Where's the rest of the outrage? IF they reranked the group as a set of twelve rather than two sets of six, where would we fall then in a meaningless preseason ranking?
My ire was really up that the Herald Bung article made only one mention of State in the article while repeatedly quoting Davis and Cutliffe. And that mention was "rounding out the division. . . . . . NC State."
I'm burning some extra incense for the health of our running back posse and hopes that the O-line can hold open enough gaps to spring them free. I am not confident about our Qback quandry. Hopefully we'll put up fewer than 4 INT/game this go 'round. . .

War Fedor!
I'm not sure there's anyone on the planet that can argue that Fedor isn't the baddest dude in MMA right now. He just dismantled Tim Sylvia in about 30 seconds.

The Open!
Don't want to spoil it for those of you recording it, but the leaderboard for this tourney is just fantastic. For a non Tiger event, ABC(?) has got to be quite happy with the way things look like they're going to turn out this weekend.

MMA more dangerous than boxing?
Diaz in Coma after collapsing in his corner before the 11th round.
This was on Wednesday night fights last night. Anyone that says MMA is more dangerous than boxing may need to rethink that.
A potential 36 minutes of fighting compared to 15 minutes (25 for title bouts). Yes, in MMA there is more than just throwing punches, but no one is going to die from a triangle or rear naked choke.
I've said this before, but the biggest difference between MMA and boxing is that no one in MMA gets hit in the head hundreds of times during the course of the match, and more importantly no one in MMA gets the opportunity to take a 10 count then get back up numerous times and continue to take punishment (this obviously results in no one getting critically injured in MMA).

Oh Quinton...
Not in the OC!

Funniest comment that I've seen thus far (on a decidedly unfunny situation) is that it's a good thing the police got him on the ground since Forrest showed that he's helpless there (oh, that's right, none of you fuckers have any idea what that joke means since nobody showed up to watch the fight; fuckers).
Update
Rampage arrested again

I always forget how the momentum constantly shifts and how dramatic tennis is.
In the Wimbledon final Nadal went up 2 sets, then Federer comes back and wins the next two sets. Now in the 5th its 2-2 Deuce, and in Rain delay.

GROUP C PERMUTATIONS -- How to F the French
The Netherlands have won Group C and will play the Group D runners-up in the quarter-finals.
Romania will qualify for the quarter-finals if they beat the Netherlands, eliminating France and Italy.
If Romania fail to beat the Netherlands, the winner of France v Italy will go through.
If France and Italy draw, a point against the Netherlands would be enough to send Romania through. France must win to have any chance of qualifying.
If France and Italy share a score draw (1-1, 2-2, 3-3 etc), Italy will go through if Romania lose (by any score). In this scenario, Italy, Romania and France will be level on two points each but Italy would have scored more goals in games between the 3 teams.
Romania will finish bottom of the group if they lose and France and Italy draw 2-2, 3-3 or 4-4. France will finish bottom if they draw 1-1 unless Romania lose 3-0 or by a four-goal margin.
If France and Italy draw 0-0, Romania can lose by one goal, two goals or by a three-goal margin other than 3-0 but still qualify. In this scenario, Italy and Romania would have identical head-to-head records, but Romania would have better goal difference in ALL group matches or, in the case of the three-goal defeats, goals scored. France would finish bottom, having scored fewer goals head-to-head v Italy and Romania.
If Romania lose 3-0 to the Dutch, Italy would qualify with a 0-0 draw against France because of their superior coefficient points. France would finish bottom as they would have scored fewer goals head-to-head v Italy and Romania.
If Romania lose by four goals or more and the other game ends 0-0, Italy would proceed with a better overall goal difference than Romania. France would finish bottom as they would have scored fewer goals head-to-head v Italy and Romania.
If France and Italy draw AND Romania avoid defeat, then Romania go through.

College World Series, here they come! NCSU #1 Seed in Raleigh!
The question is are we going to the sub regional? It includes Charlotte, SoCar, and JMU

UF alas is only a number #2 seed and is in the same sub regional as FSU. Oh well, maybe next year.
Oh and BTW, I am also rooting for LBSU, because their baseball team's mascots are the Dirtbags! Awesome!

Antonio Rodrigo "Minotauro" Nogueira (Big Nog)
Noted as having quite possibly the best chin in all of MMA, Big Nog, is one of the toughest Heavyweights to ever put on a pair of 4 ounce gloves. He has taken a pounding from the all time Heavyweight great Fedor Emelianenko on three different occasions and survived to hear the judge's decision twice. (One encounter was stopped due to accidental cut).
Prior to his meetings with Fedor, Nogueira battled Bob Sapp during Pride Shockwave in 2002. If Nogueria's chin was ever a question mark, all was answered on August 22, 2002. 365 lbs muscle-bound Sapp picked Nog up and slammed him onto his head, leaving onlookers wondering if he would even get up. Nogueira's submission of Sapp just minutes later will live on in MMA infamy forever.

Day One o' the Draft!
Good times.
The wife, the Admir0l, the Harbinger of Haggis, and the Peanut all enjoyed a day filled with fried chicken, okra, and the scent of hope from all 32 teams in the NFL.
We watched as my Pats traded down to pick up some random LB; we also watched as Berman trotted out the same tired jokes as last year, and the year before that, and the year before that; we also got to see quite the ensemble from Keyshawn, which entailed a pink tie, a checked shirt, and I think, a pin-striped suit jacket (I can only hope he had on plaid pants).

tom caught babbling!
So I go to the office today and I see this guy in a Raider's t-shirt, toting a Raiders Jersey and I joke about Al Davis and mention how the Raiders are my team, Marcus Alan and all that.
I see the Jersey and realize I'm talking to the Alvis Whitthead. Yep. Played Peach Bowl with Terry Harvey etc. . .
Dude only about 5'10" but finished 7th in Olympic Trials. . .
Freaking amazing. I was stumbling over words.
Turns out our long time track Coach was at Orange High in 93, when Whitthead started running. . .
He said he's got a workout in Buffalo after the draft. He's not too positive on it as his years in the league aren't a healthy thing for a back up in the cap. . .
I love the small world I live in. . .

So, Davidson...
They were actually an amazingly good team. In fact, I'm not quite sure how NC State beat them.
They played three Final Four teams - Kansas, UNC, and UCLA - and lost by an average five points.
I think they lose their starting point guard and that Stephen Curry will side into the point next year, so I don't expect a repeat of this in '08. But jeebus, they really are good.

Don't know how many of you are watching the NBA
but my god! The fact that only 1 team has clinched a playoff spot, and they don't know whether they'll be 1st or 6th is fantastic! Also, the up and down style of most of the teams (Spurs excepted) makes for some great hoops. I, personally, will be recording most of the games down the stretch, and all of the playoff games this season. On a side note, thank goodness that TNT has the Western Conference Finals, it means more Chuck and Kenny (and Ernie, good to see that he's gotten better from his lymphoma).

but since the Damars do have 'some' experience with conspiracies, I'm quite certain that rigging the Ironic Title basketball pool wasn't very difficult.
The Wolf at least had enough love of all that is Good and Just is this world, torn assunder by war and apathy, to pick the Rock Chalk Jay Hawks to win it all.
The G.P. , on the other hand, appears to have soaked himself in the blood of clubbed baby seals and picked the Heels.

Bye Bye JJ
So I was talking with my sources in athletics and it's doubtful JJ will return for another year. Apparently bigs are hard to keep in college because the NBA want them coached for the NBA at the earliest age possible. Unlike, say a guard, that they want to have college experience. That and his mom is poor.

The Onion at its best!
TEMPE, AZ—Claiming he was initially excited at the prospect of playing for a legitimate championship contender, new Phoenix Suns center Shaquille O'Neal admitted Monday that, upon reading about the phenomenon of massive stellar explosions popularly known as supernovas, he is now terrified of the entire organization.
"I have emerged from my astronomical studies a much more educated man, a learned man, and yes—a frightened man. I am now a sage of the supernova," O'Neal said during a combination press conference and PowerPoint presentation at an Arizona State University lecture hall. "If I would have known being a Sun meant being a part of a system where gravity could collapse, causing my radiant celestial body to explode in an event 10 times brighter than an ordinary Phoenix Sun—or worse, dematerialize into a neutron star or possibly a black hole—I would have never agreed to the trade."

So I was at least 1/2 correct.
We waited until the 2nd half to roll over
I think the news that Miami beat Duke just puts a nice touch on this season.
Go pack!
NIT?

Since no one will step up to the plate...
I will admit it: We stink.
Not like in a UVa, Miami kind of truly horrible-ness.
More of the soul crushing, just barely good enough to keep your hopes up, yet always destined to disappoint.

I'll Put Odds on State Making it Over UF at this Point
Hey Gators! Way to lose to the #200 RPI team in the country who had a total of one conference win and just fired their coach. Freshmen or not, you don't lose to an 8-14 team.
Bye Bye Big Dance boys!
On the bright side maybe I'll see what the outdoors look like in late March.

If Clemson & UVa can BOTH kick UNC in the teeth

That fuzzy feeling was most likely herpes
Dont tell the fiancee' about our weekend in Haiti.
BTW, almost as a replay from several years ago, Pack vs. Texas in the NCAA maybe Sweet 16, I naively thought "There is no way in Hell they can keep shooting this hot!"
Wrong.

I'm Getting that Fuzzy Feeling
It happens halfway through every basketball/football season in the ACC. I get that warm, fuzzy feeling becase, evne though we're 6th in the ACC, we control our own destiny in a series of winnable games and would end up 2nd in the ACC. Who is ahead of us? Duke(8-0), UNC (6-3), Maryland (5-3), Clemson (4-3), and Virginia Tech (5-4). Who are our next four games against? Maryland, BC, Clemson, and UNC. If we win them all and UNC loses one more, then we're second in the ACC at 8-4.
That warm, fuzzy feeeling inevitably turns to disgust when we're 7-9 and I wonder how we got there.
Then the warm, fuzzy feeling returns when we're in the ACC finals. Then we lose to Duke or UNC and play in the NIT.

What. The. Fuck.
Shaq for Shawn Marion and a bag of Baked Lays? Shaq's still in the league? He can't run, can he? The Suns still run, don't they? What kind of fucking doofus decides this is the trade that's going to get you to the Finals? Goddamnit.

Who the hell gets fired...
For being drunk and making an ass out of themselves at a roast???
I mean, come on! Who amongst us hasn't made an absolute fool of themselves, swilling vodka out of a bottle, mumbling along and cursing like a sailor ?
Shit, I probably did that last night.

HFS, its just annoying watching NCSU men's basketball.

Bring in Bill off the Bench
When Bill Cowher says you're a hinderance, its time to sit down.
BTW - Nice Clock Management, I didn't know knee injuries impaired that too. I'll make a note of it.

Speaking of Philip
I think that KSK pretty much nails it
The first one is kind of the weakest, but the one that takes place during the Indy game is pure gold (as is the one in the NFL network cafe).

Good Lord am I Rooting for the Giants?
All three other teams make me ill.
Patriots - For obvious reasons.
Chargers - Because they are all mouthy dicks, and I'm sorry I really dislike P-Diddy now. I hope he plays this week and someone knocks him flat out.
Packers - I don't think I could deal the rest of my life hearing how fucking great Brett Favre is. It's like the John Elway thing. When elway was great he never won. When he turned pathetic, he all of a sudden won a Super Bowl because he had a 2000 yard rusher and a defense. And yes Dan Marino is god.

I thought of only posting this on our super secret NCSU blog, but..
Rivers is starting to embarrass me a little with his 'antics'. From the screaming at Cutler after the Broncos game to the smack talking the yahoos in Indy's dome yesterday; let it go Phil, let it go! The Bolts won both games, no need to talk! Just point to the scoreboard and the clock and let it go; I know he went to a state school and probably can't help himself, but dammit he's ours and I expect a little more from him.
And on a lighter note, tOSU's new logo:

KSK Loves Phil

I'm assuming the current line is favoring Pats vs. GB
Although, having at least one more chance to break out the powder blue jersey this late in the season gives me goose bumps.
My heart is tugging for a Bolts vs. Giants Superbowl, mainly to finally settle the score as to who was the better pick.
My brain, small and useless as it is for matters of gambling, is pretty certain we will be seeing Pats vs. Green Bay.
Funny aside - my spell check thinks it should be the "Superb Owl".
Funny aside #2 -- maybe this year the Sidekick & I can make the 'Uar happy by actually coming to blows, each of us girded in our team jerseys.

How's this for a moral victory?
We only lost the second half by 1 point. That's all I've got. Maybe we should change the blog tagline to include the words "support group."

If you had to put $100 on the Super Bowl winner today...
...what would you do with these odds?
Pats 1/6
Cowboys 4/1
Colts 4/1
Packers 8/1
Jags 16/1
Chargers 18/1
Seahawks 20/1
Giants 30/1
For non-gamblers, that's a net $17 for the Pats; $3000 for the Giants.

Put Hickson Talk Away.
David Thompson is still the best. Somehow I think that he would have probably gotten more than four points and got off more than four shots against a 1-18 team. That being said I think he's still great, but he has a long way to go and will be at State for a few years to prove it.

Disband this Blog?
Do we disband this blog or name it something else for sports related items? Dow we even have that much in terms of sports related items to talk about. Maybe 1 post a week at most.
Deee - You enjoy the orange ball game as do I. Since its the season do we rename it something more appropriate. Suggestions anyone?
