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 […]
Tradition
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 […]

First, Brett Jensen went from being a below-average hack to a superstar in this awesome piece about NC State’s Athletics Administration. (SFN feels like that piece got lost in the shuffle over the weekend so we encourage you […]

Evans @ QB and Brown @ TB
An Evans and Brown in the same NC State backfield. Sound familiar? (This is a chance for all of your old-schoolers to reminisce a bit). I have send out major credit to SFN community member, ‘Stormin Norman’ for this observation and general call about Evans/Brown. Before LAST SEASON Stormin was preaching to me that Daniel […]
