Will the ACC have a playoff representative this 2018 football season?

Categories:

by James Cunningham

With the All Sports Discussion podcast kicking off their previews of all of the ACC schools, it got me thinking, will the ACC have a representative in the College Football Playoff this season? When you look at that question, you have to say “of course they will!” Clemson, Miami, VT all have a shot coming …

NC State’s Tariq Wilson ( @Iamtariqwilson ) is making me follow college wrestling

Categories:

Other Sports

by James Cunningham

For the record I never really followed college wrestling. I wrestled one year in high school and found that it wasn’t for me. It is hard work, very physical, and you have to have discipline. I have to say, as a high school kid, I didn’t have the mental make up to compete. I didn’t …

NC State’s basketball season was a success

Categories:

by James Cunningham

If I told you at the beginning of the season I told the sane NC State fan that NC State was going to make the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, the fan would be ecstatic. If I told that same fan that Omer Yurtseven would make the All-ACC 3rd team and average 13 points and 7 …

What a difference a year makes for NC State basketball.

Categories:

by James Cunningham

One year ago Mark Gottfried was coaching out the season after leading the NC State Wolfpack to a second consecutive losing season. Not only was it a losing season, it was an embarrassing season, they lost by 51 at North Carolina and went 4-14 in the ACC. But, to hear the national media talk, Tim …

Pitt did it again. Pitt lost to Duke 81-54. The Panthers are 0-6 in ACC, and all of those loses have come by double digits. Yes, you read that right, The Pitt Panthers have lost all of their ACC games by double digits. The basketball program has fallen on hard times. It started under Jamie …

Categories:

by James Cunningham

Well we are 2 days from NC State defeating Duke at PNC arena and the fan base is still in the afterglow, and we should be. This is a huge win for Kevin Keatts and shows what this team is capable of. NC State beat Duke without Markell Johnson (who’s pre-trial assault hearing was continued …

Was this past season a success for NC State?

Categories:

by James Cunningham

When you look at this past football season, how can you even think that a 9 win season, especially since there have only been 9 previous 9 win seasons in NC State history would be any but a success? But they way the season unfolded, you can see how disappointment of what could have been …

Dave Doeren RETURNS!!!!

by James Cunningham

Well the last 24 hours in Raleigh have been a roller coaster to say the least. Tennessee came after Dave Doeren for it’s head coach opening. This caused a lot of unrest with the NC State fan base. The problems were somewhat of NC State’s own making. There were some issues with the contract negotiation …

Despite loss to Wake Forest, NC State is on the right path

by James Cunningham

Well, I am going to admit this upfront, last night’s NC State loss at Wake Forest hurt. It hurt a lot actually. NC State was on the verge of a historic season. I believed that this team was going to win 9 games in the regular season and go for a 10th win in a …

Categories:

by James Cunningham

Over this past week, I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about this weeks game against Notre Dame being a PROGRAM DEFINING game. Can we stop with this!!!! STOP IT!!! One game does not define a program. Did the NC State game versus #4 Florida State in 2012 define the program? Was the 2003 Gator …
