Yesterday, Athletic Director Debbie Yow announced the Inaugural Hall of Fame class for the NC State Hall of Fame. The inductees are: I don’t have any real qualms with the first class. Obviously, some of the names were locks like Thompson, Case, Yow, and Brown. All inductees are deserving of being a part of this […]
Debbie Yow
Good year for the revenue sports…but
This year has been a good year if you are part of Wolfpack Nation. A bowl win, Men’s Sweet 16, and a Super Regional all occurred this year. Only Baylor and Florida could say the same thing. This is the best set of results for the major sports in one single academic year in a […]
N.C. State’s athletic future looks bright
Stumbled upon this great puff piece while doing research for baseball articles. Haven’t seen it linked elsewhere and wanted to get it up for anyone that hasn’t seen it yet. Just a little something to get you excited about next school year’s potential, and keep you excited thru the long college sports black hole of […]
N&O features Yow & her novel approach of accountability
It was a good weekend for NC State in the local media. The headline in Saturday’s morning’s News & Observer proclaimed that academic fraud was found at UNC-Chapel Hill (shocker!) and the feature story of Sunday’s sports section was, “Yow’s challenge: Put N.C. State athletic department on top” (Link). After taking over as athletic director […]
NC State signs deal with Adidas
GoPack.com reports NC State has signed a deal with Adidas. I am not sure what to think about this. I have heard that Nike will never sign NCSU because of the whole Jimmy V travesty so that might not even be an option but Adidas has always seemed like the “runner up” in the shoe […]
Speaking of expectations: NCSU in top ten preseason polls
Mark Gottfried’s NC State basketball program continues to attract some major national media attention!! Just today, two different preseason polls from national outlets – ESPN and NBC – have projected next year’s Wolfpack to start in the top ten in the country. I think they are assuming Leslie comes back. The excitement of college basketball […]
Tournament Factoids Part 3: A Generation-Long Rebuild
Some time ago I wrote a brief entry outlining a few factoids about NC State’s history in post-season, post-conference tournament play. When you look at the rich history and tradition NC State has, it becomes quickly apparent that a quick-and-dirty review of NC State’s tournament past really doesn’t do NC State’s basketball program justice. NC State […]
Gottfried says what we all are thinking
As reported on yahoo sports. Gottfried responds to a question about Karl’s Hess’ ejection of two NCSU legends. I, for one, appreciate a coach who is willing to stand up for us. Most of the media seem to be in agreement that what Hess did is wrong but the ACC has refused to address this […]
ACC: Hess reprimanded (8pm Update)
8pm Update: J.P. Giglio writes that Gugs and Fire were kicked out for “excessive demonstration” (N&O): In the email to N.C. State, Hess wrote: “They were ejected for excessive demonstration on several calls as they came right up to the scorer’s table. The policeman at the end of the FSU bench was warned that their […]
Hess “naturally has thick skin” (his words)
We’re not overreacting here, and we’re not in the mood to let this go easily. Luckily for us, we might actually have some help from elsewhere in the blogosphere and even from, of all folks, (gasp) the media. Courtesy of Mark Armstrong’s Twitter (ArmstrongWTVD), we’re directed to a 2008 column by Bill Hass, where Karl […]
