Embarrassment vs. Missed Opportunity
As I mentioned in the (accidentally unfeatured, stupid outdated Blackberry of mine) game thread, this afternoon’s game was a prime example of why playing the Pie-rats on the road in the middle of the season (thanks, Lee!) is a bad idea. State was unexpectedly having a good season. So it became even more of a […]
ECTC Open Game Thread
I may live blog just a little bit, but my daughter has a soccer game at 1:00. Have at it in the comments. 4:45pm Update: Evidently, this thread was below the fold all day and wasn’t sent the top as it should have been. So, only our more rabid readers found it. Our meltdown is […]
ECU Tailgating – Where to park? [Friday Afternoon Update]
Some of us consider ourselves “experts” or at least fairly knowledgeable on tailgating/travel ideas for various road trips. We had a blast at the last ECU game in Greenville during our tailgate three years ago even surrounded by ECU fans in the gravel lots along 14th Street. Shaded with lots of room to spread out, […]
Great Read: Virginian-Pilot Profile of Russell Wilson
Sometimes it is dangerous to call an active college player a lock-in for legend status, but in the case of Russell Wilson, it’s an easy call. Wilson is exactly what a college student-athlete should be: an accomplished and successful college student who’s earned a degree and a talented and successful athlete on the field as […]
NC State Football By The Numbers – Post BC Edition
Here is your weekly update of NC State football stats after the Boston College game. I did not receive any payments or benefits from agents for putting this entry together and it was not written by a rogue tutor. Offense Points Per Game: 37.5 (ACC Rank: 1, Nat’l Rank: 13) High: 48 Low: 28 Rushing […]
Quick and Dirty Look at Saturday’s NCSU-ECU Game
It’s a wierd time of year to play an out-of-conference game against a non-BCS opponent, but that’s the task in front of the Wolfpack: in the middle of their ACC schedule, NC State will take a quick drive to Greenville to play Conference USA’s ECU before finishing up the season with five straight ACC games, […]
State opens a 7.5 favorite @ ECU
After opening at 6.5 points, NC State has been bet to a 7.5 point favorite at the Wynn Sports Book and a 7.0 favorite at Leroy’s (Link) for the upcoming battle with Conference USA’s East Carolina Pirates. The Wolfpack will bring its high powered offense and much improved defense into a rowdy Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium to […]
State 44, BC 17
Big win and an impressive response after the letdown last week. State is now 5-1 (2-1) and still controls its own destiny in the division. Unlike last week, State took advantage of an early 10-0 lead and never let up, executing a solid gameplan that exploited BC’s focus on the run and they played a […]
Boston College Open Game Thread
My apologies, I promised to put up the open thread, then forgot. I had to be up at 7 to shuttle kids around, so I’m uber-scatterbrained. In any event, I was going to say that a loss would effectively end NC State’s season. Fortunately, the beatdown BC has so richly deserved since Tom O’Brien left […]
