The Flagship’s finely-tuned PR Machine is back at work after the most recent in a continuing series of incidents deconstructing The Carolina Way into nothing but a giant, hollow lie. The latest incident alleges that hazing by UNC football players resulted in another player’s concussion. Concussions are serious. Ordinarily you’d expect outrage and embarrassment from […]
Kickers are always scoring leaders, and on a list of former State kickers that includes All-American Steve Videtich, All-American and Lou Groza Award winner Marc Primanti and Super Bowl Champion Steven Hauschka (who only played at State one season), Niklas Sade is standing out as one of college football’s premier kickers. Sade has 250 points, […]
WRAL: RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina State opened its second training camp Saturday under Dave Doeren with a quarterback in place this time.

Pat Forde has some general comments about the scheduling in 2014, with several of those comments either specific to or relating to State. SFN has noted recently that the trend shows declining attendance across college football, even in the SEC […]
Agree with Debbie Yow or not (and sometimes SFN doesn’t — just keep in mind that “SFN” is no one person or unified idea), she clearly has a plan. And unlike her incompetent predecessor(s), her plan — which appears right now to be pragmatic — has been transparent, especially in regards to whenever SFN challenges […]
The original Outside the Lines feature on Rashad McCants (ESPN): The Flagship’s response (WRAL): Leaders in the University of North Carolina athletic department closed ranks Friday after the latest attack on their academic integrity. … “With respect to the comments made today, I strongly disagree with what Rashad (McCants) has said,” Williams said in a […]
USA Today has released the list of total revenues and expenses for all (public, or at least those that report) NCAA programs (here). Not surprising, Texas is atop the list, and way ahead of everyone else.
