Reynolds Coliseum is the perfect venue for the NIT

Categories:

by James Cunningham

NC State has been forced to play their NIT games at Reynolds Coliseum due to the Carolina Hurricane’s games being in conflict. To be honest, Reynolds is the perfect place for NC State to be playing these games. I know many people haven’t been watching these games, because well, it is the NIT and really …

We all read the news that Wake Forest’s AD Ron Wellman is set to leave the job on May 1. With that announcement, Wake Forest announced that Wellman’s replacement was going to be Wake Forest grad John Currie. Twitter, as it is want to do, lost it’s collective mind and denounced the hire.

What Happened to Wake Forest Basketball?

Categories:

by James Cunningham

It wasn’t all that long ago that Wake Forest was a national brand when it came to college basketball. It had produced two of the all-time greats in Tim Duncan and Chris Paul had an innovative offensive coach in Skip Prosser. Then the unimaginable happened in 2007, Skip collapsed and passed away. Ever since that …

The hire has been lauded around the country, and for the first time NC State doesn’t seem to be absorbing shots …

This 3 Game Home Stand is going to be very important for NC State

Categories:

by James Cunningham

This is a big week for NC State basketball. They have 3 straight home games against Clemson, Virginia, and Virginia Tech. NC State needs to go 2-1 in this stretch to show that they are a Top 25 program. I believe that this is achievable. NC State is not the same team without Markell Johnson. …

NC State basketball is much different this year than previous seasons

Categories:

by James Cunningham

NC State gritted out a win against Pitt yesterday. Now, that shouldn’t sound like a big deal, except when you look at that kind of win in the context of NC State’s last 5-8 years of basketball. Those 8 or so years have been marred by a team that is inconsistent at best, and down …

How about a College Football Playoff with 10 conference champs and 6 wildcards?

Categories:

by James Cunningham

We are a day away from the Semifinal games of the college football playoff. It is the end of the college football season. A very depressing day in my household. We have been seeing for the last few weeks that some people believe that the College Football Playoff is going to be expanded. When ESPN …

@JamesIV1978 doesn’t agree with how Virginia Tech handled East Carolina series situation.

Categories:

by James Cunningham

Now, this post is not going to win me any admirers or fans, including one of the people who are responsible for this blog. However, I do feel the need to take Virginia Tech to task. Now, we all know that East Carolina University had cancelled the football game scheduled for September 15. The reason …

The bowl system is dying and the players are killing it.

College Football

by James Cunningham

Now that the college football season has come to an end and we are ramping up for the Bowl season we are seeing something great happen. In my opinion, the Bowl system has held back the sport from becoming great. The bowls and their nonprofit committees are stuck in the past. If you don’t believe …

Who should Louisville look at in their Coaching Search?

Categories:

by James Cunningham

Well, it has been a couple of weeks since U of L fired Bobby Petrino and in theory began their coaching search. Now, I know who the next coach of Louisville is going to be. Those who know, understand that Jeff Brohm is Louisville. He played there, his brother played there, his father played there. …

What Happened to NC State against Wake Forest????

Categories:

Uncategorized

by James Cunningham

Well, it’s been a few days since the NC State game versus Wake Forest, and I will say this, the disappointment still lingers. That game was nothing short of a disaster, for NC State. They had everything on the line and came up short in every possible way. The 27-23 score was possibly the most …

NC State football is on the verge of something historic

Categories:

Uncategorized

by James Cunningham

Well, it’s been a week since the game in Death Valley. NC State played, the worst game I’ve seen them play in 2 years. I would argue that this is the worst performance in the Dave Doeren era at NC State. It is worse then that initial 3-9 Doeren team. Finley played the worst game …

Categories:

by James Cunningham

Let me say this again, so there is no confusion and let me say it emphatically. THIS YEAR’S NC STATE DEFENSE IS BETTER THEN LAST YEAR’S. Now there are those out there that will tell me I’m wrong and that I have no idea what I’m talking about. And those people are what I like …
