Nine Years of Sellouts – What Have We Gotten In Return?
This season is the 9th consecutive where football season tickets have sold out at Carter-Finley. Here is a recent entry about selling out season tickets. For this entry, I am going to focus only on home football games. Set aside the LTRs, gas, hotel and airfare for road trips, donations to the Wolfpack Club, merchandise, […]
The kind of analysis that deserves front page billing
Our new forums (and even our new Twitter activity) have become fantastic places to share a higher volume of information and items from the internet that we can’t necessarily find the opportunity to share on the front page of the blog. But, this morning we ran across a few items that deserve front page billing. […]
Wilson the Passer vs. Wilson the Runner
There’s been lots of chatter in the comments and in the forums about Wilson not looking to run. I don’t think that is the case, and the stats back that up. Wilson had 11 rushing attempts last night, compared to an average of 11.56 per game last year (in the 9 games where he played […]

Much like our previous breakdown of the entire Atlantic Coast Conference, today we’ll take a look at the 2008 Wolfpack with a focus on trends and issues that are likely to carry over to the 2009 version.

2008 ACC Football Review
It should be really easy to project this fall’s college football results. All we have to do is: – Assess what went right/wrong in 2008. – Subtract contributions from “graduating†players. – Add in contributions that we will see from new players. – Subtract lost contributions due to injuries. That should leave us with […]
