I will be honest here – I am so inured to the culture of corruption, and Monty Python’s Black Knight caliber of willful and idiotic denial…I didn’t think anything UNC scandal related could shock me anymore. Then I read this, and you should as well: Prepare to be disgusted. Horrific doesn’t even begin to describe [...]
It’s a trap!
Things have been pretty serious around here for a while…and, we don’t want to run the risk of “Yow Fatigue”. So, I wanted to hit the blog tonight with some summer comic relief. If you haven’t followed the death of Colonel Reb at Ole Miss, then you most definitely have missed the movement to replace [...]
Looking at Yow’s legacy from the other side
There has been plenty of discussion about Debbie Yow’s arrival at NC State and what she plans and hopes to do with the NC State athletic program. There hasn’t, however, been much intelligent discussion of Yow’s legacy at Maryland after 16 years of service. Of course there has been the generic message board “response” from [...]
Yow makes good first impression
Debbie Yow made her first remarks as NC State’s director of athletics Friday a little after 2, and from initial reaction most people were quite pleased with what they heard. The straight talking Yow talked openly about her goals for NC State athletics and did not mince words about those goals being accomplished. She talked [...]
My View: Dr. Debbie Yow Is Experienced And Successful
On May 5th, shortly after it was announced that Lee Fowler was leaving NC State I wrote a lengthy list of my idea of the requirements of who would have the best chance of success leading NC State’s athletics into the 2010 decade: In short, State should hire someone who meets this basic set of requirements. Quickly, [...]
Yow: I Would Rather Win Than Be Popular
Yow’s press conference has just ended. We wanted to open this entry so everyone could post their thoughts.
ACC Media Takes on Yow Hire
This is great stuff. This is fantastic stuff. Hopefully because of my relationship with Debbie Yow over the last decade plus, I have a more detailed perspective than just about anybody in the media down here. I think it’s an absolutely, positively, overwelmingly great hire for NC State. You are talking about one of the [...]
Debbie Yow to be named NC State AD Friday
10:00 PM UPDATE WRAL is now confirming that Debbie Yow will become NC State’s next AD. ORIGINAL POST About four hours ago we hit our message forums and Twitter account guiding you that something was breaking in the search for NC State’s Athletics Director. Around 8:25 pm this evening, the N&O’s Joe Giglio posted a [...]
So wait, is Russell Wilson coming back?
I understand Russell Wilson’s decision on how to proceed with his future is hugely important to the 2010 football team, but this has almost gotten laughable. How many times — and ways — will both Wilson and Tom O’Brien have to talk about his plans in the fall? How many different ways can they both [...]
Sit in the ‘dougout’ to watch ‘Wolpfack’ battle ‘Cincinatti’? [Updated 7:35pm]
Will the embarrassments ever end for almost all things related to NC State University’s Sports Information Department and Wolfpack Sports Marketing? In case you missed what has become the most viewed entry of 2010 on SFN then you need to take yourself back to this link. (Hat tip to the folks at Deadspin for originally [...]
