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 [...]
Continue Relaxing, People
There will be plenty of time after the hire is made to score the search, and to try to piece together what actually happened. For the next 36-48 hours (at least – I use that timeframe because it’s the next “benchmark” – i.e., when everyone will travel to Texas for the Final Four weekend then), [...]
Retractions and Apologies from “Donovan in Raleigh” sources
A quick update on last night’s entry that detailed erroneous reports of Billy Donovan’s presence in Raleigh or his intention to travel to Raleigh. I referenced a radio report that was proven incorrect by ESPN’s Dave Telep. Additionally, I referenced a report from a Syracuse graduate student that Billy Donovan was in Raleigh. According to [...]

Dave Glenn addresses Billy Donovan rumor(10 am updated)
Dave Glenn’s twitter feed: From DG – “Sources at Florida and N.C. State not only deny the Billy Donovan-NCSU rumor, they mock the ridiculous, illogical, completely baseless and fundamentally insane nature of the whole thing.” ———————————————————————————— It was a wild day on the Internet this afternoon as apparently erroneous rumors broke that Billy Donovan was [...]
Interview from Spring Practice; National guys continue to ignore facts proving they are wrong
CBSSports.com: Here in Carter-Finley, the fan base has really embraced you in this program. You were 5-1 at home in 2010, with 7 games on the schedule in 2011. How important has this stadium become as a home field advantage? TOB: No I think it’s huge, we have tremendous fans. They love their football, they [...]
Monday Evening Speculation
SFN continues to monitor the rampant speculation, but as we’ve mentioned previously, we have no reason to buy into the credibility of any of it, and as a result, there’s nothing new of value to report this evening. The only thing we’ve really confirmed today is that Jeff Goodman is a “Heisman”-caliber idiot. Here’s a [...]
When Champions are Made… ADs, not Coaches…
I hesitated on whether to bring this to the SFN community at large or just make a forum post, but I think its worth throwing out there in light of the “misinformation” being spread on the blogosphere and the recent outstanding blog post here on SFN’s homepage. This is the moment NC State fans have [...]
NC State coaches bring in top 15 recruiting haul since 1998
You hear it over and over how hard NC State’s job is supposed to be. Yet, the national guys never look at the real facts that NC State fans have known about for years. We hear how hard NC State’s job is because of the proximity to UNC and Duke. Can one of those guys [...]
Ya Gotta Know What Ya Don’t Know
There are many topics that I know a lot about. I know how to cook a whole hog for example. And I also know a lot of facts about the athletic history of NC State. Once while on a long drive with my wife, I kept her awake by recanting every State-Carolina football game from [...]
