Sidney Lowe and Monte Towe did not like the officiating on Saturday. It was obvious throughout the afternoon by their reactions to things on the bench. Of course, officiating had nothing to do with Saturday’s result…but, who says that it won’t be important in the future? In short, I liked what I saw from the […]

Duke Game Entry
I’ll be traveling for the Duke game, so I encourage any of the authors who are around on Saturday to add previews and reviews of Saturday’s game. However, before we get going we have to highlight Sidney Lowe‘s perfect comments today from the N&O: RALEIGH — It’s probably safe to say you’ll never hear N.C. […]
The ACC is Going to Hate the ‘Internets’
You think that Lee Fowler and the dinosaurs at NC State hate the ‘internets’? Wait until savy fans become more active in benchmarking horrible officiating on YouTube and the internet. It is something that we wish that we had more time to around here. (Note: if you are a young, tech-savy fan with a desire […]
Jim Valvano’s Room of Dreams
Found linked at PackPride, this video is inspirational. It’s awesome. (And you’ll also see future Wolfpack head coach Sidney Lowe and assistant coach Monty Towe in there.) Dreams come true at NC State. Dreams become reality at NC State. Are you a dreamer? Do you have dreams that you can make come true? Can you […]
Vote for SFN! College Football Blogger Awards
A few days ago we told you about StateFansNation being nominated for several of RockyTopTalk‘s College Football Blogger Awards. Well, the folks at RTT were kind enough to send us buttons to allow our readers easy access to voting. Here they are:
Should editors make these comments?
Check this out Is this a joke? or am I off base? But…isn’t it a combination of odd, inappropriate, stupid, and ridiculous for a SPORTS EDITOR to pen a quasi-article that proclaims, “I don’t particularly care for (the largest public university in the state in which I cover sports”)? Seriously. Tell me if I am […]
Checking in on the RPI, ACC, and Pac 10
A quick peak at what is going on in the ACC and partiuclarly a nice piece on the conference and the RPI. The Atlantic Coast Conference currently has EIGHT TEAMS (66% of the conference) ranked amongst the nation’s Top 38 in the RPI. Interestingly, the league’s two hottest teams are currently the ACC’s two lowest […]
Ben McCauley Appreciation Thread
The blog was pretty full late last week, and we didn’t get a chance to highlight this excellent article on Big Ben from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Read it and get chills at the confirmation of the rumors we heard throughout the spring – McCauley was very close to transferring, which would have made an 0-16 […]
David Thompson Gives Team Postgame Talk
This article is just great to read! (Additionally, you will enjoy this related piece regarding DT.) Lowe, who starred on State’s 1983 NCAA champs, invited Thompson into the locker room after the game for a few words. “The other night, I talked to the guys about the tradition of our school,” Lowe said. “After the […]
GoPack Tries to Pull A Fast One
Check out the picture of the Pack celebrating from today’s game. Oh wait. That picture in today’s article has the Pack celebrating on the sidelines while wearing white uniforms. You know, the uniforms that State wears when playing home games. As you know…State played in Winston-Salem and wore red today. Classic! Gotta love the consistent […]
