In a followup to the Ken Tysiac story from the weekend where the Observers’ headline writer claimed that 29 emails made the difference in the status of Lee Fowler’s job, former Technician sports editor and sometime NC State blogger Jim Pomeranz makes sense of it all and injects some much-needed reality: In reality, the idea […]

Big Fowler Article in the Sunday Observers; headline contradicts information in article
Both the Charlotte Observer and Raleigh’s News & Observer ran a large featured article this morning titled – Fowler’s exit from NC State linked to emails. There is SO MUCH here that I don’t have time to start before heading to church! But, we just had to link it and get the conversation started. (Actually…true […]
Media misses mark on CLC’s top selling collegiate brands
In an all-too-typical move by the mainstream media, ESPN’s Heather Dinich reported today that NC State is not among the 75 top selling brand-name schools licensed by the Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC). Dinich’s blog post read: Other schools ranked among the top 75 universities were: No. 36 Maryland No. 38 Virginia No. 40 Georgia Tech […]
Bill Friday, “Fowler Fan”
Over the weekend, the News & Observer ran a fairly interesting piece about the rising costs of running athletic departments. As is usually the case in such analysis, there’s someone quoted for certain hand-wringing over the “big business” nature of modern college sports. And when a North Carolina media outlet runs such a piece, NC […]
Couple More Wolp Fack Gems From The SID’s Office
Anyone want to sit on the Wolfpack “Dougout” side at the Doak? Get your New Jersey’s before you head to the Men’s Restroom’s. (I apologize that I have no idea what the Men’s Restroom’s possess.) The awful misuse of apostrophe’s 🙂 has me wondering if the great Donal Ware authored this page of the media […]
Credit where it’s due: The Triangle Business Journal
I’ve subscribed to the TBJ for some time, and I find it to be amazingly informative as a small business owner in the Triangle. It’s a great way for me to keep my finger on the pulse of the business world around me. It seems recently, however, I’ve found it to also be THE authority […]
How NC State’s Sports Information Department Really Works
One of things you hear Wolfpack fans howling about the most is the way that NC State and its teams are covered in the media.  They say that NC State never gets a break in the local paper, the Charlotte paper, the television media or many of the online columnists that help shape the country’s […]
A not so shining moment
The second most discussed item related to Monday’s National Basketball Championship game had nothing to do with what happened on the floor of Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis — it was related to the awful new production of “One Shining Moment” with Jennifer Hudson. If you didn’t know that Jennifer Hudson was going to sing […]

Four Bytes for the Final Four
Home cooking in 1974 It is always nice to be remembered. (Link) 1974 – NC State (@ Greensboro) – 80 miles. This NC State team led by David Thompson was really, really good, but make no mistake, UCLA in the semis and Marquette in the finals were playing road games. There was a serious pride […]
