In a few days we’ll renew our rivalry with South Carolina after a nine year hiatus, which is a real shame because it’s a fun rivalry that should be played annually. It would never be the Red River Rivalry or the Cocktail Party, but it’s a mutually-beneficial opportunity to capitalize on a spirited and profitable […]

WRAL: Glennon to Redshirt (Plus SFN Analysis of QB Race)
NOTE: We expanded the “Daily Update” blurb with additional analysis. This happens when two of us write an article at the same freaking time! Tom O’Brien won’t publicly name a starter until he exchanges depth charts with Visor Boy this weekend. Harrison Beck will hold the clipboard as the #3 QB. Full article is here. […]
ACC Football Report Previews Pack
Short version – NC State’s offense sucks, its defense sucks, its special teams suck, and its schedule is hard. The only positive mentioned is that Tom O’Brien is a really good coach, and should win COY if he gets this team to 6-6. Full writeup is here. I would like to disagree, but I really […]
GoPack.com proclaims graduated quarterback will help State at receiver in 2008
We didn’t cover the re-launch of the ‘upgraded’ GoPack.com this past week despite the obvious opportunities they provided us to criticize the website for the minimal coverage that they provided NC State alumnus, Cullen Jones, after Jones was a part of one of the most significant moments of this year’s Olympic games. GoPack’s insignificant vanilla […]
Another year, another round of injuries
Un-f*ing believable. Just last year the NC State Wolfpack lost a staggering number of players to injury, including our three best offensive players – Anthony Hill, Toney Baker and Andrew Brown. This year, Toney Baker has already been sidelined with another knee surgery and has no scheduled return date; and Andre Brown hasn’t practiced with […]
Don’t Look Ethel
When I say that the title was the concluding sentence of a State football preview, I’m sure that some of our younger readers will be left scratching their heads. But before we get to that, here’s how I got to that line: My first exposure to techsideline.com came in 2004 after State beat VT in […]
Helmet schedule…get your helmet schedule…
My wife actually asked me over the weekend where was the helmet schedule for this season so that she could put it on the refrigerator. Great timing! Click here so that we can send you web surfing to get your helmet schedule for 2008!
ESPN.com profiles Russell Wilson
Read the whole article here. From this excerpt, I can tell we’re going to like watching this guy lead the Pack in the fall…which we will be doing…since we told you earlier in the week that he will be starting for the Pack: What gives Avent the confidence that his star pupil can develop into […]
Giglio Discusses Pack “Options” at QB
It’s just a small blurb from last week – Tom O’Brien discussing the five potential starters at QB. It’s not really an embarrassment of riches, as past performance or inexperience means that all candidates come with question marks. But it’s really an academic discussion. Russell Wilson will start, and barring injury or extreme ineffectiveness, will […]
Football news – Depth chart released; Pack picked last; etc…
Not much time today for commentary, but here are several links to stories that came out of the ACC’s annual football kickoff in Greensboro, Ga. this past weekend. If you find other good stories out there, then please link them in your comments so they can be added later in this section. NC State picked […]
