Fox Sports’ Regurgitated NCS Preview
StateFansNation is working on a “master entry” of all preseason previews of the entire Atlantic Coast Conference that we hope will be a one-stop-link for you to visit when doing your preseason reading. Relatedly, you can peruse all of NC State’s preseason mentions in football magazines by clicking/surfing the links here. We think that nothing […]
ESPN.com Insider/Blue Ribbon NC State Preview
Some of us at the site are going into the season with the attitude of “show me something”. This means that we aren’t going to over hype the season, or get to excited until we see what is on the field. ESPN.com Insider published their NC State preview yesterday. It was surprisingly optimistic. It is […]
More FBall Schedule Talk
We have a little quasi-schedule conversation going on at this link that stems from an entry we had this weekend. It’s not a huge conversation, and certainly doesn’t compare to our “master entry” regarding State’s 2006 Football Schedule that can be found by clicking here. Relatedly, Bruce Feldman at ESPN Insider has blogged an entry […]
Helmets Help Frame of Reference
A few weeks ago I saved this link to the 2006 ACC Football Schedule (by football helmets). Just this week, 850TheBuzz has enhanced the 2006 ACC Football Helmet Schedule with a downloadable schedule. You can click here for it. A lot of fans (somewhat understandbly) love to criticize NC State’s 2006 Out of Conference schedule […]

MAC vs. Big East, eh? Actually, that would be a nice city to visit. Much more fun than, say, Shreveport. But based on what I’ve heard about the Toronto nightlife, I might be a bit concerned about my players roaming the streets (if I were a coach).

ACC: “The Most Important Thing”
There is no secret that the weakest position of NC State’s football team over the last couple of years has been the offensive line (even moreseo than the quarterback position). Rivals.com extrapolates that this theme isn’t limited to NC State in this piece that also briefly previews the entire Atlantic Coast Conference football equation in […]
’06 Pre-Season Football Mags
As we mentioned a couple of weeks ago (Link), many of the 2006 pre-season football magazines have hit the stores and preseason football talk has begun in earnest! No more of this pre-mature stuff! (Update 6/13): The Wolfpacker has done a super job of summarizing the Wolfpack’s presence in all of the preseason magazines in […]
FBall Position Talk
NC State released the post-spring depth chart (Link) a couple of weeks ago. In order of “most concern” to “least concern”, the following is a list of how I feel about the Wolfpack’s different positions: (1) Offensive line (2) Linebackers (3) Wide receivers (4) Quarterbacks (5) Secondary (6) Defensive Line (7) Special Teams (8) Running […]
