USA Today has an incredible article today proclaiming that the Chargers may have the juice for the Super Bowl. It looks long but it is definitely worth the read as most of it is dedicated to old #17. Relatedly, you will enjoy this link. Chargers general manager A.J. Smith, the longtime Bills scout, was sold […]
Philip Rivers
PR & J-Co Right on Cue
We tried to set a nice vibe yesterday before our former Wolfpackers took the field for the NFL games and we couldn’t be more pleased with how Philip Rivers and Jerricho Cotchery responded. PR had a super game leading the Chargers to their second consecutive route. Rivers was 25 of 35 for 235 yards and […]
Something Nice for Sunday
After the USM debacle – there are plenty of entries for you to peruse below this one – we thought that we would try to focus on something half-way positive for Sunday. It is NFL Sunday and one of the only good things in Wolfpack football is the increased presence of NC State players in […]
Poor Decisions Killing the Pack
“Poor decisions Killing the Pack” Does that sound familiar? Sure it sounds familiar to NC State football fans who have followed the Wolfpack in the 6+ years of the Chuck Amato era. Excessive penalties and turnovers indicated an extreme lack of discipline that helped wrecked the Wolpack’s most recent two football seasons. Even the Philip […]

Mario in Spotlight; Rivers Era Begins (Updated 8/13; 10am)
It is going to be hard not to actively follow Philip Rivers and Mario Williams and other NC State alums in the NFL this year. But, we only have so many resources and time. Regardless, we couldn’t ignore this great piece in the Houston Chronicle today. On the practice fields of Reliant Park, Texans rookie […]
More CTC From DG
As a follow-up to his previous entry that we discussed here, David Glenn has more from his conversation with Chuck Amato here. “Let me tell you how close (things can be in college football). All this stuff is close. If Jamie Barnette was redshirted, when I got here (in 2000) he would have been a […]
Rivers Impressive
We can’t follow every NC State alumnus playing football in the NFL (especially since the number of Wolfpackers in the NFL continues to grow and grow and grow). Additionally, we can’t focus an inordinate amount of attention on Philip Rivers has he gets ready to take the reigns of the San Diego Chargers. But, we […]
