Four Football Players Face Drug Charges

gives me an opportunity to also vent about our baseball team. with all due respect to the BC blogger who sometimes post here, being swept by BC at Raleigh this past weekend is embarrassing and unacceptable.
make no mistake, the team at this time is not the same team that won 2 of 3 from UVa with Kyle Wilson out of the lineup except for an occasional pinch hit and the short stop position being unsettled. i don’t know if Bergquist is hurt or has just lost favor with Avent, but the short stop position at this time isn’t being played well at all.
when i left the game Friday night, i felt BC had a good chance to sweep. State made four errors over two terrible innings (i really felt sorry for Jake), but what his dosen’t show is the plays which weren’t errors, but should have been made. freshman Canela should not be starting, especially at first base where he made errors and didn’t make makeable plays on ground balls, and Diaz should not play shortstop. i have to wonder why Russel Wilson, who played second pretty well last year, wasn’t moved to second and Poulk to shortstop. there are other outfielders who could replace Kyle Wilson in the outfield to some extent. i also had to question why Avent pinch hit for Wilson, who was having a good game, with runners on in the seventh. sure, Gianis is a left handed batter going against a right handed pitcher, but Gianis did what i expected-struck out.
my hopes for State making the NCAA’s is over. i really expect State to get swept by Ga Tech and FSU. maybe they will win a few against Duke. now, will they make the ACC tournament with UNC breathing down their neck?
as i have written State should make the NCAA’S most of the time and the ACC tournament all of the time. time for a new coach? i think so. Avent has taken State as far as he is going to.
to top that the softball team is stinking losing 2 of 3 to a bad Maryland team. now them making the NCAA’S is questionable. they will make the ACC tournament as there are only 8 teams.
of the five teams i root for most, only the women’s basketball team has done anything worthwhile.

really being bad for Sweezy, but I don’t think the other guys should be suspended for more than a game. But the N&O will probably now run an expose on marijuana use by NC State athletes, resulting in the disbanding of our athletics department, and ending this whole painful ride.
