NC State – North Carolina picked as a top ‘rivalry’ for 2009
First, I detest the inappropriate use of the term ‘rivalry’ used to describe a short term time horizon such as a single season. No matter how long they play football on this earth the Florida State – Wake Forest game will never be a ‘rivalry’. Could they really not have found a better [...]

It is always nice to see the Wolfpack getting some national love and attention; so, we took the following screen shot from the front page of ESPN’s College Football page this morning. This ties nicely to this entry on Wilson and NC State Football that we featured last week.

Wednesday, April 1, 2009
SportsCenter Opening Animation from ESPN Communications on Vimeo. Just thought that you would enjoy. (Link) It is a world ruled by machines; antiseptic, efficient, pitiless … like The Matrix, only without the warmth. Sports Center’s new graphics are even more curious than before.

Dear Heather Dinich, Good for you, having been to all of the ACC stadiums – it’s something I can’t say for myself. And kudos to ESPN for hiring an Indiana graduate and a Maryland resident to write a regular blog about the ACC. I’ll be honest here, Heather. I’m provincially prejudiced and I don’t intend to change [...]

Tuesday, January 22, 2008
If NC State wins, I am happy and I think that it is a “good thing.” If NC State loses, I am sad and think that it is a “bad thing.” I admit it. I am also just a fan. I am not a journalist. You are reading StateFansNation that admits our bias. [...]
