With #1 and defending champion Florida State coming to Carter-Finley Stadium this weekend, an improving Wolfpack team looks to pull the upset in a place that has become what some media members call “a house of horrors” for the Seminoles. The Wolfpack has had more success against Florida State than any other conference school. For […]

NCSU vs. Clemson – The Past Decade
The past decade against Clemson has not been pretty. In fact, it seems that most matchups have been one sided with the Pack on the wrong side of the final score. When I think of Clemson, I think of a team, like Maryland, which has been a thorn in the Pack’s side. Is this really […]
NC State vs. Maryland – The Last 10 Years
As Wolfpack fans still savor the sweet victory over 7th ranked Clemson 37-13 on Saturday to end a 7 year losing streak to the Tigers, the team’s focus has now shifted onto the other arch nemesis, Maryland.

This will likely be on display for the nation tonight, as Maryland battles West Virginia. As a friend of mine noted today – how wide […]
For Your Own Good
Those are words that no kid want to hear when things are not going well. Now that I am on the flip side of the parent/child relationship, I appreciate people that have both the guts and compassion to tell someone else what they NEED, but not necessarily want, to hear. Thus this little blurb stood […]
NFL Draft Around the Corner
Draft day will be much less eventful for Wolfpack alums this year, but it’s still a wonderful, gluttonous weekend for the football junkie. I always get ready with my draft preview from The Sporting News, which is always the best issue of the year. Here’s what they say about the Pack’s likely draftees: – Tank […]
NCAA Revokes Moronic Clock Rules
It’s a rare and beautiful thing – a victory for common sense. * Sunday Morning Quarterback: Rules committee comes running back fans, sanity * The Wizard of Odds: Link In place of the nonsense, drama-killing clock rules of 2006, we get a more tailored set of measures that seem eminently reasonable and don’t fundamentally alter […]
