99.9 FM Interview with Lee Fowler His first comment about basketball is that had Horner made the three-pointer he took with the Wolfpack up four with about 6:20 left, the game might have been different. Maybe. But then Fowler says it was back and forth the rest of the game. Hmmm. I seem to remember […]

Media Watch: The Pulse Of The Wolfpack Fanbase; CNNSi Cheerleader of the Week
A couple of interesting things in the media for you: Dessert before dinner: we don’t often talk about the cheerleading or dance squad teams here at SFN, but these folks work hard to represent NC State well, and in the case of the cheerleading team, are former national champions. In short, there’s a lot more […]
What A Great Guy: BC AD Defilippo Says He’ll Fire Jagodzinski If He Interviews w/ Jets (Updated 9am)

Semi-Live Bowl Blogging from Blowing Rock
I am in a mountain condo on my blackberry, so don’t expect updates every 5 minutes or graphics of any kind. But I am ready and willing to sort of live blog today, for the last time in 2008. I feel really good about today’s game, which I fear means impending doom. 3:04 – Eugene […]
Great Read on O’Brien and His Coaching Philosophy
Update 1: Instead of making a new entry, I’ll add this bit here: Tom O’Brien said today that starting safety Clem Johnson will indeed be ready to play tomorrow in the Pizza Bowl. This is a positive for the Pack as it adds depth to a defensive secondary that’s sure to be tested all day […]
Report: Notre Dame To Retain Weis
WNDU and Irish Eyes website are reporting tonight that Charlie Weis will return next year. (Links through The Big Lead) We didn’t want to alarm the Wolfpack faithful when we floated this entry earlier in the day; but, as with much of what we report here there was a lot more going on behind the […]
Rivals: If ND Fires Weis, Irish Might Make a Run At TOB (Updated 7pm)
Final Update: Irisheyes.com, the Scout Notre Dame football franchise, reports that Charlie Weis is set to return for 2009.

A Season to Remember
NC State closed out the 2008 regular season with a convincing 38-28 win over Miami. The team that (for September and most of October) looked as if it could be one of the all-time worst Wolfpack squads turned out to be one of the most memorable. Clemson’s thumping of South Carolina means that 10 ACC […]
“Gung Ho” – It Means Work Together
This Edition of NC State Football Has Turned Into a Solid Team. While the attention and much of the credit for NC State’s football renaissance in the past month rightfully goes to Russell Wilson, the simple truth of it is that this is a team that has come together and is working as one. That’s […]
Cutcliffe: This Might Be O’Brien’s Only Year to Chirp (Updated 2:15pm, Grobe’s Comment)
With all due respect to the Duke football program, I found this little gem laugh-out-loud funny: “If I were Tom O’Brien, I’d be saying that,†Cutcliffe said. “This might be the only year he can ever chirp like that. When you’ve got chirping right, you better chirp. Thing is, if there’s any football program in […]
