WRAL: Eugene & Vermiglio not on current two-deep WRAL is reporting that neither Jamelle Eugene nor Jake Vermiglio were ‘listed on the N.C. State depth chart for the Pittsburgh game, which was released by the school Monday afternoon.’ I’m not going to lose any sleep over this yet as: (1) I haven’t seen this two-deep listed on [...]

Saturday Stuff

I’m still licking wounds and dealing with depression from Thursday and I just want to turn my attention forward. So, we are NOT going to re-hash all of the post-mortems from Thursday night.

Let’s kick off the week with some basketball. Crunch =====> I have been accused by some of my friends of being too ’soft’ on the current basketball situation and being more optimistic than the average fan.

Exhausting.  The absence of a strong backcourt bites NC State again as the Wolfpack fails to handle the ball appropriately throughout the day and has nobody who can play defense against opposing guards – like Nick Calathus. If only John Wall is watching and can recognize the solid balance comprised in the Wolfpack’s roster before the [...]

Maryland and North Carolina currently sit as the ACC’s only two bowl eligible teams, but a quick look at the conference’s standings before week 10 will show that every team in the conference – except for NC State – has the chance to ultimately control their own destiny.  It is a crazy season!  The loss [...]

===> NC State is half way through Tom O’Brien’s second season but the depth and breadth of the of Wolfpack’s inexplicable rash of injuries makes analysis of the program’s progress under Coach O’Brien challenging.
