Confessions ofaturncoat For as long as I can remember, I have been a fanat— ical follower of ACC basketball. When I first started playing rec—league basket— ball, I chose num- ber 21 and my Steve best friend chose Thompson number 13 — an overt homage to the Fire and Ice tandem we wished to be. Any trip to see any ACC team play basketball was accepted with enthusi- asm, even ifI were watching NC. State play Maryland Eastern Shore or North Carolina play the Russian national team. I used to scour every day’s newspaper for any and every ACC basketball story, fact and statistic. My mood for entire weeks would hinge on a game’s outcome. This year, however, it seems my alle- giances have changed. Slowly my inter- est in ACC football, or more specifical— ly NC. State football, has grown to the point where it was on par with ACC bas— ketball. Perhaps now it has passed it. While the passing of the college bowl season and the advent of the ACC bas- ketball schedule used to draw me fully into basketball mode, this year my in— terest in football is lingering. When I wake up now, I immediately search through media outlets for information on football recruiting or college foot— ball players going pro. My interest in col— lege basketball news has been pushed to the periphery. It would be easy to point to the ex— citement surrounding this year’s foot- Josh Powell (left) and Julius Hodge (right) lead the Wolfpack in scoring during ACC play.Through the first two conference contests, a win over Virginia and a loss to Georgia ball and the corresponding tiresome be- Tech, Hodge is averaging 15 points and Powell 12.5.Staffphotos by Matt Huffman ginning ofthis year’s basketball team as the reason for my sudden turnaround, All—American Troy Bell season—low nine points, halfhis been over for some time.
