Annual SparkCon begins Thursday SparkCon, called a ‘creative potluck’ by organizers, will be held in downtown Raleigh Sept. 16 through Sept. 19. Brooke Wallig Correspondent

SparkCon, an annual event called “a grassroots explosion of creativity” by James Pettus, the visual arts director for the N.C. Arts Council, lasts until Monday morning. Since its beginning in 2006, SparkCon has been an annual four-day event, and this year it is from Sept. 16-19 on Fayetteville Street in downtown Raleigh. The festival is comprised of several smaller festivals called “sparks,” which showcase local talent in 16 areas, among them being music, food, and even graffiti. There are 175 events total that will display the talent of approximately 1,700 performers, many of which are N.C. State students, according to the SparkCon website. Aly Khalifa, the co-founder of SparkCon, said last year the event attracted over 15,000 people, and this year he hopes the number will double. “If you look at the web traffic that we’ve received, it’s double that of last year,” Khalifa said. “Hopefully, that will mean 30,000 people will attend. But you never know how many people will show up to a party.” Along with the increase in the number of performers and attendees, SparkCon has seen an increase in the number of volunteers. Khalifa said he expects hundreds of volunteers, with at least 50 of them being N.C. State students. Carlee Mallard, organizer of ideaSpark, said she is hoping for increased attendance because of new types of events. According to Mallard, ideaSpark, the original spark, brings in speakers to discuss topics that pertain to the artistic community.

Saul Flores, a junior in graphic design, creates a colorful ocean of graffiti at the SparkCon Graffiti Showcase. Flores has been submitting designs to the festival for two years. “I wanted to make something beautiful and something that was not traditional,” Flores said of his design.

These topics, which range from creativity to the sharing of knowledge, are meant to be in line with the mission of SparkCon as a whole. Last year, ideaSpark centered around a series of short presentations that together made up an entire event called PechaKucha. Each of the 13 presentations will be 6 minutes and 40 seconds in length and the audience will have an opportunity to meet the presenters after the event. Mallard said these seminars are highly informative and beneficial. “These seminars are a great resource for the public and for the performers,” Mallard said. “The main idea is really about using knowledge in the community to help each other and help the city grow.” The seminars will be held at Neptune’s

on Martin Street, and the 250 tickets available are already sold out. However, Mallard encourages non-ticket holders to still attend since the doors will be open at 7:15 p.m. in case there are noshows. She also said there will be another PechaKucha on Dec. 2. for those who wish to attend but are unable to do so this weekend. Other events that will be hosted include concerts by local bands like Son of Sam, The Knockout Roses, and The Maniacs, as well as design and fashion shows. Events last from about 9 a.m. Thursday morning to 2 a.m. Monday morning. According to the site, some of the events are free, while others require a

Sororities’ Bid Day overtakes Harris Field After a weeklong sorority Rush process, new members were welcomed into their respective sorority Wednesday afternoon on Harris Field. Chelsey Francis Deputy News Editor

Hannah Carroll, a sophomore in engineering and a member of Zeta Tau Alpha, said the sorority is where she feels she belongs. “From my experience in this sorority, I love it,” Car-

Rho Chis are the members of sororities who recruit new members. “The new members don’t know which Rho Chi belongs to which sorority,” Carroll said. “The Rho Chis do a dance, [and] then they take off their Rho Chi T-shirt and have their sorority T-shirt on and re-join their sorority.” After the celebration on Har-

The University began a monthly seminar series that focuses on global energy usage Tuesday night in Withers Hall. Shivalik Daga Staff Writer

The Office of International Affairs presented the first in a series of monthly seminars concerning global energy usage and climate change Tuesday night in Withers Hall. “The Global Thirst for Energy” included speakers from various University programs including the forestry and environmental resources, the University’s Office of Sustainability and various engineering departments. Each speaker gave 10-minute presentations, and the seminar concluded with an interactive session with the audience. The speakers answered a variety of questions ranging from the lack of energy conservation in the U.S. to the political and agricultural impacts of using ethanol as biofuel. The next seminar in the series, “Natural Disasters and Global Climate Change,” will be held on Oct. 19. David Dean, outreach coordinator for the Office of Sustainability, unveiled the University sustainability plan, which will be released by November. “The University plans to achieve

climate neutrality by 2050 and is drawing out a climate action plan for this purpose. The plan is being drawn with a five-year and 40-year overview,” Dean said, reinforcing the University’s commitment to a 5 percent reduction in energy consumption for this year, and for reducing water use levels by 20 percent in compliance with North Carolina law. He also shared new data on the University’s energy source distribution. The latest information for 2009-10 shows that natural gas meets over half (52.3 percent) of the University’s energy needs, followed by electricity at 43.4 percent and oil accounting for 4.3 percent.

John Gilligan, professor of nuclear engineering, said five faculty members are currently working in national laboratories. Gilligan also spoke about the growing opportunities for students in nuclear engineering, as well as shaping nuclear-related policy issues globally. The University’s nuclear engineering program is routinely ranked among the top in the nation, and it is a vital part of the U.S. nuclear engineering industry, Gilligan said. Joseph DeCarolis, assistant professor of water resources and environmental engineering, started his presentation by focusing on the “positives rather than negatives.”

The event is a program that is run through Visual Arts Exchange, an organization dedicated to supporting local artists, and is sponsored by over 90 local businesses, organizations and investors, including the N.C. Arts Council. One of the sponsors, the Raleigh City Museum, has been celebrating the arrival of SparkCon since Sept. 3 by hosting a 30-exhibit design exposition displaying local talent in architecture and graphic design, according to the Spark-

Con website. Khalifa said the main idea behind SparkCon is to involve the community in the arts and to foster a connection between the community and local artists. “Get to know your local artists. That’s the whole idea,” Khalifa said. “We want you to know who your local game designers are. We want you to know who your local musicians and visual artists are. This is a chance to really get to know them and it will enable you to strike out on your own.” For more information, visit www.sparkcon.com.

Hackney said the University was the top choice for the recruiters. “When we ask the recruiters what makes them come to N.C. State, they say that there are a lot of talented people who are well-educated,” Hackney said. “This is to celebrate the investment for the jobs of the future and North Carolina moving ahead in competition with other states.” “It feels good to be back,” said Jim Yocum, the executive vice president of DestinationRx, Inc. and N.C. State mechanical engineering alumnus. Yocum said the new labs in the building provided improved tools for the faculty and students, and he praised the interdisciplinary approach practiced at EB III. “When different disciplines are bridged, they are challenged outside the orthodoxy. That is when new things are in-

vented. When you get skill sets from different fields, you get fireworks. My major takeaway from N.C. State is collaboration,” Yocum said. EB III is one of the series of engineering buildings being built. Engineering buildings IV and V, also to be located at Centennial Campus, are awaiting approval by the North Carolina General Assembly. Afsaneh Rabiei, a professor in mechanical engineering, said she liked the new building. “The labs are good and there is power available in the labs. It is a clean new facility,” Rabiei said. “I hope all this will motivate students and help hire talented faculty. I hope this translates into a better future for the mechanical engineering department,” Rabiei said. Kalie Porterfield, a senior in mechanical engineering said that she like the new facilities. “They are state-of-the-art, new and well-organized. There is also a lot of gathering space,” Porterfield said. Sean Webb, a graduate stu-

dent in aerospace engineering, said he liked the central air conditioning in the new building. “I also like the landscaping outside. There is enough shelf space for the lab equipment, which is very delicate,” Webb said. Alex York, a postdoctoral student in mechanical engineering, said that the new labs ensured safety. “These labs have safety measures in place. They also provide much improved capabilities when compared to the old lab [in Broughton Hall],” York said. “We can run more versatile experiments using these hightech lab instruments,” York said. “The labs are also very clean.”

{OUR VIEW}

THE FACTS:

Bid Day was yesterday and tied up sorority Rush week. The Office of Greek Life challenges all Greeks to have integrity, be accountable and seek distinction.

OUR OPINION:

Sororities are getting off to a good start with a spirited display at their Bid Day celebration. N.C. State and the surrounding community look forward to the good works the sororities have in store for them this year.

Going Greek

undreds of sorority members and sister-hopefuls waited on Harris Field for the big moment: being chosen. Before they are even chosen, new sorority sisters go through a personally rigorous choice of which sorority to join, but all of their waiting and hoping came down to Bid Day. The celebration was truly spirited and represented another facet of the “power sound of the South.” All Greeks are challenged to have integrity, be accountable and seek distinction and all Greeks

are in a position to do so. Using these criteria, Delta Zeta was chosen as one of the Sororities of 2009. The other eight sororities who were out recruiting now have a new goal to instill in their members. These new members have a fresh outlook on Greek life and should be able to tackle these challenges as they develop sisterhood. With new members now in their ranks, sororities have new faces and more hands to help them as they go out into the community. Last

year, Greeks volunteered a total of 64,238 hours and raised $135,576. The challenge this year is for the new sisters to challenge their predecessors and strive to surpass this. They can volunteer more, reach out to new community groups and become aware of new issues. Whatever it is, they should get out there. Leadership is key in Greek life and the sisters chosen today have been given a great opportunity to grow as women and members of the N.C.

State community. They have become ambassadors for Greek life and should remember this as they become more involved at the University. New sisters will have the opportunity to be apart of the revitalization of the Greek community and life, and live a different college experience. There are big shoes to fill, but the new recruits have the ability to make changes in themselves and their community for the better.

Freshen Up I have a beef with University Dining. This isn’t an “Eat Mor Chikin” campaign, nor is it a rant about our infamous “Brickyard Bubble.” I was so excited to hear Freshens opened last week. Finally, I’d be able to grab my morning deliciousness of blended fruit that’s easily sip-able during my morning classes. Because Freshens was deemed “not a good fit for the new Atrium,” by Jen n i fer Lisa Lehman Gilmore, the marketing Guest Columnist and communications for University Dining in an interview that was published in the Technician Tuesday, September 7th, it relocated to Talley Student Center. I was told Talley’s restaurants do not open until 10:30, or lunchtime according to the campus meal plan guidelines. Freshens doesn’t open until 10:30? I was devastated. I thought “there goes my breakfast for the semester, well, year,” on my way, breakfa st less, to class. Then I started thinking, the Wolf ’s Den is technically located in Talley and therefore shou ld not open u nt i l 10:30 as well. However, it has a breakfast menu and starts serving at 8 A.M. Surely Freshens could do the same. Reopening Freshens with its original hours would provide a healthy breakfast alternative for the Wolfpack, adding more “Wolf-approved” options for on-the-go breakfast eaters. Continuing hours of operations from last year would also cut down the ungodly long lines of coffee drinkers at Port City Java and allow us morning smoothie-drinkers to concentrate at Freshens. This small shift of people would help cut down lines and wait-time before classes, and possibly erase some unsettling feelings of

anxious time-checkers hoping they can get their drink. It would also add a few shifts to the University Dining team, helping our economy and fellow members of our Pack scraping for any job opening to earn a little extra income. Last year, we were reassured that our cooperation in dodging random construction sites would pay off in the end. Our Main Campus is well on its way to being beautiful and comfortable. But we were told the Hillsborough remodeling project would benefit both drivers and pedestrians at its completion, and I’m still on the fence about that. I still cross the street fearing for my life and I am not convinced the outcome is worth all this hassle. This year, we were told to deal with yet another adjustment in Atrium seating while it’s being remodeled. We were asked to understand it does not meet certain food service criteria and, therefore, “hold out until January until everything will be back to normal.” I guess you thought we didn’t notice t h e s h i r king portions and inflating prices while you work to “improve our dining experience.” Well, Freshens, I enjoyed your variety breakfast smoothies for three years, but I guess it’s back to dry breakfast bars, ruthless lines at Port City Java and scrambling to meet my suggested daily value of fruit for me. I’ll miss you.

“Reopening Freshens with its original hours would provide a healthy breakfast alternative for the Wolfpack.”

Rethink getting a live mascot Both the headliner and editorial about Tuffy from today’s newspaper were the most appalling articles I have read thus far in the . I have followed the stories about Tuffy the Tamaskan since they first started appearing in the paper and I have to tell you I am firmly against the use of a live mascot at the games. Granted, the Tamaskan breed has a fairly good temperament and is probably one of the best dog breeds to parade around a crowd of 60,000 people if one chose to do so, but no animal should be forced into a position where they are likely to become stressed or subject to violence because of peoples blatant ignorance. One cannot assume that a dog, or any animal for that matter, can remain calm and comfortable when they are placed in front of crowds of that magnitude. When animals are put in an environment that is new and different their personalities can change very quickly and they can become defensive and lash out. It’s just their nature. Now if the school made sure there was psychological testing done on Tuffy to ensure her personality was stable and able to adjust

well to changing environment, I might be a little more accepting of the decision. After all, Tuffy did possibly come from a puppy mill, according to the article in the paper, and it seems to me there wasn’t much research put into the process of getting her. Besides the ridiculous idea of getting a live mascot, there is the possibly awful place Tuffy could have came from. As I read in the paper, RightPuppy Kennel is being accused of being a puppy mill. This is by far the worst and most appalling place for a dog to grow up in. My dog is a puppy mill rescue, I got her when she was seven years old after a puppy mill owner was going to kill her because she was unable to breed anymore. It is obvious she had a far worst life then I could ever imagine. She is terrified of large objects, especially if I am holding them. She hates loud noises and obviously has some psychological problems, so it does upset me to think our school could have possibly supported this industry. I would like to say that I am proud of our Chancellor for taking a stand and choosing not to continue working with RightPuppy Kennel. It does show our school leaders have compassion and courage to do the right thing, but to now be discussing getting another Tamaskan from a breeder upsets me. Getting a dog from a breeder is preventing a shelter dog from being adopted and possibly contributing to a dog’s death due to lack of space in a shelter. I have worked in a no-kill shelter and we have had to turn away dogs, many dogs, due to lack of space in the shelter. No animal should be turned away because people are not adopting from shelters and instead buying their animals from breeders. I really hope our school makes the decision NOT to get a live mascot. We can still have school pride without a dog on the sidelines. At least I know I can. Taylor Kennedy freshman, undeclared

IN YOUR WORDS

Definitely Not a Laughing Matter Thank you for publishing the article “Not a Laughing Matter.” I am happy to see an alternative viewpoint on Antoine Dodson’s interview. I first encountered this video on Facebook. After multiple friends sharing the Youtube link for this news clip, I decided to check it out. Initially I saw why this news clip could be potentially amusing, but after taking a closer look I came to the conclusion that under no circumstances should an attempted sexual assault be entertaining. The fact that the attempted sexual assault and the circumstances surrounding the situation would be turned into a song is appalling. Actions such as these desensitize individuals to instances of rape, sexual assault and interpersonal violence, thereby allowing these actions to permeate in our society.

Students from N.C. State University participated in a summer Study Abroad program on the Caribbean island of Nevis, located about 220 miles southeast of Puerto Rico. Here students look through midden layers, or piles of deposed debris, to find evidence of ancient culture, including tools and eating habits. The artifacts are now housed in the University archeology department.

While they were there, the month-long Culturama festival was being held, giving them a chance to get a taste of Nevisian culture. There was music, food, parades, drag racing and even a beauty queen contest. The students also climbed Nevis Peak, the most dangerous mountain for hiking in the Caribbean. According to Orepe, the group did very little hiking. “They mostly climbed on roots to get to the top,” Orepe said. So far, not everything has been processed that the team brought back from Nevis. There are currently over a thousand pounds of artifacts waiting at the University archeology lab to be processed.

Engineers exposed to business world The EEP program gives engineers keys to success that traditional coursework does not. Heidi Klumpe Staff Writer

Tom Miller, founder of the Engineering Entrepreneurs Program, executive director of the University Entrepreneurship Initiative, and Vice Provost of DELTA, remembers when Larry K. Monteith, former dean of the college of engineering, made a risky move in front of the chancellor and trustees at the time, saying “students succeed in spite of their engineering education.” “What he meant was that [the students] really didn’t leave with the skills to translate technical skills into start-ups and products,” Miller said. Since the inception of EEP, Miller has seen countless students sky-rocket into stellar careers as entrepreneurs. Angela Thompson, a former student in computer engineering, came up with a low-cost and durable laptop specifically for kindergarten through twelfth-grade classrooms. Her team presented their prototype to Steve Wozniak while he was on campus, and preceded the “One Laptop Per Child” initiative by nearly ten years, according to Miller. Another group talked with hospital administrators and government officials in India and developed a low-cost tuberculosis test. “The problem [with tuberculosis] was that each diagnosis is expensive and requires skilled technicians,” Miller said, which is not feasible for developing nations. “By the time you find [a diagnosis], one thousand people are infected,” Miller said. Some of Miller’s work connected him to Bob Young before Red Hat existed as a company. Donnie Barnes, an EEP student at the time, turned down

They are part of the team “writeidea,” beginning the second semester of their project. “You learn a lot more about the real world,” Litowsky said, comparing his project to the senior design course. “Here, you have to find the problem and find the customer.” They also learned how government policy and budget constraints could quickly derail a project. “We had an idea with road markers,” Chua said. “People liked it, but we were just jumping through hoops.” “At the end of the day, no one wanted to give us any money,” Litowsky said. Other students at the beginning of their first semester have noticed the same emphasis on realistic problemsolving. “This program involves us thinking outside the box,” said Quan Ha, a senior in electrical and computer engineering. “We don’t think about books, formulas, or given problems, but business, research, and marketing.” Even better, the one credit-hour course, ECE 383, makes these experiences available to students of all years and majors. Spencer Williams, a senior in electrical and computer engineering, took ECE 383 before enrolling in the senior-level course. He worked for a team writing a program which could extract data from pictures of blood samples. “I signed up to get experience before I had skills, so I could get a real job later,” he said; his work was garnering employment options before his senior year. Still, Stephen Walsh, the current director of the Engineering Entrepreneurs Program and associate professor in ECE, has more than technical expertise in store for the members of the class. “I designed the program as a simulation,” Walsh said. “I want the students

to have a hard time because that’s where you learn.” “Engineers don’t like to hear it, but there are a lot of engineers out there,” Walsh said, recalling his experience hiring employees. “For me, a person with a 2.5 to 3.0 who could communicate trumped a person with a 3.5 who had very low communication skills and found it difficult to work in a team.” The team-work and collaboration between disciplines provide the majority of the energy and innovation in which EEP prides itself. “The popular press likes to make you think about this lone wolf entrepreneur,” Walsh said. “That’s really such a myth. You need so many people to help you make it as an entrepreneur.” To encourage these connections, Miller and Walsh teamed up with other EEP faculty to create the idea of a living and learning community

what to do next,” Keyton said. “A good facilitator sees [laughter] as a sign that there is something else that needs to be addressed.” Although Keyton and Stephenson’s study only looked at one jury deliberation, Keyton said their conclusions are credible. “The best way to look at a phenomenon is in extreme cases,” Keyton said. “The consequences are so real for a jury member. I suspect that the results are similar to stressful group situations, when there are high stakes involved.” Keyton said studying laughter in a high stress environment has made her aware of laughter in everyday life. “I am so much more cognizant of when I laugh... I know why I am laughing, but I don’t want it to be misinterpreted,” Keyton said. From their everyday experiences, students agree that laughter serves different functions. Shaneequa Vereen, a sophomore majoring in psychology and political science, said she saw many different situations when people laughed. “Some people laugh when they’re nervous, in funny situations of course, or when they are uncomfortable,” Vereen said. According to Vereen, people also laugh to prevent a situation from becoming uncomfortable. “You laugh to be courteous. When something is supposed to be funny, you laugh,” Vereen said. Danielle Teibel, a sophomore in the College of Management, agreed that laughter could be used to improve a situation. “[People laugh] to lighten the mood,” Teibel said. Keyton and Stephenson’s article, “Examining Laughter Functionality in Jury Deliberation,” was published in August in the journal Small Group Research.

for entrepreneurs. One of the future dormitory buildings on Centennial Campus would connect to The Garage, a combination of workshops, prototyping areas, and meeting spaces. “We need to build something where we can get students from across the curriculum working on multidisciplinary projects,” Walsh said. “When you get people from different backgrounds working together,

you get better ideas.” Companies such as Red Hat have made significant donations to open the Phase I Garage in Research Building Four. Following the ribbon-cutting on Monday, this facility is open for applications from students in any college interested in getting their ideas off the ground. “It’s a space where [students] can go and talk to other people in an entrepreneuriallyminded way and develop ideas without spending an exorbitant amount of money,” said Seth Hollar, associate director of EEP and assistant professor in

the MAE department. “It’s not a lab for senior design.” The Phase I Garage, which has about one-tent h t he square-footage of its proposed fully-f ledged counterpart, houses a woodworking workshop, electronics lab, library, loading dock, and two or three meeting rooms. “One of the key aspects is communication,” Hollar said, echoing Walsh’s focus on the non-technical issues engineers are not often trained to anticipate. “We want to give them a place where they can express their ideas to others.”

MEN’S SOCCER

Men’s soccer team blanks VMI, 4-0 Wolfpack bounces back from loss to UNC with romp over Keydets Christina Owens Correspondent

In a game with more yellow cards assessed than goals scored, the men’s soccer team took control in the second half to win, 4-0. Coming off a close loss to rival Carolina in its last game, the Wolfpack’s intensity was evident from the minute it took the field. In the first half, aggressive play on both sides led to thirteen fouls, but it wasn’t until almost the 44-minute mark that a goal was scored. Freshman forward Nader Jaibat scored his first career goal off an assist from junior midfielder Watt Williams. The momentum from Jaibat’s goal carried into the second half, with senior midfielder Chris Zuerner scoring within three minutes of the start of second half play. Intense play continued throughout the half, as thirteen more fouls were accumulated. “I felt like it was a physical game on both sides, it’s something we’ve got to get used to,” junior goalie Will Mackvick said. “A lot of times we play these out of conference games, and we come against a team and they’ve got every motivation to try and beat you. So we came up, showed up, and won. It was kind of tight in the first half, but the goal at the end of

Mackvick credited his success to the hard work of the defense. “Centerbacks play the whole time and goalkeepers play the whole time, it’s just the nature of the position,” Mackvick said. “Tonight we didn’t have a whole lot of shots.

think it was a great win for us and our team, to show how good our defense can be to all the young guys, especially going into the next week with a Thursday night game against Cincinnati. It gives us a lot of confidence. That was a win. We Nate Irving tough fought it out. Senior middle For the team linebacker i n ge ne r a l, that will be a big boost of confidence for us. It feels good to win two in a row, but you can’t sit there and just think about 2-0, because that’s not the goal. The goal is to win every single game. You can’t win every game focusing on the record of the previous week. We just have to worry about the next game we have, which is Cincinnati. We have to not pay attention to the record, whether it’s 2-0 or whatever it may be. I don’t recall the defense playing that good since I’ve been here. Maybe before, but not since I’ve been here. That felt real good, just to have the defense hold up its end of the deal. Our coaches and myself, we always told the guys on defense that the offense wouldn’t be able to score 40 points every single game, so the defense has to show up every night. That was just so good to see. They’re young guys and for them to play so good despite all the people saying how bad they are and everything, for them to play so good and actually be the reason that they won, because of the fumble on the late drive, that’s real good. That win Saturday night just lets us know that we’re capable of doing our job just in case Russell has an off night. We can do our job and we will be there to back him up, just in case he does have an off night like he had Saturday. We can carry our own weight so the offense won’t have to put up 40 points every game. I think everybody knew what we had to do. We had to go out there and take care of business. The coaches had a great game. I think Tenuta does have a lot to do with it. It would be hard for me to say he doesn’t. It’s his attitude, that he has and all the other coaches have. CUT - Like I always say, I’m just happy to have the chance to be back out there. I don’t care if I get 1000 tackles or one tackle. I don’t care about my performance as long as I’m helping the team out in a positive way. - CUT It’s a big deal, because that’s primetime TV, Thursday night.

What happened the last time State played

Coach Tom O’Brien leads his team out of the tunnel before it’s season opener against Western Carolina at Carter-Finley Stadium Saturday, Sept. 4. The Pack notched 480 yards of total offense while holding the Catamounts to just 189 yards. State beat Western Carolina 48-7.

out early and establish ourselves,” Vermiglio said. “We have to be physical early to wear them out by the end of the game.” Thursday night will be the only time this season an ACC team plays a Thursday night game that is not preceded by a byeweek. O’Brien said he was very upset at the conference for scheduling the game in such a way. The Pack not only faces a short week, it faces it after playing a night game in very humid Florida conditions. They didn’t get back in to Raleigh until about 3:30 AM, making the following practice very sluggish. “Of course we were sluggish at the practice on Monday,” Vermiglio said. “But I think we picked it up toward the end.” Thursday’s contest will be a big game for not only the Pack and Bearcats, but for their respective conferences. With weak showings by both the ACC and Big East in non-conference games, the teams are fighting for conference pride and national respect. State is 0-2 in Thursday night games under O’Brien, giving O’Brien’s team a great opportunity to get the Wolfpack a win on one of college football’s brightest stages.

CINCINNATI?

The Pack and Bearcats have never played each other.

Players to watch for: N.C. STATE Audie Cole: The star of week two, Cole is coming off the best performance of his career. The junior from Michigan finished the night with a game-high 12 tackles. Cole was all over the field from start to finish, recording three and a half tackles in the backfield, a sack and a diving interception to snuff out a trick play in the third quarter. Cole’s performance against UCF promises to help his fellow linebackers as the season progresses. Should offenses make a concerted effort to avoid Cole or send extra blockers his way, Nate Irving becomes all the more likely to return to his all-star form of 2008. Russell Wilson: No. 16 rarely finds himself looking to bounce back. Through two seasons and two games, Wilson’s off nights have been few and far between, but after a 10-for-30 showing in Orlando, the star signal-caller will be determined to prove that showing was merely an aberration. After seeing State post a solid effort running the ball in week two, Cincinnati will likely think twice about dropping extra defenders into coverage to combat the Pack’s passing game. Based on several performances he has posted against defenses keying on the passing game, Wilson could be primed for a monster night if the Bearcats play him honest.

CINCINNATI Quarterback Zach Collaros: Collaros spent a great deal of 2009 on the sidelines watching former Bearcat star Tony Pike lead Cinci to the Big East title, but showed out when given the opportunity. In four starts, Collaros piled up 1,434 yards with 10 touchdowns and only two picks. Elite quarterbacks were State’s undoing a year ago, and Collaros will provide coordinator Mike Archer’s defense with a stiff early-season test in non-conference play. The Pack struggled with the mobility of UCF’S Jeff Godfrey in week two, and will have another dual-threat quarterback to deal with in Collaros, who gained 344 yards on the ground a year ago. Thursday night should prove to be a much-needed tune-up and indicator of the secondary’s progress, as State will face Georgia Tech’s Josh Nesbitt and VT’s Tyrod Taylor in weeks four and five. Defensive lineman Derek Wolfe: Wolfe started all 13 games at defensive tackle in 2009 and enjoyed a breakout season, tallying 41 tackles, eight in the backfield, and five sacks. Wolfe got stronger as the season progressed, recording five tackles and a sack in one of the best efforts of his career, his team’s win over Pitt in the season finale. Wolfe made a tremendous jump in productivity from his freshman to sophomore seasons, from three tackles to 41. A preseason first-team all Big East defensive selection by Phil Steele’s 2010 College Football Preview, Wolfe will look to help Cinci slow down the Pack on the ground and through the air.

Listen Up! The game will be televised nationally by ESPN, with kickoff set for 7:30 p.m. Fans who can’t get to Carter-Finley or find a television can tune in to the Wolfpack-Capitol Sports Network
