Yes, I know where the space bar and shift key are on the keyboard. I just wanted to highlight a website that has escaped my notice until today: packathletics.exposure.co. Here are a few highlights of the articles that I found in just a few minutes of looking around: Top 25 vision (April 9, 2015) […]
NC State
State Firmly Ranked in “Ridiculously Early” 2015/16 Top 25 Hoops Polls
Expectations are going up — way up — for Wolfpack hoops next season. It seems as soon as the last notes of “One Shining Moment” are played in the NCAA Tournament, pundits start releasing their “way too early” polls for next season. Usually, the top of their lists features blue-blood programs and others that have […]

Last Week In Baseball
Yes, I’m fully aware that this title is merely a thinly veiled rip-off. Apologies to Mel “How about that?” Allen. At least I didn’t steal his theme music….yet. – OK, so a week ago, Wolfpack Baseball was coming off a less than dazzling road trip, during which they saw their conference mark drop two games […]
Baseball Update
Now that there is some breathing room for Pack fans between NCAA basketball weekends (and we’re all infinitely happy to be BETWEEN NCAAT games, and not finished with games of course), I figured I’d jump in and give a quick update on what the Pack9 has been up to.

Eric Leak Is Under a Federal Investigation For Loan To CJ Leslie After He Declared for NBA Draft
Like an infected boil that just won’t go away, former Wolfpack player Erik Leak just won’t leave NC State athletes alone. Despite being sent a dissociation letter from the University, Leak and his associates have apparently contacted former athletes, and according to federal investigators, may have fraudulently shifted federal funds around in his businesses and […]
