Once Sunday’s session of the NFL draft got going, it didn’t take long for all three of NC State’s NFL prospects to have been taken off the board. We talked about Tank Tyler‘s selection by the Kansas City Chiefs yesterday. In the 4th round of the NFL draft AJ Davis was taken by the Detroit […]

Two Big Administrative Announcements: Fowler Gets Extension, Radio Switches to 101.5FM
One good announcement; one bad announcement. First, the good news. NC State has entered the 21st century of FM radio coverage. NC State officials announced today that an agreement has been reached involving its rights holder, Wolfpack Sports Marketing, and Capitol Broadcasting Corporation to partner with CBC station Mix 101.5 WRAL-FM.

Fox Sports – NC State Ranked 25th for 2007-08 Season
Here’s some nice press for Lowe and company: 25. NC State Sidney Lowe’s team loses senior point guard Engin Atsur, but look for Iowa State transfer Farnold Degand to step in and provide help running the team. Degand will have plenty of weapons as the Wolfpack return their other four starters — Brandon Costner, Gavin […]

Dave Glenn Pencils Pack in at the 4 Slot
I started to feel like my cautious optimism is at least warranted, when I read that Dave Glenn is drinking Sid’s Kool Aid: If Atsur had another year, this team would have had an incredibly high ceiling. As it is, the key factor moving forward for the Wolfpack will be the development of a reliable […]
TSN’s Hayes: Pack Football an Instant Contender?
Here’s some good press from my March 19, 2007 hard copy of The Sporting News: I keep seeing early projections that NC State will be among the worst teams in the ACC. Let’s not forget the one thing former coach Chuck Amato did well: recruit. There is talent on that roster, and if the players […]
Oh, say, can you see a class act all the way?
Add dignity, patriotism and class to heart and mental toughness and all the other accolades for Coach Sidney Lowe and his Wolfpack.

ESPN: What we learned in Tampa
I’m going to tease with Bomani Jones’ second lesson first before delving into the real meat of this piece. Here is that second lesson: “The nation should be glad NC State didn’t make the NCAAs.” Jones praises NC State and Sidney Lowe highly here:
ESPN’s Pat Forde on Lowe’s Miracle Run
If ever there was a “must read” article, this one is it. You can’t buy press this good. Something special is brewing in Raleigh, win or lose tomorrow afternoon. Sit back and feel the magic, and tell the kids your own stories about 1974, 1983, 1987, and every other moment of NC State’s proud basketball […]
