On a blog entry on Buster Sports, author Dave Nathan has discovered what he believes to be the three worst college football and basketball teams from 2006 to 2009. There are three BCS schools that have had 3 straight losing seasons in football while also missing the NCAA men’s basketball tournament. Of course, [...]

Ladies & Gentlemen, Lee Fowler is going to be a guest on 850TheBuzz tomorrow (Thursday) morning at 8am. The good men at 850 have suggested that we ask our readers for questions to pose to our fearless ‘leader’ as opposed to only taking calls from the same old group of listeners. With this said, we are asking [...]

(Wake Forest Athletics Director Ron) Wellman will soon complete his 17th year as the director of athletics at Wake Forest University. The university’s teams have flourished under him, winning conference and national championships while generally exceeding expectations for the smallest school in the Atlantic Coast Conference and one of the smallest to play major-college football. Welcome [...]

Thanks, Terry! “both of you (Lee Fowler and Dick Baddour) have been extremely cooperative in helping us in ways that have given ECU Athletics an opportunity to stand on its own” This whole pissing match between the embarrassment that is Lee Fowler and the AD too-good-for-his-current school (Terry Holland) is too ridiculous for words. Since our great conversation [...]

As much as we enjoyed the ironic twists in Lee Fowler’s comments today (highlighted here), we also knew that Terry Holland wasn’t just going to sit back and let Fowler get away with it. Earlier in the day I actually got an email from a buddy at NC State saying the following: “What is Lee Fowler [...]

Q: What are the important items that require time and effort of men that run $50 million businesses in 2008? A: Calling into radio stations to discuss “cougars” in mock drafts, of course!! As you will see and hear by clicking to 850TheBuzz’s blog entry, the esteemed leader of NC State’s Athletics Department took the time and [...]

In previous entries, several commenters had expressed an interest in some historical statistics for comparison purposes. Below are some conference title and winning percentage stats over the last 22 years for the past five Athletic Directors at NC State.

After failed attempts to garner some kind of notable success by a couple of NC State’s non-revenue sports fell flat this week (men’s golf and women’s softball), NC State’s Baseball team remains as the last primary opportunity for Lee Fowler’s athletics department to do something special and win a “major” ACC Championship. It is something that [...]

“This is the adult equivalent of when ALL the kids got a ribbon in PE” – Friend of SFN We do not want to take away from the important entry below, but we wanted to chronicle this dumbfounding news as reported at gopack.com. Maybe it isn’t so dumbfounding, afterall. Lee Fowler would represent EXACTLY what James Oblinger would [...]

Sit back and get dedicated for a moment. You can’t skim this entry. You can’t loaf through this one. This is one of those to which your mind must be committed to absorbing and investing the time to read the links and the text.

I won’t make this long because it hurts my head too much to type. When Lee Fowler wanted to earn political favor with the more respected and poweful Terry Holland Fowler foolishly scheduled a road game for the NC State Basketball program in Greenville – where: (1) NO other NC State basketball team had ever stooped to [...]

Have you seen this? (And people criticize NC State fans for being crazy?) As an NC State fan, I firmly share the educated perspective that Todd Turner will forever be one of the two men MOST responsible for the destruction of NC State athletics in the 1990s that has contributed to a long-term deterioriation of our program [...]

We’ve all seen (as VaWolf82 summarized) numerous examples of Lee Fowler making thoughtless and insulting statements about the people who, in the aggregate, pay his salary. Fans unhappy with the 8-38 Periclean Age of Herb Sendek, for instance, were a “lunatic fringe” consisting of “50 people on the Internet.” Just yesterday, when asked to name the [...]

This entry originally ran on SFN on April 11, 2006 at 10:23pm Jerry Ratcliffe, Sports Editor, The Daily Progress. “A wise, old AD once told me, any athletic director worth his salt always carries around a short list of coaching candidates (for football and basketball), just in case something happens.”
