OK, so the trip to Louisville wasn’t quite as fun as the trip to Durham. Meh…..It happens. Why did it happen this time? You saw it, what do you think? Effort, energy missing in NC State’s latest ‘lifeless’ ACC loss (NewsObserver.com) LOUISVILLE, Ky. There’s never a good time to question your team’s effort. It’s not […]
To be honest, not every team has played nine games, but most (including State) have and that’s close enough for me. This entry will be a little longer than normal while we discuss the things around the ACC that I find interesting and I’ll spend a little more time dissecting State’s schedule and performance than […]
That was fun. Really, really fun. Like seriously, winning is fun. Let’s do it some more. – Dennis Smith, Jr. Dude is sick. Really sad he’s not gonna be around next year. – Still Work To Be Done Yeah, the Duke win was great and all. But we dug ourselves a pretty big hole leading […]
(Photo from News & Observer’s web site) Last night might not turn the season around, but boy does it feel good for now. I was concerned that the team might give up after the WF debacle. But they clearly showed plenty of fight in coming back from a big deficit and then holding Duke off […]
Yep, Big Monday. ESPN says so. Anyone else think there’s a chance ESPN was expecting two teams with a little more lustre by the time this one rolled around? Last time out, the Pack (13-7, 2-5 ACC) fell at home to Wake, completing a 1 for 3 homestand against 3 of the weaker teams in […]
Hey, we won one. And even looked mostly good down the stretch at crunch time while salting it away after coming from behind. Still some defensive breakdowns, too many for my liking if I’m being honest. But that’s to be expected by now. Bottom line….good guys win one, 79-74. Now, let’s make it two in […]
What do I mean by “Here we go again”….? Well, now for only the SECOND time during my time at SFN, I have no idea what to write. Just….wow. Yes….”Facepalm Level” has been unlocked. Next stop…..Bag on Head. – I’m not gonna talk much about the GT game. This is a family site and I […]
(Mandatory Credit: Rob Kinnan-USA TODAY Sports) I think I’ll take a minute to back up and discuss the classifications of “IN”, “BUBBLE”, and “OUT” that I give to each team in the ACC on a weekly basis. Obviously there are no NCAAT bids extended in January or February. So my classification of “IN” is supposed […]
OK, so that wasn’t the best road trip ever. To say the least. For the first time in my handful of years posting, and then later writing, amongst you fine group of folks on this’n here blog….for the first time I am sitting here at a loss as to what to write. So this one […]
Wow. That was ugly, huh? I mean, I expected us to look overmatched in Chapel Hill. But just….WOW. The Pack (12-4, 1-2 ACC) kinda took it on the chin this past weekend. Of course, with the game delay due to the winter storm, one of the themes during the game was “NC State wanted to […]
