The ACC released the 2015 football schedules: TheACC.com. State will have six home games and a Friday night game at Virginia Tech. It’s suprising we didn’t buy out of the road trip to South Alabama, but the home schedule is a major upgrade over last year. No front-loading in September with two home conference games […]
I just ran across this thanks to a tweet from the Wolfpack Club and thought I would share with the community. Every time that a new NC State schedule is released (for football and basketball in particular), I immediately start logging the games into my calendar while in the back of my head I’m asking, […]
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 […]
We’re not the only ones commenting on the continued poor non-conference scheduling (more background here). Pat Forde has some general comments about the scheduling in 2014, with several of those comments either specific to or relating to State. 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), […]
In a surprise to absolutely no one, NC State is buying out of the rest of the Central Michigan series as reported by the AP. MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. — Central Michigan says N.C. State is buying out the finale of a three-game football series between the schools, meaning next year’s game in Mount Pleasant won’t be […]
More to come, but the schedule is released here. “I always want a difficult schedule,” Gottfried said. “I want to be aggressive even in a year when we are so young and inexperienced.” In addition to an enhanced 18-game ACC slate, the Wolfpack will play 10 games against teams that played in the 2013 NCAA […]
