On March 7, 1970… Unranked NC State defeated Frank McGuire’s 3rd-ranked South Carolina Gamecocks in double overtime by a score of 42-39 to win Atlantic Coast Conference Championship in the Charlotte Coliseum. South Carolina had achieved immortality by compiling an undefeated conference record of 14-0 in the regular season. The loss kept the Gamecocks [...]

Unfortunately these days, some people have forgotten the simple social graces and how to act civilly to one another. Or worse, their parents never taught them (as we say in the south) how to act. Many excuse poor behavior with a dismissal that goes something like “it happens everywhere, so what do you expect?” Worst [...]

I’m still licking wounds and dealing with depression from Thursday and I just want to turn my attention forward. So, we are NOT going to re-hash all of the post-mortems from Thursday night. The Wolfpack should have no problem heading into the Pitt game on September 26th with a little rust worked off [...]

You have to hand it to the ol’ ball coach. He managed to do what nobody could in 2008 – stopped Russell Wilson cold. When asked by the media afterwards how he managed to bottle up Wilson like that, Spurrier exclaimed “We’ve got athletes!” That they do. But what almost nobody [...]

We want to thank our spies in Columbia, South Carolina who were kind enough to send us this never before seen picture of the South Carolina Gamecocks’ bus rolling towards Raleigh. Thanks so much (to our Clemson friends!) I find it interesting that the Wolfpack started the week a -3.5 point favorite and saw that [...]

This time tomorrow, it will be gameday. For the first time in several years, disaster doesn’t seem imminent. The players are confident. The fans are confident. Hell, the weather is even going to be perfect. Doesn’t that scare the crap out of anyone else? At NC State, we are always the [...]

It’s said that apples never fall far from the tree, and in this case, the it’s a proven fact: the son of News and Observer columnist Barry Saunders (whom you might remember for fabricating stories about chants in the RBC) had this to say about his Gamecock’s game in Carter-Finley next Thursday night: “I’m going to [...]

What is about YouTube spoofs on South Carolina that are just so fantastic!? Of course, no one can forget Hitler: Facist warmonger, number one Gamecocks fan. Now we have the following:

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 [...]

Rather, it’s nothing more than an incomplete, inconclusive, sometimes erroneous, while always biased retrospective of recent State football history.

In a few days we’ll renew our rivalry with South Carolina after a nine year hiatus, which is a real shame because it’s a fun rivalry that should be played annually. It would never be the Red River Rivalry or the Cocktail Party, but it’s a mutually-beneficial opportunity to capitalize on a spirited and [...]
