On the heels of the announcement that State and West Virginia will play a home-and-home series in 2018-19, and Mississippi State in 2020-21 (click here for more on this), is the news that State and Duke are both interested in a regular (non-conference) series in the future. Like West Virginia and Mississippi State, this is […]
I’ve been saving up these links and images over the course of the week to show how well NC State is represented in this year’s Super Bowl. The Wolfpack has 4 former players (RW, Sweezy, Nate & Hauschka) and even a former coach (Pete Carroll) in the game, which is second to only Tenn. Vols. […]
The reasonable among us aren’t arguing that line judge Richard Misner’s blown call cost State the game — we knew we’d have to keep scoring to win that game. But it’s entirely fair to say it shifted the momentum of a tight, hard-fought game squarely into Clemson’s favor. This is all hypothetical, of course, but […]
Last year Mario Williams signed a 6-year $100,000,000+ contract with the Buffalo Bills and now we get a little insight on how he spent some of that money; buying the biggest State-themed speedboat you can imagine. Powered by twin Mercury 1350s it can cruise easily at 100mph. He talks responsibly about it so I hope […]
For the past five years, when it comes to football, this is OUR STATE. For those of us who endured the 0-for-7 streak against Carolina during Mike O’Cain’s tenure 1993-99, there are few moments more satisfying than hearing the band play “Old MacDonald had a farm…” after the Carolina game (for the inexperienced among you, […]
Two weeks from right now hopefully we’re all waking up happy about the previous night’s score. SI.com: Three years ago, NC State’s secondary was in shambles. His hand forced by injuries and departures, coach Tom O’Brien plugged a pair of first-year players in at safety: true freshman Brandan Bishop and redshirt freshman Earl Wolff. Another […]
Chick-fil-A Bowl President and N.C. State graduate Gary Stokan called out State fans on 99.9 today for to-date lackluster sales to the State-Tennessee game (WRAL): The source of his frustration is the lackluster ticket sales for the season-opener, against a prime opponent, after he reached out to them specifically. “I’ll be brutally honest, as an […]
ESPN The Magazine has undertaken a research project focused on high school football talent and where they attend college. Heather Dinich’s blog entry today at ESPN.com highlights the struggles that NC State and Georgia Tech have had since Chuck Amato left Raleigh. When it comes to keeping top talent at home, Georgia Tech and NC […]
Chris over at Maryland fan blog TurtleDroppings.com contacted SFN this week about exchanging a Q & A about Saturday’s season finale. We were glad to oblige. Below are the SFN questions (bold) that Chris answered (unedited). Go here to see the questions SFN answered for Chris. Talk about those uniforms. The uniforms have been an […]
Well, that was fun. It was one of those perfect North Carolina November days, the atmosphere inside Carter-Finley was great, and that team we saw could’ve competed with anyone in the nation yesterday. But it was also mind-numbingly frustrating after last week’s trip to Chestnut Hill. Where on earth has yesterday’s team been? Yesterday’s win […]
