Let this one be a great testament – and therefore impactful recruiting marketing for recruiting – for Coach O’Brien and staff. Just a week ago Ken Tysiac posted a blog entry regarding the recent development of NC State’s Andre Brown into a much more complete football player. So, it is only natural that after Brown’s […]

Preparing for a Full Night of Harrison Beck
As a devout reader of the hilarious NFL Blog known to fans as KSK, I can’t help but think of their Rex Grossman posts everytime Harrison Beck enters the game – particularly this one (warning – more bad language than a BJD95 live blog that involves UNC or Duke). I’m certainly glad Beck is taking […]
BC @ State set for noon
Boston College’s visit to Raleigh on October 4th has been set for a noon kickoff and will be televised on Raycom. Let’s hope that Russell Wilson, Nate Irving and a few more of our walking wounded will be well by then to help Coach O’Brien battle his former team. As for this weekend? Well, Section […]
Complete Meltdown for USF (No Wilson, No Irving)
Here’s the link – I have very little to say except are you f-ing kidding me? Wilson, who threw three touchdown passes against the Pirates, suffered an undisclosed injury in the second half of the game but continued to play. He was evaluated on Sunday and O’Brien made the decision then to hold him out […]
Video Look at Saturday
NCSU ends BS of ECU in BCS w/ W in OT I would love to embed this video from the N&O but the “Old Reliable” (chuckle, chuckle) doesn’t share embed code in their videos. If you watch it, pay special attention to Jarvis Williams’ touchdown catch at about 1 minute and 30 seconds into the […]
NCSU ends BS of ECU in BCS w/ W in OT
Pack wins in OT by a score of 30-24. Joe Giglio of the N&O’s ACCNow did a masterful job of gradually adjusting his entries during the game to be the first with a comprehensive blog entry that can be seen here. Andre Brown’s 10-yard touchdown run in overtime capped the Wolfpack’s comeback and charged life […]
Heading into the 4th quarter, ECU 21-17
* ECU’s second touchdown of the day came on the FIRST play from scrimmage after Nate Irving left the game (probably for good) with his injury. This means that BOTH of ECU’s offensive touchdowns of the day have come when Irving was out of the game. * Dwayne Maddox, Irving’s replacement, looks lost out there. […]
Key Halftime Observations, ECU 14 NC State 7
* Is it really a surprise that ECU scores their only offensive touchdown of the half on a play that gains more yards than all of their previous plays combined on the the second play from scrimmage after Nate Irving gets hurt? * Despite Harrison Beck’s two turnovers in the first half, there is a […]
Academic Exceptions vs Walking Wounded Open Thread
Game open thread.
Potential Mass Suicide Saturday
In an amazingly tone-deaf article, Scott Fowler wants us to rejoice in the glory of today’s football possibilities. Of course, Fowler would be expected to be blissfully ignorant of the pulse of Wolfpack nation – he’s not from the improving N&O, but rather, the dogged Tarheel fluffing Charlotte Observer. This was my newspaper growing up, […]
