Football Adds Non-Conference Opponents

[Wulfpack]

RALEIGH, N.C. — Over the next 10 years, North Carolina State University will add three new football opponents. The school announced home-and-home series Tuesday against Texas Tech, Connecticut and Vanderbilt.

The first two of those series will start at Carter-Finley. The Wolfpack welcomes the Texas Tech Red Radiers and UConn Huskies in 2022 and travels to Connecticut the following year and to Lubbock, Texas, in 2027.

The series against Vanderbilt starts in Nashville in 2026, and the Commodores come to Raleigh in the 2028 season.

These are solid, if not spectacular series, and the kind we always should have had NO TROUBLE scheduling.

yeah, I remember how excited people were about the Tennessee and LSU home and homes, until they were bought out. Heck, even Navy bought out a return to Carter-Finley.

I suspect none of these games will ever happen as scheduled…We will be on probation for having “NC” in our name even though we didn’t do anything..

I just saw season ticket sales have already gone over 35,000 for only the 3rd time. I guess the improved schedule, esp Notre Dame is helping, and people are still optimistic about the program. The trick will be to have a great season and bring them all back next year. I’m happy about the schedule, and if one of the QBs steps up, our offense could be fun to watch.

Meanwhile, I think State added something else to the program…A QB from the land of spuds and blue carpet.

^ An immediately eligible blue spudded carpet, even.
