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, […]
TBJ Poll: NC State Contributes Most to Economy
Link to article The Triangle Business Journal conducted a non-scientific poll from Dec. 28 through Jan. 3 to help measure the economic impact had on the Triangle by some of our surrounding universities.

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 […]
A Look Back at the Bubble
Hopefully, NC State fans will view the bubble discussions for the NCAA tournament selection this year with mild curiosity instead of intense emotional interest. However, I thought it might be interesting to see what kind of trends could be detected from selections made in the recent past. According to any number of articles that are […]
NFL Viewing Alert – Rivers is Playing
Drew Brees injured his thumb, and is not expected to return. Philip Rivers will finish the game for the Chargers, now showing on CBS. I’m still rooting for my Broncos to pitch the shutout, though.
Brief Bowl Recap
I am certain we’ll get a more in depth, “on the ground” recap from Jeff and/or other SFN bloggers shortly. But here is the thumbnail review from someone who just watched on TV (and based on the stadium shots ESPN showed, there were quite a few people who chose the same route that I did). […]
NEZ & GW Pictures
An unexpected opportunity to see the GW game got me into Raleigh on Friday afternoon. I stopped by the Murphy Center to see the progress on the NEZ and found that the Field House is gone and all that is left is a hole. Construction projects rarely finish on the original schedule, but I can […]
A Job Well Done
Other than the snarled traffic on Edwards Mill Road, it was a very good night at the RBC Center. It’s been a very long time since a Wolfpack revenue sports team earned a standing ovation from the home crowd – but that particular drought ended tonight. Herb Sendek’s cool, composed squad disposed of a solid […]
