After various negative off-the-field ACC Football issues simultaneously hit the national media last week I asked if the ACC was becoming the SEC? Upon further review, I rescind my question. First, take a look at the weekend behavior of the Tennesssee football program after their failed season and the violent spree of an Alabama fan. […]
If I Owned Basketball LTRs…
Here’s a beauty that was in my home e-mail inbox: Dear Wolfpack Fan, THANKSGIVING SPECIAL Lower Level Tickets – $10 each Upper Level Tickets – $5 each NC State Basketball vs. VMI Wednesday night at 7:30pm RBC Center Things Wolfpack Basketball Fans Should Be Thankful For: 1. A 3-0 start to the season 2. A […]
One Weekend, Four Games, Zero Interest
For a weekend that was technically so full of on-field and on-court Wolfpack action, you might notice that there wasn’t much blog (text or comment) activity. Not a very different story on message boards, either. Alas, this is what you get when you play a Sun Belt also-ran in football, and three 200+ RPI teams […]
Boos Rain on Hurricanes in Miami
The crowd at the Orange Bowl started booing their #3 ranked Miami Hurricanes last night in the 3rd quarter of the Canes upset loss to Georgia Tech. The boos were so prominent that the ESPN television crew even made a comment akin to, “Listen to those boos” in the middle of the 4th quarter. Unlike […]
Stetson Observations
Basketball seemed to start well last night for the Wolfpack, but please forgive us if we don’t spend too much time on the weekend’s lineup of Stetson (10-17 & RPI of #255 last year), The Citadel (12-16, #296), and Deleware (11-20, #233). If you are interested, some observations about Friday night can be found by […]
Middle Tennessee State – Does Anyone Care?
Well, here comes the “optional” game from the season ticket package. People are trying (with limited success) to give tickets away for this stinker, the SECOND late-season out of conference cupacke game to grace NC State’s schedule in as many years. Much like the ECU snorefest last year, I will listen half-heartedly to the radio […]
This Week’s Top 25 and TV Schedule
Just before the buzzer, here is this week’s SFN Poll and TV Schedule. Overall this rivalry weekend is a little slow. We have lots of important games and a couple of intriguing side notes (USC/Clemson suspension game/slugfest for instance) but only a couple of important match-ups between good teams. While Penn St./Michigan State, Miami/Ga Tech, […]
This Just In – Wake Reeks
An ACC team just had its first real test, and the Demon Deacons failed badly. Even Dick Vitale couldn’t make their train wreck offense sound good. When you can basically leave 3 of the 5 men on the court unguarded, even a notoriously undisciplined team like Florida can defend you. Of course, it’s VERY early, […]
College Football’s Best Rivalries

Is the ACC Becoming the SEC?
WOW!! It’s a bad day for the ACC. If you were to go to one of my favorite sites on the internet right now, Fansblog.com, you would see the following headlines in exact order: Clemson player arrested for simple assault Clemson Football – 11/17/05 Clemson reserve bandit end Cortney Vincent was arrested last week and […]
