Earlier this week it was announced that NC State and Virginia would play one another in a home-and-home series, with the Wolfpack hosting in 2025, and the Cavaliers hosting in 2026.
Prior to the announcement, NC State already had their non-conference slate booked for both of those seasons.
As a result of the addition of the Virginia series, a previously scheduled non-conference game from each season would need to be dropped. While it hasn’t been officially announced by the school, Joe Giglio and David Glenn seem to think that the series with Appalachian State is going to be dropped.
It would make the most sense, considering the Mountaineers were the only opponent the Wolfpack was scheduled to play in both 2025 and 2026. It would also make sense, considering the fact that ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips isn’t a fan of ACC teams playing Group of 5 schools on the road.
I will tell you this much. The Mountaineer faithful certainly believe NC State is dropping the series with App State, and it just takes a little scrolling on X (formerly Twitter) to get a read on their feelings on the situation.
This situation brings to mind the bill that has been proposed in the North Carolina House of Representatives that would force NC State and UNC to play App St., ECU and UNC Charlotte in Football, Men’s Basketball and Women’s Basketball.
If the addition of UVA means the elimination of App St. on NC State’s schedule, what are your thoughts? Share in the comments.
PACKINSIDER! YOUR VIDEO CHANGES. IT STARTS WITH BRENDON ARMSTRONG. THEN AN ADD COMES UP AND IT SWITCHES TO OTHER HIGHLIGHTS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM SCORING TOUCHDOWNS!!! VERY CONFUSING.
Sorry to yell.
Glad to see you are alive and well. Miss the forum for this site and did not see you comment anywhere else lately. Papajohn posts his thoughts and analyses on BTP and Dof87 shows up there occasionally.
Yep. Been a while since I’ve been on and the lack of forums definitely contributes to that absence. The dead period for me is usually that time after after basketball and before football. Good to hear from you, though, Rev! Alive and well!
Weird, it is working showing the whole video on my end.
Ok I see what happened. On mine, it popped up on the screen to click “next” or “stay.” I guess you need to click “stay.”
All good. I’ll have to try that. Thanks!
