I hope JB doesn’t mind if I post a separate rant. But after such a great football/basketball combo weekend, I guess things naturally had to get worse. Of course, it happened on a Wednesday. Wednesday has always been a bad luck day for me. Nothing seems to go right, a fact that I took special […]

RPI Never “Meaningless”; State’s Win Fails to Move Needle
NC State’s win over #8 ranked Georgia Tech doesn’t seem to have mathematically done much for the Wolfpack’s quest to get back on the radar of the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee. Heading into Sunday’s agame, State’s RPI was a paltry #115 and Georgia Tech’s was in the Top 15. After the evening, State’s RPI improved […]
Quote of Note: Andrew Brackman
In the January 14, 2005 edition of The Sporting News, “Scouts Views” commented: NC State’s Andrew Brackman is emerging as a standout freshman forward in the ACC.

The Big Four Three
The amount of irony generated in Wetzel’s articles is as priceless as the amount of pain that they represent to Wolfpackers. The lessons for former & current NC State administrators (and many fans) are imbedded throughout both what Wetzel chooses to say, as much as they are in what Wetzel chooses to omit.
Duke 86 NC State 74
= > What a difference a year makes? Watching the Wolfpack implode (again) on Thursday night in our 86-74 loss against Duke reminded me of the exhaltation that last year’s State win over Duke (on Fox’s SundayNight Hoops) provided me. Heck, I even kept that game in my video-tape. It was such a gratifying capstone […]
Dan Wetzel: All Over the Triangle…Kinda
Meanwhile, Wake keeps gaining steam in what is turning into a dream season for the school.
