lack of live blog tonight. Work won’t allow it. Fire away.
Preview: NC State vs Virginia
After beating NCCU Saturday, the Wolfpack go on the road Wednesday evening to Charlottesville, Va. to take on the surprising Cavaliers, who moved to 4-2 in the ACC by defeating UNC Sunday. Virginia dominated the Heels from start to finish in Chapel Hill Sunday evening, shooting almost 52 percent from the field while holding the […]
That is going to leave a mark
NC State succeeded to erase most of the goodwill the Wolfpack had built in the early part of the season with an embarrassing 70-62 home loss to fellow projected cellar-dwellar, Virginia. State was up ten points in the middle of the second half when Mike Wood called an ‘interesting’ charge on Dennis Horner that took […]
NC State welcomes Virginia for ACC home opener
I know this is only the second game of the conference schedule for the Wolfpack and the first contest in the RBC Center, but Saturday’s game against the Cavaliers is a must-win. I hate to put that sort of pressure on the second ACC game, but it’s the truth. For the Wolfpack to have any […]

Alternative title: Things I never thought I’d say – ‘Still dreaming of a trip to Omaha’ (Picture above was emailed to SFN from a reader. If anyone out there deserves ‘credit’ then please let us know) Since Lee Fowler became NC State’s Athletics Director, the Virginia Cavaliers – whose overall athletics program ranks near the […]
2008 ACC Football Review
It should be really easy to project this fall’s college football results. All we have to do is: – Assess what went right/wrong in 2008. – Subtract contributions from “graduating†players. – Add in contributions that we will see from new players. – Subtract lost contributions due to injuries. That should leave us with […]
Grading the CBB Coaching Hires
If you follow our blog then you recognize that we enjoy following the football and basketball “coaching carousels”. After (former NC State assistant) Buzz Peterson finally accepted the App State job we thought it was the right time to review this year’s coaching carousel. Before the season began, FoxSports.com listed these 12 coaches as ‘coaches […]
