Perhaps that is a slight exaggeration, but it sure does feel like it. (Hell, it has been 2362 days since the last football post on SFN!) I cannot remember a season with more hype and expectation, and it’s all deserved. Sports Illustrated has the Pack projected as the AP Preseason #11 team in the nation. […]

1983 team goes to Washington
h/t Mark Armstrong It took 33 years, but today the Wolfpack’s 1983 national championship basketball team was recognized and honored with a trip to the White House. Several of the local sports broadcasters went along on the trip, including Mark Armstrong and Jeff Gravley. At the time, the school wouldn’t cover the players’ transportation to […]
#4 NC State Wrestling caps off historic regular season winning at #2 Iowa
The NC State Wrestling team went on the road tonight to Iowa to face the 2nd ranked Hawkeyes in the NWCA (National Wrestling Coaches Association) Dual Series.

11 days to kickoff – 11 memorable non-conference games
Today, there are 11 days until NC State kicks off their 2015 campaign against the Troy Trojans at Carter-Finley Stadium.

Yow discusses improvement in Director’s Cup

Carlos Rodon to Make First MLB Start on Saturday vs Cincy
Former Wolfpacker (as if there was such a thing…I’m looking at you Russell Wilson), Carlos Rodon has spent his relatively short professional career in triple-A Charlotte, and more recently in spot relief duty out of the ChiSox bullpen. But beginning Saturday, at least temporarily, he’ll be working on a more regular schedule. Rodon is scheduled […]
Where Were You 15 Years Ago Tonight?
Most of the time this would be a hard question: Where were you 15 years ago tonight? But for myself and 19,000+ other State fans, that’s an easy question to answer. We were at the very first NC State basketball game at the Raleigh Entertainment Sports Arena/RBC Center/PNC Arena. Giveaway poster from opening night: And […]

NC State vs. Florida State – The Last 10 Years
With #1 and defending champion Florida State coming to Carter-Finley Stadium this weekend, an improving Wolfpack team looks to pull the upset in a place that has become what some media members call “a house of horrors” for the Seminoles. The Wolfpack has had more success against Florida State than any other conference school. For […]
ACC Football Heavyweight Championship
A while back I ran across a site with an interesting premise for an alternative national championship for college football, what if the winner of the very first college football game between Rutgers and Princeton in 1869 was awarded the college football heavyweight championship belt? Then the whole poll system and rankings wouldn’t matter, whoever […]
