State survives Virginia Tech, ACC officiating blunders
NC State had to go to overtime because the Atlantic Coast Conference officials couldn’t monitor the free throw lane one of the most simple and basic rules of basketball. “Players not in a legal marked lane space shall remain behind the FTline extended & behind the 3-point FG line untilthe ball strikes” — Shawn Krest […]
Wolfpack Baseball Preview: 2013 Edition
I cut it pretty close, but I still managed to get to the baseball team before Friday’s opener against Appalachian State. I’ll add to this periodically; I only had about an hour to throw in tonight. 2013 should be a fun year for the Wolfpack, who return a solid nucleus from last year’s squad that […]

Gee, why do State fans complain about ACC officiating?
Anyone who has ever watched an NC State game, please tell me how many times do you think Richard Howell would get away with this? I guess John Clougherty and the ACC officials haven’t yet identified this tendency from Miami. I can’t wait for some jack ass to tell me how State should just do […]

I know that Lorenzo Charles has already been named Tournament Legend, so this now at least 2 off of our 1983 Championship team. Others joining Whitt on this […]

It’s been an interesting few weeks related to respected former NC State Head Football coaches. First, the Wolfpack’s head man for the last six years, Tom O’Brien, accepted a job at the University of Virginia that saved NC State a million dollars in buyout. It was a GREAT move by the Cavaliers to land TOB […]
Howell taking charge
WRAL has a good article about Richard Howell. “We’ve got to box him out,” Plumlee said. “Sometimes his best shot is a missed shot because he just goes and gets it and gets closer to the basket. He’s a tough player, plays physical and he’s a high-motor guy inside and around the basket.” I thought […]
Duke vs NC State for ACC supremacy
So far this year, it appears that there are two teams that are a level above the rest of the ACC (with some apologies to Miami, who can join these two if they keep playing as well as they are right now). These two teams will be meeting with first place on the line at […]
Wolfpack: 2012 Year in Review
As we all know by now, the Mayans were not correct and the world did not end. Since that day has come and past, we can look back on the highlights of the past 366 days (this year was a leap year people). In David Letterman fashion, here is this year’s top 10 list of […]
