In an all-too-typical move by the mainstream media, ESPN’s Heather Dinich reported today that NC State is not among the 75 top selling brand-name schools licensed by the Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC). Dinich’s blog post read: Other schools ranked among the top 75 universities were: No. 36 Maryland No. 38 Virginia No. 40 Georgia Tech [...]

First, I detest the inappropriate use of the term ‘rivalry’ used to describe a short term time horizon such as a single season. No matter how long they play football on this earth the Florida State – Wake Forest game will never be a ‘rivalry’. Could they really not have found a better term to [...]
