Maybe it’s unfair, but I have routinely compared Sidney Lowe’s performance with Tom O’Brien’s performance, at least within my circle of Wolfpack faithful. The debate can often become colorful and I usually, and admittedly, find myself on the outside looking in on the popular response. Now that we’re more than a few years in to […]
Fowler wins SE Athletic Director of the Year
http://www.wralsportsfan.com/ncsu/story/7788889/ This won’t take long. If he’s so damn good at his *^$&#*$($ job, why can’t he get another one? Why was he fired? The SE Athletic Director of the Year Award is now about as credible as the Nobel Peace Prize. I guess now Lee can leave NC State saying he at least won […]
Tom O’Brien After Russell Wilson
Although Russell says he is coming back to play in the fall even after being drafted in the 4th round of Major League Baseball’s Draft, it may be time for Tom O’Brien to dust off his Contingency Plan. After all, professional athletes NEVER posture and use leverage to get the maximum salary they can pull… […]
Russell Wilson Drafted in the 4th Round (Updated 8:00)
Developing and also discussed here. Russell Wilson was drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the 4th Round/140th Pick. Apparently, the Rockies love some ACC Quarterbacks as Kyle Parker was drafted earlier. Some interesting Tweets: MikeBart1434 played against NC State’s Russell Wilson, he is a freak athlete played 4 diff positions against us, also QB for […]
Simon Harris signs with Dallas… COWBOYS (McCuller & Baker also sign)
Interesting turn of events for former NC State basketball player, Simon Harris. After graduating from NC State in 2009, Harris basketball in Ireland, came back all beefed up (I guess a diet of meat and potatoes can do that to you) and signed a free agent contract with the COWBOYS (not the Mavericks) in hopes […]
Let’s See If We Can Blow The Final Gasket In Ole Roy’s Head
Tuesday night’s game against the Tar Heels couldn’t be more critical. Not from a strategic perspective and the need to win some ACC games, but from a personal perspective. We all heard the jeers from the Tar Heel faithful during their exodus from Carter-Finely having been beaten by a single point: “Wait till basketball season!” […]
The Sidney Lowe Rebound
As a 2004 NC State graduate, there wasn’t really much to write home about when it came to sports. A few years of Philip, a Gator Bowl win, and a few really disappointing ACC Tournament Championship games… I moved to the midwest after college and was in a small bar watching Julius Hodge take on […]
Wednesday Bytes: Holtz for Congress and Wilson Watching
Two interesting tidbits from today. The Associated Press is reporting that Former NC State Football Coach Lou Holtz is considering a run for Congress in Florida for the GOP. ORLANDO, Fla. — Former N.C. State football coach Lou Holtz is mulling a run for Congress in Florida as a Republican. The Associated Press reported that […]
Building a Dynasty
While the hopes of the Pack’s basketball season virtually unravels into a state that is all too familiar for most Wolfpack fans, we can take plenty of consolation in noting that Will White and Chris Wood have won the Under Armour College Bass National Championship! The crazy thing is, both White and Wood admit they […]
RBC 2.0 – finally some HD
The RBC is getting some much needed A/V upgrades today. Instead of black and white scoreboards with the resolution of a 1995 cellphone, the RBC is getting equipped with full HD scoreboards all the way around. This is a welcomed development. If we had this installed this year, the folks in the 300 level would’ve […]
