GREAT NEWS!!! Pack Pride is reporting that new NC State Head Basketball Coach Sidney Lowe has passed the NCAA’s recruiting compliance test.

Another UNC-CH Grad Appointed Chair
Another in the long list of Chairpersons of the University of North Carolina System Board of Governors has been announced. The Board of Governors is the policy-making body that oversees the state of North Carolina’s 16-campus public university system. Proclaiming a new Chair at the Board is effectively synonymous with announcing that another UNC-Chapel Hill […]
Clarifying the PC Criticism
On the Thursday that it became known that Sidney Lowe was going to be announced as NC State’s Head Basketball Coach, we ran this piece highlighting and discussing the news and updates.

Better to be incompetent? or stupid?
I’m not looking to re-hash anything…just looking to chronicle something so that it isn’t forgotten. (So, there is no reason to turn on the comments of this entry). On Tuesday, News & Observer ran an article that focused primarily on Sidney Lowe. At the bottom of the article, the N&O quickly touched on a re-cap […]
DeCourcy’s Good Piece – State Not Doing it Right
Mike DeCourcy of the The Sporting News helped the national media save a little face on Tuesday when he ran a piece called N.C. State isn’t doing this hiring thing right. So much that has been written recently from survey-course-journalists who were educated on MTV and Nintendo has been so far beyond the realm of […]
