Maybe we should cool the talk about Julius Hodge becoming Herb Sendek’s first player (to leave the NC State program on good terms) to play in the National Basketball Association until it actually happens. Although it is sure to happen at some point, the rookie drafted twentieth overall by the Denver Nuggets has failed to […]

The Onion Takes on Notre Dame
For those of you that don’t already read The Onion, you’re really missing out. Recently, they’ve taken their hard-hitting satirical approach to the sports world, as best evidenced by this side splitter. Enjoy.
WDNC AM 620AM In Durham Turns To Sports Talk
Sort of a wierd move. 620AM used to have a simulcast the signal of 570AM. They are owend by the same company (Curtis Media) that owns 850 the Buzz. From the article, it sounds like they are going to have their own sports programming during the day.
Quote: State fans Outnumbered Wake
“It’s hard to tell about these things – and red does stand out – but NC State’s fans clearly out-numbered Wake Forest’s on the visitors side of Groves Stadium” David Scott Charlotte Observer Sunday, October 23, 2005 Scott’s recognition that NC State fans continue to deliver for our program should help explain why the Wolfpack’s […]
NOT Davis Throws 2 Scores in Loss to Wake
The headline of GoPack.com’s article on State’s horrible loss to Wake Forest reads as follows: “Wolfpack Fall In Winston-Salem. Jay Davis throws a pair of scores in the loss. “ If only that were true. (By the time that you click on the article, they probably will have fixed it). Anyone who followed todays nightmare […]
Today’s Fowler Media Count
It’s like the energizer bunny. After receiving widespread criticism for creating significant negative national attention at the end of last week, the Lee Fowler quote machine just keeps on rolling. After the N&O ran the BIG NEWS that Lee Fowler supports Julius Hodge on Wednesday (THIS is news?) …we find out today that the Wolfpack […]
Media Agrees: Fowler Should Shut-Up
There must be a full moon tonight. Despite a few stragglers still fighting the Lee Fowler battle on the Pack Pride Message Boards, the overwhelming majority of ‘advice’ to “Coach Fowler” seem to be in significant agreement with our perspective #1 and our perspective #2. Tonight we have learned that even ‘impartial’ observers are in […]
Mission Accomplished: Fowler’s Name in Lights!! (…again)
I couldn’t help but chuckle. (No pun intended). Actually, “chuckle” is an incorrect representation of the amusement I received Friday when a friend from Raleigh emailed Lee Fowler’s open letter to fans to my Blackberry. I almost wrecked as I tried to park my vehicle. (By the way…How long did that take? Seriously….did Fowler have […]
The USC Lovefest Gets Worse
I never thought it possible that the media could love USC more, but it’s happened. And why? Because they almost, no make that should have, lost another game. Now the “Greatest Offense Everâ€? supposedly scripted a comeback win in the “Greatest Game Everâ€?. I fully expect that if USC does lose a game the headlines […]
Two Perspectives on Thursday’s Crowd
Not to beat a dead horse, but Lee Fowler’s open letter was ridiculous both substantively and procedurally. From a substantive standpoint, it’s pure blather. Mr. “I know basketball, and football too, I guess” points to football facilities that “we might not even have” if not for Chuck Amato. As a friend pointed out, most of […]
