Fayetteville Observer – Critical Offseason for Lowe
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the “slow season.” As we wait for the NBA and NHL playoffs to die their slow, agonizing death and count the days until NFL training camp opens (i.e., when sports is legitimately “in session” again), there isn’t much to talk about. This morning, Dan Wiederer outlines some questions facing the […]
Fowler Makes His Performance a Public Issue; Sidney Lowe Q&A with Chip Alexander
There is an awful lot of interesting stuff for a Daily Update for it be a random Friday afternoon in late April. SFN will definitely have a lot more on the topics included in this entry in the coming days, but we wanted to get this out there for your comments as soon as possible. […]
More “Coach Fowler” Wisdom

You have high expectations, and I think the fans did, and we have not lived up to them. That’s the huge frustration.” Fowler said some Wolfpack players […]
Duke Game Thread
A dreadful Senior Day is a near certainty. Final word: Yeah, it was dreadful. Just not in the way I expected. Duke takes it’s only second half lead at 87-86, and the game ends that way.
Stages of Wolfpack Grief – Where Are You?
With last night’s loss, it’s pretty clear that NC State will finish 4-12 in ACC play, with no post-season. We will finish last if Virginia wins one of its final four games. Even so, I managed to watch last night’s game with a relaxed and calm demeanor. I don’t remember so much as a “damn […]
