ICYMI on the RWN
Anonymous coach calls Dave "outcoachable." This is my rebuttal.

Shak Moore hit the Portal
I wrote about what went down, what we're losing and my general feelings on the situation.

Will and I also did a Members-only Pod on the topic with a lot of smoker/grill talk

Alim McNeil goes in the 3rd round to the Lions
Pete Thamel loves the pick, as Alim tops his best value picks on the defensive side.

Daniel Joseph gets drafted, still plays for NC State
Well, we all know that Canada as a whole doesn't make a lot of sense but the CFL draft is even more strange.
NC State Sr. Defensive End got picked 4th overall in the Canadian Football League draft on Wednesday. Apparently, the CFL team owns Joseph's rights whenever he's done at NC State if he doesn't get drafted to the NFL.

Even more weird. New Panthers RB, Chuba Hubbard was drafted in the 4th round of the NFL draft and the 5th round of the CFL draft. Huh?
No surprise, he's opted to stay with the Panthers.
Chuba Hubbard was selected in the 4th round of the NFL Draft by the Carolina Panthers and the 5th round of the CFL Draft by the Calgary Stampeders. He's going with Carolina, but if that doesn't work out Calgary has his rights in the CFL. https://t.co/3bUfoeRRj3

ACC Network continues to be baffling
ACC Network put out a documentary on the Notre Dame Football program after being in the league for, wait for it, 1 - year. One. Freaking. Year.
RWN's Matt Coe unloaded on The ACCN on twitter but this one was my favorite
ACC Network makes a documentary for a team that’s not even in the ACC, but purposefully skips over NC State’s Alim McNeill when he gets drafted. Yet every other ACC player gets a special shoutout. Some of you people still think NC State fans are making this stuff up. https://t.co/eoEtUGZCJ8

Skipped over Alim, what are you talking about Matt? Oh, this....
Hey @accnetwork, I think y’all missed one. Ever hear of a guy named Alim McNeill? 🤔🤔 pic.twitter.com/HxMcMezLPu

So they put out tweets and clips about EVERY other draft pick except Alim McNeil's 3rd round selection. At this point it has to be intentional. I refuse to believe they are that incompetent week after week.
Even Chance jumped in. No Chance, I can't imagine it!
Imagine thinking that creating a documentary about Notre Dame Football and airing it on the ACC Network was a good idea https://t.co/9Fija2ATrB

3 Star Nation
Of all the teams that sign the most 3-star football recruits, NC State has the 3rd highest percent drafted. Weird state but shows Dave's ability to identify and develop better than most other names on this list, including UNC.
Of top 25 #CollegeFootball programs to sign most 3⭐️ players (247 composite) from 2012-2016, @PackFootball @HawkeyeFootball and @WVUfootball lead all teams w/highest % of players taken in #NFLDraft:

1️⃣@WVUfootball - 13.5%
2️⃣@HawkeyeFootball - 12.8%

Dave Doeren, Jim Grobe and Tom O'brien walk into a bar...
Nah, that's not the opening to a bad joke. The Peach Bowl Charity golf tourney actually had both TOB and DD and I wish I could have been in on that 4-some.

Somehow, Grobe and Dave shot 80 and still won $20,000 for the charity of their choice.

Baseball's not dead yet.
Chance says it best. Helluva turnaround.
26th after starting 4-9 overall and 1-8 in the ACC.

Keep it up @NCStateBaseball! https://t.co/7fOVrXd3Y5
Miss St projected to finish 6th in the SEC West.
More on this soon, but this Mississippi St. game is the biggest game in Dave's tenure and it's not even close. I hope his best/deepest team can beat the 6th place SEC West team.
Projected SEC West finish in 2021:

1--Alabama
2--Texas A&M
3--LSU
4--Auburn
5--Ole Miss
6--Miss. State

Anybody got a problem with that?
Feel free to share your list.

Jeff Gravely interviews Boo
Gravely continues to put out the second best NC State content you can find. Nothing stands out too much here other than the fact that Boo is alive and does exist.

I do have a question though, why does Boo's hair always look like he just woke up from a nap?

Punting is dead!
I'll be watching Presbyterian Football this fall, they just hired the guy who doesn't believe in punting!
Kevin Kelley, the high school coach who never punts and always attempts onside kicks after touchdowns, has landed a Division I job 👀
