Maryland and North Carolina currently sit as the ACC’s only two bowl eligible teams, but a quick look at the conference’s standings before week 10 will show that every team in the conference – except for NC State – has the chance to ultimately control their own destiny. It is a crazy season! The loss […]

Tuesday’s Football Bytes
===> NC State is half way through Tom O’Brien’s second season but the depth and breadth of the of Wolfpack’s inexplicable rash of injuries makes analysis of the program’s progress under Coach O’Brien challenging. Add to the mix that NC State competes against one of the ten toughest schedules in the country (as judged by […]
Football Friday (Updated 3:20pm)
(The following entry was originally logged by BJD and then “piggybacked” with more from Jeff.) * First, I don’t know squat about William & Mary. I assume this is a team that 99% of BCS opponents would beat easily, so we must have at least a 50/50 shot. Know something about the Tribe? Put it […]
Stadium Argument Follow-up
An awful lot of attention was applied to an ESPN blog post about “toughest” football stadiums in the ACC throughout the conference’s footprint this week. SFN led the charge with a pretty comprehensive initial entry that can be seen by clicking here and then was followed-up by a great piece from LRM that received a […]
Tudor’s Take on Next Year’s ACC Basketball
While we all admit that it is ridiculously early to start talking 2008-2008 Basketball…but, this is Tobacco Road and that is what we do! Caulton Tudor has provided his pre-summer prognostication for the entire conference and it can be seen here. The Wolfpack is picked 9th: 9. N.C. STATE (15-16, 4-12) PROJECTED STARTERS: Brandon Costner, […]
Saturday Bytes – Tarheels defeat Wolfpack (sound familiar?) OR State’s/Davidson irony (Updated 2pm)
……crunch….. Carolina’s third ranked baseball team beat the Wolfpack 5-2 yesterday (I thought we had some new authors who were excited about covering baseball on SFN? hello? anyone out there?). The Tar heels are 21-4 overall and 8-2 in the ACC. After a one-hit loss to Marshall, the Wolfpack are tracking just perfectly to an […]
Friday Basketball Bytes
=======> Congratulations to Sean Miller and Xavier! In just 4 years he has already taken Xavier to a place in the NCAA Tournament where his former boss at NC State couldn’t achieve in a decade. It’s kind of hard to blame the strength of Duke and Carolina for our failure to succeed in anything outside […]
Thursday Night Bytes
Some quick basketball comments of interest: * Due to the performance of some of our opponents, NC State has crept to #37 in the RPI having played the 27th toughest schedule in America. You can expect that SOS to only get more difficult at State still has four (of eight) games against teams that look […]
BBall: Last Bytes of the Year; +21 in 20 Minutes
Despite the holidays, we’ve posted a ton of stuff to the site in recent days…so, if you haven’t been visiting a lot then we ask that you don’t overlook some of our entries like the ACC expansion pieces and our comprehensive “BC fans” piece. ===> We obviously followed the Wolfpack’s win over Western Carolina closely. […]
BBall: Saturday Bytes @ the 1 Month & 50 Year Mark
Yes, State plays at ECU tonight. And, no, we do not think that the trip makes any sense. (Neither does Sidney Lowe). But, other than this link to a preview of the game we are not going to spend very much time on ECU today. Some relevant bytes today: * The N&O composed a very […]
