Monday, January 11, 2010
It was a good weekend for former NC State football players in the NFL as both Jerricho Cotchery’s New York Jets and Adrian Wilson’s Arizona Cardinals advanced to the second round of the NFL Playoffs.

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 [...]

We started a thread on the message boards this weekend based on the final weekend of NFL cuts. Today, the N&O provides their annual look at the “ACC in the NFL”. Today, NC State ranks 9th in the ACC with 19 former players currently on NFL rosters. As a point of reference, in October [...]

Monday, August 24, 2009
The traditions of tailgating outside of sports stadiums is increasingly coming under restriction at many venues.

Monday, November 17th I thought about this last night and was glad to see that someone tackled the issue of the bad call by the officials at the end of the San Diego @ Pittsburgh game. Deadspin has it covered at this link. An estimated 100 million dollars was wagered worldwide on the Pittsburgh/San Diego game, [...]

Monday, November 17, 2008
As stated in an earlier post, NC State may choose to under-promote our alums currently making major contributions in the National Football League, but we will do our best not to ignore their contributions. Koren Robinson was re-signed this year by Seattle after a string of injuries to its receiving corps that was, well, NC State-esque. [...]

Friday, November 14, 2008
NC State may choose to under-promote our alums currently making major contributions in the National Football League, but we will do our best not to ignore their contributions. Jerricho Cotchery has proven that he is good for at least three or four bigtime highlights each year, and last night’s catch on national television against the Patriots [...]

Wednesday, October 15, 2008
Not good news for former Wolfpacker, John McCargo. First he was traded to Indy. The Bills traded under-performing defensive tackle John McCargo to the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for an undisclosed draft pick on Tuesday. But he fails the physical. Apparently, McCargo has a herniated disc The Buffalo News, citing two league sources, reported on its Web site that the [...]

The following was submitted to us by our old friend, SMD. The timing of the piece was perfect as Jerricho Cotchery was featured last night in a FANTASTIC piece on ESPN’s television show, E:60. If you didn’t see it, you need to find a replay of it and watch it. It was summed up by [...]

Want to talk about making an impact in the BIG TIME?
