Many In Wolfpack Nation Are Saying They’ve Had Enough
To say that Wolfpack Nation is seething mad tonight would be akin to calling the eruption of Mount St. Helen’s in 1980 a loud bang. It simply doesn’t begin to cover it. This is not about losing a game in the first round of the ACC Tournament, not even the fact that it is the […]

What If Our Athletics Were Graded By State’s Academic Standards? (11am Update)
I’ll make this short and sweet and let you add in your thoughts in the comments: What if NC State’s athletics were graded and a GPA built using essentially the same standards that each student at NC State faces in their classes?

You thought we had bad attrition? or, Todd Turner is not a sports handicapper
As we highlighted in this entry last week, injuries and attrition have been a major topic in WolfpackNation over the last couple of years.
