Remembering the legendary Chuck Amato. 🏈
The former @packfootball coach, who spanned multiple decades of NC State athletics, died on Monday at the age of 80.
His 2002 Wolfpack team accomplished more than any other in school history, finishing with a program record 11 victories and beating heralded Notre Dame in the New Year’s Day Gator Bowl. Amato’s teams were 49-37 in his seven seasons, with additional postseason victories.
“He pushed us to limits that we didn’t know we had,” said former captain Clayton White. “He brought so much personality and persona to NC State, and we were all so proud of that.”
From NCAA champion runner to record-setting coach, Laurie Henes ‘92 has built a cross country dynasty. 🏆🏃

Do you prefer eastern or western barbecue sauce? 👀
What can usually divide a household in North Carolina has served as the secret to success for @ncstatecnr’s Dr. Chris DePerno. As the creator of Slobberin’ Sauce — the latest co-branded NC State product — Dr. DePerno combined an eastern vinegar tang with a western tomatoey-based finish.
“It’s a really great sauce to unite family and friends around the kitchen table,” he said.
