SFN: The following is a special submission to SFN from a longtime reader and contributor most famously known as SMD. Letting Go of Expectations To call my mood on Saturday night demoralized would have been generous at best. While I certainly didn’t expect the Wolfpack to beat Clem or his Son, I foolishly thought we […]

Nine Years of Sellouts – What Have We Gotten In Return?
This season is the 9th consecutive where football season tickets have sold out at Carter-Finley. Here is a recent entry about selling out season tickets. For this entry, I am going to focus only on home football games. Set aside the LTRs, gas, hotel and airfare for road trips, donations to the Wolfpack Club, merchandise, […]
A retrospective of our NC State Football retrospective
We hope that you were around a couple of weeks ago to read LRM’s fantastic five-part series on a recent “NC State Football retrospective”. The series was obviously popular – as a quick click on the “Popular” tab to the right will show that all five installments of the series are amongst the 10 most […]
Cheap Seats Football Retrospective: Part V, 2009
This is the final part of a five-part series that is by no means intended to be authoritative. Rather, it’s nothing more than an incomplete, inconclusive, sometimes erroneous, while always biased retrospective of recent State football history. Part of this was based on nothing more than my attempt to answer the question so many of […]
Cheap Seats Football Retrospective: Part IV, 2007-Present
This is Part IV of a five-part series that is by no means intended to be authoritative.

Cheap Seats Football Retrospective: Part I, The 1990s
Back in March of this year, any column I would’ve written could’ve only been titled “Why I should’ve gone to [insert SEC school here].†As I left Tobacco Road on Glenwood Avenue after watching yet another State basketball season mercifully end – like so many years before it – on the Thursday of the ACC […]
The State of State 2.0 – Football
Last year I did a series of entries with summaries of ACC records and titles(Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5). This year I will be posting entries by sport and at the end of the school year I am planning on doing some overall summaries for the athletic department. I will […]
Bo Rein – Promising Start Ended Tragically
NC State’s Football program has been re-energized with Coach Tom O’Brien’s injection of hope for a nice steady climb back to respectability. The dream of this kind of future can’t help but harken names of Wolfpack-past like Edwards, Holtz, Sheridan and Rein. I don’t hesitate to say that there are multiple generations of NC State […]
