I admit that I’m biased. I liked Terry Holland long before he became the Athletic Director at East Carolina. He was the basketball coach at Virginia when I first discovered college basketball and swore my allegiance to the Cavaliers. Sure, I criticised him plenty, but I always liked and respected him. That respect grew after…

According to the Denver police, former NC State star and current Denver Nuggets rookie Julius Hodge is being investigated for attempted sexual assault. Not good, Jules. Now, normally I’m on the side of the women in these cases. I know that there are instances of women making the stories up, but I also know guys.…

If last Thursday’s stinker against Clemson weren’t offensive enough (and most State fans I know refuse to even talk about it at this point), it turns out the most egregious assault on good taste didn’t even happen on the field. No, I’m not talking about Chuck Amato’s wardrobe or even a murder in the parking…

Now this is a pretty fun list. It’s the kind of thing you discuss with your buddies while doing nothing worthwhile. The list they picked is pretty good except for one GLARING mistake. Terrell Owens? Terrell Owens? You have got to be kidding me. Any man who owns a covertable New Beetle – customized with…

In what is possibly the most bizarre ACC personnel story I can recall, NC State’s Gavin Grant is in danger of being deported. Evidently, his mother brought him from Jamaica without any visas over ten years ago. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency says that he will likely be deported if he does not leave…

You know that “reality” show on ESPN about how Dick Butkus is coaching a high school football team? Well, it’s a sham. Not only is Butkus not really the head coach, but now that ESPN is done filming, Butkus is gone – with two games left on the schedule. The real head coach, Lou Cerro,…

Tonight’s NC State vs Georgia Tech is an important one for both teams. Obviously, for State and coach Chuch Amato, this game is a chance to get back on track and fight off the critics. The loss to UNC two weeks ago has set off daily arguments in the newspapers, on message boards and on…

Sometimes you just have to admit when you’re wrong. Back in May, I wrote an article about Shavlik Randolph’s decision to enter the NBA draft. I might have made a few jokes. Well, it turns out that joke might be on me. The 76ers are in Durham for training camp and general manager Billy King…

Remember Chad Johnson’s little river dance celebration a couple Sunday’s ago against the Bears? Well, Deadspin has discovered that it might not have been just a harmless little celebration. It may have actually been evil genius. It seems that Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher is involved in a paternity suit. The women who sued him…

I know I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again. The ACC BasketBlog does a nice job of collecting ACC football links. They have a particularly good batch today. As they so modestly put it, “The BEST ACC Football Coverage!” Whether or not that’s true, they are damn handy, especially because I’ve been too…
