The ’09/’10 edition of the Wolfpack opened their hoops slate last night by pounding head coach Sidney Lowe’s alma mater into the Reynolds Coliseum floor, 84-42 in an exhibition game. While it would be somewhat foolish to take too much away from this game – St. Pauls is a D2 school and hardly resembles ACC […]

O’Brien Stands By Mike Archer, Blames Players (As Usual)
Photo Courtesy of photo1nc on SFN Flickr stream Tom O’Brien is nothing if not steady, apparently to a fault sometimes.  During his entire tenure at NC State, he has blamed his players for failing to execute – even in a win – and stood by his coaches. Thursday, he was back at it: “Mike’s been […]
A Player’s Remembrance of Lou Holtz, Bo Rein And NC State Football
This story was originally posted by Cowdog in our forums, but it is simply too good to not be promoted up to the main blog. It’s not often that fans get to hear the stories of the inside workings of their favorite team from the players themselves and in their own voice, but that’s exactly […]
