N&O: The College Inn – An Address of Choice
We will have more about this later…but wanted to post the link so everyone could comment on the article. since this is a potential NCAA compliance issue. Just another example of what absentee management will do for you when you have someone unwilling to LEAD and unable to manage ALL of the moving pieces of […]
“Coach” Fowler, Habitual No-Show
Lee Fowler must be a busy man with his fishin’ and avoidance of providing direction or oversight for any of NC State’s various underachieving coaches. He certainly couldn’t be bothered to make his scheduled appearance at the Wolfpack Club caravan in Charlotte. We hear this is becoming something of a pattern for “Coach.” In any […]

Where Amazing Happens…Happened
Tip of the hat to the Pack Pride message boards for highlighting this fantastic YouTube Video titled, “Where Amazing Happens – NC State”. Without explicitly stating it, this video provides a damning commentary of the current nature of the NC State athletics program as the bulk of the actual achievements in the video all took […]
More “Coach Fowler” Wisdom
Fowler’s talking to Tim Peeler on gopack.com, so you knew that some unintended hilarity would ensue. Although there are actually some good points in the article (SFN heartily welcomes the promised changes in the basketball office), we can’t resist commenting on this nugget: “Regarding basketball, when I was an assistant coach at the University of […]
Why would LSU choose Joe Alleva over Lee Fowler?
Lee Fowler‘s interest in other Athletics Director jobs have not been a secret since his arrival in Raleigh in September of 2000. In the seven-plus years of Fowler’s tenure, the man that likes to be referred to as “Coach” has expressed interest and interviewed for multiple jobs of all shapes and sizes. As anyone who […]
Major NCAA Hoops Announcement Tomorrow?
I could see the early entry rule changed from one year to two years, but the NBA Player’s Association would have to sign off on that change first: 1:55 p.m. — A press release was just passed out. There’s a press conference at 1 p.m. on Monday here in San Antonio. It’s set up for […]
Baseball Double-Dip vs Wake Forest Today
Mother Nature decided not to cooperate yesterday, so a double header is underway. I’ve commented on these before- I love double headers against a superior opponent, hate ’em against inferior competition. The basic reason is, well, they’re hard to sweep! State took Friday’s season opener 7-2 behind an outstanding pitching performance by Clayton Shunick including […]
25th Anniversary – April 4, 1983; SFN Blogs the ‘Celebration’
Today’s entry is a two-parter. One part good. One part disgusting. 1983 Anniversary Many on the faculty hate it. I’m sure most of the adminstrators are oblivious to it. The folks who don’t follow sports don’t understand it. Our rivals used to shake their head at it. But, today’s date is perhaps the most important […]
