It was a sweltering Saturday afternoon/night at Carter Finley stadium, and not a very interesting one. For the first 15:07, NC State scored at will, playing all 5 of its tailbacks, each of which looked like Jim Brown against the EKU defense. That may not mean very much, but it was fun to watch. Multiple […]
Lee Corso’s Mood Swing
I composed this entry back during basketball season when this event actually took place, but I just never got around to linking it on the blog. Now that I see a lot more of Lee Corso, I am reminded that I never shared it. If you weren’t familiar with this…you’ve got to take a look. […]
Noon Start for State-Carolina
Television times for the ACC’s September 24th games were announced today and, as expected, Carolina’s visit to Carter-Finley is slated for a noon kickoff on Jefferson-Pilot.
Justice: ‘Win now or tear up the blueprint’
In preparation for the large scale kick-off of the 2005 NFL season, I was reading today’s Houston Chronicle which was obviously focused primarily on the Houston Texans. Chronicle writer, Richard Justice, had a nice piece about it ‘being the time to win’ for the Texans. The article was actually written in a manner where you […]
Byting Saturday (Thanks, TiVo)
I’m working on some stuff around the house today while I have games going on my 2 tuners on TiVo. I thought that I would share some thoughts while the games are on… UNC-CH @ Georgia Tech ==> Crimping Tarheel Style Poor, poor Carolina. Everywhere you look their football program has new hurdles that they […]
Byting Saturday: Clemson 28 Maryland 24
Please note: most of this entry was written as the game was played and therefore will be read in the current tense. Clemson 28 Maryland 24 A nice, solid Atlantic Coast Conference football game televised on ESPN. Outside of Clemson’s first drive, the first 20 minuts of the game weren’t very well played by either […]
Quote: “Duke doesn’t count”
I just had to share this quote from fomer Florida State player and current Houston Texans rookie, Travis Johnson. In “Rookie Johnson eager to begin dominating” in today’s Houston Chronicle, the Texans #1 draft pick says: “My first college start was against Duke, but that doesn’t count,” I don’t know if we even put in […]

Va Tech @ NC State Achieve Highest ESPN2 Ratings
It was announced on the Mike & Mike radio show this morning that Sunday night’s ACC opener between Virginia Tech and NC State achieved the highest college football viewing ratings in the history of ESPN2, also known as the Vick Network. Ironically, one of NC State and East Carolina’s football games in Charlotte in the […]
Tough First Week for Hayes
Matt Hayes of The Sporting News is easily one of my favorite sports writers in the country. Hayes’ perspective of college football is typically amongst the most insightful and knowledgeable in the country. But, Hayes’ forecasting skills seem to leave a quite a bit to be desired. Last weekend, Hayes went a woeful 1-5 with […]
