Many In Wolfpack Nation Are Saying They’ve Had Enough
To say that Wolfpack Nation is seething mad tonight would be akin to calling the eruption of Mount St. Helen’s in 1980 a loud bang. It simply doesn’t begin to cover it. This is not about losing a game in the first round of the ACC Tournament, not even the fact that it is the […]
Lee Fowler’s Second Search For A Head Basketball Coach: How Will It Go?
NC State has recently opened a “nationwide search” for the coach to replace the late Kay Yow.  Apparently, this runs contrary to the final wishes of Coach Yow: she wanted assistant and interim head coach Stephanie Glance named as her successor and she made that clear to Lee Fowler long before her passing from cancer. […]
Welcome to the Death Spiral, Sid!
I am prepared to make it official – Sidney Lowe has entered the Death Spiral. What did he learn from yesterday’s meltdown? “I thought Javi played well,†Lowe said after Gonzalez scored nine points with six assists in a 91-87 overtime loss at Virginia Tech.

Today’s entry is a special submission from one of our long time contributors, SMD, and brings with it […]
What If Our Athletics Were Graded By State’s Academic Standards? (11am Update)
I’ll make this short and sweet and let you add in your thoughts in the comments: What if NC State’s athletics were graded and a GPA built using essentially the same standards that each student at NC State faces in their classes? I think that overall, the Athletics Department’s GPA would hover around a 1.0 […]
Fowler Speaks, ‘Feels good about program.’
99.9 FM Interview with Lee Fowler His first comment about basketball is that had Horner made the three-pointer he took with the Wolfpack up four with about 6:20 left, the game might have been different. Maybe. But then Fowler says it was back and forth the rest of the game. Hmmm. I seem to remember […]
Updated “State of the Program” Thoughts
OK, dark side – you win. Last night’s disastrous effort pushed me over the edge. Taking a cue from Sidney Lowe’s motivational techniques and substitution patterns, I will not order my thoughts logically and just throw crap against the wall to see what sticks: – Sidney Lowe has clearly lost this team, for the second […]
Dan Werner takes center stage
In our preview article focused on NC State’s HUGE trip to Gainesville today we opened the topic of Dan Werner. Instead of dominating that entry we thought that we would follow-up with more insight on the topic in this entry. Similarly, please try to keep the conversations here focused on this topic and don’t dominate […]
