Some of the comments on the recent Monday Morning entry got me to thinking about the possible effects of our lack of athletic success on the university as a whole. I have to believe that athletics is a big component of the marketing and identity of a university (and you can make a fair case […]
ACC & Other
Fowler, Sendek, Amato and the GSR (Updated @ 1:15pm)
NC State is currently tied for the worst record in the Atlantic Coast Conference football season as the program heads towards its longest consecutive streak of non-winning seasons since the 1950s. The Wolfpack has been picked to finish 12th out of 12 teams from almost every imaginable source for the upcoming basketball season continuing a […]
Quick Video: ACC Preview
Kind of sad when the guy that used to cover NC State for Pack Pride says that he was just on Tobacco Road and got to see UNC play and Duke and Wake practice. (cough, cough) Then again, this may be the first time in the history of a Jeff Goodman story that he mentions […]
Shocking – Lee Fowler Still Doesn’t Get It
Lodged deep within the N&O’s write-up of the upcoming Wolfpack hoops season (all WTNY, all the time, just like the buffoonish duo of Fowler and Lowe want it) is this little gem from Fowler’s always jabbering mouth: Too many times, loyalty’s a one-way street. Fans want the coach to be loyal to them, but they’re […]
NC State Beats UNC on Penalty Kicks to Advance in ACC Tourney!
#20 NC State won a crucial 1st round matchup versus #2 UNC in the first round of the ACC Men’s Soccer Championship in Cary, NC. In brutal weather conditions, the teams played two regulations and two sudden death overtimes without scoring a goal.

ACC Operation Basketball: Pack picked last (by a mile), Dennis Hopper added to staff?
Operation Basketball has been going on this afternoon and it has been very interesting to follow the event via various internet outlets. For example, NC State bloggers like ourselves have been able to interact with some members of the media via Twitter during the event. It is truly a new world!! You can follow our […]
Pack doesn’t lose! while conference season develops
FINALLY!! I Saturday of football passed without NC State losing a game and without one of our opponents winning ACC Player of the Week honors! Great work by Mike Archer for holding the Idle Byes to a big goose egg on the scoreboard. Speaking of the conference, we’ve got some really interesting items for you… […]
Saturday Football

We’ve got quite a few topics from which to choose, including game conversations. Also, don’t ignore our Twitter Feed. We thought you would […]
Profiles in Competence – Michigan AD Bill Martin
You may remember a well-received Ron Wellman post from this summer. Today, we highlight another university whose athletic director knows what he’s doing – The University of Michigan and Bill Martin. Hat tip to long-time SFN commenter Noah for sending this in (although the snarky title is all mine): Bill Martin, athletic director at the […]
BMOC: The man who doesn’t make excuses
(Wake Forest Athletics Director Ron) Wellman will soon complete his 17th year as the director of athletics at Wake Forest University. The university’s teams have flourished under him, winning conference and national championships while generally exceeding expectations for the smallest school in the Atlantic Coast Conference and one of the smallest to play major-college football.
