A quick-hitter from the Signing Day presser: [NC State Head Coach Tom] O’Brien said receiver Geron James will transfer and that quarterback Harrison Beck and defensive end Jamaine Clemmons have decided to graduate and not return. He said receiver Donald Bowens had knee surgery Wednesday, and receiver Darrell Davis had shoulder surgery Tuesday. The big [...]
I’ve got a lot of random items from the bowl game but will probably get around to the items in a fragmented manner. We’ve already touched upon NC State’s great fans (Click here) On Monday night in Birmingham after the loss to Rutgers Monday’s the group I was with ran into a lot of players [...]
As a devout reader of the hilarious NFL Blog known to fans as KSK, I can’t help but think of their Rex Grossman posts everytime Harrison Beck enters the game – particularly this one (warning – more bad language than a BJD95 live blog that involves UNC or Duke). I’m certainly glad Beck is taking [...]
Less than an hour after Harrison Beck led NC State to a win over William & Mary NC State Head Coach Tom O’Brien made it clear that Russell Wilson will start under center for tomorrow’s game against Clemson. BJD ran a fantastic analysis of this last weekend. Although few people explicitly criticized Coach O’Brien’s decision, [...]
My reaction is somewhat mixed. It seems clear from the N&O’s writeup of Tom O’Brien’s comments that the coach and I saw Beck’s performance similarly. Beck was light years better than a shellshocked Daniel Evans (last night was his worst performance in a Wolfpack uniform – and that’s really saying something). However, Beck continues to [...]
It’s just a small blurb from last week – Tom O’Brien discussing the five potential starters at QB. It’s not really an embarrassment of riches, as past performance or inexperience means that all candidates come with question marks. But it’s really an academic discussion. Russell Wilson will start, and barring injury or extreme ineffectiveness, will [...]
We opened the topic earlier in the day…and now Pack Pride is confirming the rumors that Harrison Beck will be transferring to NC State. Beck played for John Davis, the father of former Wolfpack quarterback Jay Davis. “One recruiting service had Beck rated the nation’s No. 3 pro-style quarterback as a high school senior in [...]
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 [...]
You have to hand it to UNC: those guys have unmitigated gall. Before their new chancellor has her first day on the job, and before lame-duck Chancellor Holden Thorp can announce whatever his “blue-ribbon” panel led by led by Hunter Rawlings, president of the Association of American Universities, has come up with, UNC athletic director [...]
This is truly abhorrent. Many folks call The Carolina Way a myth — but it’s not. Believing a myth can be innocent, borne of ignorance. In fact, The Carolina Way is a giant, perpetuated lie that has bred a culture that believes no ethical or moral sacrifice is too great to ensure athletic superiority. The [...]
