The Sports Idiot

Well, according to Heather Dinich he is.  Of course, here in Wolfpack Nation we feel that he is the best player in the entire country, but what do we know?  He has only played one year under center for the Pack, and he already holds the record for most passes thrown without an INT.  As a matter of fact, he only threw one to the enemies last season overall.  Hopefully his time playing baseball this Summer does not effect his ability to find the open man or thread the needle.  Of course, if it does, Mike Glennon is willing, ready and able to step in.

Wilson is only the 3rd member of the NC State football team to make Heather’s list of the top 50 players in the ACC, joining Willie Young at #9 and Nate Irving at #19.  Expect the number of Pack players on this list to increase next Summer, as head coach Tom O’Brien is tearing up the recruiting trails and building his program the right way.  The trenches are going to be a battle in the future, and the ex-Marine knows something about winning in the trenches.

Well, according to the lovely Heather Dinich he is.  As she counts down her list of the top 30 players in the conference, we will continue to alert you to the NC State Wolfpack players on the list.  Young, a 5th year Senior DE, is the second player to make Heather’s list  Nate Irving was number 19.  So go to the entry and give both Willie and Heather some love in the comments section.  At least until we see where she puts Russell Wilson (top three is expected Heather).

With baseball being the only sport going right now, other than the occasional golf tourney worth watching, we know a lot of you are pining for the fall and the start of football.  NC State’s upcoming season is looking like it could be a pretty good one, and it is nice to have that to look forward to.  Of course, here at The Sports Idiot we love baseball with a passion, so we do not want the season to get here too quickly.
