The Wolfpack men’s hoops team takes back to the hardwoods tonight to battle Florida State in an ACC contest. Confidence in State is not high right now in the fanbase, which has been conditioned to expect sub-par play (to put it kindly) from the backcourt and certain lack of fire from upperclassmen front-court players. In […]

Media Watch: The Pulse Of The Wolfpack Fanbase; CNNSi Cheerleader of the Week
A couple of interesting things in the media for you: Dessert before dinner: we don’t often talk about the cheerleading or dance squad teams here at SFN, but these folks work hard to represent NC State well, and in the case of the cheerleading team, are former national champions. In short, there’s a lot more […]

After yesterday’s predictable, yet still somehow heartbreaking loss to Florida, all that remains is ACC play (barring a shocking loss to NC Central, which is currently 0-16 and 347th out of 347 teams in the Sagarin ratings).

Jimmy V’s Farewell Speech In Reynolds
Jimmy V Week is underway on ESPN, and while my wife and I were out at dinner, we saw V’s incredible speech at the ESPY Awards in 1993 replayed on the World Wide Leader. It was moving, as always, but the farewell speech I remember the best from Jim Valvano was one far more direct […]

Bob Gibbons Has a “Gut Feel” That John Wall Picks NC State

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 […]
