NC State football is now 41-19 in season openers since the ACC’s inception some 60 years ago. Coach Doeren’s win over Troy advanced him to 3-0 in openers with the Pack and 4-1 in openers in his career when you include Northern Illinois’ loss against Iowa in 2012. It is interesting to consider some of […]
Today, there are 11 days until NC State kicks off their 2015 campaign against the Troy Trojans at Carter-Finley Stadium. In anticipation of the season, one in which measured optimism is everywhere in regards to the Pack, I thought it would be cool to look back at some of the most memorable non-conference games that […]
I held this stat since the middle of last week waiting for the NFL Draft to conclude….and then Luke DeCock went and ruined it for me on Twitter over the weekend 🙂 N.C. State could be shut out of the draft for the first time since 1996. A late flier (Rob Crisp? Wil Baumann?) is […]
Ran across this tweet yesterday that I thought was interesting. Has Russell Wilson ever used the phrase “kicked out” re: Tom O’Brien before? http://t.co/LM9QmRPWod pic.twitter.com/TiGotFfjWr — Will Brinson (@WillBrinson) April 18, 2015 The link to the entire article is available here. Look, I love Russell Wilson as much as anyone. And, do I ever wish […]
This entry will on a topic that we have discussed at various times over the last couple of years but I think remains relevant in light of NC State’s current struggles on the football field — recruiting. Before this season started, we observed and discussed the talent deficiency within the Wolfpack program from the perspective […]
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 […]
If you didn’t realize it before, then last season proved to the world that Debbie Yow pushed Tom O’Brien out of his office in the Murphy Center (not literally) because of piss poor recruiting that manifested into a thin roster with limited talent. Late last year, our own WV Wolf penned a short but insightful […]
Ok…maybe not. But the similarities in the way they left their programs are not as stark as one might imagine. As if the lack of talent on the Wolfpack roster wasn’t obvious enough to all who endured the awful 2013 season, the 2014 NFL Draft surely did little to indicate that Debbie Yow did anything […]
As the 2013 NC State football season is slowly spiraling into the abyss, there has been a lot of discussion about the new coaching staff as well as the talent level inherited by Dave Doeren. The excellent guest column from Monday gives a lot of perspective on the time needed to turn around the football […]
As I was finishing up this entry, I noticed that LRM had just put an entry up that talked about the house of horrors known as Groves Stadium. This article discusses the last ten years between State and Wake, and that house of horrors. This Saturday, Dave Doeren’s first Wolfpack team leaves the friendly confines […]
