Fowler Tries Not To Comment On Amato; Embarrasses Self Again (Updated 7:45)
Mr. ‘I Know Basketball’ tried not to comment on the coaching situation of Chuck Amato, but read between the lines. When IKB won’t babble on and on about how he is in your corner. You are in serious trouble. “”I’m not going to get into any speculation about Chuck,” Fowler said. Asked if he would […]
Dear Wolfpack Nation (and other national media) — updated 6:19pm with more fun stuff
From the Desk of Lee Fowler Monday, November 20th, 2006 Dear Wolfpack Nation: I want to put to bed any suggestions made by the lunatic fringe (you know who you are) that coach Chuck Amato will be dismissed today, this week, at the end of this season, or anytime soon. Two days have passed since […]
Blood In The Water- Tudor & Dascenzo Fire Away (Updated 10:30am)
“Other than his love for his school, lively personality and work with the defensive unit, there’s not a compelling argument to be made for giving Amato more time.” (Caulton Tudor) Dascenzo: Amato’s stock isn’t on the rise Ah Chuck, this is late November and you’re standing across the field from that light blue color, the […]

(SFN feels like that piece got lost in the shuffle over the weekend so we encourage you […]

(Link) ^This announcement and the idiotic message board banter that has already begun related to the game […]
CNNSI’s Peter King on Philip Rivers
I think — no, I know — the two most impressive people I watched Sunday were Philip Rivers, in a win, and Drew Brees, in a loss. I remember talking to Phil Simms before the ’04 draft, when I’d come back from doing a story in Raleigh on the North Carolina State quarterback, Rivers, who […]

Bill Simmons Back Tracks on Bush v Mario Williams
Bill Simmons is probably one of SFN’s favorite writers. We are about the same age, grew up at the same time etc. His “13 Levels of Losing” is a MUST read for all NC State fans. That said, he jumped the gun on the Mario Williams/Reggie Bush debate like many of his friends in the […]
