Zarzour: Today is the Day

This is a short one…so, while you are here take a look around and have some fun.

I don’t live in the Triangle anymore, so I don’t have the opportunity to listen to a lot of local sports radio. But, from what I can gather, Taylor Zarzour of 1090AM has done a very commendable job of covering the NC State coaching search.

Evidently, this morning Zarzour reported the following:

* Confirmed the obvious that Calipari was in Raleigh last night to visit facilities.

* Discussed Cal’s strained relations with Memphis’ AD and frustration with not being paid market value without so much prodding.

* Shared that NC State refused to offer Calipari a contract in Memphis. Told Cal that if he came to visit that he would be offered a contract.

* NC State offered the contract that pays $1.7 million a year with incentives that can get him to $2.0 million. The incentives were not ridiculous to achieve.

* I did not hear Zarzour, but my friend told me that Zarzour shared that he would guess/predict that Calipari would accept and be NC State’s next coach. That is not the same as the people on the idiot boards saying that Zarzour reported that Calipari was going to be our next coach.

* The answer will come today.

Hold on tight.

    Bleeds_Red, are these the same people who think Cal wasn’t in Raleigh last night?

    by the way, who ever said we would hear today? who says Memphis doesn’t play back at him. all we found out was that he didn’t get an actual offer until he landed in Raleigh, so he did it… we might not even hear anything today. just putting it out there

    I’d say he’ll find a house after he gets here. Amato rented a house for a long time before he built the one up on Ebeneezer Church Road….

    Would it be possible to just move forward? Anyone who wants to continue to obssess could move to Tempe and not miss a beat.

  14. Bleeds_Red 04/11/2006 at 10:37 AM #

    Pitts, its the same folks on the tigers board that are their “insiders” who are supposedly never wrong. They are not saying much other than they are sticking with their original story that he is staying.
    Who knows?
    GO PACK!

    My fiancee (NCSU ’03) and I are building at the Waterford…. We can’t wait to move into our first house…. It’s nice to see that there are more wolfies here than just me. I work 5 blocks back from the river in downtown. It’ll be really nice once the house is done. Right now we have a 45 min commute….

    Hold off on the t-shirts for a day or two, please.

    We are definitely interested in putting something together

    As long as we unite the fanbase once again. Remeber, not everyone was in the lunatic fringe.

  21. WilmingtonWolf05 04/11/2006 at 10:48 AM #

    The Waterford is on US 17 in Leland. You can’t miss it as you’re going to Myrtle Beach.

  22. ltkurtz 04/11/2006 at 10:48 AM #

    Yes, but we welcome all state fans to the lunatic fringe. It would probably manifest beyond it’s original meaning anyway.

    We all love NC State. And my new OFFICIAL MASCOT OF NC STATE IS KELLY FOX:

    “Said Wolfpack Club member Kelly Fox: “Everybody comes out and says, ‘You’re Carolina’s and Duke’s little brother and you can’t compete with those guys.’ Ya know what? Everybody who graduates from N.C. State goes out and competes against Duke and Carolina people every single day. And we kick their butt. You think I’m scared to compete with them in athletics? I expect the teams that I provide money to to compete with the best in the country.â€?
