What a prediction!! Good old Lee Fowler and NC State. Reactive. Never proactive. Is it so much to ask that they get something right the first time? N.C. State athletics director Lee Fowler said Thursday that there should not be a shortage of bottled water for Saturday’s football game against Louisville. Spectators at last week’s […]

Technician: Passing Out Not An Option
See our previous entry with commentary on this topic by clicking here. As the N.C. State football team was falling to Clemson Saturday, there was an even bigger problem in the stands — dehydration. This problem was not confined to just a few people. Approximately 100 people had to be treated, with six having to […]
Hot Weather Causes Health Problems at N.C. State Game (Updated Sun)
Raleigh — About 100 people at the N.C. State game, and 11 who played defense at Carter-Finley Stadium were treated Saturday afternoon for heat exhaustion and dehydration.

Turning to Good News!!
About mid-way through the 2nd quarter of Saturday’s loss to UCF I turned to my friends and uttered something that I haven’t been able to say in almost twenty years when I asked– “When does basketball season start?” In that spirit, it is worth noting a couple of basketball-related items to help us get into […]

I doubt that NC State has a Ranger65
The bizarre nature of the recent revelations of internet postings of Whole Foods CEO, John Mackay reminded me of something that I noted back in December but had never run on SFN.

Wolf Pack Steal from Wolfpack
Did someone swipe toughie? This topic came up last week and is covered by S6 in this blog entry that links to a Technician article. The N&O also covered the topic in this article last week. Additionally, the Wizard of Odds is covering the situation in his/her national blog. We always get particularly interested when […]
Lee Fowler Can’t Spell Sidney Lowe’s Name
The latest “PackPlus” newsletter can be found by clicking here. “PackPlus” is an internal newsletter done by the NC State Athletics administration for the athletics and academics community on campus. Wolfpack Club Reps used to receive them in the mail (and I suspect that they still do). “Coach Fowler” usually writes a propaganda piece extolling […]
