So wait, is Russell Wilson coming back?
I understand Russell Wilson’s decision on how to proceed with his future is hugely important to the 2010 football team, but this has almost gotten laughable. How many times — and ways — will both Wilson and Tom O’Brien have to talk about his plans in the fall? How many different ways can they both [...]

Sunday, June 20, 2010
Saw this first on Backing the Pack so I must give credit there. The following article, from Inside the Colorado Rockies, discusses the signing and what the next step will be for Russell. It looks like he’s going to have quite a busy summer. The key word in the entire release from the web site [...]

Wednesday, June 9, 2010
Although Russell says he is coming back to play in the fall even after being drafted in the 4th round of Major League Baseball’s Draft, it may be time for Tom O’Brien to dust off his Contingency Plan. After all, professional athletes NEVER posture and use leverage to get the maximum salary they can pull… [...]

Tuesday, June 8, 2010
Developing and also discussed here. Russell Wilson was drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the 4th Round/140th Pick. Apparently, the Rockies love some ACC Quarterbacks as Kyle Parker was drafted earlier. Some interesting Tweets: MikeBart1434 played against NC State’s Russell Wilson, he is a freak athlete played 4 diff positions against us, also QB for [...]

Monday, May 24, 2010
Not much of a surprise here (at least IMO), but still worth looking at. While Josh Nesbitt and Christian Ponder are arguably more important to the success of their teams in 2010, Wilson is an extremely talented player who has room for improvement. Nesbitt is limited somewhat by the offense he plays in and Ponder [...]

Tuesday, April 13, 2010
NC State’s starting quarterback will play football in 2010. Tom O’Brien, the Wolfpack’s head coach made the announcement today after football practice when he said bluntly, “write it down: [Wilson is] coming back.” So let it be written. Wilson, a two year starter, was thought to have played his final football season for the Wolfpack in 2009, [...]

Monday, March 29, 2010
NC State’s unexpected success on the hardwood in the Atlantic Coast Conference and National Invitation Tournaments served to drive a lot of focus away from a couple of developing stories that we didn’t want to ignore. (1) Russell Wilson returning to the gridiron? Buried in this little recap in the N&O/Charlotte Observer a couple of [...]

Monday, December 7, 2009
The yelling had not even started to subside just a couple of hours after the Wolfpack’s big win over North Carolina when one of our authors was looking to next year with the a thread titled – “Cross Your Fingers That Baker and Wilson Stay” Well, over the weekend we highlighted Toney Baker’s big award [...]

Tuesday, November 17, 2009
Interesting comments from Russell. Something must have been said or asked about playing both sports professionally because Tysiac mentions Russell thinking he can be a Hall of Fame player in both sports. I have heard one story that suggests he could turn pro in baseball, pay his own way to school, and play college football [...]

Saturday, September 26, 2009
Make no mistake about it…today’s Wolfpack win over the favorite to win the Big East Championship marked a legitimate turning point for Coach Tom O’Brien and the NC State football program. We posted this previous comment as the game ended, so we were very pleased to see that we were on the same page with [...]

Sunday, September 20, 2009
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 [...]

Friday, September 11, 2009
Tomorrow night begins a 2-game stretch of games that one must watch differently from the remainder of the schedule (games that all but the shittiest of the shitty < < cough >> UVA – win fairly easily). Fortuntely, we’ve already seen State play a legitimate opponent, so we know some areas of improvement to judge. [...]

Friday, September 4, 2009
There’s been lots of chatter in the comments and in the forums about Wilson not looking to run. I don’t think that is the case, and the stats back that up. Wilson had 11 rushing attempts last night, compared to an average of 11.56 per game last year (in the 9 games where he played [...]

Sunday, August 23, 2009
We link to lots of J.P.’s stuff, because he’s interesting and fair in his coverage and analysis. Today, we have another reason to link him, as he has NC State as his pre-season #24 team: 24. N.C. State (6-7): If the Pack can figure out the start, you know Tom O’Brien has the closing kick [...]

Friday, August 14, 2009
Just a ton of football this week as practice hit high gear. As opposed to taking the time linking to all of the different items out there I am going to just turn your attention to Yet Another… as well as Backing the Pack. Both of these blogs have done a good job of maintaining [...]

Friday, August 7, 2009
This is the final part 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 [...]

Wednesday, August 5, 2009
Two interesting tidbits from today. The Associated Press is reporting that Former NC State Football Coach Lou Holtz is considering a run for Congress in Florida for the GOP. ORLANDO, Fla. — Former N.C. State football coach Lou Holtz is mulling a run for Congress in Florida as a Republican. The Associated Press reported that [...]

You just can’t do any better work than this. Please go read the article and support work that is this good. This is the kind of work we strive to do here…but quite frankly, it is very difficult to go so deep when you are a non-revenue site and operate as a hobby for a [...]

Monday, July 13, 2009
Much like our previous breakdown of the entire Atlantic Coast Conference, today we’ll take a look at the 2008 Wolfpack with a focus on trends and issues that are likely to carry over to the 2009 version. I actually starting planning this article during the 2007 season, when I was rudely awakened to just [...]
