What a prediction!! Good old Lee Fowler and NC State. Reactive. Never proactive. Is it so much to ask that they get something right the first time? N.C. State athletics director Lee Fowler said Thursday that there should not be a shortage of bottled water for Saturday’s football game against Louisville. Spectators at last week’s […]

NC State Reaches 8 Knee Surgeries
O’Brien said two knee surgeries this week will bring the team’s total to eight for this season. “I didn’t have eight knee surgeries in the last three years (coaching) at Boston College,” (SFN Note: Welcome to NC State!) O’Brien said Wednesday. Fullback Pat Bedics was scheduled for surgery Wednesday, and his status for the rest […]
Thank You, Mr. Tudor: Great State Fans
“N.C. State’s fans are among the most patient and loyal in all of college athletics.” That hardly qualifies as breaking news, but it’s worth repeating in the wake of a couple of issues — fans leaving early and the coach’s frank comments.” As we’ve said many times in the past…when Caulton Tudor gets something right, […]
Tackling
There have been a number of comments made in the various threads here about State’s tackling or the lack thereof. Since I’m currently in exile in Northern Ontario, I haven’t seen the last two ball games (though the evidence suggests that I haven’t missed anything worth remembering). No one lists missed tackles in official stats, […]
Technician: Passing Out Not An Option
See our previous entry with commentary on this topic by clicking here. As the N.C. State football team was falling to Clemson Saturday, there was an even bigger problem in the stands — dehydration. This problem was not confined to just a few people. Approximately 100 people had to be treated, with six having to […]
Hot Weather Causes Health Problems at N.C. State Game (Updated Sun)
Raleigh — About 100 people at the N.C. State game, and 11 who played defense at Carter-Finley Stadium were treated Saturday afternoon for heat exhaustion and dehydration. It was definitely HOT today…but, I’ve been to much hotter. However, I have never been to a game this hot with an organization where the ENTIRE STADIUM was […]
Weekend Homework Questions from SFN
SFN Weekend Homework. We thought it would be fun to see everyone’s answers after a humiliating defeat: 1. How many games will NC State win this year? 2. How will NC State fare against ECU and UNC? 3. How well do you think game day operations are run at the stadium 4. This is the […]
State/Clemson Live Blogging
11:55: Here we go, folks. 15 minutes from kickoff. I just finished delivering my last set of sold tickets (the hot and muggy conditions made me feel better about the family’s grounded status), and I don’t feel any more optimistic than last night. Still, I’m wearing the hat that is 1-0 (bought prior to the […]
Clemson Pre-Game (and Live Blogging Likely to Follow)
Well, thanks to the virus making it’s way through my children, I will be watching from home tomorrow, and thus likely to live blog. Lucky you, huh? Speaking of which, I’m looking to sell 2 pairs of tickets in Section 27 (each with a parking pass) – leave an e-mail in the comments if interested! […]
Markus Kuhn Gives State German Flavor
The Weinheim Warriors’ loss has quickly turned out to be N.C. State’s gain. Markus Kuhn wasn’t often mentioned when the Wolfpack’s most recent recruiting class was discussed. But after just three games, the native of Weinheim, Germany, is slated to start this Saturday when N.C. State (1-2, 0-1 ACC) welcomes Clemson (3-0, 1-0) to Carter-Finley […]
