Mario Williams tied his own school record with four sacks. Marcus Hudson had 2 INT’s including one returned for a TD. Even Marcus Stone looked like a decent quarterback in the second half. Was 6-5 at the start of the season, what we were hoping for? No, but coming off a 2-4 start it was […]
NCS Football
Lee Fowler speaks again
I know this is a surprise but our intrepid AD held another interview. There are some interesting quotes that tell alot about our athletic department. Lee had this to say “Championships are important,” he said, “but I don’t think it’s a negative year if you don’t win the championship, if you’ve had a good year […]
Go Ugly Early
This was the “philosophyâ€? of a guy I knew a long time ago…..Go ugly early. He said it nearly always assured “successâ€? whenever he went to a club. This “approachâ€? was also supposed to keep him from being totally embarrassed by the girl that he had picked up. I suspect that there are a number […]
Bowl Scenarios Becomes Clearer
Yesterday, we did a big analysis outlining some potential bowl scenarios of ACC teams (with, of course, a primary focus on NC State). Today, it seems that some of the events that we expected have come to fruition and the ACC’s bowl picture seems to be lining up pretty clearly. The key variable now becomes […]
ACC (& NCSU) Bowl Talk
UPDATED: 11AM Although NC State is not yet eligible with our 5-5 record, Bowl games are going to be a big topic of discussion during the week. The ‘good’ news is — based on the current composition of the ACC’s bowl picture, I honestly think that a Wolfpack win on Saturday could position the program […]
Tuesday Football Babble
After various negative off-the-field ACC Football issues simultaneously hit the national media last week I asked if the ACC was becoming the SEC? Upon further review, I rescind my question. First, take a look at the weekend behavior of the Tennesssee football program after their failed season and the violent spree of an Alabama fan. […]
One Weekend, Four Games, Zero Interest
For a weekend that was technically so full of on-field and on-court Wolfpack action, you might notice that there wasn’t much blog (text or comment) activity. Not a very different story on message boards, either. Alas, this is what you get when you play a Sun Belt also-ran in football, and three 200+ RPI teams […]
Boos Rain on Hurricanes in Miami
The crowd at the Orange Bowl started booing their #3 ranked Miami Hurricanes last night in the 3rd quarter of the Canes upset loss to Georgia Tech. The boos were so prominent that the ESPN television crew even made a comment akin to, “Listen to those boos” in the middle of the 4th quarter. Unlike […]
Middle Tennessee State – Does Anyone Care?
Well, here comes the “optional” game from the season ticket package. People are trying (with limited success) to give tickets away for this stinker, the SECOND late-season out of conference cupacke game to grace NC State’s schedule in as many years. Much like the ECU snorefest last year, I will listen half-heartedly to the radio […]
