ESPN’s Page 2 is running an interesting feature – “The Greatest College Hoops Tournament” where the supposed All-Time best of 32 different schools are matched in a fantasy hoops match-ups. Unfortunately for us, the #10 Michigan Wolverines is predicted to wax #23 NC State in both predictions. The Blue and Gold give the partisan crowd […]
Lail: Welcome Back to Earth
I give Pack Pride a lot of grief sometimes for the lack of originality, creativity, and significant dearth of opinion and analysis. Even though today’s piece from Matt Lail is quite tame, it is still nice to have something a little unique to read and doesn’t focus on a 14 year old potential water boy […]
Wolfpack Hoops ‘Not Hot’ (Not Really)
ESPN.com has listed NC State Hoops as “Not Hot”. (sarcasm) Somebody pull ESPN’s press passes and let’s disregard everything that they say…or don’t say…from this point forward. Obviously, they have a personal problem with Herb Sendek because of his personality and cannot be trusted!! (realism) I don’t think ESPN was really indicting the Wolfpack’s program […]
Quote: Basketball Passion
From Fayetteville Observer’s NC State Basketball Preview: As hard as it is to believe now, especially for anyone born since 1983, N.C. State was once the program UNC and Duke wanted to pattern themselves after, instead of the other way around. The Wolfpack won two national championships and enjoyed an undefeated season during a glorious […]
EARLY Bowl Talk
The News & Observer had a nice summary today to help form some EARLY thoughts about this season’s ACC Bowl picture. About NC State, JP Giglio says: Even if the Wolfpack — 4-4 after last week’s win at Florida State — stumbles at Boston College, it still finishes with home games against Middle Tennessee and […]
BC Eagle in Atlanta Guest Blogs
A couple of days ago, BCEagle in Atlanta played host to StatefansNation in a guest blogging exchange. Today, we reverse the roles and preview Saturday’s Boston College game with Eagle’s answers. Q1: The Boston College quarterback situation has been very interesting to follow this season. What are your personal thoughts about the Porter vs Ryan […]
Scott: ‘NC State’s potential’
David Scott takes a look at the country’s most perplexing college football teams, and guess who shows up prominently on the list? N.C. STATE (4-4): If coach Chuck Amato has settled on Marcus Stone at quarterback — and if Stone justifies that decision — the Wolfpack’s defense could help squeeze two victories out of its […]
Headscratchers: NC State 20 FSU 15
Occassionally, Statefansnation will run some reviews of what we consider to be headscratching calls from NC State games. I can understand some people thinking that this feature may be nitpicking (since we won the game) and some will think it is inconsequential (because we won the game). But, why does a team have to LOSE […]
Evitmov & Simmons Highlighted
We told you that basketball is coming!! In addition to the big conversation around the 2005-2006 NC State Basketball season, the Wolfpack has had a couple of other recent mentions in the national press. * The Courtmaster calls Ilian Evtimov one of the most indispensible players in the ACC. Few players in the nation are […]
Pack vs Eagles on Primetime
Tarheel Blue has announced that Carolina’s football game against Maryland has been set for Jefferson Pilot coverage at noon this Saturday. This opens the door for NC State’s visit to Boston College to occupy ESPN2’s 7:15 time slot next weekend. As of Sunday morning at 11am….a quick check of GoPack.com indicates absolutely nothing; the Wolfpack’s […]
