Episode #74
NC State fired Dave Doeren after 14 seasons, and Philip Rivers is the name everyone is talking about to replace him. Athletic director Boo Corrigan still hasn't taken a single question. So who made the call, why now...
Episode #73
NC State fired Dave Doeren after 14 seasons, and athletic director Boo Corrigan still hasn't taken a single question. So who actually made the call, and why now? Greg was in the stands at Stanford on Friday night when...
Episode #72
NC State went 1-2 in Chris Hart's first fall, and Ethan still walked away liking this team. Greg and Ethan go through all three exhibitions, including the 7-4 win over UNC at the DBAP. They cover the three stars at the...
Episode #71
Chuck Amato died Monday morning at 80, and we threw out the plan and spent the first part of the show on him. He played here, won two ACC wrestling titles here, coached here as an assistant, and came home from Florida...
Episode #70
Lila Manfredonia is the No. 8 overall recruit in the 2028 class, and she committed to NC State before she left Raleigh. She came down for the Louisville weekend, went to the football game, and told the staff she was in...
Episode #68
Tied 28-28 in the fourth quarter, Louisville breaks a 68-yard run and is walking into the end zone. Harvey Dyson III, a defensive end who rushed from the line of scrimmage on that snap, runs the back down and strips the...
Episode #67
Jeff Brohm called his starting quarterback a game-time decision on Monday. Five days before kickoff. That is not an injury update. Our read is that Louisville already knows Lincoln Kienholz is not playing Saturday, and...
Episode #66
Dave Doeren ended his press conference Saturday by stepping back to the microphone to say "by the way, we won that football game." Macon spent about five minutes on that. You are 2-2. You just let a 21-0 lead become a...
Episode #65
Ethan said the quiet part out loud four days after Nashville: "If it weren't for the way NC State lost, I don't know that I'd be thinking App State could win this game." That is where this program sits going into...
Episode #64
Greg was in the building in Nashville. Layton found out from a text message at a wedding. Ethan spent Sunday with the box score and came back with a number nobody else in NC State media is saying out loud: by win...
Tuffy Talk
James Henderson from Inside Pack Sports joined us, and he is taking NC State in Nashville. His reasoning is the whole episode: "If you're NC State, you have to believe you have the better quarterback going into this...
Tuffy Talk
Victor Snow has one catch through two games. The coaching staff spent the preseason telling everybody he was a dog. Through two games he has been out-touched by a fourth string running back, he went out with the twos on...
Episode #61
Two of the three of us are taking Richmond and the points. The number is 32.5. Ethan took the Spiders, Greg took the Spiders, and Layton went the other way mostly so it would not be a clean sweep on our own team...
Episode #60
CJ Bailey has taken four days of it. So the question worth asking is whether the criticism is justified. During the game Layton tweeted that either Bailey was extremely overrated and playing terribly, or nobody was...
Episode #59
Doeren said at halftime that the wide receivers needed to get open. Ethan's answer: the wide receivers who do get open, you let them walk. You told The Athletic last week that you picked the offensive line over them...
Episode #58
Eric Mac Lain from the ACC Network joined us to preview NC State at Virginia, and he picked the Cavaliers. But the part worth staying for is what he said about Dave Doeren. Asked about the fans who want a change, a...
Episode #57
Three of us went on the record before the season and came out with three different numbers. Layton has NC State at 10-2. Greg has them 9-3. Ethan has them 8-4. And Greg is the only one of the three who does not have the...
Episode #56
Layton has NC State going 10-2 this season. Ethan has them 8-4. And both of them circled the exact same game as the loss, which is not UNC and not Florida State. It is Duke, on November 7th. Ethan's case is that the...
Episode #55
Two people went through the first six games of NC State's schedule and disagreed on exactly one of them. It is not Virginia and it is not Louisville. Ethan calls the Louisville game the biggest fifty-fifty on the entire...
Episode #54
The Technician ran a piece headlined "don't let the Doeren hit you on the way out," twelve days before the season starts. Sub .500 in conference, no ACC Championship appearances, a losing bowl record. Here is what that...
