SFN has provided quality commentary on NC State Athletics for the better part of a decade. And along the way, it’s been a labor of love. There’s not a single person on the editorial board of SFN that accepts a salary. We all have day jobs and families and, when it comes down to it, [...]

Now that football season is right around the corner, I wanted to take a moment to update the community on a few things. Mobile access has returned to SFN. We had to cut it off around the time of release of the new SFN version a few months back. But it has been restored. Looks great [...]

As some of you might have noticed, we have added a polling feature to the sidebar. You can expect the poll to be updated from time-to-time to gauge our audience’s opinion on certain topics. I can also see that we have some Tarheel visitors here that are hoping that we win fewer than 5 games. [...]

Many blog sites have Google ads, and in our view, they are relatively unobtrusive and won’t detract at all from the mission of the site. Why? Basically, we are taking this step in order to [...]
