If Carter-Finley is a little louder tomorrow night, Wolfpack fans can thank the NC State ticket office. That’s because there will be students rather than visitors in Sections 31 and 320 of the stadium, an area nominally reserved for visitors. This will mean that student Wolfpack fans will be filling otherwise empty chairs and lending […]

Torry goes down right when AB is bouncing back

Tank Tyler Fits into Panthers Defense
NC State fans have (rightfully) complained for years that we haven’t had the pleasure of having enough Wolfpack influence in and around the NFL ‘hometeam’ Carolina Panthers. Hopefully this feeling changes some this season as Fayetteville native and NC State alum Tank Tyler was traded to Panthers from Kansas City midway through last season. The […]

Congratulations, Ray Tanner
If any university has more of a “Charlie Brown kicking the football” complex than NC State, it’s South Carolina. The chickens went winless in bowls for longer than Moses’ sojourn in the desert, until an aged Lou Holtz led them to a few respectable victories.
