Sunday’s Stuff
Anyone who cares anymore is thoroughly embarrassed (again) after Saturday’s egg laying exercise in Blacksburg; the problem is that fewer and fewer people actually care anymore about something that is so irrelevant. We just don’t have the energy or desire to chronicle Saturday’s defeat, so we encourage you to look around our message boards for various [...]

Friday, September 11, 2009
Alternative Title: After 43 years, Wolfpack Club takes leadership of Athletics Department’s responsibility (again) After last week’s game against South Carolina, SFN opened an interesting thread on the message boards asking people to share their ‘non-football’ experiences at Carter-Finley.

Wednesday, January 28, 2009
Ever wondered why Wake Forest has a better atmosphere than NC State? Mike Odom has never scored a point for Wake Forest, but when the Deacons play No. 1 Duke tonight, he will be called on to give the team some oomph. During breaks in the action, Odom will cue up “Zombie Nation” or another high-energy song [...]

On May 14th of this year, over at my old site, Red and White From State, I made an entry that suggested something I thought that would look really neat at a home game: Something Cool That NC State Should Do At Home Games Most of us have all see the flipcards that make graphic elements in [...]

Monday, October 1, 2007
First, you need to read this previous entry as a de facto “part one” to today’s entry. We wanted to thank Pack Pride for continuing to focus on the issues of simple game-day execution at Carter-Finley. On Sunday, PP ran a great entry from Scott Vogelsburg (formerly of The Wolfpacker) and in today’s [...]

Friday, September 28, 2007
What a prediction!! Good old Lee Fowler and NC State. Reactive. Never proactive. Is it so much to ask that they get something right the first time? N.C. State athletics director Lee Fowler said Thursday that there should not be a shortage of bottled water for Saturday’s football game against Louisville. Spectators [...]

Monday, September 17, 2007

Thursday, May 10, 2007
Last year NC State institued a poorly crafted “tailgating policy” that we described as “the worst kind of administrative nonsense – a solution in search of a problem.” We discussed it in this entry that definitely deserves your time. Later in the year, this (really good) entry discussed the topic framed against a very approprite [...]

Thursday, November 16, 2006
What was it about NC State’s game with Clemson last week that was so eye-opening to Wolfpackers? First, Brett Jensen went from being a below-average hack to a superstar in this awesome piece about NC State’s Athletics Administration.
