This is excellent news. Beyond this shoring up our recently-weak out of conference scheduling, this — like the planned home-and-home series with West Virginia and Mississippi State — is exactly the type of regional match up State should be playing regularly. N&O: N.C. State has agreed to open the 2017 college football season against South […]

The Pack is off, so settle into that recliner. Here are the Week 7 games I will be paying most attention to: WVU/Baylor Lville/FSU Bama/A&M MSU/Michigan Florida/LSU USC/Notre Dame Arizona State/Utah BC/Clemson Wake/UNC
Beyond the bye, into The Abyss
If — after that miserable showing in Blacksburg — you’re looking past the bye week for some kind of promise for this season, then I envy your naïveté. For those of you seeing promise in the 3-0 Wake win at Boston College, just remember that Pitt beat Virginia Tech 10-7 last week. After the desperately-needed […]
Game Thread – Wolfpack Football in Blacksburg
Not gonna lie. I’m packing for the beach and forgot about putting this entry up until about an hour ago while I was in line at the ABC Store. I’m at least 50% confident that the timing of my realization was coincidental, and that I have no Pavlovian link to NC State athletics and alcohol. […]

Trea Turner hits first major […]
Offense sputters, State loses 20-13
State loses for the first time since last November 8th and drops to 4-1 and 0-1 for the season. 'I want to say thank you to our fans who stood out there in the rain. It meant a lot' @StateCoachD — #LOUvsNCSU (@PackFootball) October 3, 2015 Offensively, things never really clicked for the Pack on […]
#Gameday & Preview: Louisville @ NC State
Louisville comes to town today for NC State’s ACC opener and to give the Wolfpack its first “real test” of the year. Unfortunately for the Pack, if we were to beat ‘The Ville’ then the rest of the world will then proclaim that the 1-4 Cardinals (who started the season ranked in the Top 20) […]
Game Thread: Wolfpack Football vs Louisville
Alternate title: Minimalistic Game Thread to Honor thy Glorious Fatherland and Boost Proletariat Mojo.

(and mopeds too, to be fair). 12:30pm on the Big Five. […]
