I don’t know if you are a Wolfpacker who only surfs the internet during the week while at work or if you also have a computer at home to keep you sane on the weekends. But, whatever kind of Wolfpacker you may be…you may want to do some ‘back-surfing’ through the weekend archives of many […]

T.A. – Truly the Poor Man’s Maurice Clarett
Well, it’s official – the career cycles of former Wolfpack tailback T.A. McLendon and former Ohio State freshman sensation Maurice Clarett have reached perfect harmony – neither back made it through their initial NFL training camp . We can all remember the parallels – each player shooting up their team’s depth chart as true freshmen, […]
Ticket Demand Strong for VPI
Last year, Ohio State visited Carter-Finley Stadium for a non-conference football game against NC State in the middle-to-end part of September. The game brought with it inflated ticket prices that had never previously been seen for an NC State game with some tickets fetching in excess of $250 each on EBay. This year, NC State […]
Quote: State fans have Delivered
“There is no doubt. NC State fans have to be stretched pretty thin because they have been asked to dig into their pockets big time and they have delivered. That is a tribute to both Coach Amato for kinda rallying the troops and also the fans because all of that new stuff – that beautfiul […]

Former NC State safety, Andre Maddox has been placed on injured reserve after tearing ligaments in his knee on Friday night in an NFL exhibition game against the New York Giants.

Mr. Smith: “Pack to be Darkhorse”
About a month ago, I got an email from a professional colleague who was forwarding an email from one of his friends who is originally from Texas – also known as football country. Let’s call the author of the original email, “Mr. Smith”. Mr. Smith currently lives in Big 10 country in the Midwest. Each […]
National Blogpoll Released
At the end of last week, we posted the Preseason StatefansNation.com College Football poll on the site. (One day very soon we will be able to turn our comments back on and you can tell us how crazy we are.) SFN’s poll is also a part of the National BlogPoll that was released yesterday. We […]
State Strongly Represented in Harris Poll
As if Buddy Green wasn’t enough throwback for one morning…Steve Czaban also made an off-handed reference to former NC State football coach Dick Sheridan when he was criticizing the new Harris Interactive BCS college football poll. I don’t know how much that you know about the Harris Poll, but basically, “it will rank the top […]
Wolfpack Morning Mentions on Fox Radio
I had an interesting drive on the way to work this morning. Opie and Anthony were in re-run mode on XM channel 202, so I was scrolling through the other old favorites of America Right #166 and the sports radio channels. I ended up on Fox Sports Radio with the First Team on Fox and […]
