Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that we are under 48 hours (under 36 actually…took me longer to get around to posting this than I thought) until Wolfpack Football kicks off the ’14 campaign and attempts to rid itself of the collective taste left from ’13. With all of the recent rehashing […]

Wolfpack To Honor Russell Wilson At Spring Game on April 12
Russell Wilson is coming to NC State’s Kay Yow Spring Football Game, where he will have his number honored. The former Wolfpack great and Super Bowl champion QB earned his degree in Raleigh while playing stellar football for the Wolfpack before leaving for Wisconsin for a single season. He then was drafted by the Seattle […]
It Was The Best Of Times, It Was The Worst Of Times
Recently the author group here at SFN were having a discussion that veered off into who had the worst sports experience during their time as a student at NC State. Reminded me of the comparing scars scene in Jaws. Several of the SFN brain trust made valid points as to why they had it the […]
A Most Accurate Assessment
All of this talk of mid-field logos and such has detracted from the truth of things. I myself made mention of the fact that tomorrow’s game was relegated to the dreaded 12:30pm Raycom TV slot a couple-ish weeks ago, and it was mentioned again since then. Without going back and reviewing the comments about that, […]
Coming of Age…of sorts (AKA…Carolina Sucks)
For most dyed in the wool Wolfpackers, it’s as much a basic truth of life as is eating and breathing. We generally hate Carolina. If Carolina NEVER won another athletic contest EVER again in ANYTHING….it would still be too soon. So why then has it been so damned quiet around here so far this week??? […]
A Shout Out…to 1973
….To the ’73 ACC Football Champions, to be precise. And to our own TheCOWDOG, who happens to have been a member of that squad, and is also pictured here making an attempt at giving SFN a shout out today from CF. You and your damned Android thumbs old man. They don’t work well for […]
NCSU vs. Wake Forest: The Past 10 Years
As I was finishing up this entry, I noticed that LRM had just put an entry up that talked about the house of horrors known as Groves Stadium. This article discusses the last ten years between State and Wake, and that house of horrors. This Saturday, Dave Doeren’s first Wolfpack team leaves the friendly confines […]
Mike Glennon to get first NFL Start
ESPN.com’s Adam Shefter is reporting this morning that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have plans to bench starting QB Josh Freeman, effective immediately. Of course, this means that Mike Glennon will be getting the starting job…and perhaps a bit sooner than some of us thought he might. Nonetheless, Glennon will now be making his first career […]
Remembering Frank Weedon
NC State lost a legendary figure this week. On Monday, Frank Weedon passed away at age 82. Weedon was the SID and assistant athletic director for around 36 years before retiring, although he continued to come to work for an additional 15 years. He lived for NC State. The sheer amount of NC State Hall […]
