“On his weekly radio show Monday night, NC State basketball coach Herb Sendek offered an unusually blunt assessment of his team as it gets set to open ACC play at Miami this Sunday.” There was a thread started by 1985 Grad on Pack Pride’s Message Boards about the comments. Unfortunetly, the thread degenerated into such […]

Cowboys Interested in Rivers?
A poster on Pack Pride shared that the NFL Channel has reported that the Dallas Cowboys may be interested in former Wolfpack All-American, Philip Rivers. In all likelihood, San Diego ultimately retains Rivers and finds a way to extract value from Drew Brees in a trade. But, the scenario is an interesting one. I have […]

The Atlantic Coast Conference’s record streak of placing seven teams in the AP Top 25 came to an end this week as Virginia fell out of the rankings and NC State plummeted after the Wolfpack’s embarrassing debacle in Madison Square Garden and home-court surrender to mighty West Virginia.

The last week of the 2004-2005 National Football League regular season saw some important contributions from former NC State University Wolfpackers, including three Touchdowns from some recent favorites. Torry Holt became the first player in NFL history with five consecutive 1,300-yard seasons when he caught a 44-yard touchdown pass near the end of the first […]
Does Chuck Need To Make A Statement?
1. A losing record. 2. Herring goes. 3. Doc goes. 4. Recruits begin to go (two have already decommitted). 5. Mazzone, amazingly, shows no signs of going anywhere. 6. An ominous silence from Amato, who is on recruiting trips, per mouthpiece Vaughan. I have the impression that things, like Chinua Achebe tells us, are falling […]
