Well, thanks to the virus making it’s way through my children, I will be watching from home tomorrow, and thus likely to live blog. Lucky you, huh? Speaking of which, I’m looking to sell 2 pairs of tickets in Section 27 (each with a parking pass) – leave an e-mail in the comments if interested! […]
Tom O’Brien
O’Brien: ‘There’s going to be better days’
“It wasn’t a one-year move,” O’Brien said. “It wasn’t a one-game move. It’s a five to 10-year move on my part. We got pretty beat up today but there’s going to be better days. We’re going to be a much better football team and we’re going to be a heckuva football program.”
TOB: Pack’s Overconfidence
On the teams overconfidence: “The first thing they have to recognize is that they aren’t as good as they think they are. A lot of these guys have an over-inflated image of who and what they are.” ACCNow has audio and a blog entry titled, “Pack’s overconfidence irks O’Brien”
Remember the Mission
The nice thing about a new season (especially with a new coaching regime) is the fresh hope it brings. Everybody starts 0-0, and almost every opponent has some question marks. Unfortunately, the Pack stands at 0-1, and the short-term prospects aren’t good. After all, if UCF had so much as a competent QB, they would […]
Corso Rejects Davis-Love; Lauds Wolfpack’s TOB
ESPN’s Lee Corso appeared on Mark Packer’s syndicated Primetime radio show this afternoon for a conversation on college football. Packer was doing a great job pumping Corso for as many comments as could be generated in the allotted timeframe of the interview when Packer brought up the obligatory ‘isn’t Butch Davis great?’ topic. (Please do […]
Predict the Games
These are only my guesses, but now is as good a time as any to make them. Remember, these are predictions, not hopes or best case scenarios. I wouldn’t be shocked by anything between 4 and 7 regular season wins. Feel free to add your own in the comments. Game 1: vs. Central Florida (Win; […]
Time to Talk QBs
The N&O is running a nice profile on Pack QB Harrison Beck. Here’s an excerpt: The Pack will hold its first preseason scrimmage today, and O’Brien said his three quarterbacks — Beck, Daniel Evans and Justin Burke — will get an equal amount of snaps. O’Brien would like to settle on a starter as quickly […]
It is Nice to Have Practice Notes
The noticeable differences between CTC and TOB tenures continue to evolve right in front of us. The Amato era’s secrecy and privacy seems to have been replaced by a much more open and amicable environment for the media. For example, Amato’s closed practices have been replaced with the allowance of video and local media coverage […]
Great Synopsis of Early TOB Recruiting
Link from the national rivals.com recruiting site – key excerpt follows: This is a much faster start for N.C. State than many expected. A new coaching staff – most of them from Boston College – is trying to rebuild a program after a few years of mediocrity (or worse) in the ultra-competitive ACC. Coaches with […]
Tim Stevens: Pack doing well with in-state prospects
N&O Preps reporter Tim Stevens notes the progress NC State is making in-state. State has eight commitments, including six from in the state. But the key to in-state recruiting isn’t just signing players. It’s signing the right players. So far, State is hitting that mark, too. Five of its six in-state recruits are ranked among […]
