StateFansNation would like to shout out a congratulations to our conference bretheren in Chestnut Hill as the Boston College Eagles have advanced to their third consecutive Frozen Four, hockey’s version of Final Four’.

2008 Bubble Thoughts
There have been some interesting comments made about the Bubble this year that need to be saved for future reference. Plus Alpha/RAWFS has fixed it so I can use tables again….so here goes a little supplemental information about this year’s marginal selections/snubs: Let’s start with some tables that go pretty well with a commentary from […]
RPI-ology
Earlier this year I made the mistake of allowing myself to get sucked into a ‘hypothetical’ conversation about NC State’s chances of making the NCAA Tournament. At the time our Wolfpack was tracking in the 30s and 40s of the RPI and I was trying to use facts and statistics to de-bunk ridiculous statements and […]

Stat of the Day – 51 point differential in 80 minutes
The numbers at the bottom of this entry serve as a statistical look at a broader issue that partly entails the need for our coach staff to work to push the right buttons at the right time with the right combination of players. Unfortunately, some of you are going to think that this entry is […]
Tackling
There have been a number of comments made in the various threads here about State’s tackling or the lack thereof. Since I’m currently in exile in Northern Ontario, I haven’t seen the last two ball games (though the evidence suggests that I haven’t missed anything worth remembering). No one lists missed tackles in official stats, […]
Statistically Speaking – SDPI Finishes
There is a lot of momentum amongst Wolfpackers’ current interest in football…so, we are going to ride this train a little more. On the heels of VaWolf’s statistical entry, I thought that the community would be very interested in this recent find. Good stuff. It would be particularly interesting to analyze the performance of the […]
