Ten Years Later It's Still Northern Rocky Mount

It has been almost ten years now since Nash Central set up right in the middle between Northern and Rocky Mount.  Central has had their moments but regardless the top rivalry in this area is Northern/Rocky Mount. I have been reminded that I have not mentioned on this blog that Northern beat Rocky Mount in soccer this week 4-2 and that I had not mentioned that volley ball at Northern won last week 3-0 over the Gryphons.  Since I hadn't spoke on those games I have not also let everyone know Rocky Mount tennis beat Northern.

Carolina needs a win badly and they travel toVirginia Tech a team that so far this year hasn't scored a bunch on anybody.  Their good news is that still play defense in Blacksburg.  If Tech scores a bundle in this one it will be a deadly sign for the Tar Heel Defense.  VAT 23 Carolina 13

N C StateTravels Winston to take on the struggling Demon Deacons.  State has not won there since the days of Philip Rivers.  I think the Pack finally  finds a victory but it may be close.  Pack 26 Wake19

Talk about a true trap game but the Pirates travel to Middle Tennessee St who lost to Carolina in the second week.  If the Pirates are still celebrating they could get thumped.  Don't think it happens.  ECU 38MTS28

Lagrange heads to Rocky Mount to meet the Battling Bishops of NCW.    Wish I could pick Wesleyan I can't.  LaGrange  23 NCW 14.

I guess we can add this game now that the Pentagon says it is ok for Army to travel to Boston College and we think Army should have stayed on the Hudson River.  BC 31 USMA 13 .

The interesting game of the weekend is the deserters Maryland heading south to Florida St.  Leaning hard to pick the Terps but I won' t.  FSU38 Maryland 35

Other games:

Clemson at Syracuse: Clemson had not be looking this game as if there is any chance for any ACC  team that can be in the running for the BCS championship game both Clemson, Miami and Florida State much win the games that are not  the so called glamor games.  Clemson  42 The Cuse 22.

Georgia Tech at Miami :  GT failed to beat VAT home so you would figure they won't in  Miami.  Canes 34 GAT 17 .

Looks like Todd Gurley is out this week after spraining his ankle against LSU
