We want to thank Coach Dave Doeren (@StateCoachD) for the 14 years of dedication, service, and effort he poured into our University and our football program.
Coach Doeren raised the expectations of @PackFootball, created countless #PackPros, developed hundreds of young people & leaders, navigated an ever-changing #NIL era with grace & ease, and won the most games in #NCState Football's history. Not to mention, he and his family have displayed extraordinary generosity toward our University in support of the greater good.
It's with a mixture of gratitude and sadness that we bid Dave farewell, but wish him the best on his next step, as we know football is just one part of his life's journey as a man, leader, husband, father, and more.
Thank you, Dave. It's been a heck of a ride. You will always be a member of #WPN.
#GoPack

You could throw a dart at *any* uniform MBB has worn over the last 75 years & it would always be better than the current

I'd like to offer my sincerest condolences to the Amato family, NC State, and Wolfpack Nation on the passing of Chuck Amato.
As a native North Carolinian, I know how much a fixture he is to State and others. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers.

At the end of the day, history books will show that Republicans in the Trump era turned their back on this country for nothing other than personal financial gain.

I’ll stipulate that Trump is an agent of Putin.
Go down the checklist.
1. Destroyed the Western alliance? Putin wanted that.
2. Threatened a NATO ally over Greenland? Putin wanted that.
3. Pulled out of the intermediate nuclear pact? Putin wanted that.
4. Withdrawing 25-40,000 troops from Western Europe while Russian bellicosity is rising? Putin wanted that.
5. Russian satellites giving coordinates to Iranians killing our soldiers, and his response is “they kill us, we kill them”? What American president says that?
I think he’s been compromised.
The election of Donald Trump may be the greatest foreign policy success in post-Czarist Russian history.

It was a great blessing and privilege to play for Coach Amato! He created an environment filled with belief, unity, toughness, hard work, discipline, perseverance, and much more. I’m seeing a lot of what he instilled in us during those years at STATE being lived out by my PACK BROTHERS!
He has greatly impacted my life and consequently my children’s lives because of the great man and coach he was!
He will be missed!

RIP Coach Amato. Thank you for your influence and guidance in shaping me as a young LB from Western PA coming down to @PackFootball. You showed me tough love when I needed it & taught me Commitment, Sacrifice & Teamwork. You'll be missed, but your legacy will NEVER be forgotten!

Arguing for the death penalty by appealing to the most famous case in world history of a guiltless man being wrongly executed is a titanic self-own
Christ Himself accepted the death penalty
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
While Jesus submitted to his crucifixion, the Gospels depict the process as unjust and interpret his acceptance as sacrificial, not as an endorsement of Capitol Punishment.

Even in late modernity, the prestige of the papal office remains immense. It represents something beyond the present moment and its ephemeral cultural shifts and political squabbles, something higher and permanent. This is why even many who are not observant are moved by it.

Just a reminder that School Choice is a wealth transfer.
It is a scam perpetrated to defund public schools and transfer that money to people already sending their children to private school.

Imagine growing up in absolute dirt poverty in east Tennessee, daughter of a tobacco farmer, going to school wearing rags your mother stitched into a coat, and when you die the British royal family has its military band play your up-the-workers country-pop anthem in tribute.

Rest in Peace Dolly, one of the most brilliant, iconic, and prolific artists of all time. Your kindness and generosity will never be forgotten. I will always love you ❤️

Dolly Parton spent decades quietly funding band uniforms and instruments at Black high schools across the South - never once putting her name on it. No headlines, no fanfare — just help, given because it was needed.
Rhinestones on the outside, gold on the inside. 💛

Remembering the late, great Dolly, who brought joy, comfort and inspiration to so many - including the millions of children given free books through her Imagination Library. We will always ❤️ you.

I know this sounds corny and cringey and naive and whatever, but Dolly Parton felt like America when it was trying to be the place it promised to be.

It’s hard to imagine many people having a bigger impact than Dolly Parton. Born in a one-room cabin, she earned 11 Grammys and an Emmy, built a business empire, helped millions of kids learn to read, and — as if that wasn’t enough — helped accelerate the research that led to the Moderna COVID vaccine. What a life. Michelle and I are thinking of Dolly’s family and her many, many fans.
