I haven’t been contributing much to this blog the past few weeks, as you may have noticed. Because blogging is a very personal enterprise, I feel comfortable sharing the news of Monday’s passing of a great Wolfpacker – my father. My father received his B.S. in civil engineering in 1968, and his Masters in 1972. […]
Alums
NBA Alumni Teams (v2007)
Around the turn of the last decade — the 1990s decade — NC State alums dotted the rosters of NBA teams. Names like Nate McMillan, Charles Shackleford, Vinny Del Negro, Chucky Brown…even Chuck Nevitt were competing in the league and representing the Pack faithful well. At that time, three Atlantic Coast Conference programs had the […]
Your Annual Adrian Wilson Entry
It was just over a year ago that we highlighted some Wolfpackers in the NFL with a special focus on Arizona Cardinals safety, Adrian Wilson. (Link) Mention the safety position in the NFL and Ed Reed, Troy Polamalu, Brian Dawkins and Roy Williams are often mentioned as the game’s best. Believe this: Adrian Wilson is […]

All Three Wolfpackers Drafted
Once Sunday’s session of the NFL draft got going, it didn’t take long for all three of NC State’s NFL prospects to have been taken off the board. We talked about Tank Tyler‘s selection by the Kansas City Chiefs yesterday. In the 4th round of the NFL draft AJ Davis was taken by the Detroit […]
Tank Plummets to Mid-to-Late 3rd Round
Wow. Tank falls to Kansas City (one of my 3 least favorite teams) at pick #83. He also took some (IMHO, overly harsh) hits about his character from the ESPN crew. The spitting incident in Hattiesburg cost him more than a meaningless ejection from a blowout game. The Browns and the 49ers made dumb moves […]
NFL Draft Coming Saturday
The NFL Draft is this weekend and NC State looks to put at least two more Wolfpackers – Tank Tyler and Leroy Harris – in the league. There is a good chance that the NFL season will start next year with at least twenty-five former Wolfpackers on league rosters. Wow! Dave Glenn has started three […]
NFL Draft Around the Corner
Draft day will be much less eventful for Wolfpack alums this year, but it’s still a wonderful, gluttonous weekend for the football junkie. I always get ready with my draft preview from The Sporting News, which is always the best issue of the year. Here’s what they say about the Pack’s likely draftees: – Tank […]
