    Coach Popolizio has done a great job since arriving in Raleigh 6 years ago. He's a great coach and ambassador for the sport. This is an excellent podcast... meet the coaches, wrestlers, and learn all about the program.

    Doing it the right way
    Great insights into the Packwrestle program. As an NCSU alum it makes me proud to see Pat & team building a national power the right way, recruiting quality kids and instilling the Packmentality. Thanks for giving us a window into the great things happening in Raleigh!

    Pop-Ins Podcast Questions.
    Avid follower and listener to the NC State wrestling podcast. Noticed that they were taking questions on the teams Facebook page for an upcoming episode. Do you envision anyone from this incoming top 5 recruiting class making an immediate impact this upcoming season similar to what Nick Reenan and Thomas Bullard were able to do during the 2016-2017 season? Awesome podcast keep up the great work!
  • Dylan Rope
    Great Listen! Great Wrestling Insights!
    Phenomenal job by Skip, Brian, and Staff to produce this high quality podcast. Gives a really good inside look into the Wolfpack Wrestling program throughout the year. Excited to see this grow in the years to come.

    Pack, Pat and Pop-In Fan for Life
    This podcast does a great job of giving fans more information about the sport, the program and the athletes. Brian R. comes prepared and does a good job keeping Pat talking. As Brian gets more comfortable with his role as the host expect him to push Pat with even tougher questions. I hope the podcast will continue through the off season because we still need to hear from the other coaches and important people like Sam Craven! And lastly, I must agree with Brian that mat side seating is an important way to build fan base. If you are not familiar with the sport, the athleticism of the athletes or the dedication required, sitting mat side will give you that appreciation in a second. I think it s more important for new fans vs fans who have been around the sport. So try to make something possible. If someone was sitting mat side when Michael Boykin had those take downs, they would be fans for life! Anyway, keep up the good work. I really appreciate the hard work and effort to recognize efforts of these athletes and coaches. Very entertaining!

    Great, professionally produced show that gives us an inside view of an exciting college wrestling program. How else would we know that a pig was too much for our tough wrestlers to handle or that Macchiavello had the messiest locker. Look forward to each new podcast. Keep up the good work.

  • RedWhite05

    Great show for Wolfpack fans across the country!
    I live, and coach in Columbus Ohio, and this is a great way to spend a commute and stay up to date with one of my favorite teams, and coaching staffs! Keep up the good work guys. See you in Cleveland this March! #GOPACK!

    Great insight into the program!!!
  • packfan wf
    Great podcast about a program on the rise!
    Entertaining and informative. Love catching up on Pack wrestling before heading over to Reynolds.
  • KyleSimmonsPackFanTooSweet
    Crank it to 11!!!!
    Brian and Pat have been week in and week out setting the bar for weekly update shows among college programs. Void of profanity and full of motivation and insight I can easily maintain my #packmentality from the west coast. Each week when the episode is released I know I don’t need to drink my energy combo of RedBull, coffee and Mt. Dew to get hype. I just play the sweet sounds of Brian Reinhart and Pat Popolizio waxing poetic like two old buddies. Their guest spots are top notch as well. Where else can you find out about pet pigs, Director of Ops problem solving skills or Hall of Fame WWE wrestlers?!? I’m looking forward more updates as March approaches.
  • Brinchek
    Great Program Addition
    What a great way to keep pack nation informed. It’s great to hear from the coach and guests. I love how the program has grown and this is just one more great addition to the process! Proud to see all the accomplishments in and off the mat.

    The inside scoop on NC State wrestling
    It's hard to find great resources on underappriciated sports. PackMentality Pop-Ins is the go to source for all things NC State Wrestling. You get to hear the lowdown from one of the best coaches in the sport and find out what's happening behind the scenes.

  • Blewgrace75
    Oh Yeah!!
    I’ve enjoyed these podcasts! Keep em’ coming. Would be cool to have subscribers be able to submit questions and then maybe have Coach answer 1 or 2 each cast. We submit and y’all choose the questions. And of course the subscriber whose question was used could possibly get some gear!! Just a thought. Go Pack!

    #PackMentality
    Appreciate having the opportunity to keep up with @PackWrestle - a program on the rise and bringing great recognition to NC State! I like hearing more about the student athletes and the insights about the program. Keep up the good work!
  • Zezech1
    Great insight
    Great podcast. Insights about what makes a successful program and th epeople behind it. Listening brings you into the wrestling room and the strategy behind a meteoric rise of a D1 powerhouse.
  • GLRL08
    It’s the Quality of the Pack!
    It is easy to understand why the Wolfpack is moving up in rankings so quickly after listening to the leadership and support these talented wrestlers have (not to mention the excellent character they all exhibit on and off the mat)! I love hearing the stories and look forward to hearing more.
  • One Cent Wonder
    Inside Info
    A must listen for any Wolfpack wrestling fan or fan of wrestling in general. You get to hear Coach Pops ideas on the team and vision for the program. Hear from State wrestlers and special guests. After listening you start to get an idea of what Pack Mentality is.
  • Jsanders73
    Great Show!
    I love this podcast; it’s such a great format to keep up with Pack Wrestling! I watch the team as often as I can online, but this show helps fill the void of missed matches and provides great insight to the team! Go Pack!
  • mcgibso3
    Excellent
    Awesome podcast with great content on upcoming matches, recent results, and interviews with members of the team and staff. Fantastic way to follow the program off the mat.

    Inside the Skip’s Mind
    Love to hear what the coach has to say about the Pack wrestling team. We are planning to see the team wrestle Ohio State. #WPN
  • ChrisHooks296
    Great listen

  • stategrad99
    Go pa(t)ck!
    I’ve been a State fan for a long time, but I’ve never followed the wrastling team. Let me tell you that has been a mistake. They are a fun group to follow. Love hearing the Skip’s take on things. Thanks skip and Brian!!
  • Jkgrice
    Great podcast!
    I’ve been a Wolfpack fan for over 3 decades but didn’t know anything about wrestling until the last couple years. This podcast is amazing! Reliable news about a sport that is so difficult to find coverage of, and some stunningly honest discussions about what goes on behind the scenes. Coach Pop is a treasure of the university - I can’t wait to see our team bring more titles to Raleigh!

    Great Podcast
    NC State is putting an exciting style of wrestling out on the mat and it’s good to get some insight as to what goes on behind the scenes. It’s great to see the sport growing in the area.
  • Guyyyyy yyy
    Great Listen
    Awesome to have a podcast dedicated to my school’s wrestling team.
  • RockCockJayhawk
    Pat Fan
    Ive been a Big PAt guy since 2012. Love what he’s doing there at State College and the brand he’s building. This podcast helps me get through my day. Always good to hear the skips voice.
  • Hidlay17
    Bonus for Pat
    Heath Hidlay here, older brother of pack member Hayden “mugdog” Hidlay and future pack member Trent “hoagie” Hidlay. I’m very impressed with the format and content of packmentality pop-ins. Lots of great information for pack fans and gets me jacked up for duals and tournaments. Also very impressed with the amount of bonus points that the squad has been racking up for Pat and the fans so far this season. I would like to note that I have also been producing bonus points for Pat, not on the wrestling mat per say but on the pickup basketball court, the stair-stepper, and also in the dining hall at Ursinus College. Don’t be afraid to send some gear my way because I’m always repping the pack from the south side in Lewistown, PA. Go pack.
  • prpetten1

  • Barrister09
    Great podcast!
    I’m fairly new to NC State wrestling, and this gives great insight into the team and what #PackMentality is all about. Coach Pop and the Wolfpack have established themselves as a national contender, and I look forward to following the team throughout the year.
  • #1 Pack Fan
