On December 12, 2005, Lee Fowler took to the radio airwaves (I know…I know….that is a big shock) and made some comments about his thoughts on the 2005-2006 NC State Basketball season. Since Lee Fowler “knows basketball”, then I think that we should take a quick look at what Fowler thought could be achieved this […]

“Barnes likely sees NC State as Clemson”
Wow. Right when I think that Pack Pride couldn’t get any worse, they do. The agenda and the craziness over there is so bad that old JB34 committed internet suicide this weekend. (I didn’t want to be too tempted to burn the place down after Rick Barnes beat the hell out of our program). Today, […]

Vitale: Could be a Great Moment for Sendek and State
Dick Vitale screamed the praises of Herb Sendek and NC State on ESPN’s Sportscenter this morning. He went so far as to comment that NC State could pull the upset, especially if Cedric Simmons plays well, and that “this could be a great moment for Herb Sendek and NC State.” This is exciting build up […]
Tudor’s Value circa 1983 Tidbit
This link from the N&O’s ACC Now Blog underscores my beliefs that Tudor is one of the #1 ACC Historian’s living today. Very neat stuff, IMHO: DAYTON, Ohio — George Mason coach Jim Larranaga was hit with perhaps the most famous technical foul in ACC history. It happened during the 1983 conference championship between N.C. […]
Technician: If Sendek Loses He Should Be Fired
In a poorly written editorial Technician says that Sendek should resign or be fired. When will people understand that this isn’t about one game? It isn’t about the losses to Wake Forest or the win against UConn last year. Herb isn’t a better/worse coach because he beat GW or lost twice to Wake. The big […]
Sendek: “Complete Body of Work”
I told you about the new buzz phrase earlier in the week. I honestly don’t know why anyone spends the time interviewing him when everything is exactly the same: “I’m much more inclined to put my finger on all the things that have gone well and not continue to dwell on those last couple of […]
63 Greatest Games in NCAA Tournament History
Each March, the air becomes full of lists, “look backs” and NCAA nostalgia. Last year we highlighted that NC State dominates one writer’s All-Time Comeback List. This year, we add to the mix NC State’s presence in the 63 Greatest Tournament Games ever played with 3 of the top 34 games. One game that I […]
Lavin: Don’t Lose in the First Round
“You don’t want to lose in the first round at UCLA because your whole offseason is miserable. Talk Radio. Letters to the editor. Wooo!” Former UCLA Head Basketball Coach, Steve Lavin on ESPN Television talking about the standards of the great programs. Related Kentucky quotes here. Similar Carolina quotes here. Lavin was 5-1 in first […]
“Five Straight NCAA Tournaments”
“Five consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances” You hear it all the time. This^ factoid has become this year’s primary and almost exclusive battle-cry of the Herb Sendek Sunshine Squad. It is the foreward written for the 2006 edition of the HSSS Handbook. It is everywhere. You cannot hide from it. And, it is quite an accomplishment…isn’t […]
