An interesting table of information available in this link. The information just adds to anyone who wants another reason to criticize Chuck Amato or John Bunting. But, why bother at this point? Q: The most impressive coaching jobs of the last five years in the ACC? A: Tom O’Brien and Chan Gailey. Not even close.

K-Rob Ranks High on Bust List
For everything that Torry Holt represented about hard work, discipline, and keeping one’s head on straight; Koren Robinson (unfortunately) seemed to represent the opposite. Robinson was easily one of the best players to don a uniform for Chuck Amato at NC State. Unfortunately for K-Rob, his strong play in Raleigh did not translate to the […]
NYJ & NCS
Good news, bad news for NC State and the New York Jets. Former Wolfpack safety Andre Maddox was released from the Jets practice squad this week.

Torry = Anti-TO
No surprise. But very nice press. I pride myself on my consistency,” Holt said. “It’s the same every year. Some guys it’s hot, warm, and then cold. Or it’s hot, lukewarm, cold and then hot again. For me, I like it to be about consistency. The other way makes no sense to me.” The way […]
Reggie Bush Obviously A Bust
Just thought that we would proclaim to the world that Reggie Bush is ‘obviously’ going to be a bust based on his horrible performance vs the Cowboys last night. The guy did nothing in the meaningless preseason game. So, since Mario Williams ‘proved’ that he shouldn’t have been chosen by the Texans in the frst […]
