Today, there are 11 days until NC State kicks off their 2015 campaign against the Troy Trojans at Carter-Finley Stadium. In anticipation of the season, one in which measured optimism is everywhere in regards to the Pack, I thought it would be cool to look back at some of the most memorable non-conference games that […]
Flashback
NCAAT Montage of Buzzer Beaters
This is a great montage of NCAA Tournament buzzer beaters. I’m not sure it’s impressive or just plain awesome that I remember seeing most of these live. One of the things I most miss about the NCAA Tournament — with its move several years back to the generic courts for all games — is the […]
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??? […]
Flashback: Playing in a dome
Does anyone remember the last time we played in a dome? One storyline for the Tennessee game is that State doesn’t often play on artificial turf and rarely plays in a dome; it’s probably the same for Tennessee. In the ACC, only Wake Forest and Boston College have field turf, and the only other games […]
1989: ‘Worst Call in NCAA Tournament History’

Jimmy V Week
This was originally posted by LRM three years ago (Laugh. Think. Cry.), but seems fitting to post again during Jimmy V week, especially the for the younger fans that may not realize there was once a time when State basketball was anything but an afterthought. V himself had said that team wasn’t very good. After […]
NC State vs. Maryland – The Last 10 Years
As Wolfpack fans still savor the sweet victory over 7th ranked Clemson 37-13 on Saturday to end a 7 year losing streak to the Tigers, the team’s focus has now shifted onto the other arch nemesis, Maryland. Forget the crazy Under Armour uniforms. Forget that Ralph Friedgen is no longer coaching the Terrapins. Forget that […]
NCSU vs. UNC – The past decade
As we get closer to Saturday’s game against UNC-Chapel Hill, let’s first take a step back and look back at some of the previous games in the rivalry. The rivalry stands with UNC-Chapel Hill having a 63-31-6 overall record against the Wolfpack. Now, all Wal-Mart fans will let you know that this is all that […]
Tudor: Ted Brown ACC’s Best RB
In today’s News & Observer, Caulton Tudor profiles his pick for the ACC’s all-time best running back, Ted Brown (link): By the time Brown ended his career with the Pack – a total of 43 games – he had rushed for 4,602 yards and 51 touchdowns, plus 82 pass receptions for another 760 yards. Those […]
Happy 25th Anniversary, Lee
Departing NC State Athletics Director, Lee Fowler’s love of the media spotlight is well known to all of us. Quotes from Fowler often find themselves into newspaper articles that sometimes are unrelated to NC State Athletics as “Coach Fowler” made a much higher priority of returning calls from reporters than focusing on finding ways to […]
