NFL draft guru Mel Kiper, Jr. (as related by ESPN Radio’s Erik Kuselias) apparently is sold on Mario Williams. In his first mock draft including declared underclassmen, Mel predicts he’ll be snatched up by the Packers with the 5th overall pick. Williams would be the first defensive player selected. Kuselias also likes Williams – let’s […]

The Ultimate Media Conundrum
You know, it’s too bad the New England Patriots and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish can’t play each other. It would be fun to watch the TV foofs’ heads explode trying to decide who to cheer for. I’ve come to expect poor quality, unprofessional work from Phil Simms. But the nonstop Patriot ass-kissing from Jim […]
What to Watch For This Weekend
First off, obviously, is NC State hosting Georgia Tech at noon on Saturday. Records don’t mean everything in this one, as the Bees are perhaps the worst 2-0 ACC team in recent history. Plus, Sendek has owned Paul Hewitt (especially at home), even during some otherwise turbulent times. Expect this one to get ugly early, […]
Vick Dismissed
Quarterback Marcus Vick was dismissed from Virginia Tech’s football team Friday due to “a cumulative effect of legal infractions and unsportsmanlike play,” according to a release from Tech’s athletic department. In addition to being dismissed from the team, Vick, a Newport News Warwick High graduate, has more legal trouble to deal with later this month. […]
Final Poll
Final Poll Here is the StateFansNation 2005 final poll. You’ll note that things didn’t change quite as much as some of the major polls after the bowl games. The logic here is that long layoffs and too much emotion or a total lack thereof by some teams contributes to the outcome of bowl games. This […]
The Vick Saga Continues
If I told you that I was an engineer and you looked at my screen name, it wouldn’t take much to figure out that I work with a bunch of VT grads. The Vick stomp has been a water-cooler topic this week and here are a few of the comments: – Several said that he […]
Bowl Trends & Trivia
Congratulations to Mack Brown and all of the coaches at Texas. They finally amassed enough talent to overcome their coaching deficiencies. More importantly, the events of this week should end the media’s love-fest with USC and the Vick brothers. Does this mean more coverage for Brady Quinn’s sister? Anyway, here are some fun facts to […]
National Title Game
All I can say is – Pete Carroll made the right call going for it on 4th down. His defense was never going to stop Vince Young when he had 4 downs to work with (even a moron like Mack Brown would have to call the QB draw at least 1 time out of 3, […]

Mission Accomplished!
What a great weekend in Wolfpack Athletics!! Both the basketball program and the football program took advantage of their opportunities over the weekend and logged solid wins. Yeah….I think “solid” is the perfect adjective for the wins. On Friday, I called the weekend’s games an “opportunity” for both programs “not to screw up”. Both programs […]
