What a beautiful day and an excellent excuse to tailgate. As opposed to years past, both sides of Carter-Finley were open and about 20-25k Pack fans showed up…both sides of the lower levels were close to being full.

Much maligned in 2009, this young group must step up its play in 2010 if the Pack hopes to win. Like that rhyming? Pretty sick. Someone forward this blog to Dre. Anywho…No question that the youngest position group on the field last season were the defensive backs and it is no question that it showed. [...]

As alluded to yesterday, one of the two major questions facing the Wolfpack this spring is the future of All-ACC Quarterback Russell Wilson. Will he stay on and pilot one of the ACC’s most prolific offenses for another season? Or will Mike Glennon be forced to step in and take the reins? Also, who is [...]
