After Saturday’s 41-10 loss to NC State, Deems May had this to say on Taylor Zarzour’s WPTF post-game call-in show: ‘They won’t even be in our league soon. […] With the way our recruiting is going we’ll be challenging teams like Viriginia Tech for the ACC Title. […] State College will be lucky to get […]
It Was The Sweetest Of Days In Chapel Hill
It was the sweetest of days Saturday for Wolfpack fans: a State team whomping on UNC at will, Carolina fans heading back to their cars and the good ole “Wolf” “Pack” cheers rattling off of the aluminum seats that the so-called best fanbase in the country left behind. Basically State ran Carolina off of their […]

…And Then You Win By A Little…
Bobby Bowden first remarked that programs that are improving first lose by a little, then they win by a little. We remarked after the near-win against Boston College that the Wolfpack was close — that they lost by a little against the Eagles, 38-31, in a game where the NC State defense could not make […]
ORLY? (Updated @ 1:20pm)
This sort of thing drives me crazy: unsubstantiated speculation that is 100% paradoxical to reality. From a (supposed) ‘professional journalist’: Fox/Goodman: 65 Things to Watch For This College Season Three ACC coaches — Maryland’s Gary Williams, N.C. State’s Sidney Lowe and Florida State’s Leonard Hamilton — are feeling a little heat to win. My guess […]
O’Brien Expects Russell Wilson To Keep Playing Two Sports
This is hardly a surprise to most of us: Russell Wilson will keep playing both baseball and football for NC State for the foreseeable future.

State rather than Memphis or Baylor. But he said even if […]

Let’s Hope That This Isn’t A Sign Of Things To Come (Again)
We will have a little more on basketball in the coming days, but one thing from the Red-White hoops game in Reynolds from the weekend jumps out at me: Charlotte Observer/Raleigh N&O: Red and White Game [Fans at the Red and White game] didn’t get a chance to examine the game of slimmed-down Brandon Costner, […]
Bilas on Lowe: “They’ve Just Got To Give Him The Time”
There’s nothing like saying the same thing three or four times in the same paragraph to make a point: Bilas: Lowe Just Needs Some Time “But I think Sidney (Lowe) is a good coach, and I think every guy needs some time. And he hasn’t had that yet. I’ll tell you one thing, when they […]
