The Pack (14-11, 3-9 ACC) travels to Winston-Salem today to take on Wake Forest (14-10, 5-7 ACC). Since the last time we lost to Wake 3 weeks ago we’ve managed to go 1-4, beating a then reeling Duke team; then falling the last four times out in succession. It’s been a difficult few weeks to […]

Gottfried Justifiably on the Hot Seat
After last season’s 5-13 conference record, the ACC media and fans of NC State were expecting this year’s team to compete in the top half of the ACC and at a minimum make the NCAA tournament. Some people(me) had even higher expectations like spending most of the season ranked in the top 25 and competing […]
Should Dennis Smith Jr shut it down?
This is a completely serious question. During the recent college football season, a few star college football players decided to skip playing in bowl games to protect their draft status. Certainly a devastating injury in your final college game could severely hurt those players that have solidifed their draft status. While other players still needing […]

Your “I’m Too Apathetic to Think Up a Cute Title” Syracuse Open Thread

Effort, energy missing in NC State’s latest ‘lifeless’ ACC loss (NewsObserver.com) LOUISVILLE, Ky. There’s never a good time to question your team’s effort. It’s not […]

Your “Big Monday” Duke Open Thread
Yep, Big Monday. ESPN says so. Anyone else think there’s a chance ESPN was expecting two teams with a little more lustre by the time this one rolled around? Last time out, the Pack (13-7, 2-5 ACC) fell at home to Wake, completing a 1 for 3 homestand against 3 of the weaker teams in […]
Your “It’s Not Danny Manning’s Fault But I Still Don’t Like Him” WF Open Thread
Hey, we won one. And even looked mostly good down the stretch at crunch time while salting it away after coming from behind. Still some defensive breakdowns, too many for my liking if I’m being honest. But that’s to be expected by now. Bottom line….good guys win one, 79-74. Now, let’s make it two in […]
