No, I haven’t forgotten about baseball. Hopefully those readers who were interested haven’t as well! Since I have a break, let’s look at where things stand now: the Wolfpack sit 12-10 overall, 3-6 in the ACC following a 2-1 weekend series win over Wake Forest. I said earlier in the season, don’t be dismayed at […]

Pack Baseball Set For 3 With Hofstra
The baseball team is back in action this weekend as Hofstra drops in for a 3 game set. The team sits at 3-2 now after dropping their first two games. Jake Buchanan was solid Wednesday in 3-1 win versus Elon. I know I promised a baseball preview last Sunday- work did not cooperate. My apologies […]
Pack Baseball Season Begins Today
I’m purposely delaying my baseball preview until Sunday to allow the UVa basketball game to get the attention it deserves.

Closing the Book on ’08 Baseball
For some of us, the last memories of ’07-’08 Wolfpack sports is a good one: the great run of the baseball team that ended one win away from a berth in Omaha. Included in this run was a win in the first regional hosted at home for the Wolfpack (and two nice wins over a […]
More Fun With Rankings- ACC Coaches
Here’s something to play with on a Thursday morning in August. Our favorite ESPN ACC blogger is at it again. (I suppose I’m using a “neutral” favorite there– neither a compliment nor in the perjorative.) Since we had so much fun with the stadium rankings, here is a ranking of the ACC coaches. Now, these […]
