Ted Brown: CFB HOF Class of ’13
As kid growing up, Ted Brown was one of my absolute favorite players so this makes me very happy indeed. It was announced today that former Wolfpack great, and still all-time ACC rushing leader Ted Brown will be included in the 14 man 2013 class of inductees into the National Football Foundation and College Hall […]
FourFourEightyThree: 30 Years Later, The Cougs Are Still Crying
Thirty years later, the images are still etched into my mind and those of most Pack fans old enough to remember. The team in red, the huge underdogs, hugging each other with tears streaming. Fists and/or index fingers raised to the sky to indicate that the Pack truly was number one in the land once […]
Flashback: In 1974, N.C. State stood atop hoops world
Nice little write up re: ’73-’74 team on ESPN’s Fandom Blog this morning. Figured we could use something positive today even if it was nearly 40 years ago… It was a far different time in college basketball, before the 3-point line and one-and-done teenagers opting for the NBA.

Everett Case Wants to be Your Friend!
Yep. The father of big time basketball in the south. The driver behind the wheel that was the creation of the ACC. The man who created the Dixie Classic, popularized cutting down the nets and put NC State basketball on the map…is also a facebook fanatic. And he loves him some StateFansNation so you know […]
Grantland: “Turned State”
Dave Tompkins, Grantland: Prior to the Pack turning a 30-foot airball into the most memorable on-court bear-hug hunt of all time and sports, I only knew State through David Thompson. The first player to be certified as “Skywalker,” Thompson acquired a nice Embers song in his name while helping the Wolfpack to a title in […]
Wolfpack: 2012 Year in Review
As we all know by now, the Mayans were not correct and the world did not end. Since that day has come and past, we can look back on the highlights of the past 366 days (this year was a leap year people). In David Letterman fashion, here is this year’s top 10 list of […]
