The surging Pack play Rutgers Monday, Dec. 29, in Birmingham, Ala. The school was allotted 10,000 tickets to sell and the N&O reported today that just under 3,000 have been sold.
No doubt it will become a tougher ticket as the date approaches, but why wait: The N.C. State athletic site has all the resources you need to plan your trip. And, if you can’t go, they’re suggesting that you purchase a ticket and donate it to the Big Brothers/ Big Sisters charity in Birmingham.
UNC fans, by the way, can purchase tickets here for the Tar Heels’ Saturday, Dec. 27 showdown with the West Virginia Mountaineers in the Meineke Car Care Bowl in Charlotte.

Russell Wilson, N.C. State
N.C. State’s freshman quarterback Russell Wilson began the season by getting knocked out with a concussion. It’s been all gravy ever since. Yesterday, he became the first freshman quarterback named to the ACC’s all-conference team. Today, he was named rookie of the year.
Among his signal accomplishments: He passed for 1,769 yards and led the league in touchdown passes and passing efficiency. Most spectacularly, he threw only one interception all year, and none in the past eight games and 226 passes. Grayson Currin recently posted an appreciation.
And from Chapel Hill comes the news that the Tar Heels, who until three weekends ago still entertained Orange Bowl hopes, will instead play in Charlotte’s Meineke Car Care Bowl on Dec. 27.
