The Mind Of Lee Fowler
Article by: Michael Byrne Looking at today?s (February 9) News & Observer creates a disturbing sense of déª vu. The newspaper lauds for page after page tonight?s marquee game between Duke and North Carolina, programs finding their usual February place (in Carolina?s case fully recovered from Matt Doherty) at the top of the ACC heap.

Littlepage Leads by Example For Fowler
For what may be the first time in Lee Fowler’s 4+ years in Raleigh, the man has been publicly quiet. Silent. I mean, silent as a mouse. He hasn’t popped-off in a newspaper interview for weeks. I hope someone has taken the time to check his temperature?
(Good, God. Has he really been here that long? How many SEC jobs can one guy fail to land in an election cycle?! Surely one has to come up with something after all of those swings of the bat? Don’t worry, Lee. Your behind the scenes jockeying for the Ohio State job might pay off yet….oops…did I just say that? Was that supposed to stay quiet?)
As the season has progressed, I have cited Fowler’s conspicuous silence to my friends as a reason for optimism that this dismal basketball record may actually have an opportunity to come to an end this year. (Please let me dream).
* One of my all-time favorites is how Lee gave his cell phone number to all of the newspaper reporters when he first got to State because he wanted to make sure that they always had the truth. LOL!!! As we soon learned, they always had the truth, and Lee always had his name in the paper.
ESPN: State “Biggest Disappointment”
It really shouldn’t be a big surprise to most people that can swallow water without a machine, but Joe Lunardi of ESPN named NC State the “biggest disappointment of the college basketball season.” Additionally, Lunardi named Boston College, next year’s new member of the ACC, as the biggest surprise. * Since Al Skinner of BC […]
GASPing at straws
A friend called me about 8:20 or so this evening, heaving laughter. “You — heeheehee — You’re not going to believe what Herb just said on his show.” (I suppose at this point I should mention that I don’t listen to Sendek’s show, which I consider only marginally less entertaining than his offense and only […]

Flashback: Beowolf’s Top 10 Excuses
At 9:35am on March 10, 2001, the (in)famous Beowolf posted an article on the original Statefans.com When the article was originally written, WolfpackNation was in the midst of heated debate regarding the future of Herb Sendek’s leadership of the NC State Basketball Program. Sound familiar? I draw your attention to Beo’s article from almost four […]
Quotes of Note: Bloggers on Sendek
= > RedandWhiteFrom State: We pay Herb Sendek to be a leader. Doing nothing is not leading, especially when the situation is dire. If Sendek had nothing to contribute, he should have bought a ticket and watched from the stands like the 18,000 happy Tar Heel fans. It is time for leadership for Wolfpack basketball. […]
