I already spilled lots of virtual ink explaining how important I believe this game is. Rather than re-hash it, let’s just say I’m eager to see if we can finally have a signature win to be proud of. It’s ours for the taking tonight. Now, TAKE it, damn it! UPDATE – Consider it taken!!!!!!!!!!
Tom O’Brien
Now or Never for TOB
A rampant problem in sports journalism is oversimplification. Despite that acknowledgement, I’m going to keep this very, very simple: This is Tom O’Brien’s “shit or get off the pot” moment. No, I’m not saying that he should be fired if he loses to Florida State. Nor am I saying this season will become a disaster. […]
Embarrassment vs. Missed Opportunity
As I mentioned in the (accidentally unfeatured, stupid outdated Blackberry of mine) game thread, this afternoon’s game was a prime example of why playing the Pie-rats on the road in the middle of the season (thanks, Lee!) is a bad idea. State was unexpectedly having a good season. So it became even more of a […]
NCSU vs. VT: Anticipation and Excitement Is Building
Wolfpack Gameday is almost here. The Virginia Tech Hokies are coming to town to face NC State tomorrow at 3:30pm in Carter-Finley Stadium. The game will be carried on ABC Network regional coverage, and anticipation for this critical ACC matchup between the two teams is reaching a feverish pitch with Wolfpack fans. If you are looking for […]
NCSU Football Needs an Indoor Practice Center
It’s finally raining in the deserts of Raleigh once again. That’s good news for homeowners, some who depend of wells for water for their homes, others who are trying to care for parched grass, for farmers tending dusty fields, and for nearly everyone. We’ve needed this rain for a long time. Unfortunately, however, it comes […]
GT – NCSU Pregame Discussion
In a pivotal ACC tilt for both teams, the Wolfpack will square off against Georgia Tech in Grant Field at Bobby Dodd Stadium at 12:00pm in Atlanta. The game will be on ESPN nationally. First, some numbers and factoids: This is the first game in four years against Georgia Tech. This is the first time […]
EDSBS Translates Coachspeak for Tech’s Paul Johnson
In his weekly interview with reporters prior to the upcoming NC State game, Paul Johnson was busily speaking in his native tongue of “coach-speak.” No problem with that, of course, pretty much every coach does, as well as most every player who’s used to having a reporter’s microphone stuck in his face. Coach-speak can be […]
Sagarin Picks the Pack to Finish 9-3
Jeff Sagarin has predicted NC State to finish 9-3 in the regular season and to come in second place in the ACC’s Atlantic Division in his weekly college football rankings. Sagarin has the Wolfpack ranked #36 in his listings, which is about the same place that State sits in other polls. Calculating out his predictors […]
Wolfpack D Slays The Golden Knights 28-21
It almost feels odd to say, but the NC State defense carried the entire team in Orlando last night, and brought the underdog Wolfpack home with a 28-21 victory over the University of Central Florida. Despite the fact that UCF is a non-BCS team, the victory certainly belongs in the quality-win column, given that it […]
The ACC’s best combined coaching 1-2 punch
September 9th, 9:15 pm: This entry originally posted earlier in the week, but got buried in the UNC scandal coverage. We’re going to bring it back to the top of the blog since we are getting so much traffic from various ACC blogs today. Please don’t miss out on the other big entries we’ve got […]
