As college football season approaches, I noted how difficult it was to pick someone to win the ACC’s Atlantic Division. On the flip side, I could easily argue the case against every team. The “slow season” for Wolfpack news is an ideal time to explore this in more detail. Today, we look at everybody’s favorite […]

2008 NC State Football Review
Much like our previous breakdown of the entire Atlantic Coast Conference, today we’ll take a look at the 2008 Wolfpack with a focus on trends and issues that are likely to carry over to the 2009 version. I actually starting planning this article during the 2007 season, when I was rudely awakened to just […]
Sunday Stuff – July 12th
====> Please no Lorenzo Brown comments in this entry. Once we get over our devastation we will post its own entry. ====> Stud outside linebacker, Kendall Moore, of Southeast Raleigh choose Notre Dame over NC State this weekend.

More concern than hope (Updated 7/7)
ESPN’s Heather Dinich has been running a series on the ACC teams called “Hope and Concern”. She penned her entry on the Wolfpack on June 30th and it can be seen by clickling here.

Update on Nate Irving
“Nate’s got one of the greatest smiles of anybody,” McCollum said by telephone after another hospital visit Monday. “He’s just a great character guy. … It’s a blessing, because he’s got another day, and he’s got a chance to make a difference in people’s lives by fighting through this.

Visit with a purpose
If N.C. State’s leadership quandary has you depressed, you can find some solace in coach Tom O’Brien’s decision to take members of the Wolfpack football team to the Wounded Warrior Battalion at Camp Lejeune. As we approach the Independence Day holiday, we wanted to go back and highlight this story and photo gallery that we […]

Irving was injured on Saturday night and is currently in the Wake Med Trauma Center with non-life […]
Podcasating football: ‘NC State is a darkhorse’
I was listenting to some podcasts on the airplane this week and heard few football items that I thought would be of interest. From ESPN’s College Football Podcast dated June 2, 2009: Mark Schlabach: “I think NC State is a darkhorse. They are not in the Top 25, but I think Russell Wilson – I […]
2008 ACC Football Review
It should be really easy to project this fall’s college football results. All we have to do is: – Assess what went right/wrong in 2008. – Subtract contributions from “graduating†players. – Add in contributions that we will see from new players. – Subtract lost contributions due to injuries. That should leave us with […]

Let’s turn to something good for a moment, shall we? On the heels of this fantastic “State of Football” entry that may have gotten lost in the recent administrative news coming out of Raleigh we’ve decided to focus a little more on some football!
