Saturday brings the first road test of the Season for NC State. State got a good game at home last year from the Thundering Herd, and there will be a lot of key things to keep an eye on this weekend. The following represent none of them.
- Throughout the 1930s, Marshall had no official nickname, but they were commonly referred to as the “Boogercats.” A sportswriter whose name was Dug (his parents forgot the O). Came up with the name and fought for it because he believed it created a better image than Thundering Herd. Dug was probably not well.
