Haus, 46, compiled a 58-52 record in his eight years at UNC following two as head coach of Johns Hopkins, which went to the NCAA semifinals both seasons.”Obviously, we’re not at the level we would like to be,” UNC athletic director Dick Baddour said Tuesday. At the same time, Baddour made it clear that the […]

The State of State Part Three–Meet The Standards
“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 don’t want to be in the bottom-half of anything.. the bottom-half in any sport.†–Lee Fowler, PackPride.com, […]
The State of State Part Two–Improvement
Disclaimer: Only facts and statistics will be stated below, you the reader can draw your own conclusions and opinions.
Did NC State’s athletic programs make progress and do better this school year than they did last year? One metric (and certainly not the only one) is to look at regular season conference standings.
State competes in 21 different ACC sports plus gymnastics (EAGL) and rifle (SEARC & GARC). In the 2007-2008 school year, 6 out of those 23 programs finished higher in their conference standings than they did the year before, 11 finished worse and 6 maintained the same standing. All 12 ACC schools compete in the sport unless indicated.

NC State Only ACC School Penalized by APR
Last week’s report where the NCAA honored 712 different teams throughout the country laid the groundwork for today’s broad release of the NCAA’s Academic Progress Report that effectively takes a scholarship away from NC State’s wrestling program. You can access NC State’s specific report by clicking here. * NC State is the ONLY school in […]
Postseason Drought
Seems like it wasn’t so long ago that State’s football team punched America’s sweetheart in the mouth in the Gator Bowl (thanks Sean Berton), or that men’s basketball beat UConn at the buzzer to make the Sweet 16 or that Kay Yow led the Wolfpack Women to the Final Four.
But much like Falls Lake, State’s postseason appearances dried up this school year. While baseball is still in progress (and should make the NCAA tournament), the other three revenue programs failed to make a bowl game or the NCAA Tournament. That puts State in a category as one of five BCS schools to have that distinction.
Pack Nine Providing Hope For a Title (FINALLY!)
NC State has cracked the Top 20 in most national baseball rankings on the heels of sweeping Boston College this past weekend to advance to 30-13 overall and 15-8 in ACC. The Wolfpack’s relative regular success in the nation’s most difficult baseball conference provides NC State fans with a slight glimmer of hope that NC […]

The men’s teams at the two national powers(UNC & Kansas), which met in the Final Four earlier this month, were included among 712 Division I squads singled out by the NCAA for their solid academic […]
