EspañolNC STATE WOLFPACK
(Redirected from North Carolina State Wolfpack)
The athletic teams of the North Carolina State University, known as the 'Wolfpack', compete in 24 intercollegiate varsity sports. NC State is a founding member of the Atlantic Coast Conference and has won eight national championships: two NCAA championships, two AIAW championhips, and four titles under other sanctioning bodies. Most NC State fans and athletes recognize the rivalry with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as their biggest.
The primary logo for NC State athletics is a red block 'S' with an inscribed 'N' and 'C'. The block S has been in use since 1890 but has seen many alterations through the years. It became the sole logo for all NC State athletic teams in 2000 and was modernized to its current design in 2006.
NC State athletic teams are nicknamed the 'Wolfpack' (most womens' teams are named the 'Lady Wolfpack'). The name was adopted in 1922 when a disgruntled fan described the behavior of the student body at athletic events as being "like a wolf pack." Prior to the adoption of the current nickname, NC State athletic teams went by such names as the Aggies, the Techs, and the Red Terrors. Since the 1960s the Wolfpack has been represented at athletic events by its mascots, Mr. and Ms. Wuf. In print, the 'Strutting Wolf' is used and is known by the name 'Tuffy.'

The words to the Fight Song were written by Hardy Ray, Class of 1926, and the music was written by Edward Gruber.[1] It is essentially a sped-up version of "The Army Goes Rolling Along"[2]
''Shout aloud to the men who will play the game to win''
''We're behind you, keep fighting for State---''
''Hold that line, hold 'em fast,''
''We'll reach victory at last''
''We're behind you, keep fighting for State---''
''Rise up to the fray and let your colors wave,''
''Shout out for dear old N.C. State;--GO STATE!''
''And where-e'er we go,''
''we'll let the whole world know,''
''We're behind you, keep fighting for State.''
The Red and White Song is a popular song sung by fans and played by the band at many NC State athletic events, especially at football and basketball games. It was written by J. Perry Watson, a former Director of Music at NC State. The song, although very popular, is in fact not the official Fight Song of NC State.[3] The colors mentioned in the song refer to the NCSU's main athletic colors, while "Caroline", "Devils", and "Deacs" refer to other Tobacco Road team names: Carolina Tar Heels, Duke Blue Devils, and Wake Forest Demon Deacons. The song's lyrics are as follows:
''We're the Red and White from State''
''And we know we are the best.''
''A hand behind our back,''
''We can take on all the rest.''
''Come over the hill, Caroline.''
★
''Devils and Deacs stand in line.''
''The Red and White from N.C. State.''
''-Go State!!!''

The original "Strutting Wolf" was designed by an NC State art student.
The primary logo for NC State athletics is a red block 'S' with an inscribed 'N' and 'C'. The block S has been in use since 1890 but has seen many alterations through the years. It became the sole logo for all NC State athletic teams in 2000 and was modernized to its current design in 2006.
