During the second half, Deon Thompson was shooting free throws. The Smith Center was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. That’s when it happened. One of the Blue Hose faithful yelled something to the effect of “You’re gonna miss it, Deon.†Although it didn’t cause Thompson to miss the free throw, it did […]

The Less Interesting But More Important Coaching Carousel: The Assistants
The annual shuffling of coaches is well underway, of course, with coaches moving up, others moving on and schools scrambling to fill empty slots while their is time to save their recruiting efforts for the year. We aren’t making any changes here at NC State, of course, but the one thing that we as fans […]
Jay Bilas Interview
Link to interview IMHO, Bilas is the current star of college basketball analysts and I usually respect his perspectives. (Nobody is perfect). In this interview he comments on the Doug Gottlieb vs Coach K controversy, but has to be very careful to parse Gottlieb’s words so that he doesn’t offend Daddy K. If you haven’t […]
ACC-Big Ten Challenge Preview

The myth of State Fan only caring about beating UNC came back to life today in the News and Observer’s ACC Today blog, this time coming straight from an NC State fan’s mouth: Inside Carolina editor Ben Sherman said that since September, UNC fans’ attention on his independent Tar Heels-devoted site has turned to their […]
Football and Fishing

Many thanks to basspacker for this: Doing a re-broadcast via YouTube of an episode fishing with Clemson Asst Football Coach Andre Powell. Powell […]
Sunday’s Stuff
Anyone who cares anymore is thoroughly embarrassed (again) after Saturday’s egg laying exercise in Blacksburg; the problem is that fewer and fewer people actually care anymore about something that is so irrelevant. We just don’t have the energy or desire to chronicle Saturday’s defeat, so we encourage you to look around our message boards for […]
Wolfpackers speak loud and clear
