It’s the anniversary of Jimmy V’s famous ESPY speech. Will never forget watching it live before going out and then sitting in Spike’s when the late night reply was aired. After all of that drinking the tears were FLOWING from every person in the place. Twenty-three years ago tonight, Jim Valvano gave us a message […]
This is just a great (too short) retrospective by Tim Peeler, who has done a truly fine job covering State across various medias over several decades. Read it all here. This excerpt could be considered one — of many — that sums up why Jimmy V was endeared by so many State fans. And on […]
WOW! When they don’t have the value of controlling the questions and the media you never know what honesty you are going to get. Larry Fedora talking about his players.

Before you go any further, we ask that you check out today’s Gameday Headlines (linked here) and SFN’s unique game preview (linked here). For a set of bloggers that pride themselves on a […]
This was originally posted by LRM three years ago (Laugh. Think. Cry.), but seems fitting to post again during Jimmy V week, especially the for the younger fans that may not realize there was once a time when State basketball was anything but an afterthought. V himself had said that team wasn’t very good. After […]
Even on the day before the State football team makes its dreaded biennial trip to the abyss known as Winston-Salem, SFN member NCSU1987 gives us a great find in ESPN’s series on basketball arenas to stoke our passion for basketball (ESPN): Jay Bilas: To me, the toughest places to play had more to do with […]
I always think it’s interesting that people claim NC State fans are so neurotic when it comes to their rivals, UNC. People like to claim, and some NC State fans have started to buy into it, that UNC doesn’t get any kind of special treatment. Of course not, it’s all in our heads! Luckily, recent […]
