Note: This is about, oh, 3 weeks late- but it is still relevant I suppose as a “getting to know you†for those not as attached to baseball as I. In an effort to expand coverage a bit here at Statefansnation I have volunteered to try my hand at providing some baseball commentary (as has […]

State Guys to Watch for in MLB in 2008
Yeah, I was in the show…You know, you never handle your luggage in the show, someone else carries your bags. It was great. You hit white balls for batting practice, the ballparks are like cathedrals, the hotels all have room service, and the women all have long legs and brains. (Crash Davis in “Bull Durham”) […]

Swingggggg And A Miss!
– Might Casey strikes out. – Tiger hits one into the rough. – Michael Jordan heaves a brick. – “Wide Right†defines one of the key rivalries of the 90’s. AND……. . . . . . . . . . . – Frank Deford pens a pile of garbage. Even though Deford is one of […]

RIP Tab Thacker
N&O Story GoPack’s Tim Peeler Remembers Tab Thacker A mountain of a man, the 1984 NCAA heavyweight champion stood 6-5 and weighed roughly 450 pounds. I say “roughly†because there were only a couple of places where Thacker could weigh-in, and he usually just waited until the NCAA wrestling championships every year to step on […]
Talk About Timing! Right on Cue
“They’ say that timing is everything and we had a couple of items that couldn’t have been more appropriately timed. (1) First comes the Greensboro News & Record trumpeting a song that you have heard ad nauseum this year. On the day after someone actually took the time to crunch the numbers and generate some […]
3-23 (0-16) aka “Progress” redux
Ineptitude reaches a deeper abyss. Actually, we have won 1 more game this year than last, but who is counting (certainly not coach Jed)? 3-23 (0-16) That would be the record for this year’s women’s Volleyball team. Zero conference wins in 16 attempts. 0-38 in the last two seasons. Another feather in the cap for […]
PP: ‘Pack Soccer, A Commitment to Disaster’
As we piggy-back this entry from just a couple of weeks ago that was written when NC State had ZERO conference wins in fall sports, it is time for our annual mention of just how poorly the NC State soccer programs are being managed (or, just how wonderful the programs are being mis-managed). Just last […]
Will you PLEASE get this message out?!
If you want some ECU, then hopefully you didn’t miss our pre-game/in-game entry or our first postgame entry. We’ll have a little more State-ECU talk during the week since we were busy with work last week and didn’t have a lot leading up to the game. Today’s entry is focused on something much more broad […]
