We wanted to make sure that you good folks knew about the newest developments on PJ Hairston’s excellent adventure to Durham and had a place to voice your thoughts on the matter. You can refresh a little by reading this quick piece… UNC’s top scorer P.J. Hairston charged with possession of marijuana (USAToday.com) According to [...]
Hook Em!
It is Rick Barnes vs John Calipari. A match-up of two premier coaches that NC State could have hired multiple times since 1995. A match-up designed to highligh Lee Fowler’s incompetence as the two primary coaches on which Fowler should have been able close the deal two years ago match-up for the right to head [...]
Wolfpack defeat Tarheels on the diamond

Wolfpack 8 Tarheels 6 The Wolfpack, which improved to 15-9 overall and 5-6 in the ACC, carried a 2-2 tie into the bottom of the sixth inning, [...]
Saturday Bytes – Tarheels defeat Wolfpack (sound familiar?) OR State’s/Davidson irony (Updated 2pm)
……crunch….. Carolina’s third ranked baseball team beat the Wolfpack 5-2 yesterday (I thought we had some new authors who were excited about covering baseball on SFN? hello? anyone out there?). The Tar heels are 21-4 overall and 8-2 in the ACC. After a one-hit loss to Marshall, the Wolfpack are tracking just perfectly to an [...]

It’s kind of hard to blame the strength of Duke and Carolina for our failure to succeed in anything outside [...]
NCAAT Second Thursday (Huzzah for the Cougars)

In a way, we’re all CougFans tonight, but no way do we adopt after that wicked mojo we put on Clemson. I remember a bad 80s [...]
A Quick Note About “Disappearing Comments”
We’ve recently discovered that there were about 25 comments mistakenly marked as spam — and they were mixed in with the usual real spam that touts fake pills, pleas for help from Nigerian princes, dating sites and the like. I’ve had to set the filters to be quite strict, as SFN is a popular destination [...]
A View from the Cheap Seats
Ya’ll know this is all our fault – mine and yours – right? It’s simple, really. There is a profound dichotomy to the average State fan, a great paradox that makes each of us our own worst enemy: we are intensely loyal…to a fault. As long as we continue to feed this monster, improvement won’t [...]
What About Billy?
Here’s a little something that ties in nicely with an earlier entry about Billy Packer. As Newsday columnist Neil Best wrote recently, Packer’s partner Jim Nantz stood up at a CBS press event and said if ESPN’s Dick Vitale receives a nomination to the Hall of Fame as a special contributor, then so should Packer.
