NC State released yesterday a closer look at their scheduling process and philosophy. In it they talk about the three key ingredients of the process, why the soft 2014 & 2015 OOC schedules, as well as releasing new OOC opponents in the future. How does a college football schedule come together? While not an exact […]
For all of your whining and complaining in recent years…the following isn’t too bad…especially when we play Florida State, Clemson, Louisville and North Carolina every season. Sprinkle in some future dates with a familiar Duke program and I don’t find much for Wolfpack fans to complain about. (Of course, that doesn’t mean it will stop […]
Got some updates on this season’s out of conference basketball schedule that we have been tracking in recent months. * The Tennessee Volunteers have released their non-conference basketball schedule for the upcoming season at includes a December 17th visit to PNC Arena to play the Wolfpack. * In addition to this match-up against the SEC, […]
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.

It’s interesting that we are in a little bit of a streak of basketball related news here in the middle of June. Obviously, tonight is TJ Warren’s big night in the NBA Draft…so, we will all be watching that and hoping that TJ goes to a team that is a great fit (and also fun […]

SFN has noted recently that the trend shows declining attendance across college football, even in the SEC […]
Like Oklahoma State and Tennessee before, LSU has bought out its future home and home series with NC State. N.C. State will open the 2015 season in Raleigh with Troy and visit the Trojans in southeastern Alabama in 2017. The Wolfpack had been set to play at LSU in ’17 with the Tigers coming to […]
The 2014 State football schedule has been released (here). Once again, the non-conference schedule looks very similar to the past several years, and, understandably, isn’t one that fuels excitement among those of us who have invested for over a decade in LTRs and season tickets: Georgia Southern (Sun Belt, I-A transition year), Old Dominion (C-USA), […]
It was announced today that NC State will play host to Richmond in Carter-Finley Stadium on September 7, 2013. Although that is the first official confirmation of football dates for next season, it is not the extent of our knowledge of the 2013 football schedule. In addition to Richmond, State will also play host to […]
Luke DeCock gives us the following from this entry today. N.C. State is close to a home-and-home series with Kansas, new basketball coach Mark Gottfried told the Raleigh Sports Club on Wednesday.
