Tuesday, August 25, 2009
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 about Clemson, Florida [...]

Friday, July 17, 2009
It has been slow recently, but there were a few interesting articles/topics to highlight this afternoon. The first deals with an athletic director “think tank” that for some reason doesn’t include our own Lee Fowler. The topic of this year’s meeting in Durham, NC was athletic budgets in the recession: DeFilippo said it’s difficult for [...]

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 of the 10 [...]

Monday, January 5, 2009
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 [...]

Click over to their blog for good analysis and comments (well, most are good). Quote from Jackhole DeFilippo: “We’re having fun now,” he said. “We’ve won before, but we had no fun. This is still a game, it’s not life and death. The fun is back in Boston College football. Tom did a wonderful job [...]

Monday, April 23, 2007
Just a quick hit from one of the best blogs around: (Note: this is a week old, but still relevant). I am not going to make a huge deal of something this small…because we have talked about the topic a lot since TOB accepted the NC State job and publicly commented on all of the [...]
