Today seems to be providing State fans everywhere an embarrassment of riches!! The latest developments in Starvin’ Marvin’s saga are required reading. Go ahead. Click on it. This will be here when you return. A BIG thanks to The Big Lead (link to the video), which simply must be seen to be believed. Rashad apparently […]
Miscellaneous & Fun Stuff
OBS: It’s Charlotte vs Raleigh, again
I need a distraction from the trainwreck that is NC State Basketball. Since it is Sunday…and, since Sundays (and the Sunday newspaper) are made for ‘feature’ items, editorials and debates…I thought it would fit to link this editorial in today’s Charlotte Observer reviewing some of the past barbs between the two major newspapers in the […]
WSJ: Contrarian’s Guide to Sports Betting
Interesting little piece for some of our readers. (Link) Tidbit: ‘Gamblers must win more than 52.4% of their wagers to make a profit—known in sports betting as overcoming "the juice." Daniel Fabrizio, the president of the website Sportsinsights.com, has found perhaps the easiest way to make money gambling on football games: Find out what everyone […]
A Symbiotic Relationship
Imagine this for a second. For the past few weeks, your team in red and white has been playing better than anyone around. The team you follow is the talk of the town. No matter if you read the newspaper, listen to talk radio, or scour the internet, the only thing people want to talk […]

Shep Smith smacks down smarmy Edwards aid – Wolfpack Nation!
Fun video seems to be en vogue right now. This video from Friday related to the UNC scandal remains a MUST SEE for anyone who hasn’t. That thing was pure gold and I was surprised to speak to some friends at the game this weekend who had not seen it yet. Then, later on Friday, […]
Inside Carowhina: I just hurt myself laughing
I once heard ESPN’s Colin Cowherd talk about the ‘say it out loud test’. The basic premise of Cowherd’s test is to simply recite the fact set of the issue(s) at hand out loud and listen to see how stupid it actually sounds against a framework of basic, simple common sense. The following video kind […]
The North Carolina Football Family: Rivals Resolved into Siblings
And now for some mid-week, light-hearted football humor. The following comes from coach13 in our StateFans Nation forums. Often the lines between various North Carolina football programs becomes obscured by the media and by delusional fans. Coach13 did an excellent job describing how the major North Carolina football programs can be related in terms of […]
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 […]
Schedule calendars
I still don’t understand how this idea is not more prominently used by the Athletics Departments of major universities. This link will take you to pre-made Outlook Calendars (and other calendars) that include NC State’s schedules as well as the schedules of others. Here is to hoping that one day the folks at GoPack.com or […]
