    Carolina? A football school?

    Sorry, you had me going. For a minute there I thought you were serious!

    I’ve been thinking for years that State was becoming a football school more and more each year. The basketball fans just don’t want to admit that.

    The statement, “_____ U. is a _____ school” simply means that the school in question cares more about one sport than another. It doesn’t mean that their program is better than another school’s.

    Traditionally, NCSU was a basketball school…but the two decades of mediocrity-and-below have tempered that. Football, thanks to a couple of outstanding coaches and players, has managed to transcend that.
