If any university has more of a “Charlie Brown kicking the football” complex than NC State, it’s South Carolina. The chickens went winless in bowls for longer than Moses’ sojourn in the desert, until an aged Lou Holtz led them to a few respectable victories. Gamecock basketball has been most notable for NIT Hall of [...]

8. June 2010
Developing and also discussed here. Russell Wilson was drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the 4th Round/140th Pick. Apparently, the Rockies love some ACC Quarterbacks as Kyle Parker was drafted earlier. Some interesting Tweets: MikeBart1434 played against NC State’s Russell Wilson, he is a freak athlete played 4 diff positions against us, also QB for [...]

4. June 2010
NC State has put itself in a rough spot in the Myrtle Beach regional after falling to the Cougars tonight. The Wolfpack did make things interesting after falling behind by seven runs through five, but it was too little too late in the eighth and ninth innings. Even with a win over Stony Brook tomorrow [...]

Anyone want to sit on the Wolfpack “Dougout” side at the Doak? Get your New Jersey’s before you head to the Men’s Restroom’s. (I apologize that I have no idea what the Men’s Restroom’s possess.) The awful misuse of apostrophe’s has me wondering if the great Donal Ware authored this page of the media guide? [...]

State won its weekend series at Doak Field at Dail Park versus #1-ranked Virginia 2-1 to improve to 18-10 overall (5-7 ACC). I was at the game Friday and it was a beautiful evening and a great crowd, and obviously the last few innings were exciting. It was my first game of the season and [...]

19. February 2010
The Wolfpack open the 2010 season today with the first of three games against LaSalle. Many were disappointed with last season, but this year should prove to be better with a more seasoned offense. There are a few bullpen questions, the most intriguing being what role Russell Wilson ultimately plays. It has been suggested the [...]

Fresh off a fantastic basketball win over Duke, I thought now would be perfect timing to heap on the positive news. Baseball is right around the corner, so it’s time to begin the preview of the upcoming Wolfpack season and I’ll start with the offense.

Saturday afternoon in Lane Stadium, two of the best-ever Virginia high school QB products will lead their respective teams when NC State visits Virginia Tech.

17. November 2009
Interesting comments from Russell. Something must have been said or asked about playing both sports professionally because Tysiac mentions Russell thinking he can be a Hall of Fame player in both sports. I have heard one story that suggests he could turn pro in baseball, pay his own way to school, and play college football [...]
