Checking in on Mario (&, of course, Reggie Bush)
We might as well turn some attention to Mario Williams tonight while we are talking about the success of some other Wolfpackers in the NFL. ESPN’s Seth Wickersham checked in on improving Mario Williams in his Insider Blog today. If you have ESPN Premium access then you will enjoy the detailed read that ends with […]
Post GT Game Fallout
We will post more during the day, but we thought we would get everyone started with Ned Barnett’s article. RALEIGH – If N.C. State was playing horseshoes instead of football, it would be among the best in the nation. This is a team that’s expert at landing close. Unfortunately, there are no points for leaners, […]
23<24<31 NC State Drops 4th Straight (Updated)
Boxscore| Recap| Drive Chart NC State’s offense only manages 9 points and (once again) the Wolfpack fails to break the 24 point barrier in a Homecoming loss to Ga Tech. With three games remaining on the schedule, NC State must win out to qualify for a bowl. After almost seven complete seasons, the following is […]
Point of Comparison
One key item I use to identify a well-coached team is situational awareness and execution. Today, I saw the perfect microcosm of what kind of smart, disciplined football I want to see – and it made NC State’s end of half/game management (BC miracle notwithstanding) look abyssmal by comparison.

Trestman Follow-up x3
It was only a few weeks ago that it seemed as though NC State’s Offensive Co-ordinator, Marc Trestman, was really coming into his own as a play caller and leader of the Wolfpack’s offense. We talked about it in this great entry. But it doesn’t take long for that tune to change after a couple […]
Technician: Something Has To Change
Even the students are starting to get antsy. “We haven’t beaten anyone this year.” “It doesn’t matter who we play, we’ll lose anyway.” “N.C. State is way better than us.” Before Saturday’s football game, that is all I heard from Virginia fans. Well, Virginia fans, you just beat N.C. State. Sure, it’s not a huge […]
