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 […]

Media Watch: The Pulse Of The Wolfpack Fanbase; CNNSi Cheerleader of the Week
A couple of interesting things in the media for you: Dessert before dinner: we don’t often talk about the cheerleading or dance squad teams here at SFN, but these folks work hard to represent NC State well, and in the case of the cheerleading team, are former national champions. In short, there’s a lot more […]
BJD’s Revised and Extended 1/4/09 Basketball Program Thoughts
After yesterday’s predictable, yet still somehow heartbreaking loss to Florida, all that remains is ACC play (barring a shocking loss to NC Central, which is currently 0-16 and 347th out of 347 teams in the Sagarin ratings). Here is a run down of what we do and don’t know: 1) NC State will compete with, […]
BJD’s Basketball Program Thoughts (UPDATE: Confirmed – Ferguson Out 3-6 Weeks)
First, stop watching this team as if had (or has) a chance to be good. It doesn’t. Whatever long-shot chance NC State ever had went down the drain when we first saw Farnold’s knee in action (he simply can’t cut on it playing defense). Keep in mind that our best guard, by far, is Trevor […]
ORLY? (Updated @ 1:20pm)
This sort of thing drives me crazy: unsubstantiated speculation that is 100% paradoxical to reality. From a (supposed) ‘professional journalist’: Fox/Goodman: 65 Things to Watch For This College Season Three ACC coaches — Maryland’s Gary Williams, N.C. State’s Sidney Lowe and Florida State’s Leonard Hamilton — are feeling a little heat to win. My guess […]
Coach Lowe’s Quote of the Day
“There’s only one voice, and that’s my voice,” Lowe said. “… It’s my way. And our guys understand that”……”I can assure you, we will never have that situation again,” Lowe said. “They’re going to accept their roles, and I think our guys know that. And if they don’t, they won’t play.” – NC State Head […]
Hickson turning heads early
J.J. Hickson got off to a quick start last night in his first summer league game: LAS VEGAS –Cleveland Cavaliers assistant John Kuester was on a roll Monday, thinking up new ways to praise rookie J.J. Hickson. “We’re talking about an N.C. State guy, and I’m still saying nice things,†former Tar Heel Kuester joked. […]
Two Coach Lowe Interviews (Updated 10pm ET): ‘Not that I can discuss at this point’
Interview with 850TheBuzz Interview with the media The real story of the day may come from what was not said in Coach Lowe’s time with the media: Q: Any other personnel changes? A: Not that I can discuss at this point. Q: Not just the players, but any other staff changes? A: Not that I […]
Fayetteville Observer – Critical Offseason for Lowe
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the “slow season.” As we wait for the NBA and NHL playoffs to die their slow, agonizing death and count the days until NFL training camp opens (i.e., when sports is legitimately “in session” again), there isn’t much to talk about. This morning, Dan Wiederer outlines some questions facing the […]
More “Coach Fowler” Wisdom
Fowler’s talking to Tim Peeler on gopack.com, so you knew that some unintended hilarity would ensue. Although there are actually some good points in the article (SFN heartily welcomes the promised changes in the basketball office), we can’t resist commenting on this nugget: “Regarding basketball, when I was an assistant coach at the University of […]
