Will Wade NC State Backlash

Dear Willlllllll,

You sure are good at taking losses, so consider this a few extra L’s on your way out. And don’t let the door hit ya. 

Don’t you dare think we’re grieving you one bit. A few upset students does not a grieving fanbase make—and we’ll give them grace. 

The rest of Wolfpack Nation clocked it immediately: You were never our kind of guy. You don’t fit our culture. You’re all about yourself. This was never about building something—it was always about your ego.

You could barely win in a power conference before—even cheating. And still, for some reason, State gave you a shot at redemption.

But we knew you’d be out the door the first chance you got. We just didn’t think you’d prove us right that fast.

You can take your me-first attitude, sloppy quarter zips, coarse language and sideline antics straight to the Bayou—you’ll fit right in with Kim and Lane. 

We won’t think about you one bit. In fact, I hope they don’t even put your name in the media guide next year.

Here? We expect more. If you’re going to come to Tobacco Road, you need to win the right way—and act like it matters.

Enjoy being third on your own campus. Hope that extra couple mil was worth it. My guess? Your next payday’ll come about three or four years down the road when you get fired again. 

Either way, we’ll be just fine without you. We already are.

NC State carries on its seven-game win streak

Alexa, play “Stayin’ Alive” by the Bee Gees—because NC State men’s basketball continues to survive and advance, earning a coveted spot in the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16 for the first time since 2015 (!). Hoop dreams, indeed. 

With a seven-game winning streak (hey, ACC Tourney Champs!), it’s hard not to catch Wolfpack Nation’s hype—with hoards of fans hitting Hillsborough Street to celebrate in front of the red-lit Belltower aglow after each W, social media celebrations running amok, and fans all over donning their gear to rep the red and white. 

Here, a smattering of behind-the-scenes snaps from the Wolfpack’s latest dub against Oakland as the hype builds for NC State’s upcoming Friday night faceoff versus Marquette in Dallas. The Cardiac Pack’s heartbeat is still going strong—and it’s essential WPN keeps that momentum going. … After all, why not us?
