GT Game / Potential Semi-Live Blog
We have company this morning, so I don’t know when I will post updates, or how often. Clearly, this is the biggest game of Tom O’Brien’s tenure. A win here could catapault NC State into legitimate contention for the Atlantic Division crown, along with Top 25 honors. A loss, and it’s TOB’s fourth consecutive 0-1 […]

Potential Football Trends
I usually wait until about the half-way point of the season and start looking for interesting trends for State and in the ACC. But let’s shake things up a little bit and look for things that might (or might not) turn into trends to follow this season. I’m going to start with a few things […]

Pack loses Kuhn for weekend
The injury report is out for the Wolfpack, and it includes an unexpected key loss on the defensive line (the last place you want to have a loss when playing against Georgia Tech). N.C. State will have to face Georgia Tech’s vaunted rushing attack without one of its better interior defensive lineman Saturday afternoon. Defensive […]
EDSBS Translates Coachspeak for Tech’s Paul Johnson
In his weekly interview with reporters prior to the upcoming NC State game, Paul Johnson was busily speaking in his native tongue of “coach-speak.” No problem with that, of course, pretty much every coach does, as well as most every player who’s used to having a reporter’s microphone stuck in his face. Coach-speak can be […]
Sagarin Picks the Pack to Finish 9-3
Jeff Sagarin has predicted NC State to finish 9-3 in the regular season and to come in second place in the ACC’s Atlantic Division in his weekly college football rankings. Sagarin has the Wolfpack ranked #36 in his listings, which is about the same place that State sits in other polls. Calculating out his predictors […]
Enjoying 3-0
The walk out of Carter-Finley back to the Trinity Lot is a lot more enjoyable after a win. Sure, that seems obvious, but with all the pronged “reviews†going on over at The Flagship lately, it’s been easy for us tortured State fans to overlook the fact that TOB has this NC State football team […]
Wolfpack Rolls Past Bearcats 30-19
It was a nearly perfect night for NC State and its fans: great late summer weather for tailgating, followed by a resounding Wolfpack 30-19 victory over the favored Cincinnati Bearcats inside the friendly confines of Carter-Finley and a national ESPN television audience. With both its offense and defense running like well oiled machines, it was […]
