The N&O touched briefly on a subject I’ve been curious about for a while: How the recent events revolving around State’s leadership have affected its revenue stream from donors. “If NCSU can afford to give Mary Easley an $80,000 salary increase, it no longer needs my support.†Beyond the obvious issues of inadequate accountability and […]

Former Wolfpacker Brian Keeter Needs Our Help
We’re reposting this new article posted by Kara Webb on the site “Brian Keeter’s Recovery” by Kara Webb on 4/16/09. Keeter is a former Wolfpack hoops player, and was involved in a devastating accident in December of last year. The details do not matter, Keeter is in a bad way, and needs the Wolfpack family […]
Andrew Brackman Assigned to Charleston’s Sally League Team
I’ve found another great reason to visit Charleston. Besides my wife’s cousin and his wife — who are the best kind of people and are diehard Clemson folks, I may get a chance to see Andrew Brackman play in the minor leagues: Six of the New York Yankee’s top 30 prospects, according to Baseball America, […]
Alums and Fans Under 25 Have Never Seen Glory. Will They Live Long Enough To Ever See It?
In the wake of yet another disappointing basketball season with yet another lackluster ACC Tournament one-and-done, I got to thinking about some of the current students, younger alumni and fans of NC State — and how much I feel sorry for them because they have rarely if ever gotten to feel the absolute joys that […]

Quick reference Pack players in the NFL
While the holidays are in full effect, we thought we’d point you to this excellent reference page that lists NC State alums’ in the NFL: Pro Football Reference: NC State I especially found references to the old-school players whose names are on Carter-Finley Stadium’s Ring of Honor fun to look at. For example: Dick Christy […]
The return of K-Rob
As stated in an earlier post, NC State may choose to under-promote our alums currently making major contributions in the National Football League, but we will do our best not to ignore their contributions. Koren Robinson was re-signed this year by Seattle after a string of injuries to its receiving corps that was, well, NC […]
J-Co’s amazing one handed – or one headed? – catch
NC State may choose to under-promote our alums currently making major contributions in the National Football League, but we will do our best not to ignore their contributions. Jerricho Cotchery has proven that he is good for at least three or four bigtime highlights each year, and last night’s catch on national television against the […]
Wolfpack Alum Taking National Stage
NC State graduate Robert Gibbs will be President-elect Barack Obama’s first White House press secretary. To my knowledge, he will be the first Wolfpacker to hold this position.
