Even though this article is 10 days old, we thought everyone might want to read it. We also want to save it for future years when iit is bowl selection time. Before we explain why we’ve come to that point, let’s rewind to 2002. I remember all the whining and complaining by Virginia fans that […]

Good Read: Why Rich Rodriguez Left WVU
MORGANTOWN, W. Va. — Before the death threats to his brother’s children, before the letters to the editor that rage against him in his local paper, before the destruction of his mailbox, and the printing of anti-Rod T-shirts, and the affixing of mocking posters to his gate at the end of his driveway, Rich Rodriguez […]
Will you PLEASE get this message out?!
If you want some ECU, then hopefully you didn’t miss our pre-game/in-game entry or our first postgame entry. We’ll have a little more State-ECU talk during the week since we were busy with work last week and didn’t have a lot leading up to the game. Today’s entry is focused on something much more broad […]
Fans Voice Ticketing And Entry Concerns (Updated 10:15 am)
First, you need to read this previous entry as a de facto “part one” to today’s entry. We wanted to thank Pack Pride for continuing to focus on the issues of simple game-day execution at Carter-Finley. On Sunday, PP ran a great entry from Scott Vogelsburg (formerly of The Wolfpacker) and in today’s “Observations” from […]
Thank You, Mr. Tudor: Great State Fans
“N.C. State’s fans are among the most patient and loyal in all of college athletics.” That hardly qualifies as breaking news, but it’s worth repeating in the wake of a couple of issues — fans leaving early and the coach’s frank comments.” As we’ve said many times in the past…when Caulton Tudor gets something right, […]
How Do They Do It?
We’ve talked about this before, so it’s nothing that new. But it is kind of a natural time to re-approach the topic of ACC fan support in light of a recent observation made by EagleinAtlanta and the fact that one of the ACC’s best fanbases visit Raleigh this weekend. I like to occassionaly take opportunities […]
Growing Problem With Students Getting Into Football Games (Updated 1pm)
Have you walked past the student entrance into football games recently? It takes students 30-90 minutes just to get into football games (if they don’t have to leave the line to go find a port-a-john during the wait. We saw this editorial in the Technician this morning, and thought SFN readers should take note. We’ve […]
Friday Football
Coach O’Brien returns to Chestnut Hill for a business trip that a lot of people are interested in witnessing. Dave Glenn blogs about how fascinating this situation is. As usual, Glenn provides A LOT more information and detail about the things in which readers are interested than the ‘mainstream’, boring media. Similar to Glenn, Eagle […]
I doubt that NC State has a Ranger65
The bizarre nature of the recent revelations of internet postings of Whole Foods CEO, John Mackay reminded me of something that I noted back in December but had never run on SFN. If you aren’t familiar with the Mackay case – the public company’s CEO used an anagram from an alias for nearly eight years […]
Why TOB Left BC
Just a quick hit from one of the best blogs around: (Note: this is a week old, but still relevant). I am not going to make a huge deal of something this small…because we have talked about the topic a lot since TOB accepted the NC State job and publicly commented on all of the […]
