Better late than never, we figured readers wanted to comment on the game last night. The Wolpack fall in Coach Lowe’s first ACC game against #25 Virginia but managed to impress in the process. . No doubt that the Wolfpack got tired as the game progressed, as Tom Suiter points out in this entry. State […]

With Friends Like This…
As habitues of SFN are well aware, our writers (including your obedient servant) get occasional rhubarbs from those decrying the site’s alleged “negativity” – cliched shorthand for, “writing things about NC State that fail to display blind optimism worthy of MAD’s Alfred E.

Julius Mays Update: 36 Points in Win

Mays scored 24 of his points in the first half of Marion’s home opener, matching the output of Warren Central’s entire team. Mays scored 15 points in the second quarter. We talked […]
If NC State Is Ever In The Market For A New AD
If NC State is ever in the need of a new AD, keep the name Pete Garcia, in mind. Hopefuly one day we can get rid of Lee Fowler. If you want to read about the anti-Lee, check out this article from the Miami Herald. If there was any doubt what direction the Florida International […]
