A Wolfpacker’s Viewing Guide to the Bowl Season

Following up on the today’s article with a list of the full bowl schedule and how to help SFN, we want to take a slightly deeper look at the 35 games. I will take a moment now to remember Temple, who went 8-4 and was the only FBS team with at least a 6-6 record [...]

Will Wolfpack Nation show up in Orlando?

There has been much discussion regarding the willingness of Wolfpack Nation to show up at the Dec. 28 bowl game versus West Virginia in Orlando. This year will be especially scrutinized after 3rd place Maryland was relegated to the Military bowl, the ACC’s 8th (in preference ranking) bowl game. Pundits have not been shy to [...]

Simply, Nate Irving

NC State linebacker, Nate Irving, is going to be remembered as one of the favorite Wolfpackers of all time for many fans.

Review of ACC Sports Media’s Pre-Season Picks

Good conversation and analysis happening here comparing the media’s preseason football selections to the final results.

On Dec. 31, [...]

Why bowls will pick NC State over Maryland

Over the last few years, I am very proud of how accurate and insightful SFN’s bowl selection analyses and scoop have been. You may have noticed that SFN has not participated in bowl conjecture and speculation this year. Part of the reason for our absence this year is that our author team has been severely [...]

NC State vs Maryland by the numbers

NOTE: The records used remove the results of the game played by said team and the opponent (i.e. NCSU beat FSU, so FSU’s ACC record is changed from 6-2 to 6-1. NCSU loss to VT, so VT’s ACC record is changed from 8-0 to 7-0). This balances out the records since teams that had bad [...]

Tuesday Update – TOB and BJD Now Singing From Same Hymnal

Not that Tom O’Brien has any idea who I am, or that many of you care. But what I read in the newspaper this morning was extremely reassuring: “If we were a great team, we’d be in the final,” O’Brien said during an interview Monday in his office. “But we’re a pretty good team. And [...]
