You have to hand it to the ol’ ball coach. He managed to do what nobody could in 2008 – stopped Russell Wilson cold. When asked by the media afterwards how he managed to bottle up Wilson like that, Spurrier exclaimed “We’ve got athletes!” That they do. But what almost nobody is able to to […]

NC State vs South Carolina Game Thread & Special Spy Pictures from Columbia
We want to thank our spies in Columbia, South Carolina who were kind enough to send us this never before seen picture of the South Carolina Gamecocks’ bus rolling towards Raleigh. Thanks so much (to our Clemson friends!) I find it interesting that the Wolfpack started the week a -3.5 point favorite and saw that […]
Fear and Loathing* in Carter-Finley
This time tomorrow, it will be gameday. For the first time in several years, disaster doesn’t seem imminent. The players are confident. The fans are confident. Hell, the weather is even going to be perfect. Doesn’t that scare the crap out of anyone else? At NC State, we are always the most confident before impending […]

It’s said that apples never fall far from the tree, and in this case, the it’s a proven fact: the son of News and Observer columnist Barry Saunders (whom you might remember for fabricating stories about chants in the RBC) had this to say about his Gamecock’s game in Carter-Finley next Thursday night: “I’m going […]
Best fans sellout season tickets – AGAIN – in midst of economic recession [Updated 12:45pm]
Shhhhh! I’ve got some secrets. The NC State football program has had only one winning season in the last five years, when the Wolfpack posted unspectacular 7-5 record in the 2005 season that we mustered more than 24 points only once (when we scored 54 points on Eastern Kentucky in the second game of the […]
Atlantic Division Preview – The Case Against…Boston College
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. Previously, we talked about Clemson, Florida […]
Giglio’s Top 25 (Pack at #24)
We link to lots of J.P.’s stuff, because he’s interesting and fair in his coverage and analysis. Today, we have another reason to link him, as he has NC State as his pre-season #24 team: 24. N.C. State (6-7): If the Pack can figure out the start, you know Tom O’Brien has the closing kick […]

Coach Sheridan Returns to Raleigh
Coach Sheridan was at practice the other day after visiting friend and Wolfpack family member David Horning who is dealing with some complicated medical issues. First and foremost, our best wishes and prayers go out to David Horning and his family. Back in 2007 O’Brien had Sheridan come speak to his first High School Coaches’ […]
