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 [...]
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. [...]
Javon Walker’s Career is Over
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 [...]
Vermiglio, Johnson, and Eugene cleared to play
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.

Big injury update and afternoon football bytes
WRAL: Eugene & Vermiglio not on current two-deep WRAL is reporting that neither Jamelle Eugene nor Jake Vermiglio were ‘listed on the N.C.

Russell Wilson breaks NCAA record in another Wolfpack offensive explosion
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 [...]

Saturday Stuff
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 the machine [...]
Headscratching Hire – Strength and Conditioning Coach
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 years. If [...]
