It is always nice to see the Wolfpack getting some national love and attention; so, we took the following screen shot from the front page of ESPN’s College Football page this morning. This ties nicely to this entry on Wilson and NC State Football that we featured last week.

Deadspin: New Look for Sportscenter
SportsCenter Opening Animation from ESPN Communications on Vimeo. Just thought that you would enjoy. (Link) It is a world ruled by machines; antiseptic, efficient, pitiless … like The Matrix, only without the warmth. Sports Center’s new graphics are even more curious than before.
