Garner town officials confirmed today that the "American Idol" finale party at the RBC Center on Wednesday night will begin 7 p.m.

But the town will also host a viewing party at the Garner High gym for Tuesday night's performance episode. "American Idol" airs at 8 p.m. and the Garner gathering will begin at 7 p.m.

Thousands of fans are expected to show up to cheer on Garner's Scotty McCreery, who advanced last night and earned a top-two spot on the show.

The college students of North Carolina have some work to do.

A new ranking from Princeton Review, and not a single North Carolina school on it.

Sheesh. In what has to be a blow to school pride across the Tar Heel state, the Princeton Review hasn't deemed any of our universities crazy enough to rate a slot on its top-20 list...of party schools.

Penn State tops the list. Even the University of North Dakota slips in at number 18.

Florida State is the sole ACC representative, checking in at number 9.
