Tuesday, January 26, 2010
The more I’ve thought about this game, the more I’ve started to think it’s a bit underwhelming. If you look at it from an outsiders’ perspective, it’s not even really that exciting. UNC limps in at 12-7 overall and 1-3 in the ACC, reeling from three straight losses in the last 10 days. NC State [...]

During the second half, Deon Thompson was shooting free throws. The Smith Center was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. That’s when it happened. One of the Blue Hose faithful yelled something to the effect of “You’re gonna miss it, Deon.” Although it didn’t cause Thompson to miss the free throw, it did [...]

In the first video – just one of many examples of Carolina Class exhibited on the Carter-Finley turf on Saturday afternoon – Greg Little barks and taunts an injured Jarvis Byrd. Many posters on other message boards say that it appears that Little spits or feigns a spitting action on the injured Byrd. In this [...]

With 16 scholarship players out and two more defensive starters hurt during the game, the Wolfpack looked like longer shots than the oddsmakers’ mere touchdown. – WSJ.com ESPN2’s Todd McShay and Robert Smith had nice things to say about the Wolfpack and the win in their post-game comments…and, I appreciate them focusing on the winners today [...]

Saturday, November 28, 2009
I wouldn’t go anywhere close to saying that most State fans only care about beating Carolina, but there is no doubt that today’s game against the Tarheels provides Wolfpacknation a golden opportunity to end this miserable season with a much better taste in our mouth than we have experienced since September. The ‘Observers’ had a fascinating [...]

Wednesday, November 11, 2009
#20 NC State won a crucial 1st round matchup versus #2 UNC in the first round of the ACC Men’s Soccer Championship in Cary, NC. In brutal weather conditions, the teams played two regulations and two sudden death overtimes without scoring a goal. In the shootout, senior NC State goalkeeper Christopher Widman of Greensboro, NC [...]

Thursday, October 1, 2009
This came to me on an email earlier today, and I see that it’s being discussed elsewhere. For any of you who don’t frequent other sites, I didn’t want you to miss out on this gem. Check the 26 second mark of the video. Woody has that typical Tar Heel trait that [...]

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. [...]

Monday, August 17, 2009
First, I detest the inappropriate use of the term ‘rivalry’ used to describe a short term time horizon such as a single season. No matter how long they play football on this earth the Florida State – Wake Forest game will never be a ‘rivalry’. Could they really not have found a better [...]

Wednesday, August 5, 2009
This is Part IV of a five-part series that is by no means intended to be authoritative. Rather, it’s nothing more than an incomplete, inconclusive, sometimes erroneous, while always biased retrospective of recent State football history. Part of this was based on nothing more than my attempt to answer the question so many of us [...]

Saturday, July 25, 2009
First, I really liked this entry on the ACC Atlantic’s Ultimate 2009 schedule. The Wolfpack’s games comprise almost half the season with five selections and that doesn’t include the last game of the year when Carolina travels to Carter-Finley. Maybe that game could have made the list if the Tarheels could have kept [...]

Only 12% Of State Fans Dislike Krzyzewski
Wednesday, June 24, 2009
In a Public Policy Polling release, some interesting numbers come to light regarding North Carolina fans and their likes and dislikes in terms of college athletics. NC State is the second in popularity in NC, with 19% of respondents labeling themselves as Wolfpack fan. Nearly twice as many respondents, 37% identified as Tar Heel faithful, [...]

Alternative title: Things I never thought I’d say – ‘Still dreaming of a trip to Omaha’ (Picture above was emailed to SFN from a reader. If anyone out there deserves ‘credit’ then please let us know) Since Lee Fowler became NC State’s Athletics Director, the Virginia Cavaliers - whose overall athletics program ranks near the top [...]

Tuesday, June 16, 2009
It should be really easy to project this fall’s college football results. All we have to do is: - Assess what went right/wrong in 2008. - Subtract contributions from “graduating” players. - Add in contributions that we will see from new players. - Subtract lost contributions due to injuries. That should leave us with [...]

Tuesday, May 26, 2009
Brad Lawing, the South Carolina defensive line coach and former UNC-CH recruiting coordinator, says that recruiting rankings and sites are a scam. “I can take a three-star and make him a four-star, and I can take a four-star and make him a three- or two-star with the contacts I have. That’s how ridiculous recruiting on [...]

Saturday, May 23, 2009
I ran across a pretty low quality chat with Philip Rivers this morning. Audio only although they do flash some photos up in a slideshow type format (check out the photo with Broncos QB Jay Cutler with his head down). Let this quench our thirst for football season as we have to wait many more [...]

Monday, May 11, 2009
NC State’s baseball team may be struggling this year and probably will not even qualify for an Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament berth…but this weekend the Wolfpack found a way to grab some ‘prideful’ wins. To keep its slim hopes alive for a bid to the ACC baseball tournament, N.C. State had to pull off the improbable: [...]
