Daily Devotions for Die-Hard Fans NC State Wolfpack - Softcover

The result is a book that is fun while it provides a time of reflection about God and your faith. When women started climbing through bathroom windows to get into a game, it was time for a new gym. The 2014 UNC game was supposed to be a close one until the Pack showed just how tough it was. A young Jim Valvano didn't know lobsters had tails. The greatest offensive lineman in Wolfpack football history wanted to play defense. The only player who started every game for the Sweet 16 team of 2014-15 had a shot best described as "funky." These stories and more are recounted here. Also appearing are Philip Rivers, David Thompson, Roman Gabriel, Ted Brown, Kay Yow, and many others. Their stories along with legendary games, improbable victories, and historical events are told with a twist: They are all tied to God's story.
