Actor: Remember what Jim Valvano said about HOPE. Things can get better. Remember the 83 team. Today’s topic is the Wolfpack. You’re listening to Entertainment Podcasting Sports. Thank you.

State’s unexpected1983 title was one of the most memorable in NCAA history. I’ve been hoping that they would win the championship again though I’m not a Wolfpack fan. I miss the great competition there was between the Wolfpack, Duke, and Carolina. All three teams were on fire. But our college basketball days are a little different now.

The Wolfpack team that we have today is a Wolfpack with different players. They are not that team back in 83. The coach is not the same coach today. Things change, but there is still hope, and things can get better. The Wolfpack can win.

Actor: He misses! State has the lead! No good! NC State has won the Atlantic Coastal Conference Tournament Championship Game!

N.C. State is one of the seven founding members of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Prior to joining the ACC in 1954, the Wolfpack was a member of the Southern Conference, where they won seven conference championships. As a member of the ACC, the Wolfpack has won ten conference championships, as well as two national championships in 1974 and 1983.

Jim Valvano was a great coach of the NC State team. He had a lot of energy and fought hard against coach Dean Smith of the UNC Tarheels and Mike Kryzewski of the Duke Blue Devils. Jim was diagnosed with a rare cancer. He left us in 1993 at age 47.

Actor: Jim Volcano’s words still live. North Carolina State can continue to win championships. They have a motivated person and are a team with a dream and a goal and a vision. There is great hope for the Wolfpack.

You’re listening to EPS. I’m you’re host, Gail Nobles. Today’s topic, The Wolfpack.
