We will leave this entry open for folks to talk about the Hurricanes’ win and link to interesting articles and blog entries. 850’s Buzz Blog has been the easiest place to follow the Canes in the Blogosphere.
NC State should do everything that can be done to find creative ways to link our Athletics Department to the glow of the Canes Championship. In the very least, the World Champions should be honored by the NC State community at one of the football games in September or October.
As Rick stated in our comments section:
This wouldn’t have happened without the initial creative energy and drive of NC State people. From Jim Valvano, Charlie Bryant, Steve Stroud, Perry Safran and many others to every NC State fan that contributed to the building of this magnificent arena; this achievement was made possible. The State of North Carolina, Wake County, the City of Raleigh and the Carolina Hurricanes are certainly full partners in the building but it was NC State people that made this happen.
For those that do not remember, the City of Raleigh was the toughest partner to bring on board and make no mistake about this – it was through the City of Raleigh that the enemies of NC State worked the hardest to make this not happen or to be built as an antiquated clone of the Smith Center.
We think that it is sometimes neat to memorialize screenshots from national websites. Since we so rarely link to CBS Sportsline because of Greg Dickhead we thought that we’d highlight their site tonight.
