I wouldn’t go anywhere close to saying that most State fans only care about beating Carolina, but there is no doubt that today’s game against the Tarheels provides Wolfpacknation a golden opportunity to end this miserable season with a much better taste in our mouth than we have experienced since September. The ‘Observers’ had a […]

NC State Beats UNC on Penalty Kicks to Advance in ACC Tourney!
#20 NC State won a crucial 1st round matchup versus #2 UNC in the first round of the ACC Men’s Soccer Championship in Cary, NC. In brutal weather conditions, the teams played two regulations and two sudden death overtimes without scoring a goal. In the shootout, senior NC State goalkeeper Christopher Widman of Greensboro, NC […]
Don’t touch the Chief…
This came to me on an email earlier today, and I see that it’s being discussed elsewhere. For any of you who don’t frequent other sites, I didn’t want you to miss out on this gem. Check the 26 second mark of the video. Woody has that typical Tar Heel trait that they just assume […]
Duke has Pig Flu – UNC has “Stunted Growth Syndrome”
Duke football is dealing with a near-epidemic case of Swine Flu, and to date there isn’t much you can do to avoid a random H1N1 attack. You could obviously help your odds a bit by wearing a mask to work, confining yourself to a bubble, and/or canceling your vacation to that third-world-country paradise resort. But […]
NC State – North Carolina picked as a top ‘rivalry’ for 2009
First, I detest the inappropriate use of the term ‘rivalry’ used to describe a short term time horizon such as a single season. No matter how long they play football on this earth the Florida State – Wake Forest game will never be a ‘rivalry’. Could they really not have found a better term to […]
Cheap Seats Football Retrospective: Part IV, 2007-Present
This is Part IV of a five-part series that is by no means intended to be authoritative. Rather, it’s nothing more than an incomplete, inconclusive, sometimes erroneous, while always biased retrospective of recent State football history. Part of this was based on nothing more than my attempt to answer the question so many of us […]
Tobacco Road Football – HD picks “Carolina” despite ranking State higher in power ratings
First, I really liked this entry on the ACC Atlantic’s Ultimate 2009 schedule. The Wolfpack’s games comprise almost half the season with five selections and that doesn’t include the last game of the year when Carolina travels to Carter-Finley. Maybe that game could have made the list if the Tarheels could have kept the score […]

Only 12% Of State Fans Dislike Krzyzewski
In a Public Policy Polling release, some interesting numbers come to light regarding North Carolina fans and their likes and dislikes in terms of college athletics. NC State is the second in popularity in NC, with 19% of respondents labeling themselves as Wolfpack fan. Nearly twice as many respondents, 37% identified as Tar Heel faithful, […]
Virginia leaves Fowler alone in wilderness of failure
Alternative title: Things I never thought I’d say – ‘Still dreaming of a trip to Omaha’ (Picture above was emailed to SFN from a reader. If anyone out there deserves ‘credit’ then please let us know) Since Lee Fowler became NC State’s Athletics Director, the Virginia Cavaliers – whose overall athletics program ranks near the […]
