About every Monday or so, a different member of the Pack Pride and Wolfpacker message board communities will have identified a new team to which they project Philip Rivers could be traded. Well, ESPN has provided an excellent piece on Philip that is a must read for Wolfpackers. (Maybe it will help you forget life […]
Brock’s Take: Not Over, but Disappearing Fast
Personal Note: So sorry that I’ve been so lax in blogging recently. I’ve had a TON of huge life changes (personal and professional) hit over the last month. Ultimately, the changes will be fantastic for me and my family…but, in the short term they have kept me from venting my frustrations here on the blog. […]
Fowler: Unfortunately, success isn’t always a straight line
You just knew that Fowler couldn’t wait for someone at the N&O to interview him after the UNC loss. IKB (alias I know basketball) gave his “I am 100% behind the coach” quote, which is the correct thing to say at this point.

Two Programs Diverge on 9/24/05 in the Carolinas
I was struck by how Boston College’s squandered opportunity against Florida State resembled NC State’s failure to beat the Hokies on Labor Day weekend. Both NC State and Boston College looked better than their more talked about opponents, but simply couldn’t pull away. BC got in an early hole and repeatedly stalled out just outside […]
TBJ: Tar Heels top Wolfpack in athletics spending, revenue
The TBJ had a front page article on athletic spending between NC State and UNC in the current issue.
Volleyball Team Nets 64th Consecutive League Loss
When your Athletic Director won’t fire a coach that has lost 64 consecutive ACC matches do you really think he would fire one that has only lost 6 ACC football games in a row? “Coach” Fowler should have some good insight into the volleball situation since his daughter Kristin is a sophmore on the team.
The Beginning of the End
Well, today we saw it with our own eyes. There is no sugar coating things, there is no denying the reality. Chuck Amato has been revealed as a fraud, a charlatan, a snake oil salesman. We have the talent, we don’t have the heart or the guts to be a champion. And that can be […]
Around the Country
Offensive Juggernaut? I won’t say that Ron Zook would have beat Tennessee, but would his offense have been any worse that Meyer’s? Zook wasn’t a stellar coach, but in 2004 the Gators never scored less than 20 in games he coached. The first real test of Meyer’s offense against a talented SEC defense was a […]

SITE ENHANCEMENTS: UNDER CONSTRUCTION
I know that it is obvious to our regular visitors that Statefansnation is undergoing a revamp of our website. I also know that this is about the most boneheaded timing in the history of mankind. But, often times we just can’t control when certain things can happen. I plead with you to stick with us […]
