For decades, NC State’s women’s program was the premiere program in the ACC. Then, about 20 ye
[See the full post at: Wolfpack women fall to Lady Tar heels]It seems that she is using the tried and true “cancer defense” that was used successfully for years by Lance Armstrong. Anytime someone asks a hard question about you bring up all the good you have done in the cancer fight and act as if the person doing the questioning is against fighting cancer because they are asking you tough questions.
*As an aside, Lance Armstrong’s foundation did virtually nothing on the cancer fight and it was all a front for publicity for him. So it was a complete sham just like he was…and just like UNC-Cheat is.
It appears they can have it both ways. Either they knew, which is cheating, or they didn’t know which is LOIC. Unless the NCAA is going to completely surprise me I fully expect nothing more to happen.

Now that we’re off on that tangent, to be fair, fighting cancer was never the mission of the Livestrong Foundation. The Livestrong Foundation states that its mission is ‘to inspire and empower’ cancer survivors and their families. The foundation also aims to provide support to guide people through the cancer experience. As of 2005, the foundation began phasing out its support of cancer research, and as of 2010, it no longer accepted research proposals.
I’m not defending Lance in any way, but let’s stick to the facts.
As for Sylvia, I see she’s perfected the art of the “Did I mention I have cancer?” bob and weave.

Not true. Whether it was stated in the Livestrong mission or not it was definitely implied and verbally stated by Lance Armstrong during the time frame of his rise in popularity.

It does now.
As of 2005, the foundation began phasing out its support of cancer research, and as of 2010, it no longer accepted research proposals.His title run was from 1999-2005. During the height of his winning he used this as a platform for bigger publicity. And hid behind it when facing tough questions. They did not readily publicize that they did little to no research until the whole thing blew up on them. Many donations were made to this “charity” thinking that they were going to cancer research.

That was my point the whole time. Lance hid behind his cancer, just like it seems that she is doing.
Young team, with not much size to match up against the taller competition, but nevertheless had a good showing in the Hill, considering they are a top 10 team. Hopefully we continue to improve and find a remedy to offset the size issue. Maybe we can get them back in Reynolds. Go Pack!
I don’t have any concern about the future of the Wolfpack women’s program. Wes Moore and his staff breed more confidence in me than I could imagine. Moore is a stud who will absolutely make it happpen.
