‘Ballin is a Habit’ needs to make ‘Accuracy a Habit’
Link to Ballin is a Habit (before they go in and fix a crucial mistake that completely changes the premise of their lead-in). Dear random blogger, fan, &/or media member — How about doing yourself and your credibility a service and have some clue of reality and fact before deciding to implicitly or explicitly draw a [...]

Thursday, November 19, 2009
NC State is currently tied for the worst record in the Atlantic Coast Conference football season as the program heads towards its longest consecutive streak of non-winning seasons since the 1950s. The Wolfpack has been picked to finish 12th out of 12 teams from almost every imaginable source for the upcoming basketball season continuing [...]

Wednesday, October 14, 2009
After that debacle within Carter-Finley last weekend, the timing for this just seems eerily appropriate, especially since I’m not at all hopeful about the upcoming basketball season. My original intent was a more comprehensive basketball retrospective similar to the one I did for football back in the summer. But I decided that nothing [...]

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 an [...]

(Wake Forest Athletics Director Ron) Wellman will soon complete his 17th year as the director of athletics at Wake Forest University. The university’s teams have flourished under him, winning conference and national championships while generally exceeding expectations for the smallest school in the Atlantic Coast Conference and one of the smallest to play major-college football. Welcome [...]

Thursday, April 9, 2009
So much going on out there that we couldn’t ignore it all and thought you would appreciate a comprehensive entry following-up on a lot of topics. This couldn’t be more classic. The picture to the left was taken by the N&O/Charlotte Observer’s Robert Willett after Monday night’s NCAA Championship game and served as the front page for [...]

As a follow-up to some of our comments from our most recent Carousel entry I’m not naming a coach and its not my business, but I’ll stick my two cents in, ok? For me, last time around – Billy Gillispie is a terrific coach – I would have immediately hired either John Pelphrey or Travis Ford last [...]

Friday Update: Billy Gillispie is officially out at UK. Press conference was at 4:30 Fox Florida is reporting that Billy Donovan is going to Kentucky, but Donovan has issued a statement that he is happy at Florida. Fox Florida is out on quite a ledge! They better be sure that they have their story [...]

Note: The comments in this entry are a consolidation of both BJD and Jeff. Thursday Comments * Not very many upsets so far, but those of us who stayed up late last night were rewarded by compelling endings in the VCU/UCLA and Illinois/Western Kentucky games. Clemson also fought back to make things close after 35 minutes [...]

Sit back and get dedicated for a moment. You can’t skim this entry. You can’t loaf through this one. This is one of those to which your mind must be committed to absorbing and investing the time to read the links and the text. In the early part of this decade our blog followed some up-and-coming [...]

Wednesday, January 16, 2008
Pack Pride’s morning webrun this morning contains that reads “Webrun: Pack Players have Quit” The highlighted quote of the entry originates from 99.9’s Dan Mason’s tell-it-like-it-is blog entry: I never thought I’d be writing this. I figured there was no way Sidney Lowe would allow his team to go to Clemson and put up a [...]

Friday, December 1, 2006
We’ve all seen (as VaWolf82 summarized) numerous examples of Lee Fowler making thoughtless and insulting statements about the people who, in the aggregate, pay his salary. Fans unhappy with the 8-38 Periclean Age of Herb Sendek, for instance, were a “lunatic fringe” consisting of “50 people on the Internet.” Just yesterday, when asked to name the [...]

Tuesday, November 14, 2006
It is all over the internet…so, it would be pretty stupid of us to just choose to ignore it. You probably know by now that Herb Sendek’s Arizona State Sun Devils lost AT HOME in their first game of the year against Northern Arizona last night. NAU had previously lost by 34 points [...]

The broken record continues at State… …that is Arizona State now! Last week Sports Illustrated ran an (old favorite) article titled “Playing Catch-up” that focused on Herb Sendek’s current situation at Arizona State. (Two Notes: (1) We know about the “Dare to Believe” video and we promise that we will have more on it in the future. [...]

Monday, April 17, 2006
Ten years ago today, the news broke that after an exhaustive search, Todd Turner and NC State was hiring Herb Sendek of Miami of Ohio to lead the Wolfpack’s basketball program. Turner didn’t last much longer. Too many people act like “nobody ever warmed up to Sendek”. Ken Tysiac of the Charlotte Observer made [...]

Wednesday, April 5, 2006
Yes, it is a little bit late for a post-mortem. However, I was relieved to be done with the constant Sendek talk, and all of us at SFN have been focused on the future, primarily the search for Sendek’s replacement. That said, I think a brief discussion (during this “no new news” lull in the [...]

Monday, March 20, 2006
Coach K came out swinging today in support of Herb Sendek. “He’s really one of the terrific coaches in our country,” Krzyzewski said. “He’s a proven winner. It makes me appreciate what we have at Duke with the support we’ve had.” “There are still some (Iron Dukes) I would never talk to,” Krzyzewski said. ” … [...]

Just a hunch, but could this possibly shape up to be our day? If not, we still must take time to thank the Patriots of George Mason, who made sure the day won’t be a total loss. Imagine that – a Sweet Sixteen matchup of George Mason vs. Wichita State. And they [...]
