Hard-nosed North Carolina State linebacker Audie Cole made his case with the NFL brass this week at the Senior Bowl. For the Wolfpack, Cole was ultra-productive with 328 career tackles, 32 1/2 tackles for losses and 15 sacks. The 6-foot-4, 258-pounder was a semifinalist for the Butkus Award and led the team in tackles for the past three seasons.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- N.C. State's defense made a habit this season of coming up with big plays at precisely the right time to help the Wolfpack pick up enough wins to reach the postseason. In Tuesday night's Belk Bowl versus Louisville, the defense was charged with that responsibility again, but this time had to make up for an N.C. State special teams that was dominated by...

You may remember former Tennessee Volunteer football Nu’Keese Richardson. The freshman wide receiver was kicked off the team after police arrested him last November for attempted armed robbery. Though he was given a three-year prison sentence for his crime, if he violates his court-ordered probation he will likely go to prison. No longer a student at Tennessee, Richardson has...

(Regular HHR contributors Rusty and The Cynic are born-and-bred fans of the North Carolina State Wolfpack and the Nebraska Cornhuskers, respectively. The one thing they have in common is having been suckered into recruiting hype. In time for National Signing Day, we at HHR thought it might be good for them to provide some perspective. Enjoy.)Ah, signing day—the pedophile’s national...

Who is the X-factor in the Los Angeles-Denver series? Trevor Ariza. When Ariza is making threes it opens up the Los Angeles defense and allows Kobe Bryant to drive the ball much easier. Derek Fisher has struggled offensively, meaning its up to Ariza to pick up the slack. In game seven [...]

The Wolfpack (5-5, 2-4 ACC) is in another of those tight squeezes, losing two of its last three games and on the verge of elimination from the bowl picture. "We're down, but that's when we play our best, when our backs are against the wall and stuff like that," receiver T.J. Graham said. "We're not a front-running type team." Pulling itself out won...

Although N.C State David Amerson leads the FBS in interceptions with 11, he certainly does not lead the NCAA. The current leader in interceptions is Bucknell’s defensive back Bryce Robertson with 13. What? You’ve never heard of him? Well now you have! Robertson as a Senior has emerged as the leader for this Bison defense, and while doing so, he has created the treacherous Robertson...

TOB . . . TOBingAs a NC State fan and alum, it pains me to see the Wolfpack struggle like they have this season. But alas, as a Wolfpack fan, I'm kinda used to it.

Tom O'Brien isn't going anywhere.There are several reasons, and I...

Russell Wilson to Stay at Rival NC State Tom O'Brien, NC State Head Coach, said today that Russell Wilson would be playing football for the Wolfpack in 2010. This is big news for Wolfpack fans after an off-season of hoping would not enter the MLB draft.

If the name Taylor Gentry escapes you, don’t feel bad. Gentry, after all, plays the unglamorous role of fullback for the North Carolina State Wolfpack, and through three years of playing time, has never once carried the ball. Still, Gentry has made a tremendous mark on the Wolfpack football program in other ways since his arrival as a preferred walk-on in Raleigh in 2008, pulling...

Auburn needs a replacement for Cam Newton and Russell Wilson is a man without a school at the moment, and now it seems the two have mutual interest in one another.
