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 [...]
NC State Alumni news
Amerson to Washington (2nd), Glennon to Tampa (3rd), Wolff to Philly (5th)
Amerson a pretty laughable reach pick by an organization I don’t respect. Glennon finds an intriguing landing spot, a team with a young, but fringy QB in the last year of his contract. He won’t be forced to play right out of the gate, but he will get a shot late in the season if [...]
Congratulations, Danny Strong!
It’s always nice when good things happen to fellow Wolfpackers! Former NC State basketball player, Danny Strong has been named the new boys basketball coach at Fuquay-Varina High School. And, by the looks of things, there is nowhere to go but up! Link Fuquay-Varina High School’s boys basketball team will have a familiar name sitting [...]
Sidney Lowe (not Junior) arrested
Sidney Lowe, NC State’s former Head Basketball Coach and starting point guard on the 1983 National Championship team, has been arrested for failure to file state tax returns. Good God I hope that this is the only former/current NC State coach that has had a run in with the law recently. Link Sidney Lowe, former [...]
View A Screening of “Survive And Advance” March 11 In Reynolds
Today, thirty years ago — February 14, 1983 — things were looking bleak for the NC State Wolfpack. The Pack had just lost to Notre Dame 43-42 the night before and the team’s record stood at 13-8. They definitely were not in the conversation for the NCAA tournament, and were an afterthought for the ACC [...]
Dereck Whittenburg, ACC Tournament Legend!
AWESOME honor for Dereck! Whitt probably could justify this honor on the back of a single half of basketball – his semi-finals performance vs UNC in 1983. I know that Lorenzo Charles has already been named Tournament Legend, so this now at least 2 off of our 1983 Championship team. Others joining Whitt on this [...]
Dennis Horner sighting
Dennis Horner, and his tatoo, made ESPN’s Top 10 for a blocked shot in an NBA D-League game league. He’s averaging a solid 15 points an 7.7 rebounds a game playing alongside Clemson’s James Mays for the Springfield Armor. Thank God the Springfield Armor did not have another #31 on their roster! You may remember [...]
#AllRussellWilsonAllEverything
It’s a game that I somewhat can’t lose as I’m a stereotypical, long-suffering Redskins fan from the State of North Carolina. But, today we’re all Russell Wilson fans. Don’t forget that NC State’e JR Sweezy is starting on the offensive line for Seattle.
Wolfpack: 2012 Year in Review
As we all know by now, the Mayans were not correct and the world did not end. Since that day has come and past, we can look back on the highlights of the past 366 days (this year was a leap year people). In David Letterman fashion, here is this year’s top 10 list of [...]
Russell Wilson, from —–
He’s no dummy…
