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 […]
NCS Football
Wolfpack Football Fans Continue to Impress
It is always nice when numbers support what everyone innately knows to be true. In 2004, NC State struggled on the gridiron with a 5-6 overall record. During the disappointing year, NC State fans proved the level of their amazing support by LEADING THE COUNTRY in football attendance as a percentage of capacity! The numbers […]
Rivers Already Setting Record
Lots of talk out there about Philip Rivers starting for the San Diego Chargers this year. Exciting stuff. Here is an interesting factoid that is neither positive or negative when you consider that most teams with pro-bowl quarterbacks don’t typically have top 5 picks…nor do they typically draft quarterbacks. Fewest Pass Attempts in First 2 […]
Football Covers Everywhere
The fantastic folks over at FansBlog.com linked up this piece a while back and we were waiting for a slow time to run it — so, the day that EA’s NCAA Football 2007 hits the shelves is definitely the day to do it. (You can find lots of interesting covers in that link) 850 The […]
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 […]
Suiter: State Fans Care More About Football Than Tarheels
Tom Suiter threw up a summertime blog entry at WRAL.com this afternoon. (Link) There is nothing in it of much note, but we liked this (obvious) comment very much: Is it me or does State care more about football than Carolina?
2 Tigers & Tarheels Having a Bad Day
Today is just one of those bad days, I guess. (At least we will spare Duke lacrosse any other mention.) Let’s start local and work our way up to the bigger national stories. First, one of UNC’s finest, Marion Jones has been linked to a fraud ring in Norfolk, VA (Link). Ouch! A man implicated […]
Fair Thought…Wrong Reason
As we stated in one of our biggest and best entries of the summer: Over the next couple of weeks SFN will have some entries focusing on the tough summer that Chuck Amato is having in the national media. Then we went on to defend Coach Amato to TSN based on the incorrect premise and […]
NasCarl’s Descent
^Tell us more about how “mean” NC State fans are? Surely Dennis Franchione couldn’t find a coach to fill the Defensive Coordinator’s job at Texas A&M after the way Torbush was treated in College Station. (sarcasm) [A&M Fans even had a FireTorbush.com website.] What a tumble from inheriting the head coaching job of an ACC […]
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 […]
