Hayes: Ranking the ACC Football Stadiums

Great minds do think a lot. Yesterday, Dave Sez ran a piece on a topic that we also had started and were holding in our drafts box and waiting for the “slow days” of late July and August to use. We even had the link to Fansblog in our entry. Now that we are last [...]

Carter-Finley’s Best, Part I

Tim Peeler has neat piece up on GoPack.com. (Link) I’m looking for a little help. To help celebrate the 40th anniversary of Carter-Finley Stadium, the athletics department is looking to identify the top seven games ever played at NC State’s home football stadium. After we have identified the top 20 candidates, we’re going to conduct [...]

63 Greatest Games in NCAA Tournament History

Each March, the air becomes full of lists, “look backs” and NCAA nostalgia. Last year we highlighted that NC State dominates one writer’s All-Time Comeback List. This year, we add to the mix NC State’s presence in the 63 Greatest Tournament Games ever played with 3 of the top 34 games. One game that I [...]

Shooting Gallery

A discussion at the end of a comment string last week got me thinking – what would an all-time “first team” list of ACC shooters look like? I had a chance to discuss with two colleagues at lunch (one Duke fan, one UNC fan), and we seemed to agree on the following: Updated: You convinced [...]

Wolfpack Dominates Comeback List

I’ve got tons of old entries that I began during the past 9 months but never posted. As we work our way up to the start of football season, I will work to just “dump” them onto the site for future use. We will start with this article from the Las Vegas Sun that took [...]

UNC Scandal

SFN to James Moeser: At Long Last, Have You No Decency, Sir?

by BJD95

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 [...]

Scandal Over, UNC Wants To Grow Athletics Revenue to $100 Million

by Alpha Wolf

You have to hand it to UNC: those guys have unmitigated gall. Before their new chancellor has her first day on the job, and before lame-duck Chancellor Holden Thorp can announce whatever his “blue-ribbon” panel led by led by Hunter Rawlings, president of the Association of American Universities, has come up with, UNC athletic director [...]

UNC Administrator, to victim: “Rape is like football”

by StateFans

This is truly abhorrent. Many folks call The Carolina Way a myth — but it’s not. Believing a myth can be innocent, borne of ignorance. In fact, The Carolina Way is a giant, perpetuated lie that has bred a culture that believes no ethical or moral sacrifice is too great to ensure athletic superiority. The [...]
