While you prepare for tonight’s National Championship, we thought that we would have some fun and turn your attention to another National title. We didn’t inundate you with links to The Big Picture’s “Who Would You Do Tournament” during the early rounds…but, the tournament has reached the Championship round and we thought that you may […]

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 […]
The Valvano approach to the Final Four
I friggin’ love YouTube for finds like this, an ESPN preview of the 1983 National Championship game: Check it out. You’ll see glimpses of Valvano’s love for life, his passion for the game as well as his perspective about the relative importance of basketball in life, his pre-game instruction to “have fun” (something that the […]
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 […]
Lowe: ‘I love NC State’
In recent weeks some ‘rumblings’ regarding regarding some NBA teams’ interest in Sidney Lowe have been ruminating in some circles around the NC State Basketball program. SFN has no information on the topic. Regardless, we thought that the following quote from today’s N&O was worth highlighting. “I’m happy at N.C. State. I can’t think about […]
Atsur’s Parting Quote
After four years, we all love and respect Engin Atsur very much. In this entry on the N&O’s Blog, he leaves us with quite a special statement. It has been great. I’m proud of my university and my team, all my teammates and coaches. I had a great career. I enjoyed it very much. It […]
Kay Yow, inspiration
I’m embarrassed to admit, but I write this post in shock and sadness. I had not realized, not until reading an article in The New York Times (of all places!), just how serious NC State women’s basketball coach Kay Yow‘s cancer had progressed. The hall-of-fame legend who once coached the Olympic women’s team is at […]
Burleson Anniversary
We’re big fans of looking back at history and randomly identifying anniversaries and such. In that light, I got the following quick email from a friend that I thought was interesting and needed to blog — “I saw Tommy Burelson at the Marist game Friday (March 16th) and told my friend not to forget that […]
ACCNow: ‘You tell me which had more passion?’
Our NC State vs Marist post-game entry is a fantastic one that is full of great current and historical comments. Click here to check it out. At the bottom of the entry we took the time to update some links to major media outlets that recapped the evening’s events. One of the links was to […]
Lowe: ‘NC State fans will be at their finest’
A subset of an entire new generation of NC State fans are going to get the opportunity to enjoy a taste of “the good old days” when NC State plays host to Marist on Friday night on Kay Yow Court in Reynolds Coliseum!! Of course…the real question becomes – does NC State roll out a […]
