Let’s hope their article after the Pack’s 81-56 win in Raleigh proves to be accurate foreshadowing. Beyond the reporter’s glum thoughts, you have these choice player quotes: – A.D. Vassallo: “In sports there’s always that one team or that one player that always performs good against you, and I think N.C. State’s got the upper […]
Sidney Lowe
Tudor: Bigger & Better Things Ahead
We will keep our game entry untouched and wanted to highlight Caulton Tudor’s piece in its own entry this morning. The Wolfpack, 16-14 overall, has done more than enough to turn Sidney Lowe’s first season as men’s basketball coach into a ringing success. Although former coach Herb Sendek’s teams won 105 games from 2002 through […]
Media naysayers (and Lee Fowler): Come and get some more crow!
For every last one of you who said it — and you jackasses know who you are, and so do we — NC State fans are delusional if they think they can expect to compete against Duke with Coach K and UNC with Roy Williams! What coach is going to want to go there?
Thoughts on the UNC Rivalry
Yesterday’s discussion about Roy’s advice to Sid propmpted me to think a bit more about rivalries (particularly vs. UNC in basketball). I have pointed to Matt Doherty as the ideal UNC coach for State fans (incompetent, easy to hate), and Roy Williams is pretty much the anti-Doherty – which kind of sucks for us. Or […]
Vitale: Lowe One of Next Generation of “Great Coaches”
Link Though the Wolfpack has been on a roller coaster during this season, Sidney Lowe has gotten generally great reviews from the press. Dick Vitale heaped some praise today on Coach Lowe in his USA Today column: [Who] is ready to make a name big time? Some names to keep in mind: Karl Hobbs, George […]
Atsur: Lowe is The Soul
“He is the soul of this team and not seeing him on the bench, especially in a big game like this, affected us.” February 21, 2007 NC State senior point guard, Engin Atsur
Whit on Sid
Link Whittenburg was asked Saturday (after his Rams lost to Charlotte 72-68 at Halton Arena) if he ever heard from the Wolfpack last spring about its then-vacant coaching position. Whittenburg just smiled. “I’m happy for Sidney,” he said of Sidney Lowe, his former Wolfpack teammate and now N.C. State’s coach. “It was the right opportunity […]
Official Embarrassment Thread
To a man, it appears that the NC State Wolfpack forgot there was a basketball game scheduled for today. Just a hideous effort all around. Yes, the game isn’t over yet, and maybe a miracle finish will make me look silly – but I seriously doubt it. Officially, this is the first truly inexplicable, embarrassing […]

More in the Media
For too long, it was just one line on a 16-game Atlantic Coast Conference schedule. For too long, N.C. State tried to minimize the importance of its annual showdowns with North Carolina, trying too hard to detach itself from the fervent emotion of a rivalry that stretches back 95 years. For too long, with UNC […]
