Before I get into the scouting report on the Mountaineers (I figured the WV native would probably qualify for the job), this will be a hard game for me to watch. I’m an NC State grad and a die hard State fan (or else I wouldn’t be here on this site) but I can’t turn […]

A Wolfpacker’s Viewing Guide to the Bowl Season
Following up on the today’s article with a list of the full bowl schedule and how to help SFN, we want to take a slightly deeper look at the 35 games. I will take a moment now to remember Temple, who went 8-4 and was the only FBS team with at least a 6-6 record […]
Will Wolfpack Nation show up in Orlando?
There has been much discussion regarding the willingness of Wolfpack Nation to show up at the Dec. 28 bowl game versus West Virginia in Orlando. This year will be especially scrutinized after 3rd place Maryland was relegated to the Military bowl, the ACC’s 8th (in preference ranking) bowl game. Pundits have not been shy to […]
Simply, Nate Irving
NC State linebacker, Nate Irving, is going to be remembered as one of the favorite Wolfpackers of all time for many fans. Irving will be remembered for more than just joining the likes of Vaughn Johnson, Damien Covington, Levar Fisher and others as the elite linebackers in the program’s history – he will be remembered […]

Review of ACC Sports Media’s Pre-Season Picks
Good conversation and analysis happening here comparing the media’s preseason football selections to the final results. I conclude the following from a quick glance: (1) How well of a job Ralph Friedgen did coaching Maryland this year. Did you know that record-setting WR Torey Smith was a 2-star/3-star-ish recruit out of high school and freshman […]
[8:45 update] It’s Official – Wolfpack vs Mountaineers in Orlando
It’s official. This will be the third time the Wolfpack and Mountaineers have faced each other in a postseason bowl game. On Dec. 29, 1972, at the end of Lou Holtz’s first season at NC State, the Wolfpack throttled the Mountaineers, 49-12, for the biggest postseason margin of victory in school history. On Dec. 31, […]
Why bowls will pick NC State over Maryland
Over the last few years, I am very proud of how accurate and insightful SFN’s bowl selection analyses and scoop have been. You may have noticed that SFN has not participated in bowl conjecture and speculation this year. Part of the reason for our absence this year is that our author team has been severely […]
NC State vs Maryland by the numbers
NOTE: The records used remove the results of the game played by said team and the opponent (i.e. NCSU beat FSU, so FSU’s ACC record is changed from 6-2 to 6-1. NCSU loss to VT, so VT’s ACC record is changed from 8-0 to 7-0). This balances out the records since teams that had bad […]
