Much like our previous breakdown of the entire Atlantic Coast Conference, today we’ll take a look at the 2008 Wolfpack with a focus on trends and issues that are likely to carry over to the 2009 version. I actually starting planning this article during the 2007 season, when I was rudely awakened to just […]

Podcasating football: ‘NC State is a darkhorse’
I was listenting to some podcasts on the airplane this week and heard few football items that I thought would be of interest. From ESPN’s College Football Podcast dated June 2, 2009: Mark Schlabach: “I think NC State is a darkhorse. They are not in the Top 25, but I think Russell Wilson – I […]
Wilson to Play for Coastal Plains League’s Gastonia This Summer
Russell Wilson won’t have a lot of time off from sports this summer, as the Gastonia Grizzlies signed the Wolfpack star to play for their team for part of their year. Wilson will play with Robert Jeroszko from College of Charleston, Matt Thielepape from Winthrop University, Eric Valdez from Indiana State, Â and Greg Van Horn […]
RW featured @ ESPN’s College Football
It is always nice to see the Wolfpack getting some national love and attention; so, we took the following screen shot from the front page of ESPN’s College Football page this morning. This ties nicely to this entry on Wilson and NC State Football that we featured last week.
Good Russell Wilson interview
850TheBuzz has a good interview with Russell Wilson that you will enjoy. (Link to interview) I never stop being impressed by this young man. The latter part of the interview discusses Russell’s passion for baseball as well as football. However, there doesn’t seem to be any legitimate likelihood of Andrew Jones’ dream of Wilson giving […]
Spring Football Entry (Updated 1:45pm)
So many good things keep hitting that we have to keep adding to this entry. After the misery that was much of basketball season, spring brings renewed hope to NC State fans in the form of the off-season football practices that will lay down much of the foundation of this fall’s squad. 850 The Buzz […]
Andrew Jones: Russell Wilson Should Drop Football
Columnist Andrew Jones is of the opinion that it is in Freshman All-American QB Russell Wilson’s best interests to drop football and concentrate on baseball exclusively: He is just 5-foot-10, and with three football injuries on his 2008 resume, focusing just on baseball might be a wise decision for his future. Practice begins in a few […]
Russell Wilson Won’t Need Surgery
Good news on the football (and baseball) front via GoPack.com: [NCSU QB Russell] Wilson, a first-team All-ACC performer, suffered a tear of his posterior cruciate ligament late in the second quarter [of the Papa John’s Pizza Bowl] and did not return to action after halftime. He had passed for 186 yards and a touchdown and […]
Vegas Oddmakers Are Noticing Russell Wilson
One of the dirty little secrets of college athletics is that people actually bet on games. That’s why points spreads exist. A proper point-spread incents equal betting on both sides of the point-spread and creating a 50/50 proposition (if the oddsmakers get things right). But, sometimes it doesn’t work out that way. Sometimes the oddsmakers […]
Focus on Football
We’ve got some solid football items to digest today. Heather Dinich has ranked the ACC Bowl games in order of most entertaining. The Wolfpack vs the Scarlet Knights is a strong second on the list. It’s interesting a bowl that is not an official ACC Bowl and includes the ACC’s 10th team is ranked so […]
