Chip Alexander has a really nice piece on Cam in the N&O this morning and I don’t want it to get lost in the post-game articles and comments that will come later today. I always enjoy seeing a Wolfpack senior have his best performances as a senior…especially one that has had to work as hard […]
What to Watch For This Weekend
First off, obviously, is NC State hosting Georgia Tech at noon on Saturday. Records don’t mean everything in this one, as the Bees are perhaps the worst 2-0 ACC team in recent history. Plus, Sendek has owned Paul Hewitt (especially at home), even during some otherwise turbulent times. Expect this one to get ugly early, […]
More RPI Fun
Thanks to a thread started by grantwolf, I was able to graph State’s RPI ranking starting in early December. Obviously the important thing is where you finish, not where you start: Graph of 2006 RPI Ranking I’ll try to update the graph linked here though this blog entry won’t move to the top when I […]
Quoting Wednesday
The N&O’s ACC Blog continues to impress me. I thought that I would just hit some quotable highlights from what’s over there right now for the archive: ===> Dave Braine is retiring as Athletics Director at Georgia Tech. I’ve always respected what Braine was able to do in Atlanta. Consider this…just in the 2004-2005 Athletics […]

Despite what I am sure were their best efforts, the Boston College facilities crew responsible for watering the artificial turf to slow down NC State’s football team was not successful in turning the lights off in the gym for last night’s basketball game. 🙂 In a no pressure atmosphere (somebody needs to teach those fans […]
YOU Guest Blog for BC
Back during football season, BC Eagle in Atlanta and Statefansnation participated in a “Guest Blogging” exchange in preparation for the Wolfpack’s match-up with the Eagles. You can see some of the exchange by clicking here. BC Eagle has emailed asking for guest blog exchange for Tuesday Night’s basketball game. Unfortunately, our time is kind of […]
A Strange View
For years, my mother would save articles from the Charlotte Observer’s sports section to show me how unevenly they covered State and UNC. Her “favorite” writer to shout about was Ron Green (Sr.) and his commentaries. My mom eventually reached the breaking point and cancelled her subscription. So I haven’t heard or thought much about […]
Fowler & HSSS Crew Wrong, State Not Capitalizing on Carolina’s Exodus
Last basketball season when Carolina, Duke, and Wake Forest were spending the entire season ranked in the Top 5 of the country and NC State was struggling to squeeze into the NCAA Tournament for the 3rd time in our “great” 4 straight appearances, one of the more credible members of the Pack Pride community posted […]
