Dear Santa,

I know we are just hours away from your arrival, but I have a few asks…

1) Make the ACCN not suck

Feel like this shouldn’t be too hard…Less reruns, more actual sports. Notre Dame is not to be mentioned outside of basketball and baseball, honestly, burn that damn documentary they made.

We have quality programs across the sports spectrum in this conference. Yet, when multiple teams are playing primetime games, we’re stuck with a Virginia Tech basketball game from 2006 or jerking off Coach K, once again.

I’m even reminded of a State basketball game from last February, where the lead-in was a mini doc about UNC’s Carmichael Arena. Read the room, boys.

2) Give State another National Championship and a handful of ACCC’s in 2022

I’ll even let you pick the Natty, Santa. Women’s Basketball? Wrestling (Team or Individual(s))? Football? Swimming? Baseball? I want us over the hump in multiple sports.

It’s been an insanely successful year for State sports. Storylines, players and teams galore, doing work and getting wins. Just asking for a few more rounds in the NCAAT or a nice surprise winner in football. Build on what State did in 2021. Come on big man, let’s have some fun.

3) Give Tony Gibson a damn extension

The man has made State’s defense an absolute force, give him years and all the money he wants.

#22 in Total Defense
#16 Scoring Defense
#17 First Down Defense

And that’s without studs like Moore, Wilson and Fagan playing. And now EVERYONE is returning?!? Let’s lock up Gibson.

4) Allow me to enjoy MBB again

Hear me out Santa. What if you gave me the 2022 State roster as;

And add in some more size in the transfer portal?!? Let’s have some fun in 2022 with a lineup that we truly need and deserve. Freshman gain experience, Bates and Gantt are healthy and ready, Seabron’s jumper is smooth…LFG

As the slightest of slight consolations, I’ll take 6 ACC wins this year…Or six games for the men’s team at Reynolds next year.

5) Make NC State, State again

This is something I’ll be talking about in the very near future, but maybe you can kickstart it fat man. Drop the NC and let’s just be State.

Think about it…WE SHOULD OWN STATE.

Mississippi, Michigan, Ohio, Nevada, New Mexico, Florida…All go by their full names. Heck, even Ohio State adds ‘The’ to the front. But us here in Raleigh, we can be STATE.

Every uniform, regardless of sport, is either Wolfpack or State…nothing else. Bing, Bang, Boom.

6) Ten million dollars

Pretty self-explanatory.

Hope all of WPN has an amazing Holidays from here through New Year’s Day. Love ya all and Go Pack.
