23. August 2009
We link to lots of J.P.’s stuff, because he’s interesting and fair in his coverage and analysis. Today, we have another reason to link him, as he has NC State as his pre-season #24 team: 24. N.C. State (6-7): If the Pack can figure out the start, you know Tom O’Brien has the closing kick [...]

Two items of interest from the sunshine state that we thought we would wrap together in a quick entry. (1) Check out this Twitter from FSU’s Tomahawk Nation about Chuck Amato.

Truthfully, I’m not one of those folks who is mesmerized or enamored by big business, the stock market, or even political economic policy. To [...]
