Yes, I know. Very clunky and convoluted title. Couldn’t make it any prettier. Simply put, State got its ass kicked tonight. Why? They played a consensus pre-season Top Five team. On the road. Playing their very best (especially on defense and the glass). It happens. Prior to tonight, NC State largely took care of business, [...]

ESPN has a blog entry (linked here) reviewing the ANNOUNCED attendance at each respective ACC school. NC State’s level of fan support continues to support a thesis that our football program should at the very least be the top of the second tier of the ACC if not the bottom of the ‘first tier’. Hopefully [...]

As most of you know, the New York Giants and the New England Patriots will be heading to this year’s Super Bowl. I have a confession to make: I couldn’t be too much less interested in NFL football than I am, at least when it comes to keeping up with who’s who and what teams [...]

HUGE win for NC State down in Miami!! Link to Boxscore I’m so excited that I can’t wait for tomorrow morning so I can see the impact to our RPI. Regardless of the direct impact to our numbers, a 15-5 (4-1) ACC team who has played a Top 30 schedule is clearly/squarely a (currently projected) [...]

As was the Wake contest last weekend, this will be a “treadmill game” for me. I will join you in the comments for the second half, but hopefully my first half running will provide similar good luck. NC State is in a three game “house money” stretch. Well, sort of. Going 0-for-3 wouldn’t be good [...]
