NC State Landed The No. 8 Softball Recruit In America - Tuffy Talk

2026-10-1417:36

Lila Manfredonia is the No. 8 overall recruit in the 2028 class, and she committed to NC State before she left Raleigh. She came down for the Louisville weekend, went to the football game, and told the staff she was in. "I don't see myself anywhere else really." We got seventeen minutes with her, and most of it is not about recruiting. Her parents both played, her mom softball and her dad baseball, and that is where it started. She wears 32 because it was her dad's number at Akron. Her go-...

NC State And Doeren Both Look Tired Of Each Other - Tuffy Talk Live

2026-10-1301:25:24

Wake Forest 38, NC State 14, and the thing nobody around this program has said out loud yet. Somewhere in the middle of this one we land on the comparison that explains the whole season. Two people in a middle school relationship who have stopped talking to each other. Everybody in the school knows it is over. Nobody has gone to the other person and said it. Greg's version is worse and probably more accurate: the kids have moved out, it has been thirty years, and both of them are waiting for...

Popo Aguirre Just Set An NC State Record - Tuffy Talk Live

Tied 28-28 in the fourth quarter, Louisville breaks a 68-yard run and is walking into the end zone. Harvey Dyson III, a defensive end who rushed from the line of scrimmage on that snap, runs the back down and strips the ball out at the 13. Dave Doeren called it "one of the best plays I've seen as a coach in my career." NC State 31, Louisville 28. The first Power Four win of the season, and Layton, Greg and Ethan spend the hour on a win that actually looked like a team closing a game out ins...

We're Both Picking NC State to Upset Louisville - Tuffy Talk

2026-10-0248:58

Jeff Brohm called his starting quarterback a game-time decision on Monday. Five days before kickoff. That is not an injury update. Our read is that Louisville already knows Lincoln Kienholz is not playing Saturday, and the betting line agrees, because it has moved three and a half to four points toward NC State since the week started. So this preview is built around the question that decides the game. If Louisville hands it to Davin Wydner, a senior who spent two years at West Georgia and h...

Is It Already Over For Dave Doeren at NC State? - Tuffy Talk Live

2026-09-2901:02:57

Dave Doeren ended his press conference Saturday by stepping back to the microphone to say "by the way, we won that football game." Macon spent about five minutes on that. You are 2-2. You just let a 21-0 lead become a 31-31 tie against a Sun Belt team. You have no place to say that. "It's just arrogance to me, and it's unnecessary and ridiculous." Ethan is out sick and Greg could not make it, so this is Layton and Macon, the two who started this show six years ago, taking questions straight...
