I fear the day that I am going to have to search our archives for the following quote from today’s Charlotte Observer in regards to the UNC-Nevada game last night.

Quotes of Note
Thank You, Mr. Tudor: Great State Fans
“N.C. State’s fans are among the most patient and loyal in all of college athletics.” That hardly qualifies as breaking news, but it’s worth repeating in the wake of a couple of issues — fans leaving early and the coach’s frank comments.” As we’ve said many times in the past…when Caulton Tudor gets something right, […]

Kay Yow, inspiration
I’m embarrassed to admit, but I write this post in shock and sadness.

The hall-of-fame legend who once coached the Olympic women’s team is at […]
