As Lauren Brownlow wraps up her NC State Stuff series, the conclusion is that brighter days are in fact ahead for the Wolfpack and Wolfpack nation.

Emotions are contagious, and there is science behind that. And when NC State fans collectively sense something bad is going to happen to one of their teams? It becomes a real, palpable feeling of dread, something that can only be experienced to be understood fully.

Even if NC State Stuff isn't real, plenty of NC State fans believe in it. So if they think that what can go wrong, will go wrong....then why do they keep doing it to themselves?

NC State fans don't want to be North Carolina and Duke. They love NC State. But they don't want to be on a par with them. In the latest NC State Stuff podcast, Lauren Brownlow looks at the comparison complex.

Surely curses and phenomena aren't real. Sometimes sports teams just have bad luck. There are good times too, right?

We've told you what NC State Stuff is and when it began (arguably). But is it real? There are certainly compelling arguments, especially one made by someone claiming to have started it all.

In episode two of the NC State Stuff series by Lauren Brownlow, she takes a look at the history of the curse.

In the first episode of the NC State Stuff Podcast by Lauren Brownlow, we look at the validity of the curse and the origins of the phrase.
