NC State football is now 41-19 in season openers since the ACC’s inception some 60 years ago. Coach Doeren’s win over Troy advanced him to 3-0 in openers with the Pack and 4-1 in openers in his career when you include Northern Illinois’ loss against Iowa in 2012. It is interesting to consider some of […]

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. 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 […]

OOC Strength of Schedule
Note – The great pic from the WRAL or N&O doesn’t really tie into the article. I just like it. I really appreciate the Wolfpack extending the basketball season so that the latest OOC SOS summary will appear before we move into baseball and the long drought until football comes back on Labor Day […]
Bubble Review
Normally, one of my favorite entries to prepare is the post-mortem on Selection Sunday. I get to make fun of the idiots behind the desks and poke holes in their weak attempts at championing some miserable “left-behind”. It’s also fun to look over the resumes and work out which items must have been most important […]

New plaque in Murphy Center lobby
Another big step in Coach Doeren’s connection with the NC State community and culture. I don’t know who came up with the idea of putting this up; but, it was a great idea! New plaque in Murphy Center lobby. pic.twitter.com/l5yLUbC8tT — The Wolfpacker (@TheWolfpacker) February 25, 2015
One More Week
Well that was a pretty miserable weekend of basketball. The only close game was Sunday’s Pitt/WF game with the Panthers falling to the Winston-Salem Curse as well. I wonder if there is some shaman we could pay to transfer that curse to them permanently? Here is the conference summary table with the RPI rankings coming […]
ACC Recap and Analysis
There was a full slate of games on Saturday, with four blowouts (three of which were in the Triangle) and two nail biters. With both nail biters working out to State’s advantage along with a fairly easy win against VT, I think that this weekend was about as good as could be expected. With the […]
