Mythbusting the Wolfpack Sore-Loser Stereotype
The past few days there has been a lot of talk on local sports-talk radio and elsewhere on the ‘interwebs’ about NC State’s irrational obsession with officiating particularly in the wake of a tough loss against UNC in the ACC tournament. Granted, we all have our mini-meltdown moments after tough loses, and quite frankly the […]
Why are NC State Fans Neurotic (a la UNC Scandal)
I always think it’s interesting that people claim NC State fans are so neurotic when it comes to their rivals, UNC. People like to claim, and some NC State fans have started to buy into it, that UNC doesn’t get any kind of special treatment. Of course not, it’s all in our heads! Luckily, recent […]
Tar heel fans wish death to Chancellor Thorp
Tell me more about the ‘bad’ NC State fans. We did a quick perusal tonight of the Twitter mentions of UNC-CHeats Chancellor Holden Thorp and were shocked at some of what we saw. (Being discussed in this thread from our message forums). A lot of crazy stands out in there…but, it is hard to top […]

Technician has it backwards, mistake-ridden, and wrong
Ahh…to be young, idealistic, and inexperienced. I don’t hold it against them. I’ve recognized the issue with student editorials and journalism even when I was a student. Nonetheless, we have to highlight this viewpoint from Technician that “Poor attendance equals poor performance”. Fact: After their game Sunday, Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski was asked about scheduling […]

Many props to long-time ACC sportswriters Al Featherson and Brett Friedlander for their latest columns that will be linked towards the end of this entry Also, our local radio guys like Dave Glenn, Joe Ovies, and Adam Gold have defended us all week as well. Maybe from now on the hosts won’t waste time on […]

In this link, the blog takes a quick look at the statistically historical nature of the 2010 NC State football season. I also was appreciative of the respect the author […]
Message Board Reactions on the UNC/NCAA investigation
I have followed message boards of different college programs around the country for almost 15 years(mainly NC State, UNC and Wake Forest). Message boards are often ridiculed by the print/television/radio media, coaches, athletic directors, and even message board posters themselves. While sometimes these forums are criticized for good reasons, in regards to major news stories […]
