I hate to post this entry as I think the two entries just below this are very important and deserve your attention and feedback. I don’t know many people who really weren’t expecting this news to be released today, but it is welcome news nonetheless – Russell Wilson will start for the Wolfpack on Saturday. […]

TOB – No Clarification on Pack Injuries
Per the N&O writeup, Beck is still listed as the starter for Saturday: “We don’t know [Wilson’s status],” coach Tom O’Brien said during his weekly news conference Monday. “We’ll have to wait and see. Right now Beck is the starter, and we’re going into the week with him preparing to play.” My biggest fear was […]
Complete Meltdown for USF (No Wilson, No Irving)
Here’s the link – I have very little to say except are you f-ing kidding me? Wilson, who threw three touchdown passes against the Pirates, suffered an undisclosed injury in the second half of the game but continued to play. He was evaluated on Sunday and O’Brien made the decision then to hold him out […]
NC State down to 46 scholarship players not counting kickers
This column has been provided by a guest author Todd Lion. After viewing the post yesterday describing NC State’s injury woes and last week’s entry discussing the high rate of attrition from Amato’s last two classes, I thought it would be worth it to examine who is available to play instead of focusing on those […]
State to battle Pirates without NINE injured starters (Updated for attrition 10am)
Tom O’Brien discussed injuries today in his press conference. So, NC State will enter Saturday’s game without the services of our best tight end and his back-up; our starting running back and his back-up; our best defensive tackle; our best wide receiver; our most experienced wide receiver; our most experienced offensive linemen; and our two […]
41% attrition rate from 2005 & 2006 classes
Here is a good article from Rob Daniels of the Greensboro News & Record that provides some statistical insight into what we all know and are feeling – NC State’s football program is depleted of depth and currently undergoing a major rebuilding project. Hopefully our fans have begun to realize that we are in a […]
God Almighty lashes out at State, again. Part MMXIII (Updated 5:10pm)
As usual, we State fans “will get nothing and like it!” Two noteworthy items from this week’s coaches presser: 1. Daniel Evans to start against William & Mary. 2. Anthony Hill is out with a chest injury. Link to ACCNow blog post Lord have mercy on our souls. Please. Additionally, Coach O’Brien has announced the […]
God Almighty lashes out at State, again.
“They are now the objects of that very same anger and wrath of God, that is expressed in the torments of hell. And the reason why they do not go down to hell at each moment, is not because God, in whose power they are, is not then very angry with them; as he is […]
Another year, another round of injuries
Un-f*ing believable. Just last year the NC State Wolfpack lost a staggering number of players to injury, including our three best offensive players – Anthony Hill, Toney Baker and Andrew Brown. This year, Toney Baker has already been sidelined with another knee surgery and has no scheduled return date; and Andre Brown hasn’t practiced with […]
NC State Reaches 8 Knee Surgeries
O’Brien said two knee surgeries this week will bring the team’s total to eight for this season. “I didn’t have eight knee surgeries in the last three years (coaching) at Boston College,” (SFN Note: Welcome to NC State!) O’Brien said Wednesday. Fullback Pat Bedics was scheduled for surgery Wednesday, and his status for the rest […]
