Facing the Facts – BJD Writes Off 2007-08
I hate to say it, and it makes me mad as hell to do so. But 2007-08 must be written off as a “learning year” for Sidney Lowe. Despite being an ACC school with all the institutional infrastructure needed to win, NC State is employing yet another head coach who has to learn on the […]
Can One Quit If They Never Started? (The ‘Coming to Jesus’ Entry)
Pack Pride’s morning webrun this morning contains that reads “Webrun: Pack Players have Quit” The highlighted quote of the entry originates from 99.9’s Dan Mason’s tell-it-like-it-is blog entry: I never thought I’d be writing this.

Technician: Honeymoon is Over
We would like to link to Technician more often, but we limit ourselves with a focus on quality here and unfortunately the inexperienced, usually uninformed student perspective falls a little short of our standards.

Most ACC opponents weren’t dumb […]

(Isn’t it fun to say their […]
Goodman: ‘The Lowe Down’
Fox Sports’ Jeff Goodman blogged a quick piece on the 2007-2008 version of NC State Basketball. (Link) It’s no secret that the key for Sidney Lowe and the N.C. State Wolfpack next year will be point guard play. The title of the blog entry definitely does not fit the meat of the commentary since Sidney […]
Flashback Friday: ‘Sidney Lowe Should Be Sendek’s Choice’
A very loyal reader sent us a note to remind us of this old entry that we had penned on May 4th, 2005. At that point in time, Larry Hunter had just left Herb Sendek’s staff and fans were discussing alternatives for a potential replacement. In the entry, we propose one name to fill the […]
ESPN: What we learned in Tampa
I’m going to tease with Bomani Jones’ second lesson first before delving into the real meat of this piece. Here is that second lesson: “The nation should be glad NC State didn’t make the NCAAs.” Jones praises NC State and Sidney Lowe highly here:
