Time is flying on me and I am becoming old faster than I would ever have imagined. So, now that I have blinked and my little boy is nine-years old I am realizing how many times that I’ve had to try to drill the same messages into his psyche regarding good sportsmanship and using some […]
And so the Pack’s biennial trip to Winston-Salem, with a superior team in tow, is upon us once again. Nobody needs to beat that particular statistical dead horse and/or remind any of us with a pulse what this trip has meant of late. Bottom line…any Pack fan younger than 14 was not alive the last […]
The Pack is off, so settle into that recliner. Here are the Week 7 games I will be paying most attention to: WVU/Baylor Lville/FSU Bama/A&M MSU/Michigan Florida/LSU USC/Notre Dame Arizona State/Utah BC/Clemson Wake/UNC
If — after that miserable showing in Blacksburg — you’re looking past the bye week for some kind of promise for this season, then I envy your naïveté. For those of you seeing promise in the 3-0 Wake win at Boston College, just remember that Pitt beat Virginia Tech 10-7 last week. After the desperately-needed […]
Not gonna lie. I’m packing for the beach and forgot about putting this entry up until about an hour ago while I was in line at the ABC Store. I’m at least 50% confident that the timing of my realization was coincidental, and that I have no Pavlovian link to NC State athletics and alcohol. […]
Here are a few interesting attendance percent capacity numbers after week 5. State fell off a little bit down to 99.23%, 2nd in the ACC and 22nd in the Power 5. There are 66 Power 5 (plus Notre Dame & BYU) schools, 7 of the bottom 11 are ACC schools (UVA, Pitt, Miami, Duke, BC, […]
Alternate title: Minimalistic Game Thread to Honor thy Glorious Fatherland and Boost Proletariat Mojo. Wolfpack Football(4-0) has put the salad portion of its schedule behind it and this week will attempt to begin feasting on the meat. This week’s meat: Cardinal, rare…hold the hookers. (and mopeds too, to be fair). 12:30pm on the Big Five. […]
Although this College Football Saturday is not the crème de la crème of the season, there are some interesting games on the schedule worth highlighting here in this entry designed to be a central spot for you to communicate during the day. You can click here for a comprehensive, yet easy to read schedule of […]
With the recent attention to the amount of visible aluminum at a couple of local stadiums as well as discussion about the decline in college football attendance, I thought I’d take a look at some early season ACC attendance numbers. Some observations: Compared to percent capacity from the 2014 season, attendance is down 23% at […]
NC State football is now 41-19 in season openers since the ACC’s inception some 60 years ago. Coach Doeren’s win over Troy advanced him to 3-0 in openers with the Pack and 4-1 in openers in his career when you include Northern Illinois’ loss against Iowa in 2012. It is interesting to consider some of […]
