On Tuesday, April 11, 2006, the Fayetteville Oberver ran a story that inlcuded the following quote that we failed to highlight at the time. It deserves attention and we wanted to chronicle the quote: “Everybody comes out and says, ‘You’re Carolina’s and Duke’s little brother and you can’t compete with those guys.’ Ya know what? […]

Vitale: State Needs Enthusiam The Way it Used to Be
“N.C. State has to look for someone who has charisma, someone who can get that energy back. [Former coach] Herb Sendek was a terrific X-and-O guy and did a good job doing what he was supposed to do, but State needs someone who can get that enthusiasm back to the way it used to be.” […]
Billy Packer Kicks Ass
It is no secret that Billy Packer is a personality that attracts a lot of opinion and controversy amongst fans. Our most recent Packer-related conversation can be found by clicking here. But tonight, you can officially throw out almost all of your Packer criticisms. Tonight, Billy Packer enters the StateFansNation Hall of Fame (at least […]
Evtimov: Sendek Supporters “Idiots�
Here is a quote that I haven’t seen anywhere but here. Sunday, March 19, 2006’s Charlotte Observer included a side panel for the “NCAA at Dallas” written by staff writer, David Scott. In the side panel, the Charlotte Observer included the following: “I’m sorry, but I would have to call them an idiot” * NC […]
Fowler Jumps The Shark
“I don’t think Mike Krzyzewski is liked by all Duke fans,” Fowler said. Holy mother of pearl. The man’s finally lost it. Duke fans who don’t like Coach K? Where, precisely, are those people? Are they in the same magic box with the “moderate Arabs,” low-maintenance girls who use coke, and dignified leisure suits? I’ve […]
CLT OBS Headline Writer Struggles with Common Sense
The headline of today’s Meineke Car Care Bowl section of the Charlotte Observer reads: “Sales slow for Pack and…who?” Link Look at that again. “SLOW” ticket sales. SLOW ticket sales “for (the) Pack”. Oh my God. Is this a joke that missed the mark? Talk about living up to the stereotype of being out of […]

Mission Accomplished: Fowler’s Name in Lights!! (…again)
I couldn’t help but chuckle. (No pun intended). Actually, “chuckle” is an incorrect representation of the amusement I received Friday when a friend from Raleigh emailed Lee Fowler’s open letter to fans to my Blackberry. I almost wrecked as I tried to park my vehicle. (By the way…How long did that take? Seriously….did Fowler have […]
Two Perspectives on Thursday’s Crowd
Not to beat a dead horse, but Lee Fowler’s open letter was ridiculous both substantively and procedurally. From a substantive standpoint, it’s pure blather. Mr. “I know basketball, and football too, I guess” points to football facilities that “we might not even have” if not for Chuck Amato. As a friend pointed out, most of […]
