It is a real shame that Sidney Lowe’s first team is as limited as it is. Otherwise, you’d be hearing a lot more about “when Sidney was in school”. (Just wait until next year when every event during the season mark’s the 25th anniversary of the Wolfpack’s miracle run.) Today, Dan Wiederer of the Fayetteville […]
Quotes of Note
N&O: ‘Pure & Simple, They Tried’
We obviously re-hash and analysis Wolfpack athletics at an extremely granular level. That is the nature of our existence. Therefore, it is always nice when a succinct quote can express so much accuracy. After our game-comments last night and post-game comments here, we thought that the N&O’s blog deserved a tip-of-the-hat (TOTH) for astute comments […]
High Praise for TOB
Trev Alberts is no longer on the Vick Network (explanation link here), but that doesn’t mean that he no longer analyzes college football. In this piece on CSTV, Alberts followed up some of his previous praise for NC State Head Football Coach, Tom O’Brien with some big compliments. A reader wrote to Alberts, “I think […]
Lowe: Duke was Aggressive
Sidney Lowe and Monte Towe did not like the officiating on Saturday. It was obvious throughout the afternoon by their reactions to things on the bench. Of course, officiating had nothing to do with Saturday’s result…but, who says that it won’t be important in the future? In short, I liked what I saw from the […]
Duke Game Entry
I’ll be traveling for the Duke game, so I encourage any of the authors who are around on Saturday to add previews and reviews of Saturday’s game. However, before we get going we have to highlight Sidney Lowe‘s perfect comments today from the N&O: RALEIGH — It’s probably safe to say you’ll never hear N.C. […]
Jim Valvano’s Room of Dreams
Found linked at PackPride, this video is inspirational. It’s awesome. (And you’ll also see future Wolfpack head coach Sidney Lowe and assistant coach Monty Towe in there.) Dreams come true at NC State. Dreams become reality at NC State. Are you a dreamer? Do you have dreams that you can make come true? Can you […]
David Thompson Gives Team Postgame Talk
This article is just great to read! (Additionally, you will enjoy this related piece regarding DT.) Lowe, who starred on State’s 1983 NCAA champs, invited Thompson into the locker room after the game for a few words. “The other night, I talked to the guys about the tradition of our school,” Lowe said. “After the […]
TOB: “The Goal is Always to win a National Championship”
Nice! Nothing ambiguous and immeasureable about “being competitive” or “improving” or “building great relationships”. We don’t mind if all of ^these items are a part of the mix and are discussed in the future…but, TOB laid the public groundwork for his program perfectly with this quote. “I think the goal is always to win a […]
Murphy: “The consultant did the work”
Love it. Read into it what you will…but Murphy’s comments are pretty spot on. This is from ACC Sports Journal’s website: “(The NCSU football search) was done professionally, and it was done quietly. The consultant did the work, Lee (Fowler) kept it quiet, and no one was tracking my airplane on the internet. … I […]
Q&A With Sidney Lowe
On the eve/morning (depeding on when you read this) of Sidney Lowe’s first ACC game in the RBC Center the ACC.com shares with us a “Q&A with Sidney Lowe“: Q: What is it like to be back at NC State? It means everything to me. This is my home. I love NC State; I’ve always […]
