Thursday, March 10, 2011. The last whistlestop on the Sidney Lowe farewell tour was Greensboro, where Gary Williams continued to bat 1.000 against Lowe. In a game that was nothing short of frightening aesthetically, your final score is Maryland 75, NC State 67. Your final record is 15-16. The game was a microcosm of the […]

Local media rushes to defend NC State against national hacks
Many props to long-time ACC sportswriters Al Featherson and Brett Friedlander for their latest columns that will be linked towards the end of this entry Also, our local radio guys like Dave Glenn, Joe Ovies, and Adam Gold have defended us all week as well. Maybe from now on the hosts won’t waste time on […]
My Personal Vision For an Orderly and Civilized Transition
I don’t think it will surprise anyone to hear that Sidney Lowe’s 5th season coaching the North Carolina State Wolfpack will be his last. I honestly don’t think anyone with an IQ above room temperature would dispute that statement. Ordinarily, there would be lots of fire and brimstone when a coach is clearly in the […]
CJ Leslie Suspended
N.C. State freshman C.J. Leslie has been suspended indefinitely for breaking an unspecified team rule. Leslie, the Wolfpack’s leading rebounder, will miss today’s game at Duke. N&O Article
P.S. – Basketball Team Lost Again
Not that it will surprise any of you, any more than it did the subdued crowd in Raleigh. The Hokies lead pretty much from start to finish, and close out a 77-69. Here’s the ESPN recap, if interested in a few of the sorry details. Like most of you, I’m much more interested in coaching […]
Debbie Yow is watching, waiting
The News & Observer has this article today that comes on the heels of Debbie Yow’s local radio appearance earlier in the week. This link is most definitely a pre-requisite to today’s article as the two entries fit together like hand and glove. In her first year as N.C. State’s athletic director, she’s focused on […]

She reiterated that she would review Coach Lowe’s job status at the conclusion of the basketball season. You can hear the entire […]
Happy New Year! After a Surprisingly Good Wolfpack 2010
Well, we only have about 5 hours left in 2010, at least in NC State’s (and my) home time zone. This isn’t going to be a long “recap” post, but I do think we should spend a few moments reflecting on the first steps we took towards ending our 2+ decades of wandering in the […]
0–4 Out of Conference puts Pack in a bind
In the previous four years of Sidney Lowe’s guidance, NC State’s Basketball team has proven an ability to win tough out of conference games whether played in the RBC Center or on the road – Villanova, Cincinnati, Davidson, Seton Hall, Marquette, others. Unfortunately…that didn’t happen for the Wolfpack this year and we now find ourselves […]
Coach Lowe delivers one of nation’s toughest OOC basketball schedules
Back when NC State’s basketball schedule was originally released, I noticed some fans referencing/complaining about the out of conference schedule. Making a subjective observation in a vacuum without comparing the relative strength of the schedule just doesn’t add up. Who am I (or an fan) to boldly proclaim the magnitude of strength or weakness of […]
