Many thanks to SFN commenter Wufpacker, for putting together the following fantastic, comprehensive preview: If you’re like me, you didn’t know a whole heckuva lot about the Wolfpack’s upcoming opponent in the first round of the NCAA Tournament (sorry, second round) when the brackets were announced. Personally, while I knew they had a monster year [...]

Raise your hand if, like me, you gave a loud “What the hell?” when Mark Gottfried was announced as the new Wolfpack men’s basketball coach nearly a year ago. I admit it – at this time a year ago, I was spending hours on the internet trolling for the scoop on who State would hire. [...]

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 [...]
