Highest Preseason Ranking in program's history!!

Puts everything into perspective. Lamar Hamlin.

Wolfpack getting all they can handle from Boston College. They are down 52-43 with 4:14 left in the third quarter. BC is out hustling the Pack on the boards. Diamond is playing and has scored double digits so far but the rest of the team is not shooting well. Hobby has had problems bringing the ball down and getting tied up or having the ball stolen.

It's been interesting seeing what Charlotte Providence Day linebackers Liam Groulx and Keyaan Abdul-Rahim were going to do. Groulx decided to be a preferred walk-on at Michigan and Abdul-Rahim has picked being a walk-on at NC State. Abdul-Rahim could easily be a factor on special teams I think and be a good depth guy at linebacker. Super productive player.

He had 132 tackles, 10 tackles for loss and five sacks this past season.

Some video from his junior year, and at some point I'll have two videos from his senior year.

At this point, is "Tobacco Road" just a memory in our rear view mirrors? Have we lost interest, as DeCock poses, or have we just been waiting for something more reliable to cheer about? I have to say my zeal for the sport isn't what it was a few decades ago. Sometimes I just have to turn the TV off nowadays, dreading that I will witness a backslide once we've taken a lead...for both football and basketball. I've seen it too many times.

I'm pining for something more reliable. Is that a pipe dream in today's world of college hoops, Raleigh, NC version? Hmmm.

Junior lineman Kam Pringle of Dorchester (S.C.) Woodland High has a top six of NC State, Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, South Carolina and Clemson. He's unofficially visited NC State in the past.

How many butts will be in seats for this game? Don’t care about tickets sold, only in actual attendance. I recognize we’ll have to just eye ball it as they don’t announce how many tickets were scanned, only how many were sold. With that said, I’m going to go with 10,000

PNC Arena had a listed 15,188 for the game.

Jacey,
I want to say we finished second with this young man first time around. Any word on where he is looking?
