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 [...]
Newsflash! Rutgers fans boo entire 2nd half (Updated Fri 10:50am)
BIG NEWS! BIG NEWS! After booing on the kickoff of the second half of thursday’s game against North Carolina, Rutgers fans continued to boo on almost every play from scrimmage throughout the rest of the game.

The Natives are Restless in Blacksburg
Apparently it isn’t just NC State fans who dare to question the leaders of their athletic department. While NC State’s athletics department has struggled as one of the ACC’s worst overall programs during the last decade, our fans have responded by supporting NC State at record levels.

Mission Accomplished: Fowler’s Name in Lights!! (…again)
I couldn’t help but chuckle. (No pun intended). Actually, “chuckle” is an incorrect representation of the amusement I received Friday when a friend from Raleigh emailed Lee Fowler’s open letter to fans to my Blackberry. I almost wrecked as I tried to park my vehicle. (By the way…How long did that take? Seriously….did Fowler have [...]
Two Perspectives on Thursday’s Crowd
Not to beat a dead horse, but Lee Fowler’s open letter was ridiculous both substantively and procedurally. From a substantive standpoint, it’s pure blather. Mr. “I know basketball, and football too, I guess” points to football facilities that “we might not even have” if not for Chuck Amato. As a friend pointed out, most of [...]
