I just realized this is our only match up with the Pack this year.   I really do miss the old ACC where we had round robin games with each other.  However, that is for another day.  This post is to give you a little background on NC State itself, and this years basketball team.
In 1887, [...]

For those who follow the site, you may remember our pre-Clemson post in which we took a look at the world through the eyes of a couple Tiger fans, well since that article got such rave reviews (thanks for the compliment J), I have decided to do it again.  This time however we are moving up [...]

I don’t know what it is anymore.  Maybe I am finally maturing a bit and realize life goes on if Maryland loses.  Maybe I am getting a little bit too used to losing.  On this night, I enjoyed this game, at least for about 36 minutes.  It was intense, it was fun to watch.  The [...]

It is currently half time of the Maryland Duke game and I don’t know what to think.  Part of me is happy that we have obviously come to play tonight.  You can see this team has a certain swagger about it that was missing in Cameron.  The players instead of looking intimidated, are getting chippy.  So [...]

Friedgen has hired Charles Bankins as special teams coach for the Terps.  Bankins was formerly an assistant with Richmond.  He has also coached at Hampton University and with the St. Louis Rams.  He was reportedly referred by the head coaches at JMU and William and Mary.  This hire seems like a great way to get [...]

This is old news now but I just wanted to congratulate Darrius Heyward-Bey on a fabulous workout at this past weekends NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis, Indiana.  He ran a 4.3 40 yard dash which was the fastest time posted by any WR or RB all weekend.  On Sunday, the crawl on ESPN said he [...]

Here we go again.  The Dukies are coming to town.  I am always saying the team, students, alumni, everyone makes too big of a deal out of beating Duke.  Well throw that out the window for once.  This game has major post season implications, and is huge. Win this one, and you can start to realistically [...]

Coming off the first Maryland triple-double in 22 years, the ACC has announced Greivis Vasquez has earned ACC Player of the Week.  I thought about this yesterday while I was watching the replay.  Triple-double had to be a lock for POW, right?  Then I remembered Vasquez’s clunker against Clemson.  That being said, his numbers against [...]

I’m not saying I deserve any credit, but I will say it is awfully suspicious that within a day of me writing my post on Steve Blake he comes out and records 14 assists in the first quarter of Portlands win over the Clippers.  Yeah I know it’s the Los Angeles Clippers so it doesn’t really [...]

Much like the men yesterday, the #9 Lady Terps had the Comcast Center rocking as they took down # 7 Duke.  Actually they are still taking them down.  They are up 76-57 with 1:22 left, to the delight of 16,000+ fans.  As much as it was Greivis Vasquez’s arena yesterday, today it belongs to Kristi [...]
