The most recent set of updates and conversations can be found by clicking here. Something that has been discussed without a lot of detail is the role and the influence that John […]
Bowl Updates
UPDATED TUESDAY MORNING, 8:30AM During our various bowl analyses last week, we stated (on Tuesday): “The Emerald Bowl in also rolls into the ACC’s rotation next year and would be an obvious fit based on conference relationships. It is being speculated that an ACC team might match-up with Utah in San Francisco.” On Sunday, our […]
7 Earn All-ACC Mentions
Congratulations all the way around!!! GoPack.com got Mario Williams picture correct and NC State placed seven football players on some kind of All-ACC team for the 2005 season. You can read about it here. My primary gripe with voting is the omission of any mention of Oliver Hoyte. Until Mario’s emergence the last month, Hoyte […]
NoRedZone Fired After One Year
Former NC State Offensive Coordinator Noel Mazzone didn’t last long at Ole Miss. He was fired today after leading the Rebels “with one of the nation’s worst offenses.” Ole Miss must have really hated NoRedZone as he still has two guaranteed years on his three year contract that pays him about $230,000 annually. Ole Miss […]
It Was a Very Good Weekend
How sweet it was to experience such a wonderful weekend in Wolfpack Athletics!!

Matt Baker: “Now we have to watch State go to a bowl game with that cupcake schedule”
Matt Baker, who won’t get to face James Madison at Kenan Stadium next year. “It’s tough. We knew it was going to be a tough road after we let the Maryland game slip away…It’s tough to not go to a bowl game. We had a tough schedule. Maybe if we get a I-AA school or […]
Amato’s Record vs ACC
Staturday’s victory over Maryland brings a close to the sixth regular season of the Chuck Amato football coaching era. Today’s win should insure that the Wolfpack will play in their fifth bowl of Amato’s six year tenure; only Dick Sheridan coached NC State teams to more bowls when he earned 6 bids in 7 years, […]
