Back in May of 2008 I posted an entry based on these two quotes from Lee Fowler: “My goals have always been to be in the top three in the conference. If you’re in the top three you always have a chance to win the championship. That’s an obvious goal as well. Minimum goals, we […]

NC State vs NCAA Tournament teams
Now that the season is over, and Duke has won the national championship for 2010, we can fully take stock of the Wolfpack basketball team and see how well they performed against NCAA Tournament teams. As many of us know, this year’s team was 7-7 against NCAA Tournament teams.

How Weak is the ACC?
There has been a lot of discussion (going back to last April) about how the ACC would be “down†this year. I even saw one comment this season proclaiming that this year was the weakest ACC in memory. So I thought it would be worth the time to put a little perspective on conference rankings […]
Mid-Season ACC Review
As we reach the mid-point of the regular season and move into conference play, I thought it would be interesting to take a little time and look at what has been accomplished thus far in the season. So here is a summary of State’s season to date: RPI Rank – 96 OOC SOS Rank – […]
The Relevancy of Irrelevancy – Is Lack Of Athletic Success Limiting The University?
Some of the comments on the recent Monday Morning entry got me to thinking about the possible effects of our lack of athletic success on the university as a whole. I have to believe that athletics is a big component of the marketing and identity of a university (and you can make a fair case […]
