Out of all fundraisers in college athletics, the Wall Street Journal chose our very own Bobby Purcell to feature in this article. Some may be surprised that there wasn’t a single mention of Lee Fowler and others probably wonder how Bobby can raise so much money since NC State has such “bad” fans. Maybe the […]

TOB Comments on the booing; Caulton Tudor gets it right
A question about the boos in Carter Finley Stadium was bound to be asked, so Tom O’Brien had no choice but to respond last night on his weekly radio show hosted at Sullivan’s in Raleigh. Coach Tom O’Brien talked about how annoyed he was with the fan’s reactions to Evans play on his weekly radio […]
Coach O’Brien’s comments don’t fit NC State
Some great quotes and information came out of Coach O’Brien’s press conference yesterday and can be seen and heard by clicking here. Fortunately for all of us – Coach O’Brien’s comments indicate that he employs a management style that in no way is consistent or congruent with the value structure with Lee Fowler’s Athletics Department […]
US News and World Report College Rankings Released
NC State is ranked #83. For the record, I think these rankings are incredibly biased against land grant universities, especially those that place heavy emphasis on science and engineering. That said, NC State is more than 10 slots behind #71 Virginia Tech, and more than 20 slots lower than #61 Clemson. I consider these schools […]
GoPack.com proclaims graduated quarterback will help State at receiver in 2008
We didn’t cover the re-launch of the ‘upgraded’ GoPack.com this past week despite the obvious opportunities they provided us to criticize the website for the minimal coverage that they provided NC State alumnus, Cullen Jones, after Jones was a part of one of the most significant moments of this year’s Olympic games. GoPack’s insignificant vanilla […]
The Mary Easley Entry
We obviously were busy last week and didn’t have a lot of time to post things on the blog. (Calling all people who have author access out there!?!?!? Anyone home?) But, we wouldn’t really be following NC State appropriately if we didn’t at least provide one entry about this Mary Easley mess going on in […]
Nora Lynn Finch Leaves NC State For The ACC
GREENSBORO, N.C. – Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner John Swofford announced today that Nora Lynn Finch has been chosen to fill the position of Associate Commissioner for Women’s Basketball Operations and Senior Woman Administrator.
Ray Tanner to the rescue?
I’ve spoken with a few Wolfpackers through the years that have often referred to Ray Tanner as one of their top choices to replace Lee Fowler as the next Athletics Director at NC State. This article/entry had some interesting comments that may give us some hope that help may be on the way: Questions about […]
We’re #56!!! NCSU finishes 53rd of 66 BCS Schools (must be the ‘fuhcilities’)
The final ‘all-sports’ intercollegiate Directors Cup for 2007-2008 has been released and is accessible by clicking here. (Looks like Lee Fowler’s second embarrassment in one day.) NC State didn’t obtain extra credit for our great ‘fuhcilities’ or our fantastic fans and therefore finished the year ranked 56th in the country and next to last in […]
NC State supporters highlight Lee Fowler’s 2007-2008 annual report
Athletic Director Lee Fowler released the 2007-2008 annual report for NC State Athletics. Except for a few individual student-athletes and a couple individual programs, it was the accomplishments of NC State’s fantastic supporters and fans that received the most attention in the report. First, the NC State fans helped land Head Football Coach, Tom O’Brien; […]
