NC State 59, Virginia Tech 71
Sorry for the lack of live blog. Work got in the way. Post thoughts about the game along with the crappy Internet feeds you’re watching here. Check back for more later.

Wednesday, February 10, 2010
When NC State takes the court tonight against Virginia Tech, it will be exactly three weeks since the Wolfpack got its last conference win, an 88-74 triumph over Duke Jan. 20. If there was ever a time when the Wolfpack need a win, it would be now. State (14-10, 2-7) has dropped four straight ACC [...]

Link to last week’s ‘pro-style’ Monday Morning Multimedia with NC State alums Philip Rivers and Stephen Tulloch. Relatedly, Tulloch has returned to Titans’ practice after battling tendinitis in his knee. A couple of unique videos from this weekend’s action, to be sure: Chad OchoCinco Kicking Titans Punt is first of many to hit Cowboys’ Scoreboard DeMeco Ryans slams [...]

![Bad News for VT [Updated 6:30pm]](http://www.statefansnation.com/wp-content/themes/freshnews/thumb.php?src=http://www.statefansnation.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/virginia-tech-logo.jpg&h=75&w=75&zc=1&q=90){kind=logo}
Virginia Tech will have a new starting tailback in a season of great expectations after Darren Evans tore a ligament in his left knee during practice…. His loss means that redshirt freshman Ryan Williams, Josh Oglesby or highly regarded freshman David Wilson will be the starter. Only Oglesby has carried the ball in a game. Evans was [...]

Tuesday, June 16, 2009
It should be really easy to project this fall’s college football results. All we have to do is: - Assess what went right/wrong in 2008. - Subtract contributions from “graduating” players. - Add in contributions that we will see from new players. - Subtract lost contributions due to injuries. That should leave us with [...]

You aren’t looking below the features! But, we expected it. Yesterday we linked a couple of entries below the three top features – Russell Wilson and Polling – that didn’t seem to attract many views. I’m guilty, too. I missed it. It will just be something to get accustomed to. We told you in last [...]

Monday, March 30, 2009
The Wolfpack baseball team recovered from a Friday loss to the Hokies to take the series 2 games to 1 with a doubleheader sweep on Sunday. The first game, well, looked like football with a 19-18 final score. Pratt Maynard paced the offense, going 3-4 with 4 RBIs. The two teams combined [...]

One of our most viewed entries of the weekend was this vibrant entry welcoming our land grant bretheren of Virginia Tech into the Atlantic Coast Conference’s landscape. We therefore send you on a quick journey to VPI’s Gobbler Country Blog to witness the evolutionary experience of a fan into the real world. I [...]

Friday, March 13, 2009
N&O’s Joe Giglio: UNC finished the game with 21 attempts from the free-throw line (hitting 15), while VT finished 8 of 11. It’s not like VT took a ton of 3s and the totals were skewed by shot selection. UNC and VT each took 19 3s. And don’t confuse me here, I’m [...]

Sunday, February 8, 2009
If the ACC really wants to claim the “Best college basketball in the country” title, they have to fix their officiating. I won’t even go into some of the calls during the game (it’s a bad sign when both coaches are pissed off at the referees). The calls were bad enough, but they had to [...]

Sunday, February 8, 2009
For two programs on such dramatically opposite performance arcs, the head-to-head record is startling – the Pack has won 6 games in a row. For Hokie fans, it must be hard to imagine what your program might have accomplished if not for this strange losing streak. I’m sure Seth Greenburg (aka “Basketball Grobe”) [...]

Wednesday, December 3, 2008
Heather Dinich of ESPN is reporting that Virginia Tech has sold 3,000 tickets and Boston College just under 2,000 tickets to this weekend’s ACC Title Game in Tampa. This is probably due to two factors: first and foremost, the overall economy has either negatively affected people or if it hasn’t, a lot of folks are scared [...]

Apparently it isn’t just NC State fans who dare to question the leaders of their athletic department. While NC State’s athletics department has struggled as one of the ACC’s worst overall programs during the last decade, our fans have responded by supporting NC State at record levels. Conversely, Virginia Tech has actually been one of the success [...]

Tuesday, September 2, 2008
Frank Beamer’s decision to redshirt Tyrod Taylor instead of going with the two quarterback system that was successful last season didn’t last long. At his press conference today, Beamer announced that both Sean Glennon and Tyrod Taylor will get snaps going forward. Following Saturday’s upset loss to East Carolina, Beamer announced at his Tuesday news conference [...]

When I say that the title was the concluding sentence of a State football preview, I’m sure that some of our younger readers will be left scratching their heads. But before we get to that, here’s how I got to that line: My first exposure to techsideline.com came in 2004 after State beat VT in B’burg. [...]

Sunday, March 16, 2008
Naturally, UNC and Duke get cushy draws. Duke won’t play a good team before the Elite Eight. The other teams in their way? All are very weak relative to seed – #3 Xavier, #6 Purdue, #7 West Virginia, #10 Arizona. UNC doesn’t fare quite as well, despite their #1 overall seed. [...]

Tuesday, February 5, 2008
Sidney Lowe continued his mastery of “Basketball Grobe” tonight as the NC State Wolfpack won for the third time in the last four games. The Wolfpack is now 15-7 with an ACC record that now stands at .500 at 4-4. NC State never trailed in route to our second consecutive win over a team ahead of [...]

Tuesday, February 5, 2008
There’s an early (7:00) tip tonight, as the Pack takes on the Castrated Turkeys on ESPNU. Before the season started, you wouldn’t have been surprised that one team enters the contest in sole possession of third place. But nobody would have predicted Virginia Tech to be that team. After losing their best big man and [...]

The Clemson Tigers take the field tonight in the Chick-Fil-A bowl in what I think will be the ACC’s ‘defining’ bowl game of 2007. The Tigers game tonight against Auburn will only count as one game – the conference is currently a respectable 2-1 in bowls thusfar – but the magnitude of this battle [...]

Tom O’Brien’s Boston College Eagles lost ANOTHER BIG NOVEMBER game today to one of the Big East’s powers when Virginia Tech took down the Eagles this afternoon, 30-16. Wait. Check that. Despite the pre-season proclamation of Boston College fans that their Eagles would finally shed historical late-year troubles without Coach O’Brien roaming their sidelines, “Coach Jags” ultimately [...]
