Andre Brown: The steal of the NFL Draft?
Most of us were a little surprised when Andre Brown fell to the 4th round of this year’s NFL Draft. But, with that fall also comes a set of expectations that may be easier to reach on a relative basis. Brown is already turning heads in New York. (Link) The more I hear about Brown, [...]

ACCNow’s entry – Link Anthony Hill The Texans’ complemented their current pass-catching tight end (Owen Daniels) with Anthony Hill who was considered by some to be the best blocking TE in the draft. Hill joins Wolfpacker Mario Williams on an improving club who went 8-8 in one of the toughest divisions in football. The Texans offense finished [...]

Wednesday, April 22, 2009
Wide receivers Percy Harvin and Brandon Tate tested positive for marijuana during February’s NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis, two sources told FOXSports.com. Wow. All of those years in Chapel Hill and he just now starts using weed? So, Hakeem Nicks matriculates towards graduation with an intelligence barely high enough to make him intellectually functional on a [...]

Thursday, January 22, 2009
Looks like Andre Brown is starting to get noticed in the run-up to the Senior Bowl: Wednesday Practice Notes: Brown had a very solid afternoon. He ran well inside the tackles, hitting the holes with authority. Also showed good speed getting to the edge and picking up some yardage outside the hash marks. As for Anthony Hill Caught [...]

Monday, January 5, 2009
ESPN article Senior Bowl Website The January 24th Under Armour Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala have invited NC State players Andre Brown and Ant Hill to be on the game roster, according to ESPN’s Heather Dinich.

Two For Pack Consult NFL Draft Advisory Board N.C. State juniors Willie Young and Jamelle Eugene are submitting their names to the NFL draft advisory board for feedback on where they might be selected in the draft in April if they choose to leave school early, coach Tom O’Brien said Tuesday.

Tuesday, September 23, 2008
Let this one be a great testament – and therefore impactful recruiting marketing for recruiting – for Coach O’Brien and staff. Just a week ago Ken Tysiac posted a blog entry regarding the recent development of NC State’s Andre Brown into a much more complete football player. So, it is only natural that [...]

Friday, August 22, 2008
HOUSTON CHRONICLE: Whenever the Texans and Saints get together, whether for practice or a game, defensive end Mario Williams and running back Reggie Bush will be reminded of how different their careers could have been. We have really enjoyed following Mario’s career and will continue to do so here at SFN. You can click here [...]
Continue reading...Sunday Focus: Philip Rivers & Matt Ryan
Sunday, May 4, 2008
Since Philip Rivers is on my mind and it happens to be (NFL) Sunday (if we were in season), I thought I’d take a quick ACC-related diversion for hard core football fans who like to stay fresh. Philip Rivers ‘now he’s a folk here’ How awesome is this story on Philip Rivers? The guts and passion that Rivers [...]

Sunday, April 27, 2008
In 2006, the Atlantic Coast Conference produced seven of the first fifteen selections in the NFL Draft en route to setting the all-time record of first round draft choices from a single conference with twelve. Additionally, the ACC generated 25 of the 97 selections on the draft’s first day and had 51 total players selected [...]

Saturday, April 28, 2007
Wow. Tank falls to Kansas City (one of my 3 least favorite teams) at pick #83. He also took some (IMHO, overly harsh) hits about his character from the ESPN crew. The spitting incident in Hattiesburg cost him more than a meaningless ejection from a blowout game. The Browns and the 49ers made dumb moves [...]

Monday, April 16, 2007
An interesting table of information available in this link. The information just adds to anyone who wants another reason to criticize Chuck Amato or John Bunting. But, why bother at this point? Q: The most impressive coaching jobs of the last five years in the ACC? A: Tom O’Brien and Chan Gailey. Not even close.

Friday, November 10, 2006
Bill Simmons is probably one of SFN’s favorite writers. We are about the same age, grew up at the same time etc. His “13 Levels of Losing” is a MUST read for all NC State fans. That said, he jumped the gun on the Mario Williams/Reggie Bush debate like many of his friends in the media. In [...]

Monday, November 6, 2006
We might as well turn some attention to Mario Williams tonight while we are talking about the success of some other Wolfpackers in the NFL. ESPN’s Seth Wickersham checked in on improving Mario Williams in his Insider Blog today. If you have ESPN Premium access then you will enjoy the detailed read that ends with [...]
Continue reading...Reggie Bush Obviously A Bust
Tuesday, August 22, 2006
Just thought that we would proclaim to the world that Reggie Bush is ‘obviously’ going to be a bust based on his horrible performance vs the Cowboys last night. The guy did nothing in the meaningless preseason game. So, since Mario Williams ‘proved’ that he shouldn’t have been chosen by the Texans in the frst pick, [...]

Saturday, July 29, 2006
Give The News & Observer some credit for doing a good job of following the Wolfpack’s “6 Pack” of draftees. The N&O ran this summary of 2006 Wolfpack football alums as NFL training camps are opening. Mario Williams earned rave reviews in Houston during his first NFL practice. (Link) The Houston Texans’ No. 1 [...]

Wednesday, July 12, 2006
As we stated in one of our biggest and best entries of the summer: Over the next couple of weeks SFN will have some entries focusing on the tough summer that Chuck Amato is having in the national media. Then we went on to defend Coach Amato to TSN based on the incorrect premise and (lack of) [...]
