Pack's A Different Team

Tonight N C State beat Princeton 60-58 which is a very unimpressive score but wait a minute.  Leslie is out, Woods get hurt the first minute and the Pack never really looked comfortable all night on offense.  The result a win for the Pack when in many of the past years they would have lost by 15.  Tonight the Wolfpack played Defense.  The new man in town has really got his troops believing in defense and tonight they won one which they would have lost in past years and when it is time to count wins to make the NCAA tournament this game will be in  the positive category instead of bad losses.

Tarheel football will be on Thursday night TV  playing Virginia Tech. in a game that I think the Heels must win. If it comes down to beating Duke to make a Bowl don't count your chickens on that one yet.

N C State football has to hope the Clemson team that is satisfied with knowing they are in the championship game will come to Raleigh Saturday fat and happy.  It probably wouldn't hurt to see if they could get Clemson to wear pale blue either.

Follow up on the high school soccer Regional final.  Jacksonville can't beat Cardinal Gibbons  any better than Hunt can't beat Jacksonville.  Cardinal Gibbons goes after their fifth State title this fall Saturday in soccer.  They beat Jax 3-1 Tuesday.

You know us folks in the media can flip flop in a minute.  Three weeks ago Tim Tebow was a bum and could not make it in the NFL.  This week he is going to change the face of the NFL.  In reality Tebow has been a hero the last couple of weeks because the Bronco's defense has kept him in the game.  If they were giving up thirty points like they were earlier this year Tebows still a bum.  Personally I like Tebow both on the field and off.  I don't think he will last however.
