Throwback Uniforms: Yes, No, or …?
There has been a long running social media campaign to get the classic ‘STATE’ uniforms back, and maybe even make them permanent. Thanks to Coach Wade’s social media guy, Reed Vial, who organizes the ‘Basketball 365’ committee and has been the target of many, many X posts like the one above, the old school uniforms […]

NC State’s season-opener against Tennessee lived up to the hype of a top-10 matchup, with the two teams going back and forth on the way to a frantic finish in the fourth quarter. Khamil Pierre knocked down a tough bucket to give State the lead for good with 49 seconds left, and that came just […]

NC State 48, Georgia Tech 36: The advanced box score
They call this one the “defense is extremely optional” box score. Both teams played defense, in that they sent players onto the field to do stuff when they didn’t have the ball, but did they accomplish anything? No, no not really. Georgia Tech, for example, stopped just two of NC State’s 32 rushing attempts at […]

NC State Blasts Central 114-66
Game Summary: Lenovo was rocking! You could see the players smiling a little when the crowd got really loud during the intros. The starting lineup was Holloman, McNeil, Copeland, Williams and Lubin. It seemed like the team was a little nervous and needed Darrion Williams to get things going. And he understood the assignment. It […]

Highlights! NC State’s offense goes big against Georgia Tech
If you’d told me beforehand that Georgia Tech would punt only one time and NC State still would win by multiple scores, I’d have said, sir, this is some clearly crazy talk and please do not insult my intelligence in this manner. Yet somehow this is what happened. But NC State only punted twice itself, […]

NC State’s offense puts it all together in 48-36 win over Georgia Tech
For one week at least, NC State’s offense fulfilled its promise and poured it on a pretty good opponent—Georgia Tech picked a bad week to be Georgia Tech, since there was no getting out of the way. Though the Jackets tried. NC State scored at least 10 points in every quarter on Saturday night, and […]

The BTP degeneracy dungeon, Week 10
Another week, another opportunity to nab some walkin’ around money. The Obligatory Bet Against UNC Of The Week UNC has covered two weeks in a row, but I am undeterred in my faith that order will soon be restored. The Heels are 2.5-point underdogs to a Syracuse team playing with a backup quarterback that just […]

NC State injury report: Hollywood Smothers, Justin Joly questionable
The great thing about this season is not only is it going poorly, but the team’s watchability is eroding as we go along. What a fun time we’re all having! Hollywood Smothers is an unexpected addition to NC State’s first availability report this week, listed as questionable along with JJ Johnson, Justin Joly, and Ronnie […]

Georgia Tech is here to chew gum and run you over
Restoring a program does not have to be complicated. An authentic culture off the field, a clear identity on the field, and a quarterback you can use as the foundation for all of it—those aren’t easy tasks, but they aren’t complicated. Brent Key had Georgia Tech moving back in the right direction roughly three minutes […]

It’s a tough year for a football coaching search
If NC State is going to make a coaching change this year, it will do so in what might be the most hectic carousel cycle to date. Already there are eight power-conference vacancies, including several jobs that are clearly better than NC State’s: LSU, Florida, Penn State, Virginia Tech, UCLA, Stanford, Arkansas, and Oklahoma State.

Predicting the season. What are they saying? What do we think?
The uncertainty factor is at an all-time high this season. With 62 new head coaches, a record number of players transferring, international players becoming a more significant factor, and there’s still the incoming high school players – some of whom will make a difference, predicting the season ahead is impossible. But we do it anyway. […]

NC State finds a new low in 53-34 loss at Pittsburgh
The particulars are not important; how could they be at this point? You’ve seen, you’ve heard, you know. NC State’s defense was so bad on Saturday that it’s hard to actually see that secondary and the Pittsburgh offense play at the same level. Losing is the worst, but being embarrassed in the process is doubly […]

Where does NC State football go from here?
Given the history of the NC State football program, Dave Doeren should be commended for his efforts in stabilizing the program. While he didn’t bring home conference titles like Earle Edwards, Lou Holtz, or Bo Rein, and failed to reach the double-digit win threshold of Chuck Amato, Doeren has supplied stability to the program that […]
