The myth of State Fan only caring about beating UNC came back to life today in the News and Observer’s ACC Today blog, this time coming straight from an NC State fan’s mouth: Inside Carolina editor Ben Sherman said that since September, UNC fans’ attention on his independent Tar Heels-devoted site has turned to their […]

A Player’s Remembrance of Lou Holtz, Bo Rein And NC State Football
This story was originally posted by Cowdog in our forums, but it is simply too good to not be promoted up to the main blog. It’s not often that fans get to hear the stories of the inside workings of their favorite team from the players themselves and in their own voice, but that’s exactly […]
DT to present MJ at HOF
For any of you younger set who just can’t grasp what you’ve been told regarding David Thompson and his influence on the game of basketball, the news that Michael Jordan has chosen Thompson to present him at his Hall of Fame induction should help bring you a long a bit. As usual, Caulton Tudor shows […]
N.C. State’s Tradition Coordinator – Who knew???
After posting (erroneously – sorry and thanks!) about the Pep Rally that will be held at Harris Field on Wednesday night, I was contacted by the Director of Traditions for the Alumni Association Student Ambassador Program. Call me disconnected if I’m the only one without knowledge of this group, position and/or effort by the University. […]
Coach Sheridan Returns to Raleigh
Coach Sheridan was at practice the other day after visiting friend and Wolfpack family member David Horning who is dealing with some complicated medical issues. First and foremost, our best wishes and prayers go out to David Horning and his family. Back in 2007 O’Brien had Sheridan come speak to his first High School Coaches’ […]
Cheap Seats Football Retrospective: Part II, 2000-06
This is Part II of a five-part series that is by no means intended to be authoritative. Rather, it’s nothing more than an incomplete, inconclusive, sometimes erroneous, while always biased retrospective of recent State football history. Part of this was based on nothing more than my attempt to answer the question so many of us […]
Cheap Seats Football Retrospective: Part I, The 1990s
Back in March of this year, any column I would’ve written could’ve only been titled “Why I should’ve gone to [insert SEC school here].†As I left Tobacco Road on Glenwood Avenue after watching yet another State basketball season mercifully end – like so many years before it – on the Thursday of the ACC […]
1974 NC State – ACC’s All-Time Best Hoops Squad (and more glory years items)
We ran across a couple of recent news items that take us back to a happier time… First, this article takes a pretty fascinating look some of the greatest recruiting classes in NCAA Basketball history by using John Calipari’s current recruiting class at Kentucky as a launching pad. Some interesting candidates are proposed in the […]
Very Cool: New Mexico State Will Feature 2nd Engineering Battalion Logos On Their Helmets
I am a firm believer that the men and women who serve their country in our armed forces don’t get enough of our respect. In my view, they don’t earn enough for the jobs they do, their benefits could be better and certain quarters take our freedoms that they preserve for granted and that folks […]
Stat of the day
This season marked the 35th anniversary of NC State’s 1974 National Basketball Championship (that, evidently, the NCAA forgot about). This link will take you to some recent related content about the topic. A friend of ours passed along the following observation that we thought we would share: I wonder what the RPI of the 1973-1974 […]
