Just something I've been pondering in my head for about a month ... which defense has been better, the one in 2005 for the Wolfpack vs. this season, now that most of the body of work has been finished.

Confirmed for the Hula Bowl in January. Great exposure for the chance to play at the next level.

NC State just offered junior kicker Nolan Hauser of Cornelius (N.C.) Hough, who is fantastic, but now Clemson just offered him. His dad played baseball there and mom is a Hall of Fame soccer player from CU, and his older sister is on the soccer team now. He says he's not a Clemson lock, but history usually shows otherwise. He also has offers from North Carolina and Maryland, and interest from Notre Dame and Ohio State.

1-6 with losses to Siena, Troy, UCF and the Hatters of Stetson. What is up with that?

Lawwuf, dawylie and packpride92 all had 24 points in impressive showings in the last pic' em of the season.

packpride92 picked the Wolfpack to win 28-26 to win the tie-breaker.

Butler coach Thad Matta talked a little about the game, apparently Manny Bates spent his fall break with the guys at NC State and the Bulldogs weren't built for three games in three days probably with eight healthy players. A shooter from Akron and a big man from Georgia State in particular haven't played yet this season.

Somehow my DVR recording got deleted. Is there a replay of the State/unc game?

Pretty good right coach haters? 4th string qb! Where are you haters? Calling all haters to the front please!

Owen Shortt, Bill Covington and Chance Moore the officials for NC State vs. Butler.

Box score from Yahoo! Sports

I am still in Chapel Hill, but will have post-game coverage from Kevin Keatts and players following the game.

Continues to be a class act, even with his starting days winding down to someone who’s sadly proven to be the opposite:

Current Tulane coach and former Georgia Southern coach Willie Fritz could be the top target for Georgia Tech.

From the mouths of babes (or redshirt juniors)! State Sh*t should be forever banned from the lips of Wolfpack faithful.

With the Tennessee and USC game going to overtime, which was won by the Volunteers, the NC State and Dayton game will get pushed back a bit from the 4 p.m. tip on ESPN News.

Former Creedmoor South Granville star Bobby Pettiford hit the game-winner in overtime to help Kansas defeat Wisconsin in the other semifinal.
