Brian Barbour on September 15th, 2006 |  Comments are closed Where: Kenan Stadium, Chapel Hill, NC When: Saturday, September 16th, 7:00 PM TV: ESPNU Records: UNC 0-2, Furman 2-0 This is a must win game. Ned Barnett wrote as much in the News and Observer on Wednesday when he detailed why it was important for UNC and NC State to win on Saturday. The problem [...] Continue reading UNC vs Furman Brian Barbour on September 15th, 2006 | Comments are closed So ESPN has trotted out another one of those marketing ploys where they slap some asinine and useless label on a particular Saturday or week in the football/basketball season. Such classics as “Bracket Busters” Saturday and “Rivalry Week” are burned into our conscience by relentless reference to it on the Worldwide Leader. So now we [...] Continue reading Rejected Ideas for ESPN’s “Separation Saturday” Brian Barbour on September 14th, 2006 | Comments are closed The News and Observer delves into the QB situation providing us some insight into the decision and some rather useless comparisons to the 2001 season. Redshirt freshman Cam Sexton — who completed 9 of 21 passes for a touchdown and two interceptions in his first college game last weekend — will start Saturday against I-AA [...] Continue reading Probing the Sexton Decision Brian Barbour on September 13th, 2006 | Comments are closed Maryland plays on Thursday this week which means if I want credit for picking West Virginia to win I have to post this thing before that game kicks off. At least I am thinking about the important stuff here. Thursday, September 14th Maryland at #5 West Virginia, 7:30 PM, ESPN So Maryland has won two [...] Continue reading ACC Football Week #3: Preview Brian Barbour on September 12th, 2006 | Comments are closed And Tar Heel Fan brings you an exclusive photo revealing John Bunting’s secret methodology for choosing which quarterback will start for UNC. Photo: Tar Heel Blue Edited by: The Gimp ACC Now has this quote from Sports Illustrated’s Peter King, who in the course of his Monday analysis of the NFL weekend took at shot at John Bunting: The stupidity of the former University of North Carolina coaching staff that buried Willie Parker on the depth chart is on display every time he runs the [...] Continue reading Peter King on the UNC Coaching Staff Brian Barbour on September 11th, 2006 | Comments are closed Let’s be clear. I love instant replay. Review ‘em all that’s what I say. Seriously, I think it is a good idea to have the ability to spend five minutes reviewing a call which was decided in seven tenths of a second. Plus, officials make mistakes just like any other human being so having some [...] Continue reading Instant Replay Brian Barbour on September 10th, 2006 | Comments are closed The second week. This is supposedly the week where everyone sees vast improvements in their teams. Here are the bits and pieces leftover from college football this week. The Poll Conspiracy I do not believe in conspiracy theories but does anyone else think it is odd that one of the unwritten rules of college football [...] Continue reading Scraps and Leftovers Brian Barbour on September 10th, 2006 | Comments are closed Very interesting day for the ACC. Clemson went double overtime with BC only to lose. FSU seemed to be toying with Troy before closing them out and Akron took down the Wolfpack in Raleigh. Here is how it all went down. Virginia Tech 35 UNC 10 Check out the full game analysis in the post [...] Continue reading ACC Football Week #2: Review Brian Barbour on September 9th, 2006 | Comments are closed I suppose it could have been worse. And not to use one of the most famous sports cliches but the score is not really indicative of how this game unfolded. The Hokies come into Kenan Stadium and walk away with a 35-10 win. On several fronts it was a marked improvement over last week but [...] Continue reading UNC vs Virginia Tech: Bad…But Not That Bad Brian Barbour on September 8th, 2006 | Comments are closed Where: Kenan Stadium, Chapel Hill, NC When: September 9th at 12:00 PM TV: ESPN Records: UNC 0-1, 0-0 in the ACC, Virginia Tech 1-0, 0-0 in the ACC This past week marked the 10 year anniversary of Hurricane Fran’s fairly devasting rampage through North Carolina which left must of the eastern part of the state [...] Continue reading UNC vs. Virginia Tech On my drive into work this morning I was listening to 620 the Bull and heard the “Duke Football Report” segment with Duke football coach Ted Roof and play-by-play man Bob Harris. Now, it should be noted that these segments are nothing more than another outlet in the aforementioned “state run media” which all college [...] Continue reading How Bad Is It For Duke Football? |
