Some great quotes and information came out of Coach O’Brien’s press conference yesterday and can be seen and heard by clicking here.

US News and World Report College Rankings Released
NC State is ranked #83. For the record, I think these rankings are incredibly biased against land grant universities, especially those that place heavy emphasis on science and engineering. That said, NC State is more than 10 slots behind #71 Virginia Tech, and more than 20 slots lower than #61 Clemson. I consider these schools […]
GoPack.com proclaims graduated quarterback will help State at receiver in 2008
We didn’t cover the re-launch of the ‘upgraded’ GoPack.com this past week despite the obvious opportunities they provided us to criticize the website for the minimal coverage that they provided NC State alumnus, Cullen Jones, after Jones was a part of one of the most significant moments of this year’s Olympic games.

Hauschka in Vikings Camp
The Fort Mill Times (Fort Mill has a newspaper? Really?) has a nice write-up on former Wolfpack kicker Steven Hauschka. Stuck behind steady, strong-legged Ryan Longwell on the depth chart, it’s unlikely that he’ll be in a Viking uniform this year.

RIP Skip Caray
Many of us grew-up listening to Skip Caray and following the Atlanta Braves from baseball’s worst franchise in the late 70s and 1980s into one of baseball’s best franchises since 1990.
