The two Carolinas will open the 2015 season in Charlotte. Congratulations to them for getting it right. I personally think this is great for both fan bases and also the region. I’ve long-believed an annual series between State and South Carolina in Charlotte — like a much inferior Red River Rivalry or Cocktail Party — […]
South Carolina Gamecocks
BREAKING NEWS: Weslye Saunders (I spelled it ‘correctly’) questioned by NCAA
If we polled NC State fans for some of their least favorite players in college football history, South Carolina’s Weslye Saunders would rank much higher than anyone would ever expect from a tight end that plays for a non-conference opponent that calls Columbia, SC home. Last August, we highlighted the following classless comment from Weslye […]
On March 7, 1970…
On March 7, 1970… Unranked NC State defeated Frank McGuire’s 3rd-ranked South Carolina Gamecocks in double overtime by a score of 42-39 to win Atlantic Coast Conference Championship in the Charlotte Coliseum. South Carolina had achieved immortality by compiling an undefeated conference record of 14-0 in the regular season. The loss kept the Gamecocks from […]
It Only Takes One Rotten Fan To Spoil A Stadium
Unfortunately these days, some people have forgotten the simple social graces and how to act civilly to one another. Or worse, their parents never taught them (as we say in the south) how to act. Many excuse poor behavior with a dismissal that goes something like “it happens everywhere, so what do you expect?” Worst […]
Carter-Finley Stadium Time Lapse Video
I couldn’t figure out how to embed this video so I have to provide you the link to it. Pretty cool, and looks pretty good with the colors and the students’ “White Out”. Hope you enjoy. While we are showing videos, how can we not archive the following for the future? Thing about this missed […]
Saturday Stuff
I’m still licking wounds and dealing with depression from Thursday and I just want to turn my attention forward. So, we are NOT going to re-hash all of the post-mortems from Thursday night. The Wolfpack should have no problem heading into the Pitt game on September 26th with a little rust worked off the machine […]
South Carolina Post-Game – The Perfect Blueprint
You have to hand it to the ol’ ball coach. He managed to do what nobody could in 2008 – stopped Russell Wilson cold. When asked by the media afterwards how he managed to bottle up Wilson like that, Spurrier exclaimed “We’ve got athletes!” That they do. But what almost nobody is able to to […]
NC State vs South Carolina Game Thread & Special Spy Pictures from Columbia
We want to thank our spies in Columbia, South Carolina who were kind enough to send us this never before seen picture of the South Carolina Gamecocks’ bus rolling towards Raleigh. Thanks so much (to our Clemson friends!) I find it interesting that the Wolfpack started the week a -3.5 point favorite and saw that […]
Fear and Loathing* in Carter-Finley
This time tomorrow, it will be gameday. For the first time in several years, disaster doesn’t seem imminent. The players are confident. The fans are confident. Hell, the weather is even going to be perfect. Doesn’t that scare the crap out of anyone else? At NC State, we are always the most confident before impending […]
