Interest and excitement for Wake Forest’s visit to Carter-Finley Stadium today appears to be at a recent year low. I don’t think winning today gains TOom O’Brien anything. I think losing costs him his job. IMHO, the only ground he can ‘make up’ is by winning all three remaining games and the bowl game. Please […]

NC State Football By The Numbers – Post UVA Edition
Putting together the football statistics and rankings requires more effort than I saw on the field last Saturday against UVA so this week I will just share these tidbits and observations. Hang Onto The Football! These stats pretty much speak for themselves: 5 wins: 4 turnovers 4 losses: 19 turnovers 5 wins: turnover margin +8 […]
Football: Wolfpackers saw it coming; is there more ahead?
Tom O’Brien’s 2012 Wolfpack laid an egg of epic proportions last Saturday afternoon. The 33-6 loss to previously winless (in the ACC) Virginia is one of those losses that live with the die-hard fanbase forever — Click Here for more. No matter how perplexing, Saturday’s loss (unfortunately) did not come as a total surprise to […]
November Looms (Corrected)
Someone hacked my account last week. Those who know me well know I’m just not the reasonable, positive type, like the misguided fool who wrote under my byline tried to be. I understand the point he was trying to make (as idiotic as it indeed was). Essentially, due to the inherent, imbalanced power structure, managing […]
Homecoming 2012 – UVa @ NC State
As the N&O said, it’s crunch time for the ‘underperforming’ Wolfpack (Link) N.C. State (5-3) has been very good after a loss, 10-1 since 2010, and the Cavaliers (2-6), losers of six straight, have been bad in just about every scenario since September Virginia hasn’t won an ACC game this year. NC State has only […]
Friday Farrago
NC STATE BASKETBALL Joe Giglio (N&O) History in the remaking Tommy Burleson is an optimist. One of the stars of N.C. State’s 1974 national title team, Burleson understands just how good the Wolfpack can be in basketball. Maybe it was the nostalgia, or a tinge of wishful thinking, but Burleson left the alumni reunion at […]

November Looms
Many of us have been discussing the Carolina loss and what it means for this season and TOB’s future. Please don’t mistake me for a staunch TOB supporter, but after giving it some thought, I’m not ready to fire him just yet. I’m willing to see how November plays out first because at 5-3 (2-2), […]
Demise began long before the punt return
As you can tell, we are still too depressed to spend much time harping on the dagger to the heart that we took yesterday. I am still emotionally and physically drained. ‘Miserable’ would be the more accurate description right now. With this said, I am going to take a moment to turn your attention to […]
O’Brien plays for overtime, risks losing his job
I’m not even going to complain about the two different holding calls on the return that would’ve negated the run. We deserve to lose when we called such an AWFUL game after getting up ten points in the second half.
