NC State Athletics Year In Review Summary
Thought I would share a brief summary of NC State’s performance in the 2009-2010 school year as well as a few observations.

So This Is the Way Baseball Season Ends…
…not with a bang, but a whimper. That said, I still tip my cap to the team for a compelling ACC run. You have to imagine that the Pack Nine were physically and emotionally drained after that. And this was always a flawed team, just one that had a well-timed hot streak late. Omaha was […]

State takes Weekend Series vs. #1 Virginia
State won its weekend series at Doak Field at Dail Park versus #1-ranked Virginia 2-1 to improve to 18-10 overall (5-7 ACC). I was at the game Friday and it was a beautiful evening and a great crowd, and obviously the last few innings were exciting. It was my first game of the season and […]

NC State’s unexpected success on the hardwood in the Atlantic Coast Conference and National Invitation Tournaments served to drive a lot of focus away from a couple of developing stories that we didn’t want to ignore. (1) Russell Wilson returning to the gridiron? Buried in this little recap in the N&O/Charlotte Observer a couple of […]
