I will be honest here – I am so inured to the culture of corruption, and Monty Python’s Black Knight caliber of willful and idiotic denial…I didn’t think anything UNC scandal related could shock me anymore. Then I read this, and you should as well: Prepare to be disgusted. Horrific doesn’t even begin to describe [...]

Mickey Plyer: Fire Tommy Bowden Now
So here is my opinion of what Terry Don Phillips should do: 1. Inform Tommy Bowden today that he has been released as the head coach. 2. Name Dabo Swinney as the interim head coach.
ACC Power Rankings
The Atlantic Coast Conference has certainly had a topsy-turvy first month of the season. After starting slowly, the conference earned enough respect in recent weeks to move as high as fourth in comparative conference rankings. The events of this past weekend certainly didn’t help our image. (Why can’t we ever play a Wake Forest team [...]
Lee Fowler announces new marketing ploy
In a stroke of rare sheer genius, NC State Athletics Director Lee Fowler has announced an original plan to increase apparel sales while raising excitement amoung the NCSU fan base. Contained in this official news release from Media Relations Director are the details to the plan. AD Lee Fowler has declared a “Purple Out” for [...]
Post-Game Thoughts

We could play USF 100 times, and we’d lose at least 99. * USF clearly watched film of last week’s [...]
Pack/Da Bulls Game Thread
Sorry I forgot to put this up before leaving for the stadium. I blame the Benadryl. It’s already 7-0, and we will need divine intervention to compete tonight. But Beck has promised to “throw it where he throws it” – so prepare to be entertained.
Saturday Football Open Thread (Updated 1:45pm)
Naturally, when the Pack finally gets a coveted Saturday night home game…all the good TV matchups are late starts (Alabama at Georgia being the highlight). I suppose UNC/Miami is somewhat interesting, in that a loss would almost surely knock the Holes out of Coastal Division contention. And a loss really should be the end result [...]
Volleyball ACC Losing Streak Comes To An End!
Tonight in Reynolds Coliseum, the NC State volleyball team snapped a 56 game ACC losing streak with a 3-1 win over Boston College. Witnessed in person by myself and good friend and fellow stat major ruffles31, the Pack now stands 1-0 for the season in the ACC and 7-9 overall. Congrats to Coach Stubbs and [...]
Holland credits NC State for allowing ECU athletics to stand on its own
Thanks, Terry! “both of you (Lee Fowler and Dick Baddour) have been extremely cooperative in helping us in ways that have given ECU Athletics an opportunity to stand on its own” This whole pissing match between the embarrassment that is Lee Fowler and the AD too-good-for-his-current school (Terry Holland) is too ridiculous for words. Since [...]
