A few weeks ago, we discussed NC State’s Athletics program’s position as #51 in the country and #9 in the ACC. The entry gots lot of talk on PackPride’s Message Boards. As a follow-up, I thought that I’d throw out a random list of events that happened at Georgia Tech in the last Athletics Season. […]
No Gameday in Raleigh for VPI
If you were holding out for an appearance for ESPN’s College Gameday to kick the season off in Raleigh for the Wolfpack’s game with Virginia Tech, you can stop wishing.

Another ACC vs SEC match-up looks to be shaping up in Nashville, Tennessee’s Music City Bowl.

The media reports are in from yesterday’s Triangle Pigskin Preview …and I don’t know who to believe. The Charlotte Observer reported that Chuck Amato and John Bunting (again) took ‘digs’ at each other during yesterday’s Triangle Pigskin Preview.
