Developing and also discussed here. Russell Wilson was drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the 4th Round/140th Pick. Apparently, the Rockies love some ACC Quarterbacks as Kyle Parker was drafted earlier. Some interesting Tweets: MikeBart1434 played against NC State’s Russell Wilson, he is a freak athlete played 4 diff positions against us, also QB for […]

NC State’s secondary needs to improve, or else
The defensive secondary was just one of the major issues the Wolfpack defense had in 2009. Without major improvement before the season opener September 4, it could be the issue in 2010. Aside from the issues facing Jarvis Byrd, the secondary is simply unproven. Even with less experience on the defensive line, the front seven […]
CFN ranks Russell Wilson as top ACC QB
Not much of a surprise here (at least IMO), but still worth looking at. While Josh Nesbitt and Christian Ponder are arguably more important to the success of their teams in 2010, Wilson is an extremely talented player who has room for improvement. Nesbitt is limited somewhat by the offense he plays in and Ponder […]

Now that all the major schools have finished spring practice schedules and held some version of a spring game (each school does things slightly differently), let’s take a quick look at how fan bases across the state and country represented for their favorite squad. The Sporting News does a good job compiling attendance numbers every […]
What CJL Means To The Coaches
There’s an old Chinese curse: “May you live in interesting times.” For NC State’s coaches, these times are indeed interesting, and those coaches are not just the ones who lead the basketball program. Yesterday’s word of heralded recruit C.J. Leslie’s re-commitment to play hoops for NC State and head coach Sidney Lowe will have an […]

Spring Football’s Rising Stars
We had some pretty good spring football coverage this past month that culminated with this comprehensive entry on the spring game. The Fayetteville Observer put together this review on the Wolfpack’s spring that included the following: T.J. Graham, wide receiver, junior: Graham’s sprinter speed makes him a major big-play threat anytime he touches the football. […]
Every dog, or wolf, has its day

I got an email from one of SFN’s loyal readers following the game to let me know he had taken his “wolf” dog out to Carter-Finley to take in the festivities. I’ll let Aaron tell the […]
