I will be honest here – I am so inured to the culture of corruption, and Monty Python’s Black Knight caliber of willful and idiotic denial…I didn’t think anything UNC scandal related could shock me anymore. Then I read this, and you should as well: Prepare to be disgusted. Horrific doesn’t even begin to describe [...]
Your annual Adrian Wilson entry, III
I’m really not kidding about the title of this entry. See last year’s entry and corresponding videos. It really is time for our annual spotlight on Wolfpack great, Adrian Wilson. Since the Arizona Cardinals were in town battling the Carolina Panthers last weekend, this year’s entry is primarily brought to us by this article in [...]
Kenny Boynton commits to Florida; Expect Duke to push for John Wall
Link here Kenny Boynton, one of the nation’s top scoring guard recruits in the class of 2009, committed to Florida Thursday evening, choosing the Gators over Duke, Texas, USC and Georgia Tech.

You thought we had bad attrition? or, Todd Turner is not a sports handicapper
As we highlighted in this entry last week, injuries and attrition have been a major topic in WolfpackNation over the last couple of years.

(2) Hickson wasn’t the only former NC State big man to take the court last [...]
Next year’s 12th football game
At the risk of over-stating the obvious – next year is a very important year for the NC State Football program and every single leader with any type of influence over the direction of the football program. Unless the Wolfpack can string together four consecutive wins to close out the 2008 season, the program is [...]
Is Derrick Favors nearing a decision? Does the AJC know anything about basketball recruiting?
I am not saying that the AJC is wrong…I just haven’t gotten the feeling that they really have much of a clue what is going on with Derrick Favors throughout the recruiting process. FWIW, this link speculates that a surprise decision by Favors may be coming soon. Then again, the AJC seems to pen some [...]
Tuesday Football Bytes
Maryland and North Carolina currently sit as the ACC’s only two bowl eligible teams, but a quick look at the conference’s standings before week 10 will show that every team in the conference – except for NC State – has the chance to ultimately control their own destiny. It is a crazy season! The loss [...]
Let’s Hope That This Isn’t A Sign Of Things To Come (Again)
We will have a little more on basketball in the coming days, but one thing from the Red-White hoops game in Reynolds from the weekend jumps out at me: Charlotte Observer/Raleigh N&O: Red and White Game [Fans at the Red and White game] didn’t get a chance to examine the game of slimmed-down Brandon Costner, [...]
