As you’re all undoubtedly aware, I’m a dual-alliance fan of both NC State and East Carolina, holding degrees from both institutions. My Wolfpack fandom runs deepest, having been instilled in me from birth - seriously, the first not-in-the-hospital picture of me is in an NC State Wolfpack football shirt, and even the diaper I had on featured the Block S logo.
The reason the love of all things NC State came at such an early age is, as some of you long-time BTP readers may know, because my father played and coached football at NC State. Wolfpack football has been and still is as much a part of my father’s life as anything.
