Well, it’s official – the career cycles of former Wolfpack tailback T.A. McLendon and former Ohio State freshman sensation Maurice Clarett have reached perfect harmony – neither back made it through their initial NFL training camp . We can all remember the parallels – each player shooting up their team’s depth chart as true freshmen, […]
Ticket Demand Strong for VPI
Last year, Ohio State visited Carter-Finley Stadium for a non-conference football game against NC State in the middle-to-end part of September. The game brought with it inflated ticket prices that had never previously been seen for an NC State game with some tickets fetching in excess of $250 each on EBay. This year, NC State […]
Quote: State fans have Delivered
“There is no doubt. NC State fans have to be stretched pretty thin because they have been asked to dig into their pockets big time and they have delivered. That is a tribute to both Coach Amato for kinda rallying the troops and also the fans because all of that new stuff – that beautfiul […]
Maddox to IR
Former NC State safety, Andre Maddox has been placed on injured reserve after tearing ligaments in his knee on Friday night in an NFL exhibition game against the New York Giants.

ESPN Gameday Preview
ESPN’s “Gameday” College Football Preview show aired Saturday. If you didn’t see it, then you didn’t miss too much as it was about what you would expect. A few quick notes: (1) The “tease” at the beginning of the show – that has taken the form of music video in recent years – was set […]
Anyone else tired of USC?
Is there any top ten team in the country or any BCS team for that matter that wouldn’t trade schedules with USC? (Note the Big East is not included in my definition of BCS conferences.) The consensus seems to be USC’s two toughest games are at Arizona State and at Oregon. For those of you […]

Mr. Smith: “Pack to be Darkhorse”
About a month ago, I got an email from a professional colleague who was forwarding an email from one of his friends who is originally from Texas – also known as football country. Let’s call the author of the original email, “Mr. Smith”. Mr. Smith currently lives in Big 10 country in the Midwest. Each […]
National Blogpoll Released
At the end of last week, we posted the Preseason StatefansNation.com College Football poll on the site. (One day very soon we will be able to turn our comments back on and you can tell us how crazy we are.) SFN’s poll is also a part of the National BlogPoll that was released yesterday. We […]
State Strongly Represented in Harris Poll
As if Buddy Green wasn’t enough throwback for one morning…Steve Czaban also made an off-handed reference to former NC State football coach Dick Sheridan when he was criticizing the new Harris Interactive BCS college football poll. I don’t know how much that you know about the Harris Poll, but basically, “it will rank the top […]
