Updated: Since some UNC fans were wondering why the UNC ticket office informed them that the UNC allotment had been sold out, I wanted to provide the updated from the author at the Washington Times: By: pstevens All— I just sent this in an e-mail to a curious Carolina fans, but figured I’d toss it […]

NC State News – 11/12 (updated with football game article)
–Wake game story from Winston-Salem Journal “I would be surprised if our guys see North Carolina State as anything but a really good football team in the ACC — and you’d better go play if you’re going to win,” Grobe said yesterday. “I don’t think it’s going to be the trap game in the sense […]
NC State 27, Duke 17
Some quick thoughts and “good news” items: – NC State WRs really stepped it up today. Jarvis Williams made 2 excellent “jumpball” catches on deep throws. Anthony Hill made a SportsCenter caliber catch on 3rd and long, setting up his TD catch on the next play. Darrell Davis made a nice catch on the sideline […]
College Football 11-8-2008
Let’s keep BJD’s entry focused on the State/Duke game and put discussion of other games here. For some strange reason, the GT/UNC game isn’t being shown in Central VA today. I have no idea what’s up with Raycom. Is anyone outside of NC/GA getting the Raycom game or are the Roanoke channels screwing me again? […]
Duke Gameday
At long last, the Devils and Pack meet in the post-expansion era. Even though the teams have combined for just one ACC win, entertainment potential is high, and the TV folks will likely regret passing on it. Yours truly will be inside Wallace Wade, semi-live blogging as blackberry reception allows. Local media have some good […]
AD Quote of the Day: ‘Performance-based profession’

You thought we had bad attrition? or, Todd Turner is not a sports handicapper
As we highlighted in this entry last week, injuries and attrition have been a major topic in WolfpackNation over the last couple of years. Our numbers are not a pretty sight; but, we’ve surprisingly found another program that has had it worse. Of course, that program has fired their coach (who will stay on until […]
Next year’s 12th football game
At the risk of over-stating the obvious – next year is a very important year for the NC State Football program and every single leader with any type of influence over the direction of the football program. Unless the Wolfpack can string together four consecutive wins to close out the 2008 season, the program is […]

Maryland and North Carolina currently sit as the ACC’s only two bowl eligible teams, but a quick look at the conference’s standings before week 10 will show that every team in the conference – except for NC State – has the chance to ultimately control their own destiny. It is a crazy season! The loss […]
