NFL Wolfpackers: Philip Rivers’ extra incentive vs Wilson and the Seahawks
It was a great day of NFL action for NC State alums and their teams yesterday that included wins to advance records to 2-0 in Buffalo (Mario Williams and Manny Lawson) and Denver (Nate Irving). Last night also saw former Wolfpack defensive end, Willie Young, show some skills on national television. Willie Young with a […]
TJ Warren goes to Phoenix Suns in NBA draft lottery
Took a spin around the internet and there wasn’t a whole lot of insightful commentary around the selection and/or the Suns organization and TJ’s fit. I don’t know if that was just my poor internet search skills or my general disinterest in the NBA. With that said, the following video goes deeper into breaking down […]
TJ Warren: Pre-Draft Workouts
With the 2014 NBA Draft now only a month away, TJ Warren has been hard at work trying to show NBA coaches and GMs what he can bring. He has been training in L.A. with former UCLA/NBA forward Don McLean, alongside other draft hopefuls CJ Wilcox, Glenn Robinson III, and Elfrid Payton. “I want to […]

Mack Brown = Tom O’Brien?
Ok…maybe not. But the similarities in the way they left their programs are not as stark as one might imagine. As if the lack of talent on the Wolfpack roster wasn’t obvious enough to all who endured the awful 2013 season, the 2014 NFL Draft surely did little to indicate that Debbie Yow did anything […]

Nate Irving relishes opportunity to play in Super Bowl
With 4 former Wolfpackers playing in the Super Bowl this Sunday, it is not easy to choose sides. Do you choose Seattle, which has Russell Wilson, J.R.
