North Carolina State is a point guard away from having a really good team. Today, traveling to Florida, the Wolfpack had every chance in the world to win except late in the game there was no one to get the ball to the people who need it to score.
State will be lucky to win six conference games with the point guard play they are getting and will get during the rest of the season. They will get blown out a couple of times, but I think for the most part they will be in every game to the end.
Hey Carolina fans, you had better pay attention to the Demon Deacs of Wake Forest. Tonight they won at BYU who had a 53-game home winning streak going which was the longest in the nation. Wake wins at Provo.
The spiral continues for the Rocky Mount Gryphons as they are scalped at Kinston Saturday night to drop to 6-5. The Gryphons have lost five of six.
Saturday, in the NFL playoffs, the home teams won both games.
Arizona won its first playoff game ever, but the Cardinals franchise, it was the first win in 61 years.
Saturday night you saw why the Colts-Chargers were the prime time game as the Charger win in overtime .
The two best players on the field for the Chargers were the two smallest in the game. Darren Sproles, who have the third most total yards in a playoff game in history 322 and two touchdowns.
The other best player was Mike Scifres, the Charger punter who had a 65-yard punt which was the longest punt in the playoffs in 35 years. Four times on his punts Peyton Manning and the Colts started inside their own 10-yard line because of Scifres including his last one with less than three minutes to play that roll out of bounds at the one.
The three Pro Bowl quarterbacks for the AFC have all been eliminated from the playoffs after Manning lost Saturday night. Farve and Cutler failed to make the playoffs and the one quarterback who didn't Phillip Rivers plays on.
San Diego becomes the first NFL team which did not have a winning record to win a playoff game.
As of right now, I am 15-16 in my bowl picks and in the fantasy bowl league I am in the upper 25 percent which tells me nobody has done that well picking the bowl games.
Boy did the Pirates lose a heartbreaker or what.
My wife Pat decides at 11 a.m. Friday that we needed to go to Nags Head Friday night. I saw the ECU Pirates were ahead 16-3 at the half and the next time I cut the tube on they had lost.
Carolina, State, and ECU lose their bowl games with only Wake Forest winning.

Contrary to NCSU coach Tom Obrien's comments .... I guess that now makes WFU the best football program in the state of NC!
Did the addition of the football players make the basketball team that much worse ... has the chemistry of the team been negatively impacted?
Greg: There are several reasons why the Gryphons have not fared well since football season ended.
1. schedule has been tough
2. Football players blending is not had time to work playing so many crucial games. Not enough practice time together.
3. Ball handling is not good.
4. Players find themselve watching Tashawn Mabry instead of getting into the flow.
From what I have seen this year the best Basketball team in the area is Northen Nash who the Gryphons will play at Northern Friday night.
