State wins by 36 Heels Lose by 33

N C State 36 point victory in Winston Salem Saturday was the biggest road win in 65 years for the Pack.  1954 they had beaten Maryland by 50. I realize I pull for the Pack but I think by March State could be real good.  The other end of the spectrum Carolina's loss at Florida state is Roy Williams worse since coming to Carolina

The ACC has about two bad teams, about eight average teams and two that could be very good.  Average most of the time means you will win against all the bad teams and lose to all the good ones.One of the very good teams took on one of those average teams yesterday that  couldn't  miss.  This is the same Florida State team that lost by twenty to Clemson. I don't care who you are you had better be ready to play against any body if you could get embarrassed.

As I said here yesterday I thought the 49ers were going to make a game of it with Saints.  I didn't however foresee them out scoring them.  The 49ers have a chance to go to the Super Bowl.  New England handled Denver about how I expected.  Tim Tebow had a good run but now he must get better if he is going to be the starting QB in Denver Next year.

Rocky Mount boys are on top in the Big East after three games and have played the two teams that I would consider their top rivals already on the road and won.  They stand at 12-3 overall 2-0 in Big East play and 4-0 in 2012.

The girls with their victory over Hunt is 13-2 2-0 and winners of six straight.  Their next two games are Southern Nash and then Northern.  I think the Lady Gryphons have added some offensive weapons since they last meet Northern.  Before it was a two woman show J'Kyra Brown and Tia Hudgins but now Carmen Richardson and Alexus Cooper are more willing to shoot than they were before Christmas.  Rocky Mount will be harder to guard.

Friday night at the George Whitfield Hall of Fame in Goldsboro two long time sports Legends were honored.  Dick Boudour  the University of North Carolina Athletic Director  was given an award  for his service  as AD at Carolina for 14 years.and standing right beside him Rocky Mount's Bernie Capps was honored for his forty years of service not only to Gryphon Athletic as it's trainer but for his service to the entire high school sports community.
