Awesome photo…not for the hand gesture, but to remind me of Sidney’s coaching prowess. At 0.7, he substituted in Vandenburg…good move right, put the tall guy on the ball to eliminate the lob. Nope, nada, denied. Instead, he sends him under the hoop leaving a smaller guy on the inbound. Even better, Vandenburg almost fouls the Dookie as the uncontested lob pass reaches the player in the lane for a potential tap in. Arghhh. Debbie, please save us!

mmm… I’d think that your feelings are more directed at our coach than their player.

Sidney Lowe’s college coaching career is nothing but a big, stinking, jumbo, nasty, steaming, hot cup of fail.

The guy in the third row all the way to the left visually represents how most of us feel while observing his in-game decisions.

By the way, it seems like if he would have learned one thing, ONE THING, from V it would be that fouling at the end of games, when trailing, might could potentially possibly maybe work in extending the games and just might lead to a win here or there. And I mean intentionally and directionally fouling at the start of the possession…not accidentally stumbling into an opposing player with 5 seconds left on the shot clock. Just wow. Utterly baffling.

In my 30 plus years of being a pack supporter I am not going to watch the game Saturday. I know the outcome, even if we are ahead by 30 with 10 mins to go in the second half. I know what is going to happen. Never have I not watched the UNC game. I watched Les and Herb get stomped. I have watched those games from the tip off until the final buzzer. I watched the Heels eat us alive and every now and then we beat them (remember C.C.?). This will be the first time I do not watch. TOO PAINFUL. It is not that we are going to lose because we have gone over to the dean dome under under underdogs many times before and lost. Rather, it is how we are going to lose. We might play brilliantly for a few mins and then collaspe

I know everyone likes to complain. I understand that..I want to as well, but maybe we can trn this thread into our favorite win over the holes we were actually in person to see.

Maybe just some good ole memories for a little bit might just ease our brains for a minute or two.

I was a Freshmen at State in 93, and went to the home game in 95 ( January 3rd I believe) when Stackhouse and Wallace were in Chapstick Hill ranked number 1 and Lakista MCuller and company nailed 13 three pointers and we beat the Holes 80-70. Reynolds was electric that night and I had that game on VHS and watched it until the tape didn’t work anymore. Was one of the most memorable games I had ever been too. Go Pack!!

Googs vs UNC in ’92.

Stat line: 36 pts, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals, 2 blocked shots. Look over those numbers again…

Most incredible individual performance I’ve ever seen since the days of David Thompson.

Absolutely ripped the Heels a new one !

Great. Can’t wait for it to get posted at Deadspin, right alongside our “Wolpfack” Hall Of Fame.

The lady on the left in the white is how I feel just about every time I watch a State game now……throwing up!!!!
TOBtime 01/27/2011 at 2:19 PM #

^Saw that game Woofie. Googs put on a display. One of the many he had while wearing red & white as I recall.

Personally, I wouldn’t mind if NC State just split in two at this point. Let’s field a team of engineers and scientists in Reynolds, and restore Riddick for the same purpose on the gridiron. Split off colleges like CHASS and let them have Carter-Finley and the Royal Bank of Canada Center. They can worry about all this nonsense.

Comfortably numb with a tinge of excitement for what I believe to be an inflection point in NC State basketball history (and athletics in general).

I feel like the guy behind the birdman. Just tired and ready for this to be over, though still perplexed at our team’s bipolar nature.

As for best win in person, it was the one win in my tenure, the ’07 win in the RBC Center.

I think the guy in the photo put his finger on exactly how it feels to be a State basketball fan.
Prowling Woofie 01/27/2011 at 5:14 PM #

I like the guy in Plumlee’s armpit – he’s texting instead of watching the disaster !

i’m crying this is so hilarious! ^ once again, well said 61!

Yay for Greg Marshall

My favorite was the Googs show referenced above. That was amazing! My dad took me to that game. I’ll never forget the excitement leaving Reynolds, walking through the tunnels, and out on Hillsborough street! Googs was quite a player.

Saw the Googs game sitting right on the railing, in the first row, center court on the players side of the court. I believe those were the best seats in all of college basketball at the time. Definately still the best I ever sat in. Smedes York (former mayor) sat right behind me and kept telling me to sit down. (lol)
Incredible game – if I remember right, at least at the time his 36 was the most points ever scored by an individual on Carolina.

Check this out http://blogs.newsobserver.com/accnow/smith-pack-collapse-not-lowes-fault

“Smith, who is more of lead-by-example player, said he will be more vocal in the final 10 games.

“At this point, I’ve got to do what I’ve got to do whether it’s screaming, shouting, cussing, anything,” Smith said.”

How pathetic is it that this chump is putting his players in the position of defending him? First Harrow, now Smith.

Sidney Lowe is being compensated extremely handsomely to take the heat. If he can’t take it he needs to quit. But don’t put a bunch of 18-21 year old kids in the middle of your epic failure.

I was at the Googs game in ’92. Sat with a UNC fan who was furious at the end of the game and indignantly informed me that “if it hadn’t been for Gugliotta, State would have lost”. To which I replied, “yeah, and if it hadn’t been for Hubert Davis, State would have won by 30… what’s your point?”

Typical UNC fan, thinking they are entitled to all the talent, and they have somehow been cheated if the other team has a standout performance.

Seeing the poll question, Packers or Steelers, reminds me of V’s story about his first coaching gig, when he went too far in channeling Lombardi and told the Rutgers freshman team in the pep talk that the three most important things in their lives should be their family, their religion and the Green Bay Packers.

Made me smile
Wolfy__79 01/27/2011 at 6:47 PM #

where was it said that sidney lowe put his players up to speaking out for him. it is a very sad day to see a “state” fan call sidney lowe a chump.

tracy smith may just be being a MAN. granted, he needs to be the MAN on the floor. i’m shocked at what i just read!
howlie 01/27/2011 at 7:18 PM #

To keep the thread off track, I remember the great Gugliotta game–& the reports from the locker room afterwards.
After an immense thrashing, the Carolina players commented, “It doesn’t matter that they had a lucky night, we all know we’re the better team.”
Pure Carolina Class.

Classof89 why don’t you show some. You don’t call a fellow brother of Wolfpack Nation – 1 who was part of the team that brought us our last of 2 national titles – a chump.

I’ll agree w/you he may not be a great coach (or even a good 1), but if you were in my presence & called him a chump I would have to strongly disagree. When you are part of a team or individually bring national recognition to NCSU, then I might listen.
