Following an exciting fourth quarter comeback, the NC State defense wasn’t able to keep Boston College out of the end zone after the Wolfpack tied the game at 31-31 with about 3:30 left in the contest in today’s ACC matchup at Carter-Finley Stadium. That’s no surprise considering that BC had pretty much played through NC […]

Tomorrow, It’s All About Rewarding Faith
Almost 22 months ago, Tom O’Brien was on the verge a possible dream season – Matt Ryan’s (future Top 5 NFL draft pick, and Day One starter for the Atlanta Falcons) senior year, surrounded by a bevy of seasoned upperclassmen. The kind of team that wins league titles. The kind of team that, given a […]
Russell Wilson to start for the Pack
I hate to post this entry as I think the two entries just below this are very important and deserve your attention and feedback. I don’t know many people who really weren’t expecting this news to be released today, but it is welcome news nonetheless – Russell Wilson will start for the Wolfpack on Saturday. […]
TOB – No Clarification on Pack Injuries
Per the N&O writeup, Beck is still listed as the starter for Saturday: “We don’t know [Wilson’s status],” coach Tom O’Brien said during his weekly news conference Monday. “We’ll have to wait and see. Right now Beck is the starter, and we’re going into the week with him preparing to play.” My biggest fear was […]
ACC Power Rankings
The Atlantic Coast Conference has certainly had a topsy-turvy first month of the season. After starting slowly, the conference earned enough respect in recent weeks to move as high as fourth in comparative conference rankings. The events of this past weekend certainly didn’t help our image. (Why can’t we ever play a Wake Forest team […]
Post-Game Thoughts
* NC State took the field against a good, versatile QB and an excellent, athletic defense (justifiably a Top 15-20 caliber team, unlike ECU) without one single above-average player on either side of the ball. We could play USF 100 times, and we’d lose at least 99. * USF clearly watched film of last week’s […]
Pack/Da Bulls Game Thread
Sorry I forgot to put this up before leaving for the stadium. I blame the Benadryl. It’s already 7-0, and we will need divine intervention to compete tonight. But Beck has promised to “throw it where he throws it” – so prepare to be entertained.
Saturday Football Open Thread (Updated 1:45pm)
Naturally, when the Pack finally gets a coveted Saturday night home game…all the good TV matchups are late starts (Alabama at Georgia being the highlight). I suppose UNC/Miami is somewhat interesting, in that a loss would almost surely knock the Holes out of Coastal Division contention. And a loss really should be the end result […]
Holland credits NC State for allowing ECU athletics to stand on its own
Thanks, Terry! “both of you (Lee Fowler and Dick Baddour) have been extremely cooperative in helping us in ways that have given ECU Athletics an opportunity to stand on its own” This whole pissing match between the embarrassment that is Lee Fowler and the AD too-good-for-his-current school (Terry Holland) is too ridiculous for words. Since […]
Our Best Pitch
The following was submitted to us by our old friend, SMD. The timing of the piece was perfect as Jerricho Cotchery was featured last night in a FANTASTIC piece on ESPN’s television show, E:60. If you didn’t see it, you need to find a replay of it and watch it. It was summed up by […]
