On July 22nd, Tony Barnhart of the Atlanta Journal Constitution decided to throw some words down regarding “ACC Coaches on the Hotseat” to help fill some space in an article that he wrote. The RedandWhitefromState did a good job of calling out Barnhart for the ridiculousness of some of his ‘work’. Today, Fansblog.com logged a […]
More Thoughts on Jay Davis
Anyone familiar with my posting history (or who has discussed football with me in person) knows that I was not a big Jay Davis fan in 2005. I always thought that it was ridiculous to expect that a redshirt junior would need time to “grow into” the starting job, and if that was the case, […]
Football “Revenue” Feels Inaccurate
A couple of weeks ago, NC State’s Associate Athletics Director David Horning had a nice little run in the media spotlight. During the week, Horning was not only was featured in a national article on CSTV.com, but Pack Pride ran one of its better pieces in a two-part Q&A interview with Horning that focused on […]
2005 NC State Football Roster
NC State’s initial roster for the 2005 football season has been released and can be viewed by clicking here. A few random thoughts – some stale, some new, generated by the roster: ===> Bad news – Former Northern Nash and Hinds JC Defensive End, Chad Green, still has not made it to Raleigh. ===> Good […]
Wolfpack Dominates Comeback List
I’ve got tons of old entries that I began during the past 9 months but never posted. As we work our way up to the start of football season, I will work to just “dump” them onto the site for future use. We will start with this article from the Las Vegas Sun that took […]

There is just no way to stress the importance of consistent play at the quarterback position for NC State in the 2005 season. Last week, we highlighted some reasons for optimism regarding Davis’ evolution as a leader. Today the News & Observer featured Davis in an article that touted his “honed mechanics and vocal leadership.” […]
Top Teams for 2005
Without taking into account 2005 schedules, here are the best teams going into 2005. USC, LSU, Tennessee, Miami, Texas, and Ohio State are on a different level than everyone else. They are all loaded with talent, and return plenty of key players. Florida State, Oklahoma, Georgia, and Michigan also seemingly have full, talented rosters, but […]
Georgia Tech’s Athletic Season
A few weeks ago, we discussed NC State’s Athletics program’s position as #51 in the country and #9 in the ACC. The entry gots lot of talk on PackPride’s Message Boards. As a follow-up, I thought that I’d throw out a random list of events that happened at Georgia Tech in the last Athletics Season. […]
No Gameday in Raleigh for VPI
If you were holding out for an appearance for ESPN’s College Gameday to kick the season off in Raleigh for the Wolfpack’s game with Virginia Tech, you can stop wishing. The crew is headed for the Pitt-Notre Dame game. State will definitely enjoy ESPN’s physical presence for our Thursday night game against Clemson on October […]
Pre-Season ACC Football Links
With the ACC’s football media days wrapping up, I decided that it might be nice to have a central location for pre-season ACC and NC State football links. It will be nice to have an archived link to which I can keep adding. (I wish the comments component of the blog was turned on [we’re […]
