I don’t know if you are a Wolfpacker who only surfs the internet during the week while at work or if you also have a computer at home to keep you sane on the weekends. But, whatever kind of Wolfpacker you may be…you may want to do some ‘back-surfing’ through the weekend archives of many […]

ESPN Gameday Preview
ESPN’s “Gameday” College Football Preview show aired Saturday. If you didn’t see it, then you didn’t miss too much as it was about what you would expect. A few quick notes: (1) The “tease” at the beginning of the show – that has taken the form of music video in recent years – was set […]
Mr. Smith: “Pack to be Darkhorse”
About a month ago, I got an email from a professional colleague who was forwarding an email from one of his friends who is originally from Texas – also known as football country. Let’s call the author of the original email, “Mr. Smith”. Mr. Smith currently lives in Big 10 country in the Midwest. Each […]
State Strongly Represented in Harris Poll
As if Buddy Green wasn’t enough throwback for one morning…Steve Czaban also made an off-handed reference to former NC State football coach Dick Sheridan when he was criticizing the new Harris Interactive BCS college football poll. I don’t know how much that you know about the Harris Poll, but basically, “it will rank the top […]

Hotseat Talk that is FINALLY accurate
On July 22nd, Tony Barnhart of the Atlanta Journal Constitution decided to throw some words down regarding “ACC Coaches on the Hotseat” to help fill some space in an article that he wrote. The RedandWhitefromState did a good job of calling out Barnhart for the ridiculousness of some of his ‘work’. Today, Fansblog.com logged a […]
Quotes of Note: A Different Shade of Red
On Sunday, July 3rd I changed the pace a little and shared an interesting article from the Houston Chronicle that focused on the University of Houston’s athletic program and the new opportunity provided it through recent conference re-alignments. When I read the article, I found it chocked full of interesting quotes that I thought I […]
Terry Bowden – Civil Rights Activist?
Does anyone other than Terry Bowden really believe that the reason that there are not more black head coaches is because university presidents are giving in to outspoken alumni and donors who don’t want black coaches? If he said this was a problem in the SEC or in the Southeast in general, then I might […]
Recruiting Analyst Bias
In the spirit of trying to stay current on interesting topics in college athletics, we run across The Mess that is Tom Lemming.
Ouch, Mel
As I was blissfully surfing my XM Radio Saturday afternoon, I happened to stumble across ESPN Radio’s ACC preview. I forget the second member of the broadcast tandem, but the primary analyst was NFL Draft guru Mel Kiper (who must be branching out). Unsurprisingly, they pegged Miami, Florida State, Virginia Tech, and Boston College as […]
