Sunday, March 7, 2010

72 Comments

When Dennis Horner hit the RBC Center hardwood with 18:13 left in Saturday’s game with Boston College, he got up with blood streaming down the right side of his face. Head coach Sidney Lowe said he wasn’t sure if the senior forward would return. Return he did. All it took was a few stitches and some [...]

It’s Time The ACC Admitted Its Mistake – Boston College Shouldn’t Be An ACC Team

The annual bowl rota of the ACC took a major nosedive this week when the conference refused to give the Gator Bowl flexibility in selecting an ACC team to play in their annual game.  In place of the Gator Bowl, the Independence Bowl now takes its place.  The Independence is in Shreveport, Louisiana, deep in [...]

Future Opponent Insight: Life on the margins

Already having a great conversation regarding this weekend’s visit to Wake Forest on this entry on the blog and in this thread on the message boards. Additionally, we thought that you would like find some value in this entry from the great Dr. Saturday. His work looks at the weekend of three of the Wolfpack’s [...]

Atlantic Division Preview – The Case Against…Boston College

As college football season approaches, I noted how difficult it was to pick someone to win the ACC’s Atlantic Division. On the flip side, I could easily argue the case against every team. The “slow season” for Wolfpack news is an ideal time to explore this in more detail. Previously, we talked [...]

Something Is Going On In The Big East…But What?

If you read between the lines, it looks like the Big East, which is still smarting from three of its members joining the ACC, is getting a little desperate when it comes to its position in the landscape of college football.  And the reality of college sports is that it is football that drives change, [...]

Cheap Seats Football Retrospective: Part IV, 2007-Present

This is Part IV of a five-part series that is by no means intended to be authoritative. Rather, it’s nothing more than an incomplete, inconclusive, sometimes erroneous, while always biased retrospective of recent State football history. Part of this was based on nothing more than my attempt to answer the question so many of us [...]

Some Wednesday Notes…

I’m sure that most all of us are ready to get back to talking about sports, considering the tumultuous events of the past week here at NC State.  That in mind, here’s some stuff that’s been rattling around the college sports scene: Is BC Getting It’s Own “Chris Weinke?” Without doubt, the roster at BC has slowly [...]

Tough Off-season Continues for Boston College

Tuesday, June 2, 2009

Since entering the ACC, Boston College has been one of the dominant teams in the Atlantic Division of the ACC finishing no worse than tied for 2nd in each of the last four seasons. Results for two of those years were with Tom O’Brien at the helm (tied for 1st, tied for 2nd) and [...]

Here is a list of the “Top 10 Athletic Directors in Basketball”. Two ACC athletic directors made the list, but for some reason the author forgot to include Lee “I know basketball” Fowler. There is a suggestion on that site (not from us) for the author to come up with a list [...]

BC (20-10) 34 35 69 NCSU (16-12) 43 31 74 Playing his last regular season home game (don’t expect a home game in the NIT, either), Big Ben walks off the court a winner – with his rebound and free throws sealing the deal. His final numbers? 20 points and 6 rebounds, with each rebound being crucial. The other stat we can feel great [...]

One last regular season home game for Ben McCauley, Courtney Fells, and almost certainly Brandon Costner. Will they go out with a bang, or a whimper? Vegas is banking on the former, with the Pack a surprising 4 point favorite in tonight’s contest. Both teams need a win. Boston College needs 1 more [...]

Another year…another bowl with an Atlantic Coast Conference tie left reeling after a visit from Boston College. This comes to us from the Nashville Business Journal: Vanderbilt University may have been the big winner in the 2008 Music City Bowl, but Nashville came up short. The New Year’s Eve game between Boston College and Vanderbilt generated $9.97 million [...]

Wolfpack can’t overcome atrocious early effort (Updated at 5pm)

Saturday, January 24, 2009

NC State’s basketball team decided to show up for the second half of today’s game at Boston College but by then the damage was already done. The embarrassing first half performance that lacked effort, focus and intensity dug the Wolfpack too deep a hole. Perhaps the rest of the team simply followed the [...]

It’s Official – Jagodzinski Out at BC

Wednesday, January 7, 2009

Here’s your link. I suppose once DeFilippo went public with his insane threat, he kind of had to go through with it. For the idiots in BC’s fanbase, it is probably a proud chest-thumping moment. For the rational folks, thoughts of “who would work this Al Davis-like guy?” are in the forefront. We [...]

What A Great Guy: BC AD Defilippo Says He’ll Fire Jagodzinski If He Interviews w/ Jets (Updated 9am)

This probably will serve as a little insight as to why Tom O’Brien left Boston College for Raleigh: ESPN’s Chris Mortensen is reporting that Jeff Jagodzinski will be fired as the coach at Boston College if he proceeds with his scheduled interview with the Jets on Monday. According to Mortensen: “Despite the threat from athletic director Gene [...]
