A Thursday night game on short rest, many questions to be answered. Will Overgaard and/or Mattes return, and shore up a questionable (to date) offensive line? Will Audie Cole continue his best Nate Irving impression? Will Nate Irving continue his best Audie Cole impersonation? Will that new HBO series about Atlantic City (starring the fantastically […]

Cincinnati Preview: The Road to Three-and-Oh!
I had the honor of talking to Scott, writer at BearcatsBlog, and discuss with him this Thursday night’s game in Raleigh against the Cincinnati Bearcats.  Aside from holding the namesake of probably the most misspelled city in Ohio, what challenges does the NC State Wolfpack face this week? My first concern (for them) was Cincinnati’s 28-14 […]
Brock’s Bytes: Cincy Week
Sorry for pushing this interesting entry down a notch, but wanted to post this today (before it got too stale) after working on it last night. Don’t want to push to gameday because I’ll be traveling this afternoon and tomorrow. Cincinnati comes in Thursday night at 1-1 after collapsing against Fresno and pulling away […]
NC State Football By The Numbers (Plus A Few News Items)
Before Thursday night’s matchup with Cincy I thought I’d share some stats from the season so far plus a few random football news items. I will try to make this a regular feature and make updates after each game. Offense Points Per Game: 38.0 High: 48 Low: 28 Rushing Yards: 131.5 Passing Yards: 228.0 Total […]
Bearcats in the sights… and TOB isn’t too happy!
WRAL posted this story this morning about TOB’s concern regarding the scheduling of the game Thursday night. That’s when he sounded a little ticked off about the timing of the game. “This is close to impossible. For what we had to do to leave tonight. You know the ACC, I don’t know why they did […]
Wolfpack D Slays The Golden Knights 28-21
It almost feels odd to say, but the NC State defense carried the entire team in Orlando last night, and brought the underdog Wolfpack home with a 28-21 victory over the University of Central Florida. Despite the fact that UCF is a non-BCS team, the victory certainly belongs in the quality-win column, given that it […]
Central Florida Live Blogging
As we told you earlier today, this game is huge for our future. The opportunity cost of failure is immense. No excuses – if Tom O’Brien is going to succeed as NC State’s head football coach, he must have a successful 2010 season. If we are to have a successful 2010 season, we must beat […]
The UCF Game Might Affect NCSU Football For Years
In a game that might have implications for NC State football for years, the Wolfpack travels to Orlando this Saturday evening for a game against Conference USA opponent Central Florida. Why is this game so critical for the Wolfpack? Simple. State probably needs the win to be bowl eligible later on this year. Few if […]
WCU vs. NC State – Semi-Live Blogging
Hello, everyone! I am cooking dinner and this is my first rodeo with ESPN3.com’s streaming video feed. 6:05 – Catamounts start inside their own 15, but pop off a 20 yard run on their first play. I think we’ve seen this movie before. Second play (QB keeper) picks up only nine! 6:10 – WCU converts […]
2010 Football and Opportunity Cost
I’m not even going to bother with any hyperlinks – all over the front page of our humble blog, or pretty much any sports site in the state – you will find copious amounts of material regarding UNC’s highly embarrassing football scandals. Where it ends, nobody knows for sure – but every sane person agrees […]
