Very interesting – here’s the link. They have Duke rated higher than UNC, which makes me wonder how useful the index really is (I’d take UNC’s roster over Duke’s any day, and twice on Sunday). Also, if you look at perfoemance relative to talent, Oliver Purnell should get a huge raise – while Sidney Lowe […]
Deploy the Panic Button (Clemson 70, NC State 54)
Press it, pound it, or beat the ever-loving piss out of it (my choice). But it’s time, my friends. It’s time. UPDATE: Oh, and Ben gets hurt in garbage time. Like I’ve said before – the motto of every NC State fan should be “It can always get worse – and it usually does.”
Live Blogging from the Central Game
The Pack takes the court at 7 tonight against a second consecutive D-1 newbie, the North Carolina Central Eagles. Lowe’s squad continues to search the corners of the earth for an opponent crappy enough to provide a comfortable win. Sagarin has 1-18 NCCU at 329, 14 slots behind the mighty Blue Hose of Prebyterian College. […]
State Rides Hickson to 74-62 win
Larry Hunter‘s return to Raleigh was SIGNIFICANTLY closer than the score indicates. JJ Hickson shot 10 of 11 from the floor en route to scoring 33 points, grabbing 13 rebounds, and blocking 3 shots to lead NC State to a come from behind victory over another directional school in the state of North Carolina. Additionally […]
Survive and Advance- NC State 79, Seton Hall 73
Video Highlights | None of the basketball was particularly artful, and it would be a grave mistake to pronounce that the 2007-08 Wolfpack has turned the corner. However, the season is back on track, after surviving a grueling stretch of 3 games in 6 days (with Christmas in the middle). NC State had to win […]
BJD95’s Primer on “Joint and Several Liability”
I avoid litigation like the plague, but I do remember the basic tort law concept of “joint and several liability.” As always, Wikipedia has a nice rundown. For example, say A, B, and C together scheme an old woman out of $300K. A court will likely find all 3 individuals jointly and severally liable for […]
850 “The Buzz” Highlights Lack of Professionalism From BC’s AD
Click over to their blog for good analysis and comments (well, most are good). Quote from Jackhole DeFilippo: “We’re having fun now,†he said. “We’ve won before, but we had no fun. This is still a game, it’s not life and death. The fun is back in Boston College football. Tom did a wonderful job […]
State vs. State Game Thread/Live Blogging
Live blogging was good mojo for last year’s ACC/Big Ten Challenge game with the Pack as an underdog. So, I’m game to try again. The odds aren’t as long tonight, and hopefully we won’t lose our PG before the 2nd commercial break again. Still, this looks like one of two “firewall” games designed to make […]
Old Spice Championship Game Thread
It hasn’t been pretty, but the Pack is in the finals against Villanova. Semi-live blogging is possible, but not certain. Short preview – Nova likes to shoot the three, State doesn’t. Post your ruminations here. Halftime Thoughts – The best thing I saw the entire half was guys acting happy for their teammates when they […]
Old Spice Classic – Are they all going to be this tough?
NC State 72 Rider 63 Can we say ‘survive and advance’ in the Old Spice Classic and get away with it? * State shot 70% from the free throw line but it didn’t feel like it as the Pack started 15 of 16 and then finished that game by shooting 8 of 17. * At […]
