Who Didn’t See This Coming?
Over the years, many different debates on NC State Message boards have traveled so many tangents that it became hard to remember the original premise & topic.

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 […]
Another Pathetic Performance
I had hoped my first entry to SFN would be on a happier occasion, but such was not to be. After State’s abysmal performance Saturday night, there is not a lot to be happy about.

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 […]
Mel Kiper, Jr. on NC State
Once more, while out driving and listening to XM radio (around 8:50 last night, bringing home Chinese food), I heard a major national figure unexpectedly talk NC State football. Draft guru (and generally astute football analyst) Mel Kiper, Jr. said 2 interesting things: 1) Chuck Amato deserves “another year” to see what he can do […]
