Oh Crap. Sorry Dudes. Lots going on lately. Yesterday, I knew this game was today. Today, however….I blanked. Sorry. So this is gonna be short and sweet. Well, short at least…. – Last time out the young Pack (11-3, 0-1 ACC) got spanked pretty good in South Beach. Tonight, they return home to face a […]
Virginia Tech Hokies
Basketball in Blacksburg
OK, perhaps that title is a logical absurdity. But the fact remains that the Pack travels to VT today to kick off its ACC schedule. It never really feels like winter to me until the conference portion of the schedule gets underway. This year, there was also that little issue of it being warmer at […]
Game Thread – Wolfpack Football in Blacksburg
Not gonna lie. I’m packing for the beach and forgot about putting this entry up until about an hour ago while I was in line at the ABC Store. I’m at least 50% confident that the timing of my realization was coincidental, and that I have no Pavlovian link to NC State athletics and alcohol. […]
NC State 69 Virginia Tech 53
Please watch: It was a game that could only hurt NC State’s chances to get into the NCAA Tournament, but the Wolfpack took care of business to effectively ‘hold serve’ in Mark Gottfried’s quest to dance for the 4th consecutive season. After the win, ESPN’s RPI indicates […]

Virginia Tech Hokies (10-16, 2-11) | NC State Wolfpack (15-11, 6-7) GoPack game preview Welp, El Comondante95 had to ask out of posting the game thread so you fine folks are stuck with me. Sorry!

Winners of 8 of their last 10 games, including 3 consecutive weekend series wins, the Pack is finally playing at least something like the top 10 team they were purported to […]
Baseball Halfway Point – Virginia Tech Weekend Preview
Having won 3 straight and 5 of their last 6, and with Trea Turner back in the everyday lineup, the #25 Wolfpack looks like they may have begun to turn the tide a bit. They’ll have to play well this weekend to continue that trend however, because the #22 Virginia Tech Hokies come to Raleigh […]
State survives Virginia Tech, ACC officiating blunders
NC State had to go to overtime because the Atlantic Coast Conference officials couldn’t monitor the free throw lane one of the most simple and basic rules of basketball. “Players not in a legal marked lane space shall remain behind the FTline extended & behind the 3-point FG line untilthe ball strikes” — Shawn Krest […]
P.S. – Basketball Team Lost Again
Not that it will surprise any of you, any more than it did the subdued crowd in Raleigh. The Hokies lead pretty much from start to finish, and close out a 77-69. Here’s the ESPN recap, if interested in a few of the sorry details. Like most of you, I’m much more interested in coaching […]
Outscored 41-13 at home
If you can stand it, then you can use this entry to discuss the aftermath of being outscored 41-13 by Virginia Tech after taking a 17-0 lead. Oddly enough, my biggest frustration while sitting in the stands was not the conventional wisdom that our defense was collapsing. My unverified (at the time) frustration was the […]
