NBA Draft entry & anecdotal underachiever analysis
Last week we had a fantastic entry and poll that you may not have seen projecting the impact of early entrants in the NBA draft on the ACC Basketball landscape that can be seen by clicking here. Tonight we thought we would open an entry for the NBA Draft which can be followed at the NBA [...]

Sunday, October 19, 2008
Say What? No Room for NC State Coverage? Saturday’s News & Observer told the world that basketball is back in style at Duke. At Carolina, Roy Williams relishes the role as the favorite. But, Sunday’s News and Observer somehow found room in today’s sports pages for an article about former UNC-CH quarterback Darian Durant’s play in the [...]

Monday, August 25, 2008
Sunday’s print edition of The Charlotte Observer included a few pages of college football coverage. 50% of page 17C was devoted to NC State Football with three articles – two of which had been run in the N&O and on ACCNow in the days before Sunday. The other 50% of page 17C was devoted to college [...]

Tuesday, June 17, 2008
I recognize the value in the synergies created by merging many of the duplicative functions created by having operations in both Raleigh and Charlotte; but, the N&O’s Sports Page had easily become the best part of the newspaper while the Charlotte Observer’s sports page is rife with bias, off-base coverage and one of the worst [...]

“This is a nightmare for Roy Williams” — Billy Packer, 9:31 remaining in the first half with the score Kansas 33 UNC 10 “This game…is OVER” — Billy Packer, 7:31 remaining in the first half with the score Kansas 38 UNC 12 It would take a blind person less than a nanosecond to recognize the enormous difference [...]

Thursday, January 31, 2008
Today’s Charlotte Observer provides us a great opportunity to bring a couple of recent stories together for a quick note. There is certainly nothing earth shattering here; just some interesting observations. Earlier this week we shared two different entries that you should read if you havent. One was an entry focused on NC State football recruiting [...]

Monday, January 28, 2008
The Charlotte Observer ran a feature article about college football prospect, Robert Quinn today. To the side of the conclusion of the article on page 3C the Observer listed their Top 50 recruits in North Carolina and South Carolina. Why would I be surprised that they listed RJ Mattes as uncommitted with seven potential schools [...]

Tuesday, January 8, 2008
I would like to link to the Charlotte Observer piece on the blog…but, their crappy website isn’t loading very well this morning so they will have to go without our referal traffic today. “NC State is an impossible team to figure out. The Wolfpack defeated Villanova on a neutral court and won at Seton Hall, but [...]

Tuesday, May 30, 2006
Seven ACC baseball teams made the 64-team NCAA tournament field announced Monday, with North Carolina one of four regional hosts from the league and N.C. State the No. 2 seed at the Austin, Texas, regional. Special thanks to News & Observer for sharing with the world that both Carolina and State made the NCAA Baseball Tournament [...]

Tuesday, April 18, 2006
Monday Night Coaching Update This morning the Charlotte Observer exhibited why their newspaper was so weak that they were recently purchased by a more thriving company – they have the hardest time drawing appropriate conclusions from facts and history. Tom Sorensen’s opinion is pretty lame in his attempt to be cute. He also obviously has had some [...]

Friday, December 30, 2005
The headline of today’s Meineke Car Care Bowl section of the Charlotte Observer reads: “Sales slow for Pack and…who?” Link Look at that again. “SLOW” ticket sales. SLOW ticket sales “for (the) Pack”. Oh my God. Is this a joke that missed the mark? Talk about living up to the stereotype of being out of touch with reality and [...]
