Looking back at spring practice
Although it’s often tough to tell what to expect from a team after watching spring practice or a spring game, those things do reveal trends which can impact how teams enter fall practice. Whether it be position battles, injuries or coaching changes (all of which NC State is and will continue to go through), spring […]
Exploring the meaning of Spring Football attendance numbers
Now that all the major schools have finished spring practice schedules and held some version of a spring game (each school does things slightly differently), let’s take a quick look at how fan bases across the state and country represented for their favorite squad.

Willie Young, Ted Larsen and Toney Baker look forward to the weekend
In what is likely the most stressful day of their lives, three former Wolfpackers will look to start the next chapter of their careers via the NFL Draft, which begins tonight.

Red Team outlasts White Team in Kay Yow Spring Game, 31-21
Good crowd. Good game. Good weather. And NC State won.

And you thought a 96-team NCAA Tournament field was dumb
Just when you thought the NCAA couldn’t go more crazy, it did. Thursday afternoon the NCAA Rules Oversight Panel approved three rule changes — two for 2010 and one for 2011 — that in some cases could potentially change the outcome of games based on a completely subjective decision by a referee. Beginning in 2010, […]
Spring Football Update — Second Scrimmage notes, tailgating and more
NC State held its second live scrimmage of Spring Practice Saturday, and based on Tom O’Brien’s comments following the action, the Wolfpack is making “strides” on both sides of the ball.

In case you missed it, Tom O’Brien is on the hot seat
In more football news, apparently Tom O’Brien is on the hot seat. Thanks to 99.9 FM’s Joe Ovies for bringing this to my attention this morning via Twitter. O’Brien’s ‘rebuilding’ window is closing fast Three seasons ago, Tom O’Brien surprised more than a few people by jumping abruptly from Boston College to N.C. State. At […]
Baker, Young hope for improved stock following Pro Day
How fast can you run 40 yards? How high can you jump? How many times can you push 225 lbs. off your chest? NFL Scouting is a numbers game. Whether or not those numbers have any impact on who can actually play football is anybody’s guess, but every NFL team relies on a select few […]
