Pack Pride ran a feature on NC State linebacker, Nate Irving which created the perfect launching pad for us to run our long overdue appreciation entry regarding Irving’s incredible play this season. (Link to article) The redshirt sophomore had 52 tackles last season in 11 games, including four starts at the end of the year. […]
’08 Football
41% attrition rate from 2005 & 2006 classes
Here is a good article from Rob Daniels of the Greensboro News & Record that provides some statistical insight into what we all know and are feeling – NC State’s football program is depleted of depth and currently undergoing a major rebuilding project. Hopefully our fans have begun to realize that we are in a […]
ECU gametime set for noon in Carter-Finley
It was announced today that State’s September 20th home game with ECU has been slated for a noon kickoff. The game will be televised on either ESPN or ESPN2. East Carolina at NC State Noon ESPN or ESPN2 (network selection on Sept. 14) UCF at Boston College 1 p.m. ESPNU Eastern Michigan at Maryland 1 […]
Russell Wilson Will Start at Clemson
My reaction is somewhat mixed. It seems clear from the N&O’s writeup of Tom O’Brien’s comments that the coach and I saw Beck’s performance similarly. Beck was light years better than a shellshocked Daniel Evans (last night was his worst performance in a Wolfpack uniform – and that’s really saying something). However, Beck continues to […]
Saturday College Football Open Thread
Georgia Tech will beat Boston College outright. Wake will cover against Ole Miss. West Virginia will cover at ECU.
Football Friday (Updated 3:20pm)
(The following entry was originally logged by BJD and then “piggybacked” with more from Jeff.) * First, I don’t know squat about William & Mary. I assume this is a team that 99% of BCS opponents would beat easily, so we must have at least a 50/50 shot. Know something about the Tribe? Put it […]
Beamer taking redshirt off Taylor; TOB keeping redshirt on our Glennon (updated 3:04 pm)
Frank Beamer’s decision to redshirt Tyrod Taylor instead of going with the two quarterback system that was successful last season didn’t last long. At his press conference today, Beamer announced that both Sean Glennon and Tyrod Taylor will get snaps going forward. Following Saturday’s upset loss to East Carolina, Beamer announced at his Tuesday news […]
God Almighty lashes out at State, again. Part MMXIII (Updated 5:10pm)
As usual, we State fans “will get nothing and like it!” Two noteworthy items from this week’s coaches presser: 1. Daniel Evans to start against William & Mary. 2. Anthony Hill is out with a chest injury. Link to ACCNow blog post Lord have mercy on our souls. Please. Additionally, Coach O’Brien has announced the […]
Brief Synopsis of the Sucking
– It took less than a half for NC State to break Russell Wilson. No way, no how can we risk playing Mike Glennon this year. I don’t care if we have to play Bradley Pierson at QB. Tough question to ask yourselves – how could we justify putting Wilson’s baseball career at risk by […]
Pray for Russell Wilson
I don’t care who wins or loses this game anymore. I just want confirmation that he can move his legs (Erin Andrews claims he was moving his feet). If you hear anything, please say so in the comments. UPDATE: Andrews says they are calling it a concussion. More tests pending.
