Strange things are afoot at the Circle K (Friday Morning 10:30am Update)
Note – since a lot of you guys are dying to know what’s happening over in Brown-Weiseger and want to talk about it, why not use the SFN Chat Room? Click the link to go there now.
We’ve been hearing elevated ‘rumblings’ over the last week and those rumblings have reached a fevered pitch the last 48 hours. Talk to me, people.
From the file of “strange dates in history”:
- It was April 1st (2006) when this happened.
- April 2nd (today) is Lee Fowler’s birthday
- April 3rd (tomorrow) is the infamous JB34′s birthday
The following is some evolving analysis of unconfirmed developments and rumors as they are unfolding.
Friday Morning 10:30am Update:
Thursday Midnight Update:
- Rumors are making their way around NC State internet websites that Lee Fowler ‘is gone’.
- These rumors are lending there way to a wave of unconfirmed ‘details’ that are arising as follow-up.
- Included in the follow-up wave of rumor is that there was a special Board of Trustees meetings called tonight.
- At this point, SFN has yet to find any evidence of any kind of special BOT meeting tonight.
- The BOT has a scheduled meeting in two weeks.
- The BOT would only need to meet in special session if they were recommending/voting on some time-sensitive issue like a firing. But, IF Lee Fowler were to have tendered a resignation or plans to tender a resignation then these information leaks about him ‘being gone’ could still be true without there needing to have been a BOT meeting.
- SFN has heard from multiple sources in the last few weeks that Vanderbilt University, Fowler’s alma mater, is considering re-instituting a formal athletics program and that many at NC State would welcome the opportunity for Lazy Lee to run off to his home and ‘lead’ the Commodores new program.
- Additionally, members of the SFN team have experienced an unusually high volume of inquiry calls with ‘contacts’ within the NC State community this week. The general theme seems to be that ‘something is happening’ but nobody has the whole story.
- Some rumors circulating already include the potential naming of three specific replacements/additions to key roles within the Athletics Department and the Wolfpack Club. We don’t think that it is prudent or fair to float anyone’s name into the public domain so early in a process that is yet unconfirmed.
- There are many other yet-unconfirmed tangents of some things evolving within the Athletics Department but these tangential speculations can do nothing positive for NC State and don’t have a place in a public forum until more develops…IF more develops.
- In the absence of details, there are too many holes to attempt to fill-in the gaps with usubstantiated conjecture at this point.
My sole casual ‘interesting observation’ is as follows – it is kind of odd/interesting that the timing of this potential breaking news comes on the eve of the Final Four, which is also the nation’s largest coaching conference and is generally known as a job fair for coaches.
Wha? Whoa! Sorry, the rumbling was my stomach…
We could only be so lucky if it means something else!
I have no information but I whole-heartedly approve your Bill and Ted’s reference.
I had Moe’s for lunch and then Mexican tonight.
Don’t know about the Circle K, but my house is rockin right now.
wait what is this?
Do we know the specific subject matter yet? I don’t want to get too excited yet.
has uncle jed moved to beverly hills???
please please please
Ok, just saw the thread on PP. Had no idea these rumors were out there. Any confirmation?
“I’ll get you, and your little dog Toto, too, my pretty! Ha ha ha ha! HA, ha ha hahahahaha.
It’s April 2nd.
greatest night to be a Wolfpacker in years…what will we do without the show all summer…
How about ……. CHEER!
I’m dying to know what Lee Fowler could have done to cause the BOT to call an emergengy meeting and relieve him of his duties(As some on PP are saying).
After crapping the bed so massively on the coaching search and still keeping his job I really thought he had a lifetime contract. I just hope the actions that caused him to be fired didn’t cause irreversible harm to the university(like say, pissing off TOB)
HOLY GOD, PLEASE TELL ME . . . could we be so lucky? Are we worthy? OHMYGODCOULDITBE?????????
emergency meeting?????????????????really???
what website is PP?
http://www.packpride.com
REGular expression . . don’t even suggest such things. . you go wash your mouth otu this very instant.
Ohhh I need in on this …
my heart’s fluttering like a little hummingbird. . .i’ll stop posting now, but i’m excited. . please,please be real.
maybe this is a secret meeting to give fouler a raise……..
PP = Pack Pride, also known as the idiot boards for good reason. I’m not getting my hopes up yet until I see confirmation.
OK, who am I kidding, my hopes are sky high!!!
What is going on! Do tell. I need some sweet sweet dreams tonight.
If it’s not accurate it’s one hell of a fast spreading rumor – I just got an email from a UNC-Ch grad that said he had heard a rumor that would make my day – Fowler Out – he had no details though.
Chatter went through the roof today. From what I could triangulate, something was likely to happen tonight, but couldn’t nail down any details.
what’s the ‘mergency?
is it LF or SL?
BJD: Channeling Forrest Gump. Maybe…it’s both?
tune in, same BOT time, same BOT channel.
is there a plane we can track?
