When your Athletic Director won’t fire a coach that has lost 64 consecutive ACC matches do you really think he would fire one that has only lost 6 ACC football games in a row? “Coach” Fowler should have some good insight into the volleball situation since his daughter Kristin is a sophmore on the team.

T.A. – Truly the Poor Man’s Maurice Clarett
Well, it’s official – the career cycles of former Wolfpack tailback T.A. McLendon and former Ohio State freshman sensation Maurice Clarett have reached perfect harmony – neither back made it through their initial NFL training camp . We can all remember the parallels – each player shooting up their team’s depth chart as true freshmen, […]
Maddox to IR
Former NC State safety, Andre Maddox has been placed on injured reserve after tearing ligaments in his knee on Friday night in an NFL exhibition game against the New York Giants. Many experts considered Maddox, a steal when the New York Jets drafted him in the fifth round with the 161st overall pick of the […]
State Strongly Represented in Harris Poll
As if Buddy Green wasn’t enough throwback for one morning…Steve Czaban also made an off-handed reference to former NC State football coach Dick Sheridan when he was criticizing the new Harris Interactive BCS college football poll.

The Mavs own an option for a second year. Powell will be guaranteed $410,000 next year, basically providing a guaranty that he will make the […]
Hodge Update & Links
Isn’t it nice to FINALLY have some reasons to pay just a little bit of attention to the NBA? It has been a long while since the late 80s when NC State had more players on NBA rosters than any other college program in the country (except for UNC-CH). In addition to the big waves […]
Nate McMillan Moves On
Like Julius Hodge, Nate McMillan is somewhat of a throw-back…but, a different style of throwback than Hodge. Always poised and professional, McMillan has always been steady and consistent and has been one of my 5 Favorite Wolfpackers of all-time since his days in Raleigh in the mid-1980s. McMillan’s entire NBA career (playing and coaching) has […]
We’re #50….51!!!!

(You may recognize the “Directors Cup” from its former identity of “Sears Cup”). Lee Fowler’s NC State Athletics Department finished the season ranked #51 in the country, logging its worst overall season since […]
