The NCAA won’t go to Las Vegas… Why???

Categories:

by James Cunningham

As I followed along as Mark Emmert’s news conference this evening from the Final Four, I noticed a what seems to be a throw away topic. Emmert stated that Las Vegas “will not be eligible for this round.” This got me to thinking. Why does the president of the NCAA believe that Las Vegas will …

NC State hires Kevin Keatts and we approve.

Categories:

by James Cunningham

I will admit it, I LOVE the Kevin Keatts hire at NC State. As I went through Twitter, the sense I got was disappointment. Now, I am not sure if the disappointment that I felt was due to the news that had broken earlier in the day that Sean Miller, Archie Miller’s brother, was advising …

As we sit here on the eve of the First Four, games in Dayton we can look back on the college basketball regular season. We have heard, and I believe, that this years ACC basketball conference was the best basketball conference ever. There were arguments made that it was the best basketball conference EVER! That …

The ACC tournament should rotate but not to where Boeheim said to

Categories:

by James Cunningham

So, here we are again. Listening to Jim Boeheim complain again and again about how the ACC needs to give up on it’s roots and only play the ACC tournament in BIG media markets (and then getting absolutely crushed by the City of Greensboro’s twitter account). .@AdamZagoria @ACCSports We kindly disagree. But I guess you …

The Business of the NCAA Tournament

Categories:

by James Cunningham

To me, this is the best time of year. All of those small schools punching their tickets to the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. We see student bodies rush the court upon winning their Conference Tournaments excited to make the Big Dance! We know that for the most part, a lot of these small conference winners …

NC State Fan base isn’t wrong the media is

College Basketball

by James Cunningham

It has been 2 days since Mark Gottfried was fired by NC State. If you only follow the national basketball writers, you would think that Mark Gottfried was the greatest coach NC State has ever had. Jay Bilas used his twitter account to applaud Gottfried for making 4 NCAA tournament fields, 2 NCAA tournament wins, …

Who are coaching candidates that NC State basketball should look at?

Categories:

by James Cunningham

Well, as everyone has seen Mark Armstrong’s report about the future of Mark Gottfried and the NC State basketball program. Now, it should surprise no one that the school is denying the report of the firing. But, as we all know, that’s what schools do, they deny until the season is over then make the …

NC State basketball…. How did we get here?

Categories:

by James Cunningham

As the Wolfpack fan base licks it’s wounds after another blow out loss, this time by 30 at Wake Forest, we are left to wonder how did we get here. When you look at the roster, you see talent up and down that bench. They have a Top 5 pick at point guard who is …

by James Cunningham

Hello ACC fans, I know this is a sports blog and has nothing to do with politics. However, @Hokiesmash_ASD wrote a very interesting blog post this afternoon where he felt that the ACC headquarters was going to move out of North Carolina due to HB 2. Matthew, correctly argues that the NCAA has pulled numerous …

NC State’s so called AD “problem” shouldn’t be one.

Categories:

by James Cunningham

I am an NC State fan. I will not hide it, so I understand that my views are colored through this fact. In my fandom I have made a lot of comments in frustration. I have called for the head of the football coach, probably to soon, and I have thrown my hands up in …

NC State…. What happened against Louisville????

Categories:

by James Cunningham

As I sit here trying to digest another blow out loss, this time by 25 to Louisville, I am at a loss for words. The season started with such hope and aspirations for year 5 of the Mark Gottfried era. NC State had a consensus Top 5 NBA lottery pick in Dennis Smith coming in. …

Remembering Brent Musburger as he calls it a career.

Categories:

Uncategorized

by James Cunningham

So, today is the day that ESPN has announced that Brent Musburger will no longer be calling games for the company. I must say, this is a blow to me. We all have a few announcers that paved the way for sports to come into our lives. Those announcers for me were Brent Musburger, Keith …
