Note: This is about, oh, 3 weeks late- but it is still relevant I suppose as a “getting to know you†for those not as attached to baseball as I. In an effort to expand coverage a bit here at Statefansnation I have volunteered to try my hand at providing some baseball commentary (as has […]
NC State
DT Lifted ACC Sky High
What else did you think that NC State fans had to discuss the week of the 2008 ACC Tournament? The early 1970s, of course! All sarcasm aside, the Charlotte Observer‘s Ron Green ran a great piece today calling David Thompson “The Best Ever” in the best basketball league in America. Green’s piece can be read […]
N.C. State’s Fowler Backs Lowe, Says Chemistry an Issue (Updated 8:50 pm)
Audio of the interview. “Winning is good, losing is bad,” Fowler said Wednesday morning in an interview on 99.9 FM The Fan. “We’ve been very frustrated this year. You have high expectations, and I think the fans did, and we have not lived up to them. That’s the huge frustration.” Fowler said some Wolfpack players […]
Cowher Downsizing, Staying in Raleigh
There have been some weird rumors regarding Bill Cowher in recent days; many of which have been perpetuated by the website linked here. The N&O addressed the topic directly from the horse’s mouth this morning. Bill Cowher is moving – to another house in Raleigh. Cowher put his 7,400-square-foot North Raleigh mansion on the market […]
State Guys to Watch for in MLB in 2008
Yeah, I was in the show…You know, you never handle your luggage in the show, someone else carries your bags. It was great. You hit white balls for batting practice, the ballparks are like cathedrals, the hotels all have room service, and the women all have long legs and brains. (Crash Davis in “Bull Durham”) […]

Let’s Play Two!
Say Hey, Baseball has gotten underway. Check it out here if you haven’t made the trip to the Doak already. It’s a double-dip and it started around high noon. Did I mention that it’s against the pesky Mountain folk of Boone (they probably like these thick, peat smellin’, dreary days being from the highlands and […]
Simple Men Looking for Candidate of Change!
With the biggest sporting event NC State hosts all year upon us (sorry TOB, it’s still the ACC), I’d like to maximize the volume of on-lookers by making an announcement now. Imagine some random guy passing out leaflets to pedestrians in Times Square (UNX @ State in RBC arena) versus the opportunity I had last […]
“Now I know why Tigers eat their Young”
There could, and maybe should have been an open thread just on fond rememberances of the ’83 Championship team running non-stop all night. 25 years, could it really have happened that long ago? RR was in office and I was six years old and occasionally glancing the rim with my jump shot. In short, it […]
Campout Fiasco (Updated)
‘Crisis’ averted. Friday morning update – “After much consideration and work by student leaders, specifically Jay Dawkins, an agreement was reached with Dr. Tom Stafford. The agreement was reached that all 2,847 tickets will be allotted to Campout.” The following was our original entry on the topic as of Thursday night: For the years that […]
