As we all know, NC State is 1-4 in ACC play. If one is an optimist, one sees a slight chance to secure an NIT bid if NC State drastically improves its performance. But if not now, when? In State’s next 5 ACC games, we play UNC twice and Wake once. That’s alot of guaranteed […]
Four Tiers in ACC Hoops
After today’s action, all ACC teams have played 5 or 6 league games. It seems to me that some symmetry is starting to emerge. You can categorize these teams in the following groups of three: Tier I (Excellent) – Duke, UNC, Wake Forest. All of these teams are legitimate Final Four contenders. Once the polls […]
Welcome to the Super Bowl, Adrian Wilson (& Steve Keim)
After an epic back-and-forth NFC title game (with a controversial finish – fairly blatant PI not called on Eagles’ 4th down attempt), Adrian Wilson‘s Arizona Cardinals are headed to the Super Bowl. Wilson is the first man interviewed after the game, and hopefully one of our technically proficient bloggers can embed video of the touching […]
Caulton Tudor – A Fair Summary of What Yesterday’s Win Means
I don’t know what’s going on with ol’ Caulton Tudor, but he’s made sense lately. Really, you should read the whole article, if you haven’t already. Here’s some excerpts and gut-level analysis: The long-suffering Wolfpack entered Saturday’s game in a delicate way. There was no profound upside to beating a Tech team that now stands […]
Georgia Tech vs. NC State – The Atrocities Continue
Earlier this week during Senate confirmation hearings, prospective U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder declared that “Waterboarding is torture.” Pretty much every major news source picked up on this statement. Less reported were his follow up comments that drew gasps of shock from the gallery: “And NC State and Georgia Tech play each other this Saturday…on […]
Updated “State of the Program” Thoughts
OK, dark side – you win. Last night’s disastrous effort pushed me over the edge. Taking a cue from Sidney Lowe’s motivational techniques and substitution patterns, I will not order my thoughts logically and just throw crap against the wall to see what sticks: – Sidney Lowe has clearly lost this team, for the second […]
It’s Official – Jagodzinski Out at BC
Here’s your link. I suppose once DeFilippo went public with his insane threat, he kind of had to go through with it. For the idiots in BC’s fanbase, it is probably a proud chest-thumping moment. For the rational folks, thoughts of “who would work this Al Davis-like guy?” are in the forefront. We previously discussed […]
Kay Yow to Miss Remainder of Season
Sad, but not unexpected, news – Kay Yow is finished coaching for the season. Anyone who has lost someone they loved to a long battle with cancer (like me) has an especially heavy heart today. She has beaten the odds before, and we hope and pray that she does so again. Caulton Tudor has some […]
BJD’s Revised and Extended 1/4/09 Basketball Program Thoughts
After yesterday’s predictable, yet still somehow heartbreaking loss to Florida, all that remains is ACC play (barring a shocking loss to NC Central, which is currently 0-16 and 347th out of 347 teams in the Sagarin ratings). Here is a run down of what we do and don’t know: 1) NC State will compete with, […]
Semi-Live Bowl Blogging from Blowing Rock
I am in a mountain condo on my blackberry, so don’t expect updates every 5 minutes or graphics of any kind. But I am ready and willing to sort of live blog today, for the last time in 2008. I feel really good about today’s game, which I fear means impending doom. 3:04 – Eugene […]
