Sure hope you're not one of those fans that always wondered what could have been if Rivers had redshirted one year and played with the stacked defense we had a year after he graduated.

First off - way to completely ignore the comment. And no.

Anyways I'm done - I think we're getting enough hate from bickering back and forth - we won't change the others opinion.

"Dear Wolfpacker, My staff and I have turned our complete focus and energy to bringing in our 2014 signing class and beginning our off-season strength and conditioning program for our returning players. As that occurs, I want to express my sincere appreciation for your support this past season. You are one of the primary reasons I wanted to be at NC State - because of your reputation for being passionate about the Wolfpack every day. I especially appreciate the show of support you gave to our seniors in their final home game. Our results on the field this year fell short of expectations, and I assure you that we feel the pain sharply as student-athletes, coaches, and support staff who come to work every day at the Murphy Football Center with the goal of creating a Top 25 football program. I also assure you that we are making strides in a number of important areas. Our goals and vision for the future of NC State football have not changed. We will continue to work relentlessly to make that vision a reality for all of you who love Wolfpack Football. Below are a few updates. 1. As a staff, we pride ourselves on working as hard at recruiting as any program in the country. While we won’t know until February 5th who our “Pack14” recruit class will actually include, our group is currently ranked in the top 30 nationally by Scout and Rivals. We feel confident about the talent and character of the young men who we are bringing into our program. 2. We played 11 true freshmen this season (one of the highest numbers in the country). They showed flashes of potential, and after a year in our off-season conditioning program, they will be much better prepared to compete successfully than they were in 2013. Of course, our off-season conditioning program is also aimed at protecting us against the number of injuries we faced this past season. 3. We have 20 talented returning players who red-shirted last season, and they will become valuable additions to our program in the future, including a quarterback who was ranked as the third-best in the nation coming out of high school and who transferred here last spring. 4. We have begun thoroughly evaluating every part of our program during the off-season, including offensive and defensive schemes, strength and conditioning, nutrition, and practice routines to best ensure we make the necessary adjustments to help us be much improved next season. Good things are in store for those who love State. I appreciate your sticking with us through a challenging first season and look forward to enjoying our future success together as members of the Pack. Sara and I hope your holidays are joyous ones with family and friends. We are proud to be at NC State with our three boys and to call Raleigh home. 1 Pack, 1 Goal. Dave Doeren Head Football Coach"

I like how he slipped the injuries in there. GG Doeren.

12/9/2013 10:19:11 PM

Should have mentioned the wind in there somewhere.

12/10/2013 7:54:49 AM

Are these letters normal? Did TOB or Chesty McClown send these out post-season?

12/10/2013 8:13:22 AM

Can't recall it. But then again, they didn't tweet red light updates and inform the internet that we are in need of ballers.

If only twitter was around for the Chuck years.

12/10/2013 8:46:16 AM

I'm guessing it was Debbie's idea. Doesn't she like sending out letters? Like apologizing for our coaching search taking so long..

12/10/2013 8:46:21 AM

Already hitching his wagon to Brissett. Dude is going to be under a lot of pressure to succeed.

12/10/2013 9:30:44 AM

Debbie has also been mentioning him by name in letters

dude is gonna be under a ridiculous amount of pressure

12/10/2013 9:32:28 AM

especially with that SOS

Ultimately his job will ride on McLendon's success

12/10/2013 11:42:25 AM

^ If Brissett flames out as badly as Mitchell and Thomas, Doeren may not get enough years to let McLendon develop.

12/10/2013 1:42:34 PM

Which would be silly - dude did the best job he could to get a decent QB here. It's not like there are a ton of quality QB transfers to choose from.

"“His [Brissett] leadership is phenomenal,” Doeren said. “I think it was a great year for him developmentally, from a mental standpoint. Our team respects him, our staff respects him. I don’t want to put undue pressure on him because he still has to go out and play football, but we’re all excited about his leadership at that position.”"

1/27/2014 8:15:06 PM

45 dollars for an open bar at a shitty place wouldnt be bad but to talk football and troll the staff drunk id be all over that.

1/28/2014 1:35:18 AM

The second worst troll on this site

1/28/2014 1:57:56 AM

I missed this (polar plunge 2013 for special olympics)

2/20/2014 1:29:45 PM

an open bar with fans and the coaching staff after last season sounds like a BAAAAAAAAAAD idea.

2/20/2014 1:37:12 PM

^^Win gold?

2/20/2014 2:02:34 PM

^pretty funny!

4/4/2014 12:01:45 PM

posted this elsewhere but Went to the PNC to do some stuff about my canes tickets, heard music blasting so headed over to the practice field....we are GOING to SUCK badly minus #21 the RB.

4/4/2014 1:03:23 PM

so you deduced that from watching a few minutes of practice? impressive!

4/4/2014 1:07:47 PM

^^they see me trollin....they hatin.....

deduced from <10 minutes watching a team practice itself in the spring.....you are the next todd mcshay sir!

4/4/2014 2:05:23 PM

When the qb throws 9 passes about 20 yards past the out of bounds marker and the first run sweep is a fumble afterwards, why yes yes I do.

4/4/2014 5:00:43 PM

damn, so you're saying you saw the proof that our qb can't hit the broad side of a barn? alright, it's decided, no tickets this year.

4/4/2014 5:07:45 PM

saying we're going to suck this year isn't exactly a revelation that required insider knowledge. i don't think anyone expected very much after last year.

I decided that without needing to see practice.

4/5/2014 7:54:37 AM

well all of our quarterbacks are either nfl stars or can't hit the blind side of the barn.

4/5/2014 12:40:57 PM

when he finally wins a conference game he'll gain a couple of credibility points

4/5/2014 1:11:45 PM

Our last ACC win was against BC, on November 24, 2012.

We start off ACC play this year against FSU, and then at Clemson.

4/5/2014 3:41:21 PM

Lots of empty seats this year.....count on it. Money talks. He needs to win and soon.

4/5/2014 4:46:53 PM

we have considered getting season tickets and selling several of them just to keep club points going. this home schedule is for the price. honestly pissed me off a little bit when i got the email from state about renewal that said buying seasons would "save" vs single games... the difference was $5.

4/5/2014 5:20:09 PM

We sucked last year...and could be as bad this year and people are trolling me? LOL

Welcome back

4/7/2014 10:14:05 AM

Look buttholes, its still lots of time before the season starts. We got a lot of new guys, and a whole lot of plays. It takes time for the team to gel so declaring we're going to suck as bad as last year in the beginning of April is being a piss poor fan. Save that for the season.

4/7/2014 10:15:52 AM

^^ eh, I'm around, place is just boring now, the petulant children have taken over.

I like him, good recruiting and they played Richmond tough

LOL. Can't wait for the spring game.

So, how is everyone rating the spring game? I say it went okay for our first team playing the second team. Way to boost morale..
