Yes, I know. Very clunky and convoluted title. Couldn’t make it any prettier. Simply put, State got its ass kicked tonight. Why? They played a consensus pre-season Top Five team. On the road. Playing their very best (especially on defense and the glass). It happens. Prior to tonight, NC State largely took care of business, […]

January 24, 2012 NC STATE BASKETBALL Caulton Tudor (N&O) Pack-Heels game seems special again It’s been a long time – too long – since a North Carolina vs. N.C. State regular-season basketball felt as special as the one coming Thursday in Chapel Hill. Sure, the ACC is down this season. Sure again, UNC was beaten […]

Our ‘Obsession’ With UNC & Duke
Around the year 2000 when I first started my slow education of all things NC State, my father would tell me about “The Big Four” which always confused me because I couldn’t see what accomplishments or competitive edge the four universities had in common. For those who are younger (like me) and may not be […]
Syracuse Game Thread (Sunday AM Update)
This is a huge game and State can win it. ****** SFN Sunday Update This best sums up what we saw (WRAL): “Not to say that we’re arrogant, but we’re No. 1 in the country for a reason,” the senior said. “Going into someone else’s home, it’s always going to be tough. Like I said, […]
Enter the Gottfather: Instant Gratification
My favorite scene in “The Godfather” is the opening scene when an old friend of Vito Corleone is begging the Don for revenge over a few college thugs that tried to rape his daughter. Vito’s response is epic: What have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully? Had you come to me in […]
Pack overcomes 18 point deficit to beat Texas! Amazing!
-Words can’t describe what those of us fortunate enough to see just experienced. Down 18 points with about 11 minutes left in the game, the Pack staged what I think was a 28-2 run(sorry if I am off by a point or two) to beat Texas. This is exactly the type of run teams have […]
NC State, the Rejected Stone
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 […]
Wednesday Woolgathering
November 9, 2011 NC STATE BASKETBALL J.P. GIGLIO (N&O) Wolfpack’s Gottfried becomes teacher, preacher The same pejorative words and damning phrases kept coming up when Mark Gottfried asked about the N.C. State men’s basketball program he inherited. “Selfish,” “didn’t play hard,” “didn’t play together,” – this is what the Wolfpack’s new coach heard about his […]
Monday Musings
November 7, 2011 NC STATE FOOTBALL J.P. GIGLIO (N&O) Wolfpack savors satisfying win N.C. State’s locker room after Saturday’s 13-0 win against North Carolina was as loud as quarterback Mike Glennon, a fourth-year junior, can remember it ever being. Even coach Tom O’Brien gave the jubilant players an “extra hour,” along with their normally allotted […]
