The Technician called the loss to Clemson was “embarrassing”. The scoreboard folks topped their embarassing cartoons with a “mexi-cam”. I had left the game by that point, but it is troubling, if true.
TBJ: Universities Ramp up Athletic Fundraisers
The TBJ has posted an article on their website about Duke’s goal to increase their endowment. A couple quotes in the article from Bobby Purcell. Coffman’s point is easily illustrated by Duke’s archrival just a few miles down U.S. 15-501. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s athletic scholarship endowment is worth about $117 […]
The USC Lovefest Gets Worse
I never thought it possible that the media could love USC more, but it’s happened. And why? Because they almost, no make that should have, lost another game. Now the “Greatest Offense Everâ€? supposedly scripted a comeback win in the “Greatest Game Everâ€?. I fully expect that if USC does lose a game the headlines […]

Two Perspectives on Thursday’s Crowd
Not to beat a dead horse, but Lee Fowler’s open letter was ridiculous both substantively and procedurally. From a substantive standpoint, it’s pure blather. Mr. “I know basketball, and football too, I guess” points to football facilities that “we might not even have” if not for Chuck Amato. As a friend pointed out, most of […]
Noel Mazzone Revisited
Ole Miss is surprisingly sticking close to SFN’s 6th rated Alabama. Of course, this is due in large part to defense, not Noel Mazzone’s offense. In fact, here is a sequence that NC State fans will find familiar. Down 10-7, the Rebels face 3rd and goal from the Tide 3. Ole Miss proceeds to get […]

Return to Meltdown
One might hope that, despite the somewhat fluky nature of State’s win last Thursday in Atlanta, it was still a win the Pack could build on. Get some positive momentum, come out fired up and deliver a win for the long-suffering home crowd that hadn’t seen a home ACC win since a 2004 OT triumph […]
