No need for me to fumble a good story about an old friend. Let’s leave this one to a professional. Mr. Peeler, It’s all yours. —————————————- Nov. 16, 2016 Football RALEIGH, N.C. – Earlier this fall, Wolfpack Club assistant director Chris Combs asked his father if he would like to go with his family to […]

Pack Heads to the HVAC Dome to Face ‘Cuse
Wolfpack Football has had a tough go of it for the past four weeks. A beatdown at the hands of Louisville and a WTF home loss to BC, were bookended by close heartbreaking losses to Clemson and Florida State. Instead of being 6-3 right now (or even 7-2…up yours BC), they find themselves beaten and […]
“Homecoming Never Looked So Good” BC Game Thread
Tiers. Remember that word we all used so freely back some years ago when HWSNBN and then El Sid were at the helm of the roundball? Well guess what? It’s reared its ugly head again. The ’16 Football version of the Pack has a few things to prove if it doesn’t want to be relegated […]
Home Port Never Looked So Good
After two weeks of debilitating battle on foreign shores, a damaged, and listing Wolfpack managed to steam to safe harbor this week. However, actual safety is relative, and can only be ascertained after close introspection of the inflicted machinery, and more importantly, crew collective psyche. Shell shock, or PTSD, is real, and I must confess, […]
Basketball Doth Approach
It’s getting closer. I’m honestly not sure what to expect this year. The talent is there, but we’ll have to wait and see how it all comes together. But two Pack players are getting some big time ink. One of whom hasn’t even suited up yet. Ranking the top 100 (and one) college basketball players […]
Pack Goes to The Gates For a 12:00 Post
Ahhh…a pic so very relevant this week, too. I’ve not set one single foot on the campus of the University of Louisville. Nor, have I ventured inside the house that really sh#tty, pepperoni, mushrooms and onions built. I have, however, spent some time under the Twin Spires, a hired hand in fact. I know pizza […]
Wolfpack’s 10-3 victory over Notre Dame – a look back
H/T to Ethan Hyman (N&O) On Saturday, NC State was going to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Carter-Finley Stadium. The athletic department had no doubt spent countless time, effort, and a decent amount of money to make sure that the event was done right. And what happens? Hurricane Matthew drops over 6 inches of rain […]
The Irish-Catholics Prepare…But wait…
24:37-42 37 For just as the days of Noah were, so will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as they were in those days before the flood, eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day in which Noah entered into the ark, 39 And they did not know […]
Wake Forest Comes to Play…Rack ‘Em
Eight. Keep that number on file. It doesn’t refer to Yogi, Cal, or anyone on the gridiron as Wake Forest comes to C-F on Saturday. I’ll not say anymore, just put it in your wallet. State opens its ACC schedule coming off a bye week against an improved 4-0 Deacon squad. That week’s worth of […]
Football Schedule Analysis
Yes, I’ve finally had enough caffeine and motivation/shame to force myself to sit down and do this. For a chance (Added Note: I am omitting 2013, when Doeren simply had no chance, so much so that I had blacked it out and forgotten he had been here 3 years instead of 2, getting old is […]
