What's all this then?

-- I'm not sure which was lamer: the N&O's story on the College Inn, or its response to all of the criticism.

-- If you're in the mood for more non-news, here you go.

-- The Star News asked wide receiver Owen Spencer a few questions.

-- Good defense, fellas.

-- Larry Davis is heading to Loyola-Marymount.

-- In this piece, among other things...

The boom is back in N.C. State's attack, led by Matt Payne (.356) and Pat Ferguson (.356). In the past 15 games, the Pack has hit .343, belted 22 home runs and scored 132 runs. Before that State was sluggish at the plate, batting .272.

Pack pitching hasn't been bad, either. The team ERA (3.16) ranks among the nation's top five, and the bullpen has been reliable from the get-go. Relievers are 13-4 with a 2.07 ERA and have converted 15 of 16 save opportunities, with Jimmy Gillhenney collecting nine of the saves.

See? They're sorry, everybody. Nothing but kind words from here on.

The article also brought my attention to FSU's Buster Posey, who is hitting .483/.586/.864 (BA/OBP/SLG) this season, .524/.625/.939 in conference play. I mean, that's just stupid ridiculous. And he's their everyday catcher. The man's clearly a robot.
