Bill Friday: UNC Problems Part of a National Trend
Former UNC President Bill Friday, long a critic of the increasing monetization of college sports, argued that the root of UNC’s current problems are money in yesterday’s Winston-Salem Journal. That’s not money as in money paid by agents to players, or money as in money possibly paid to recruits by an associate head coach with […]
Wolfpack Rolls Past Bearcats 30-19
It was a nearly perfect night for NC State and its fans: great late summer weather for tailgating, followed by a resounding Wolfpack 30-19 victory over the favored Cincinnati Bearcats inside the friendly confines of Carter-Finley and a national ESPN television audience. With both its offense and defense running like well oiled machines, it was […]
Bill Leslie Responds To SFN Criticism
First, I grew up as a huge NCSU fan and I still pull for the Pack. Yes, I am a UNC grad and I do believe Gregg Doyle’s article was reckless. I would say the same thing if State were in this situation. We are thoroughly covering this story but I think a few more […]
NC State Ticket Office Gives Additional Tickets To Students
If Carter-Finley is a little louder tomorrow night, Wolfpack fans can thank the NC State ticket office. That’s because there will be students rather than visitors in Sections 31 and 320 of the stadium, an area nominally reserved for visitors. This will mean that student Wolfpack fans will be filling otherwise empty chairs and lending […]
Wolfpack D Slays The Golden Knights 28-21
It almost feels odd to say, but the NC State defense carried the entire team in Orlando last night, and brought the underdog Wolfpack home with a 28-21 victory over the University of Central Florida. Despite the fact that UCF is a non-BCS team, the victory certainly belongs in the quality-win column, given that it […]

In a game that might have implications for NC State football for years, the Wolfpack travels to Orlando this Saturday evening for a game against Conference USA opponent Central Florida. Why is this game so critical for the Wolfpack? Simple. State probably needs the win to be bowl eligible later on this year. Few if […]
Noted NC Politician (& UNC Alum) comments on the scandal
Joe Mavretic, the former Speaker of the NC House, recently had this blunt assessment of the problems in the Athletic Department at UNC, and his view is the polar opposite of what UNC System President Erskine Bowles stated earlier today: ” There is no need for internal investigations, or for assistant coaches to resign, to […]
Independent Investigation Into UNC Athletics Needed
It is long past time for an impartial and independent investigation into alleged wrongdoings into the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s football and athletics programs. Anyone who holds a degree from a member institution of the University of North Carolina system or is affiliated with the Atlantic Coast Conference deserves as much. The […]
O’Brien Goes Against Conventional Wisdom With 2-Deep Chart For Wolfpack Opener
NC State kicks off its 2010 football campaign this Saturday evening at Carter-Finley Stadium and there will be some new and to some, some surprising starters and first reserves will be manning key positions for the Pack: To much surprise, running backs Curtis Underwood Jr. and James Washington were nowhere to be found on the […]
