Former Wolfpackers advance in NFL playoffs (Updated 10:30am)
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. If you didn’t see the Jets-Bengals game on Saturday, Cotchery turned in a very impressive performance – figuratively painting the sidelines [...]

Sunday, August 2, 2009
The third installment of LRM’s fantastic retrospectives hit SFN on Friday and can be seen by clicking here. The piece focused on one of the best college football quarterbacks of all-time – Philip Rivers. Statistically, Philip’s status as the ACC’s greatest quarterback is indisputable. He ranks first in total starts (51), passing yards [...]

Friday, July 31, 2009
This is Part III 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 [...]

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, March 30, 2009
One of the more heralded football recruits in recent memory to make their way to West Raleigh is certainly Toney Baker. The Jamestown, NC player was a consensus All-American, and it was the Army All-Star game on national television that Toney did the hat dance where he ultimately donned the red and white cap with [...]

Friday, March 13, 2009
In the wake of yet another disappointing basketball season with yet another lackluster ACC Tournament one-and-done, I got to thinking about some of the current students, younger alumni and fans of NC State — and how much I feel sorry for them because they have rarely if ever gotten to feel the absolute joys that [...]
Continue reading...Andrew Jones: Russell Wilson Should Drop Football
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, [...]

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.

Saturday, November 29, 2008
NC State closed out the 2008 regular season with a convincing 38-28 win over Miami. The team that (for September and most of October) looked as if it could be one of the all-time worst Wolfpack squads turned out to be one of the most memorable. Clemson’s thumping of South Carolina means that [...]

Saturday, November 29, 2008
This Edition of NC State Football Has Turned Into a Solid Team. While the attention and much of the credit for NC State’s football renaissance in the past month rightfully goes to Russell Wilson, the simple truth of it is that this is a team that has come together and is working as one. That’s not overlooking [...]

After Saturday’s 41-10 loss to NC State, Deems May had this to say on Taylor Zarzour’s WPTF post-game call-in show: ‘They won’t even be in our league soon. [...] With the way our recruiting is going we’ll be challenging teams like Viriginia Tech for the ACC Title. [...] State College will be lucky to get a [...]

Thursday, November 13, 2008
A lot has been (deservedly) made of the fantastic play of NC State’s red shirt freshman quarterback, Russell Wilson. Wilson has performed better than almost anyone could have dreamed this season and has therefore promised to make the quarterback competition with freshman Mike Glennon interesting to watch in the future. (What a nice ‘problem’ to have). Wilson [...]

Saturday, November 8, 2008
Some quick thoughts and “good news” items: - NC State WRs really stepped it up today. Jarvis Williams made 2 excellent “jumpball” catches on deep throws. Anthony Hill made a SportsCenter caliber catch on 3rd and long, setting up his TD catch on the next play. Darrell Davis made a nice catch on the sideline setting [...]

Thursday, October 23, 2008
We’ve recently been busier than normal and therefore haven’t had the opportunity to cover nearly as much as we would have liked. But, one topic that we have done an admirable job of highlighting is the impact/problem of attrition and injuries related to this year’s NC State football team. Back in September we highlighted the [...]

Thursday, September 25, 2008
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 [...]
