The Lee Fowler Era: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly – Part 2 (The Bad)
Now that June 30, 2010 has come and gone, North Carolina State has officially parted ways with its athletic director of the past 10 years, Lee Fowler. The past 10 years have been wrought with many more downs than ups, but we want to take some time to look back at the entire Lee Fowler [...]

19. November 2009
NC State is currently tied for the worst record in the Atlantic Coast Conference football season as the program heads towards its longest consecutive streak of non-winning seasons since the 1950s. The Wolfpack has been picked to finish 12th out of 12 teams from almost every imaginable source for the upcoming basketball season continuing a [...]

15. November 2009
Raleigh, NC – Dear Wolfpack Fans: I know this is a time of great frustration and disappointment for all of you who care deeply and passionately about Wolfpack football. As Athletic Director, I can say that we all feel badly about losing–our coaches, our players and our staff, as well as our thousands of fans. [...]

19. September 2009
A few weeks ago we discussed UNC Football’s sudden and previously unexplained bout with Stunted Growth Syndrome. If you didn’t get a chance to read it, please take time to do so. The links are summarized, but the meat of the stories linked are quite informative beyond the blurbs. Essentially for the last three years [...]

An old video with some old faces…granted the story for some of folks in this video didn’t have happy endings, but this was certainly some happy times. See you at the game tonight!

29. July 2009
This is Part II of a five-part series that is by no means intended to be authoritative. Rather, it’s nothing more than an incomplete, inconclusive, sometimes erroneous, while always biased retrospective of recent State football history. Part of this was based on nothing more than my attempt to answer the question so many of us [...]

30. March 2009
One of the more heralded football recruits in recent memory to make their way to West Raleigh is certainly Toney Baker. The Jamestown, NC player was a consensus All-American, and it was the Army All-Star game on national television that Toney did the hat dance where he ultimately donned the red and white cap with [...]

23. November 2008
It was the sweetest of days Saturday for Wolfpack fans: a State team whomping on UNC at will, Carolina fans heading back to their cars and the good ole “Wolf” “Pack” cheers rattling off of the aluminum seats that the so-called best fanbase in the country left behind. Basically State ran Carolina off of their [...]

29. October 2008
At the risk of over-stating the obvious – next year is a very important year for the NC State Football program and every single leader with any type of influence over the direction of the football program. Unless the Wolfpack can string together four consecutive wins to close out the 2008 season, the program is [...]

16. October 2008
Tomahawk Nation’s rather unflattering prediction Florida State will stifle NC State’s offense. Wilson will get a few decent scrambles as we lose contain , and maybe a big pass or two. For the most part, though, we will force them into negative and low percentage plays, while constantly hitting the untalented NC State players. Everette [...]

11. October 2008
Former N.C. State football coach Chuck Amato said Friday he doesn’t hold any grudges toward the Wolfpack, but admits that his return to Raleigh on Thursday will be an emotional one. In the article, Amato also said that he and legendary coach Bill Parcells had a conversation about The Chest’s days on the Wolfpack sideline: [...]

Remember when Chuck Amato’s initial “million dollar staff” was big news? Seems a bit modest in 2008 – see more info here.

7. May 2008
I love this kind of stuff. I love looking back and reviewing issues with some hindsight and holding people accountable to their words. Tip of the hat to the N&O for their insightful use of yesterday’s APR announcement. Given the scholarship penalties handed out by the NCAA on Tuesday, Chuck Amato was a man ahead [...]

19. October 2007
Harsh, but spot-on. The source is really surprising, but apparently nobody in the Triangle market had the stones to call it like it is. One simply indisputable fact about N.C. State football became obvious this week. After spending the team’s bye week giving the third team (mainly expected-redshirt freshman, low-value scholarship athletes and walk-ons) as [...]

6. October 2007
Well I was wrong…FSU wasn’t concerned enough with State to modify their offense at all. The bright points were few….but there were a few nice surprises. - Jamelle Eugene: 14 carries for 101 yards against the nation’s 10th best rushing defense (which is only good enough for third place in the conference). - The State [...]

6. October 2007
Gameday. NC State vs FSU. We will update this later in the day. Great slate of college football games today. We found some quotes from Amato that didn’t make it into various media articles this week. Q: Do you still love the school? A: “Yeah. I have nothing against the school. I’m not a vindictive [...]

2. October 2007
“I love those kids up at North Carolina State,” Amato said Monday at FSU’s weekly press conference. “If I had one wish, it would be to meet them somewhere Friday night so I could hug every one of their necks.” The Wolfpack, 3-9 in Amato’s final season, is 1-4 in Tom O’Brien’s first year as [...]
