I’m sure Bret and Jemaine would agree – it’s business time for the Pack this afternoon. And a business-like performance will get it done. Maryland has to be a bit fragile after a tough home loss knocked them out of Atlantic contention last week. So we need to step on the Terps’ collective throat early […]

Why Skeptics of Tom O’Brien Should Feel Better
Note: This article was written earlier, but compliments StateFanNation’s summary of the N&O article on Wolfpack’s patience with TOB. This only serves as an explanation for why those skeptical of Tom O’Brien should feel more comfortable about his coaching tenure to date and is written from the perspective of a self-described Tom O’Brien critic. It […]
N&O: Wolfpackers patience with TOB vindicated
Link to message boards with an encouragement to dive in with comments and start some threads! The N&O has an appropriate article this morning: Year 4 turns into a big one for O’Brien “Year 4, this is where you want to be,” O’Brien said. “We’re fighting for a conference title. We have the opportunity to […]
Game Ball, Kevin Reddick (and Owen Spencer)
Thank the Lord Mr. Reddick decided to wake up the sleepwalking Pack. Because once awoken, NC State played its best football all year. And we will play for the Atlantic Division title next week in College Park. And what awareness by Owen Spencer to catch a tipped knuckler in the end zone. Without that, not […]
State/Wake Forest Game Thread
OK, I’m not made of stone. Despite my earlier pledge, I can’t help myself – I will be watching today, and the next two weeks. We need a win today against an awful opponent, then two road wins against mediocre foes. Then, NC State will be Atlantic Division champions for the first time in the […]
Moving on: “All 128 Atlantic Division Scenarios in One Place
Link. N.C. STATE (33) All 128 ACC Atlantic Division scenarios in one place With four teams and seven games still relevant to the ACC’s Atlantic Division race, there are 128 scenarios that could come out of the division. (For those without much of a stats background, that number comes from taking two — the number […]
Wide Right in Tallahassee
Ok, I’m calmer now (somewhat, anyway). And, thanks to The U and The Flagship (I swear, today was the first time I’ve ever in my life cheered for an opponent of Carolina’s to lose, and although I didn’t cheer for Carolina to win, it still felt dirty), Saturday in the Atlantic ends where it began: […]
Inexplicable Coaching Call = 14-13 Loss
There’s plenty of blame to go around today. But Tom O’Brien’s weak-willed, brain-dead, unfathomable, inexcusable call to PUNT on 4th and 1 from the Clemson 40, down 1 point with 3:30ish to play was hands down the stupidest thing any non-Les Miles football coach has ever done. Boy do I feel stupid for what I […]
2010 ACC – This Is Why We Hired TOB
Back when we were happily in the market for a new football coach (at long last for me, as I was maybe the very first person off the Amato train – having told several people after the Maryland game during PR’s senior year that the Amato experiment was going to end very badly), I got […]
Good story from Tim Peeler: Getting with the Program
Full article here. Good read. Kapitulik spent the next eight years competing in the world’s toughest endurance races and climbing the world’s highest mountains to raise money for the college fund he set up for the six children of his dead Marines. Now, Kapitulik is the CEO of The Program, a leadership training company that […]
