The Wolfpack took 2 of 3 on the diamond from Carolina this weekend. That is always nice. We’re going to have some good stuff this week related to State & Carolina, as well some insight into the assistant basketball coaching position and discussions on the ever-evolving 2005 football schedule. In the meantime…I’ve gathered a couple […]
Tudor: Sendek’s Next Goal
“A first-division ACC finish seems likely next season (2005-2006). Sendek’s next goal is to make the jump into serious ACC contention, which would mean becoming a serious national contender.” — Caulton Tudor News & Observer April 30, 2005 ===> Only took a decade to make serious ACC contention and a national conteder a goal for […]
Hunter Gone, Who’s Going To Be Hired?
With Larry Hunter’s departure now more certain (apparently it will be announced today) than it was yesterday, I wonder who will be his replacement? On first blush, Archie Miller seems like the lead choice. If not, why would Archie leave an assistant’s job at Western Kentucky to come back to NCSU as director of operations? […]

Mestas: Sendek is ‘Strictly Business’
“He demands a lot. Nobody’s going to slack off, that’s for sure. Not everybody’s going to like him. I don’t want to say he’s a mean guy, but he could show up in the morning without saying hi to his secretary. He goes straight to work, and that’s why he wins. He’s strictly business.” Miami […]
Tudor: Good QB = Good Record
“The Wolfpack will be good, just as it was a year ago. But good doesn’t always mean successful. A good Wolfpack team in ’04 finished 5-6 because the offensive line was hurt and lean and the quarterbacks were not good enough to overcome that one problem.
