And You Thought NC State Celebrated Mediocrity

Monday, June 1, 2009

22 Comments

Apparently this ad was published in Columbia’s newspaper, The State, and it celebrates the mediocrity of the South Carolina Gamecocks. Not even NC State revels in mediocrity like this (and we all know that is saying something). The plan is for their football team to be one game under .500 at the end of the [...]

SoCar Coach Says He Games Recruiting Rankings

Tuesday, May 26, 2009

27 Comments

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 [...]

NC State opens this year against South Carolina, in a game that may well set the tone for the early part of the year: get a win against an SEC opponent to open the season, and the Wolfpack has set the table to possibly go 6-0 in their first half of the year. That in mind, [...]

Football Friday (Updated 3:20pm)

(The following entry was originally logged by BJD and then “piggybacked” with more from Jeff.) * First, I don’t know squat about William & Mary. I assume this is a team that 99% of BCS opponents would beat easily, so we must have at least a 50/50 shot. Know something about the Tribe? Put it in [...]

Brief Synopsis of the Sucking

- It took less than a half for NC State to break Russell Wilson. No way, no how can we risk playing Mike Glennon this year. I don’t care if we have to play Bradley Pierson at QB. Tough question to ask yourselves – how could we justify putting Wilson’s baseball career [...]

A great rivalry is renewed tonight, for all the nation to see in glorious high definition. That said, you are about to witness a major challenge – Tom O’Brien is bringing a knife to a gunfight (thank God he’s a Marine). But we’ll be watching and hoping anyway. Set your baseline appropriately [...]

The last time that NC State and South Carolina played each other in football, the Wolfpack won. The last time that NC State and South Carolina played each other in basketball, the Wolfpack won. The last time that NC State and South Carolina played each other in baseball, the Wolfpack won. Tonight the Wolfpack tries to extend its [...]

Last night, the 11 pm ESPN ticker had a wealth of one-liners of general interest. Here are the ones that caught my attention and a few more that I’ve run across today: 1) Beecher hopes to stick as Gamecocks QB Although Beecher, a junior with the highest grade-point average on South Carolina’s roster, might make a couple [...]

Wolfpack downs South Carolina by a score of 2-1 while only allowing 3 hits for second time this weekend! Baseball America has a nice article that can be read by clicking here. In our NCAA tournament preview podcast last week, I said North Carolina State’s pitching was very good, but not great. John Manuel disagreed. I was wrong, [...]

Wolfpack downs Gamecocks! Needs one to advance to Super Regional

Sunday, June 1, 2008

Great night at the Doak as a horrendous umpiring crew still were not able to keep the Wolfpack from notching an important and impressive win over Ray Tanner’s South Carolina Gamecocks in Raleigh. In fact, this win was so impressive and so important that it will easily rank in the Top 5 wins of the 2007-2008 [...]

USC, Tim Floyd Look To Be In Trouble Over OJ Mayo (Updated 9:45am)

In a just world, USC basketball would have something in common with SMU football in the near future. The death penalty. It’s not going to happen, because NCAA bylaws don’t work that way. And besides, they’re not likely to ever again disband a program for a year after the smoking crater it left at SMU. But USC deserves [...]

NC State alum and former Wolfpack Club employee, Chris Wyrick, is on the move. In light of the diversity of experiences and connections to Raleigh, Wyrick – along with App State’s Charlie Cobb – would most definitely be leading candidates for the NC State Athletics Directorship if we would ever be so lucky as to have [...]
