So I have a personal blog called “RejectedStones” that is primarily a Christian devotional site. On Twitter I received a few messages from Alex Johnson who has been a supporter of my site since before he arrived in Raleigh. Naturally, this got me thinking about both my blog and our basketball team. Something then dawned […]
Blind Rage: T-1 Day Till UNC
If you don’t want to see blind, irrational hatred for our esteemed flagship university in the UNC School System, you may want to change the channel. There will be no statistical breakdown of Carolina (I lost the will to write those earlier this season), but there will be a whole mess of hate speech. Please […]
The Importance of Qualifications: Gottfried and His Staff
Ever since the hiring of Mark Gottfried to NC State, we’ve heard a few people saying “wow, what a great hire”, a few people saying “I can’t believe that it happened AGAIN” and a ton of people saying “well, I didn’t know if I liked it at first, but I guess it’s ok, but maybe […]
#21 Georgia Tech vs NC State Preview: …whatever…
Despite how this season may be turning out, here are some highlights on GT. If this analysis is a bit leaner than usual, I’m assuming everyone will forgive me for not exactly being motivated to preview too much for Tom’s 5th-year football team (I’m even avoiding calling it the “2011 NC State Football Team”). Georgia Tech […]
A Legacy of Never Giving Up (a Generation ‘Y’ Perspective)
I remember walking around in my boys-size 6 LA Lights sneakers and following my father who was sporting the ball cap with the old diamond-styled “N-S-C” logo. My father, who worked as a technical salesman for a textile company (which I still associate as the most NC State-esqe of the NC State degree-fields you can pursue), was meeting up with […]
The State of State Football (Pre-October)
“They had more energy than we did. You can’t do that, especially on the road in a conference game.” -TOB’s post-game comments after the Wake game. After the loses to Wake Forest and Cincinnati, the Wolfpack’s only two D1A games this season, a lot of people are left look at Tom O’Brien for encouragement and […]
Cincinnati vs NC State Preview: First Big OOC Game
I’m feeling much too cynical about things to really draw this out, so we’ll keep it short and let everyone comment on how they feel about the game. First, a little housekeeping… Cincinnati is spelled with three I’s and three N’s. If you can’t spell Cincinnati, just say ‘Cincy’ or ‘the Bearcats’ or ‘that other […]
UNC’s Response to NOA (12:15 AM Update)
UNC’s response can be found on the WRAL website, or by clicking here. Here are some highlights. Also check our forums for more discussion on the matter. First of all, check out the opening paragraph. It’s just so unbelievably typical for those Carolina blue-bloods that you’ll be sickened. The University of North Carolina at Chapel […]
South Alabama vs NC State Preview: Take Two
Sometimes, you just need a “Take Two” moment. You realize the first “take” maybe wasn’t what you wanted it to be and just need to go back to the beginning. Maybe the lighting wasn’t right… maybe the dialog wasn’t executed the best… or maybe your secondary just sucked to high Hell and needs a second […]
Why are NC State Fans Neurotic (a la UNC Scandal)
I always think it’s interesting that people claim NC State fans are so neurotic when it comes to their rivals, UNC. People like to claim, and some NC State fans have started to buy into it, that UNC doesn’t get any kind of special treatment. Of course not, it’s all in our heads! Luckily, recent […]
