This is both a sad and exciting day for the NC State community. All the authors of Statefansnation would like to thank Sidney Lowe and his staff for their efforts over the last 5 years. We also wish them the best in the future. Credit goes to rswilli2(poster from www.Packpride.com for this shot of Mr. […]
Coaches
Sean Miller with Jim Rome – sound familiar?
Please take a few minutes to watch this entire video posted this week on ESPN of Jim Rome’s interview with Sean Miller. Now take a moment to mentally replace the word “Arizona” with the words “North Carolina State”, reflect on that for a second, and then see what you think. The two are completely and […]
Mark Turgeon – A “Below the Radar” Homerun?
During the first half of conference play, the SFN community started seriously talking about coaching prospects. My main contribution: Mark Turgeon – Probably should have been our “B List” hire the last time. Now, after some great work at Texas A&M (Wichita State before that), I put him on the “A List.” He’s a former […]
Local media rushes to defend NC State against national hacks
Many props to long-time ACC sportswriters Al Featherson and Brett Friedlander for their latest columns that will be linked towards the end of this entry Also, our local radio guys like Dave Glenn, Joe Ovies, and Adam Gold have defended us all week as well. Maybe from now on the hosts won’t waste time on […]
Seth Davis & SFN address NC State fans
Dear NC State fans, Don’t you feel smarter and significantly more special being condescended to by a Duke graduate of the ilk of Seth Davis? Now that you’ve seen the video once…go back and watch it again with some cynicism and a more discerning eye. Is it me, or does Seth’s comments of our history […]
Say it isn’t so…Sendek on the hot seat?
I couldn’t believe my eyes when someone posted this link on our message boards, but apparently someone in the media is actually following Herb Sendek’s results at Arizona St. With the constant shots taken at NC State by our broadcast partners at ESPN and Raycom(specifically Mike Patrick, Mike Gminski, Tim Brando, and Len Elmore), then […]
My Personal Vision For an Orderly and Civilized Transition
I don’t think it will surprise anyone to hear that Sidney Lowe’s 5th season coaching the North Carolina State Wolfpack will be his last. I honestly don’t think anyone with an IQ above room temperature would dispute that statement. Ordinarily, there would be lots of fire and brimstone when a coach is clearly in the […]
Debbie Yow interview on Sidney Lowe and other topics
NCSU AD Debbie Yow today was interviewed on 99.9 ESPN Radio by Adam Gold and Joe Ovies. Several topics were discussed, most notably the men’s basketball program and the head coach, Sidney Lowe. She reiterated that she would review Coach Lowe’s job status at the conclusion of the basketball season. You can hear the entire […]
Benchmark Sidney Lowe: Can He Recover?
If nothing else, this should be therapeutic for NC State fans after last night’s 75-66 loss to Boston College. Sidney Lowe finds himself in mid-season at 11-5.  This isn’t necessarily a terrible record (well… it is sort of) unless you consider that our largest winning streak has been a 5-win streak over teams with mostly RPIs of […]
TOB crushed his ‘magic number’
Long time readers know that we love to follow the world of coaching moves from the expectations fans apply to their coaches to the way Athletics Directors deal with situations all the way through to the annual coaching carousel of firings and hirings. I also like to take snapshots of people who will go ‘on […]
