Joel Coliseum was half empty Saturday afternoon when the chant came echoing out of the upper deck. At the free throw line with 1:46 to play, Wake Forest freshman L.D. Williams had to double-take to make sure he was still playing in the Demon Deacons’ home arena. “For as long as I’ve been a basketball […]
David Thompson Gives Team Postgame Talk
This article is just great to read! (Additionally, you will enjoy this related piece regarding DT.) Lowe, who starred on State’s 1983 NCAA champs, invited Thompson into the locker room after the game for a few words. “The other night, I talked to the guys about the tradition of our school,” Lowe said. “After the […]
GoPack Tries to Pull A Fast One
Check out the picture of the Pack celebrating from today’s game. Oh wait. That picture in today’s article has the Pack celebrating on the sidelines while wearing white uniforms. You know, the uniforms that State wears when playing home games. As you know…State played in Winston-Salem and wore red today. Classic! Gotta love the consistent […]
Previewing State @ Wake (Updated 10am Sat)
The Pack travels to Wake Forest tomorrow in a match-up of two extremely young squads who will battle to stay out of the ACC cellar all season. The game is at noon and will be televised on your local RLF (Raycom/Lincoln Financial affiliate). I truly believe that State CAN win at Wake Forest tomorrow. If […]

Hodge Traded for Blake; No Punches Thrown
Talk about sick irony! It doesn’t getting any crazier than NC State’s Julius Hodge being traded for Maryland’s Steve Blake. The Denver Nuggets need some breathing space from luxury-tax territory. The Milwaukee Bucks need backcourt scoring to counter their injury crisis. That’s why the teams, according to NBA front-office sources, are combining on a trade […]
TOB: “The Goal is Always to win a National Championship”
Nice! Nothing ambiguous and immeasureable about “being competitive” or “improving” or “building great relationships”. We don’t mind if all of ^these items are a part of the mix and are discussed in the future…but, TOB laid the public groundwork for his program perfectly with this quote. “I think the goal is always to win a […]
We Could’ve Been a Contender…
A friend of mine passed along a link to this interesting site. If college football chose to crown it’s champ like boxing (really, is that any more ridiculous than the BCS “mythical national championship” or just freaking voting on it, like for homecoming queen?), NC State would have briefly held the title in 1999 (toggle […]

Next Year’s Top 25
ESPN has an early look at a projected Top 25 for the 2007 College Football season. (Link) Doesn’t look like folks are expecting much from the ACC next year. The highest ranked ACC team is Virginia Tech. The only other ranked team is Wake Forest. Odds are that someone in the league is being overlooked. […]
