TBT to this great opportunity my alma mater gave me last year. A great honor!

Let the record show I was in favor of this hire. I tried to pose some devil's advocate takes but ultimately this is the right time to make a move like this. Super risky, still, and high chance it doesn't work. But better than a run of the mill G5 coach.
It's official: Philip Rivers agreed to terms on a contract to become the next NC State football head coach. The contract is set to be voted on by the NC State Board of Trustees on Friday.

That 14/19 Vandy-UVA playoff game would have played exclusively on Sheetz gas pumps, but only on pumps 20-27 which are the ones on the far end by the raccoon nest.

Teams to never make the ACC championship game (started in 2004/05 season):
Maryland - left in 2014
Syracuse - joined 2013
Cal - joined 2024
Stanford - joined 2024
NC State - only team to be in conference for entire existence of title game and not play in it
People are giving @TomFornelli crap for this take but honestly, no lies detected. This is a super dangerous time for NC State and they need to be a hot commodity in a few years when the ACC inevitably collapses. Will it work out? I sure hope so, but it's far from a slam dunk.
“How do you not go through a full interview process?”
@TomFornelli has some SERIOUS concerns about NC State's expected hire of Philip Rivers 🤔

Fun fact for tonight: ETSU holds a 3-1 all-time series lead over NC State, riding a three-game winning streak against the Wolfpack that dates back to their last meeting in 1992.

Love this. And also it has always been funny to me wondering how Chubb got the Twitter handle @astronaut. You'd think someone would have gotten that before, like an actual astronaut, I dk.

Another phenomenal episode breaking down the Doeren firing, and where NC State goes from here.
Lotcast 116 - All Rivers Lead to Raleigh?
Philip Rivers talk is intensifying. We covered the decision to move on from Doeren, how coaching fits into the current pay-for-play model, and of course the chatter on 17.
