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 [...]
Cheap Seats Football Retrospective: Part III, Philip Rivers
This is Part III of a five-part series that is by no means intended to be authoritative. Rather, it’s nothing more than an incomplete, inconclusive, sometimes erroneous, while always biased retrospective of recent State football history. Part of this was based on nothing more than my attempt to answer the question so many of us [...]

…and it continues – Donald Bowens still out [Updated w/ LB news]
Updated Entry – July 30, 2009 Pretty significant news coming out of Greensboro this morning and Ken Tysiac got it up on ACCNow in short order.

Atlantic Division Preview – The Case Against…Wake Forest
As college football season approaches, I noted how difficult it was to pick someone to win the ACC’s Atlantic Division. On the flip side, I could easily argue the case against every team. The “slow season” for Wolfpack news is an ideal time to explore this in more detail. Previously, we talked about Clemson and [...]
Cheap Seats Football Retrospective: Part I, The 1990s
Back in March of this year, any column I would’ve written could’ve only been titled “Why I should’ve gone to [insert SEC school here].” As I left Tobacco Road on Glenwood Avenue after watching yet another State basketball season mercifully end – like so many years before it – on the Thursday of the ACC [...]
Tobacco Road Football – HD picks “Carolina” despite ranking State higher in power ratings
First, I really liked this entry on the ACC Atlantic’s Ultimate 2009 schedule. The Wolfpack’s games comprise almost half the season with five selections and that doesn’t include the last game of the year when Carolina travels to Carter-Finley. Maybe that game could have made the list if the Tarheels could have kept the score [...]
