one of my favorites that i attended was the ncsu @ va tech where we won after the drunkard kicker missed in the closing seconds...was right there at that end zone

8/5/2008 6:44:10 PM

I've only really been a state fan since I enrolled there

so 2004-present

My top few would have to be Hodge's layup vs Uconn, the game winning INT in the endzone to beat GT (Rumph ?), and Dunlap's catch vs BC

Everything thing else is just a hodgepodge of mediocrity

8/5/2008 6:44:42 PM

Rivers' first year was pretty awesome all the way around. From the first win against Ark St to the comeback against Indiana on the road to the charging of the field against Ga Tech to the game down to the wire at #3 Clemson and ultimately the huge comeback against Minn to win the bowl game...

8/5/2008 6:51:05 PM

just realized that a fair amount of people on here werent around when State was pretty damn good at football... I was expecting to see every single memory be Rivers related

8/5/2008 6:55:57 PM

i dont think the GT pick was Rumph.....Heath?

I've only really been a state fan since I enrolled there

so 2005-present

my favorite memories are the NCSU vs UNC win in 2007, beating UNC in football last year

8/5/2008 7:01:45 PM

We cant forget the much needed ass whooping that we laid on Notre Dame down there in the Gator Bowl....it was the icing on the cake of a kick ass season! The closest thing Ive had to a football championship since I was at State from '98-03!


We had such a shit load of fans down there in Jacksonville it was AWESOME!!

8/5/2008 7:33:25 PM

torry v. fsu in 98
beating fsu at home in 02 (first (and only) time ever rushing the field)
being at the tangerine bowl in 03 for philips last ever game
being uconn to make the sweet 16 in 05
beating unc at home in 07 and rushing the court for the first time

8/5/2008 8:03:18 PM

Probably when we beat Duke a few years back in the RBC when they were first place. I was like two or three rows back and center court for that game.

8/5/2008 8:08:42 PM

FSU 1998 hands down.
I still own a black nSc diamond hat that I found while rushing the field.

8/5/2008 8:17:08 PM

Fall '02 - Running to the bell tower after watching us destroy Clemson on Thursday night football

8/5/2008 8:31:14 PM

is that when the mob of people ran all over campus trying not to be wrangled in by the police?

I used to have the pic of the goal posts being taken down and I could pick my face out of the crowd. I know it's around TWW somewhere, seems like I saw it a few days ago.

8/5/2008 8:51:26 PM

yeah, it was quite awesome when they started spraying pepper spray into the air

8/5/2008 11:33:07 PM

I like the 1997 Syracuse game mentioned earlier. Also, the Torry Holt show against FSU after their player talked shit the previous week.

90-At UNC......94 Vs. Duke when Duke was 8-3 reg season....and of course 98/01 FSU and the Gator Bowl. If we had beaten tOSU in 03, that would easily be the biggest and greatest comeback....Not much else since 03.

8/6/2008 10:49:39 AM

Dunlap catch vs. BC in 2006. There were definitely more significant events over the past few years, but I wasn't actually there for any of them. Being in a stadium for what was essentially a game winning hail mary won't be topped for a while.

8/6/2008 10:53:05 AM

Does anybody remember the 2006 State-WF game with the BS ref? At one point, he made a call, which the fans booed, so I'm pretty sure he made up a call against Wake, to keep his car from being keyed. We lost, but it was a funny moment.

Also, when State's #1 defense couldn't stand up to Devin Hester's opening kickoff return, another funny thing.

I didn't start watching sports until 2001 and I was a Maryland fan. My first State moment would not surface until Jules' "When We Hongry" quote.

8/7/2008 9:48:56 PM

^^^ Not that pic

Beating Duke in 2003 (?) when they were ranked #1 was pretty cool. Leaving the arena to snow and canceled classes was a nice bonus.

8/7/2008 9:51:50 PM

I also have to add NCSU vs ECU 1997 (football). Both teams were 5-5 on the year and it was their first trip to Raleigh in a long time. We won and finished 6-5. ECU fans got to see their team end the season at 5-6.

that's the best you could come up w/? a one game over .500 season forcing ecu to a one game under .500 season?

8/7/2008 10:18:41 PM

I can't believe there was no parade

8/7/2008 10:26:09 PM

Its NC State

anything over .500 in either sport is a pretty big deal

8/7/2008 10:37:36 PM

damn ernie are you THAT young... You dont remember Earnest Byner?

8/7/2008 10:41:16 PM

Silly me to forget the overwhelming Wolfpack presence on every Pro Bowl roster

8/7/2008 10:42:22 PM

Win over #1 d00k in 04
comeback win over Wake that same year.
evans to dunlap
evans over noles
hodge over uconn
nit game in reynolds (lame i know...that shit was fun)
GT baseball in 06 at home. took 2/3 that weekend they were ranked#2 I think.


There should be a few more, but we suck. We've had some great games though.

Torry Holt, Adrian Wilson, Phil Rivers, and Mario Williams have recently made Pro Bowls....that's 4.

8/7/2008 10:54:51 PM

cant believe no one has mentioned the ~'91 game where Tom Guggliotta poured in ~33 points against UNC.

Glad to see someone grabbed the CC Harrison vs UNC game in '97

I would like to think someone would have at least mentioned the NC State - Duke game in the '97 tournament that started our run to the finals.

Obv the win against UNC in bball two years ago was monumental.

As hard as I try I cant think of a single big win in football except the time Weinke threw 6 INT's or when Holt ripped FSU.

I cant believe someone mentioned the game where Adrian McPherson got busted for illegally fixing the outcome. If thats seriously even in your top 20 you need to re-evaluate your sports life.

8/7/2008 10:58:26 PM

the "giving him the business" shenanigans last year.

I have already posted plenty of other things that were 10 times better than that, but that was still a fun game because of the situation.

8/8/2008 5:35:14 PM

Mario was a Pro-Bowler last year regardless of how they voted....

And yeah that was me with CC's God-like performance at UNC.....

8/9/2008 12:04:38 AM

I miss the good old days in the early 2000's when we were good at football and bball. These youngans these days don't know how much that adds to the college experience.

Gator Bowl was biiiiiig in 02

Bennerman dunking on the landlord in 05 and we beat duke.

Us beating UConn to goto the sweet 16 in 05 and the announcers didn't know what to say cause they had been talking about UConn the whole game.

Us playing Ohio State and after killing ourselves the first half with dumb mistakes, us comming back and going into 3 overtimes.

8/9/2008 12:39:23 AM

I miss the fucking bad ass names that came through the bball program. I don't think any other program had cooler names than "Marcus Melvin, Cameron Bennerman, Julius Hodge, Scooter Sherill, and Illian Evtimov". Kevin Love, you may have gotten drafted, but your name sucks.

8/9/2008 12:53:30 AM

Lets not forget this past weekends ECU game.

9/23/2008 5:37:20 PM

^^You forgot Clifford Crawford

9/23/2008 5:41:21 PM

So far for me it was last year's football game against Carolina... I would like to say something from the Rivers era but I wasn't there in person in the student section

Phil Rivers junior season victory of Clemson on national TV
Same season win over FSU @ C-F (I was there)
Phils Senior Season thriller in Columbus, OH vs. Thee Ohio State
Danny Evan's game winning passes vs. BC and FSU (I was there at the FSU) one
NC State @ the Gator Bowl.

9/23/2008 5:52:33 PM

I don't have any best wolfpack sports memories anymore



because every time we win



we follow up with total failure.

9/23/2008 6:09:29 PM
