jarvis-williams Stories - Backing The Pack
A Look At NC State
Background: UC has never played NC State in Football before. The Pack have by and large been a bit of a disappointment in my eyes since Tom O'Brien left Chestnut Hill to go to Raleigh. He has blown a little hot and cold in recruiting for State vacillating between average and good, the 2010 class...
NC State Is Back In The Polls
Checking in at #23 in the Coaches' Poll and #21 in the AP Poll. This didn't work out so well the other two times, but I'm sure the third time is the charm. In other news: -- DTH: In the postgame, free safety Deunta Williams said that the personal foul along with a previous one earlier in the...

Cincinnati Game Grades
Offense Oh, there you are. I'm not sure State's offense was ten times better than it was against Central Florida, but the unit looked a hell of a lot better, and more importantly put plenty of points in the scoreboard. This was a performance much more in line with what we expected coming into the...

Fall camp begins this afternoon, always an exciting occasion because it makes the football season seem about five times closer than it did this time last week. There's a lot to look forward to, y'know, actual football things, but as usual there's that sense of injury-related doom permeating...
