I have been making this observation for a while, but just recently decided it was appropriate to publically hash out. For some time I have been convinced that NC State is actually a much better ball club than what it appears to be. As a baseline, I am going to compare NC State to rivals […]
Benchmark Sidney Lowe: Can He Recover?
If nothing else, this should be therapeutic for NC State fans after last night’s 75-66 loss to Boston College. Sidney Lowe finds himself in mid-season at 11-5.  This isn’t necessarily a terrible record (well… it is sort of) unless you consider that our largest winning streak has been a 5-win streak over teams with mostly RPIs of […]
BC Hoops Preview (Tues 1/11, 9PM)
As NC State’s first true challenge of their ACC schedule, I thought it would be nice to see what we’re up against in Boston College this Tuesday at 9PM (broadcasted on ESPNU). Record: BC is current 2-0 in the conference with wins over Maryland (79-74) and Georgia Tech (86-75). Both of these wins are pretty […]
Why Skeptics of Tom O’Brien Should Feel Better
Note: This article was written earlier, but compliments StateFanNation’s summary of the N&O article on Wolfpack’s patience with TOB. This only serves as an explanation for why those skeptical of Tom O’Brien should feel more comfortable about his coaching tenure to date and is written from the perspective of a self-described Tom O’Brien critic. It […]

Composition analysis of UNC’s Board of Governors
Before we get going, I strongly suggest that you ‘set the table’ for today’s entry by reading this fantastic piece that should be mandatory of every taxpayer in the state of North Carolina. If there is one thing the current athletic cheating and academic fraud scandal at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill […]
Davis on 620AM: ‘How Should I Know?!’ [3:00P UPDATE]
UPDATE AT BOTTOM OF POST In the work lag due to the impending doom falling from the sky, I got a chance to hear the Butch Davis interview with 620AM’s Sports Talk. Well… I say interview, but that implies one individual is asking questions and someone else is answering. From what I heard, the totality […]
The North Carolina Football Family: Rivals Resolved into Siblings
And now for some mid-week, light-hearted football humor. The following comes from coach13 in our StateFans Nation forums. Often the lines between various North Carolina football programs becomes obscured by the media and by delusional fans. Coach13 did an excellent job describing how the major North Carolina football programs can be related in terms of […]
The Next One
“It’s the most important game… Game 1 was the most important. Game 2 was the most important. Now it’s Game 3. It’s just the next game, simple as that.†These are the words of Kobe Bryant in June 2008 during the Laker’s series over the Celtics. I hate NBA ball as much as the next […]
The NC State-UNC Rivalry and Why We Care About UNC’s Problems
This post was written before the UCF game but due to scheduling SFN decided it best to move the publish date to September 20.  Enjoy. During the course of the UNC fiasco, it’s been asked by NC State fans and Carolina fans alike why Wolfpackers are concerning themselves with the Tar Heels’ problems. So far, […]
