ACCSports.com - Wolfpack Insider Free Today

Published by StateFans on 11/19/2008 in '08 Football, General, Media and Multimedia. 12 Comments

ACCSports.com/ACC Sports Journal is allowing free access to their NC State team report today.

Wilson Offers Program Hope provides a deeper look at the obvious ‘hot issue’ of the moment within the NC State Football program — the impressive emergence of quarterback, Russell Wilson.

Ever since he got knocked out against South Carolina in the season opener and got his feet wet against Clemson, Wilson has played lights-out. As strange as it may seem for someone who didn’t even lock up his own starting position until late August, Wilson even could be emerging as a favorite to be the top quarterback in the ACC when the all-conference teams are selected.

J-Co’s amazing one handed - or one headed? - catch

Published by StateFans on 11/14/2008 in '08 Football, Alums, General and Multimedia. 12 Comments

NC State may choose to under-promote our alums currently making major contributions in the National Football League, but we will do our best not to ignore their contributions.

Jerricho Cotchery has proven that he is good for at least three or four bigtime highlights each year, and last night’s catch on national television against the Patriots ranks right up there with the best of them. J-Co undoubtedly deserves the praise and pay that he receives.

Wilson Stakes Claim; Wake up this weekend

Published by StateFans on 11/13/2008 in '08 Football, General and Multimedia. 36 Comments

A lot has been (deservedly) made of the fantastic play of NC State’s red shirt freshman quarterback, Russell Wilson.

Wilson has performed better than almost anyone could have dreamed this season and has therefore promised to make the quarterback competition with freshman Mike Glennon interesting to watch in the future. (What a nice ‘problem’ to have).

Wilson is playing so well that our own BJD walked the line of heresy without raising much ire by making the following comment after the Wolfpack’s win over Duke this weekend:

Red Means Go - Somebody Gets It!

RedMeansGo

If you’re an avid NC State fan you may have missed it.

Perhaps you walked away from the television trying to beat your head against the wall after another of Tom O’Brien’s players was injured. Or…maybe you were in the stands during our televised games this season concentrating on a return on investment analysis of your Lifetime Rights If you were in the stands maybe you were so engrossed in the game that you were watching substitution patterns instead of the drivel on the jumbotron (which probably wasn’t audible anyway with Carter-Finley’s antiquated sound system).

NCSU ends BS of ECU in BCS w/ W in OT

I would love to embed this video from the N&O but the “Old Reliable” (chuckle, chuckle) doesn’t share embed code in their videos. If you watch it, pay special attention to Jarvis Williams’ touchdown catch at about 1 minute and 30 seconds into the clip. WOW! That field-level angle provides a great sense for how awesome that catch - and throw - was.

Ty Lawson: “70/40 (to stay in NBA Draft)”

Published by StateFans on 06/13/2008 in Basketball, General, Multimedia and Rivals. 13 Comments

You cannot make this stuff up. It is nice to know that “Curry Math” continues to be taught at Carolina. Just remember, Chris Washburn was at State almost 25 years ago.

Heck…while we are talking about Carolina athletes who are a little on the small side why don’t we also highlight that Dexter Reid was convicted on a felony drug conviction this week.

You probably remember Reid as a motor-mouth from the Tarheel secondary a few years ago who intentionally pushed a television camera man to the ground in the back of the Carter-Finley end zone during one of his appearances in Raleigh.

I know what you more mature readers are asking and saying right now

Facebook? Is this a joke? What college student has taken over SFN?

Well, this is not a joke.

After reading dozens of articles in the past year in The Wall Street Journal, Business Week, Forbes, Fortune and other business magazines SFN (and some of our bloggers) have taken the plunge into another realm of cyberspace by opening Facebook profiles. We’ve been pretty amazed at all of the various ways that the tool can be used.

Where Amazing Happens…Happened

Tip of the hat to the Pack Pride message boards for highlighting this fantastic YouTube Video titled, “Where Amazing Happens - NC State”.

Without explicitly stating it, this video provides a damning commentary of the current nature of the NC State athletics program as the bulk of the actual achievements in the video all took place in the past with none taking place within the last four years. How about we rename it, “Where Amazing Happened”?

SFN was en feugo yesterday with tons of great stuff on the site like beowulf’s instant classic of “The Chilling Anniversary of the Broken Nose”

The hilarious ‘Hitler is a Gamecock fan’ video reminded us of post we made back in August of 2006 that a parody for a Clemson promotional video. In the interest of providing even time to each school we wanted to link that video here.
