Need some good news?
Toney Baker has been granted a 6th year, and he will likely return to play football next year…or will he? We found out that my sixth year of eligibility was approved this week, which is great. I haven’t decided what I’m going to do yet, but I’m glad to have the option to come back. We’ve been [...]

Monday, October 12, 2009
Link to Pack Pride’s story NC State head coach Tom O’Brien announced today that redshirt junior safety Javon Walker will have to take a medical redshirt because of persistent knee injuries. “Javon is out and his career is over,” said O’Brien following his Monday press conference. “He’s going to have knee surgery and will take a medical.

Thursday, September 24, 2009
Good news on the injury front. Also, note safety Javon Walker listed as out. I expect he will be ready to play soon as well. NC State has released an updated injury report for the upcoming game against Pittsburgh. Tailback Jamelle Eugene, safety Clem Johnson, and left tackle Jake Vermiglio are no longer listed [...]

WRAL: Eugene & Vermiglio not on current two-deep WRAL is reporting that neither Jamelle Eugene nor Jake Vermiglio were ‘listed on the N.C. State depth chart for the Pittsburgh game, which was released by the school Monday afternoon.’ I’m not going to lose any sleep over this yet as: (1) I haven’t seen this two-deep listed on [...]

Sunday, September 20, 2009
Russell Wilson has now attempted 329 consecutive passes without throwing an interception breating the record of 325 previously held by Kentucky’s Andre Woodson. I’d say it was a good move by Coach O’Brien to get ther record done this week so that the Wolfpack’s exclusive focus can be on Pitt this week. Speaking of Coach O’Brien, [...]

Saturday, September 5, 2009
I’m still licking wounds and dealing with depression from Thursday and I just want to turn my attention forward. So, we are NOT going to re-hash all of the post-mortems from Thursday night. The Wolfpack should have no problem heading into the Pitt game on September 26th with a little rust worked off [...]

Friday, August 21, 2009
As I alluded in the comments section of this thread, Robbi Pickeral penned an interesting article last Sunday, noting that Sidney Lowe had named a new strength and conditioning coach. Lowe’s choice? Wright Wayne, Lowe’s coach in 1983, who had been reassigned to other programs within the athletic department for the last 12 [...]

Thursday, August 20, 2009
Duke football is dealing with a near-epidemic case of Swine Flu, and to date there isn’t much you can do to avoid a random H1N1 attack. You could obviously help your odds a bit by wearing a mask to work, confining yourself to a bubble, and/or canceling your vacation to that third-world-country paradise resort. [...]

Saturday, August 15, 2009
Evidently something has gone askew in the tracking of time here on earth. Despite the current dislocation in time and space, NC State will accept the situation as a near miss; but that doesn’t translate into good news for one of our all-time favorites – Andre Brown – as the former NC State running [...]

Background entry: More Concern than Hope Yesterday marked not only the first day of practice, but also the one-month mark until the Wolfpack kicks off the entire 2009 College Football season on ESPN against South Carolina.

Updated Entry – July 30, 2009 Pretty significant news coming out of Greensboro this morning and Ken Tysiac got it up on ACCNow in short order.

Not going to open this can of worms today…but, definitely wanted to highlight something from this article that is related to a HUGE undiscussed issue within the NC State Athletics Department. I’m just going to throw this quote out there so I have it filed for a future entry and to generate any discussion that takes [...]

Monday, July 6, 2009
ESPN’s Heather Dinich has been running a series on the ACC teams called “Hope and Concern”. She penned her entry on the Wolfpack on June 30th and it can be seen by clickling here. Biggest reason for hope — Quarterbacks Unlike coach Tom O’Brien’s first two seasons in Raleigh, there’s no question who the starting quarterback [...]

Sunday, June 28, 2009
Within hours of the Charlotte/News & Observer going to press with their selection that NC State would win the 2009 ACC Atlantic Division Football Championship, the Wolfpack’s all-conference junior linebacker Nate Irving was injured in a car accident. Irving was injured on Saturday night and is currently in the Wake Med Trauma Center with [...]

Thursday, January 8, 2009
Columnist Andrew Jones is of the opinion that it is in Freshman All-American QB Russell Wilson’s best interests to drop football and concentrate on baseball exclusively: He is just 5-foot-10, and with three football injuries on his 2008 resume, focusing just on baseball might be a wise decision for his future. Practice begins in a few weeks, [...]

Sunday, January 4, 2009
After yesterday’s predictable, yet still somehow heartbreaking loss to Florida, all that remains is ACC play (barring a shocking loss to NC Central, which is currently 0-16 and 347th out of 347 teams in the Sagarin ratings).
