You can refresh a little by reading this quick piece… UNC’s top scorer P.J. Hairston charged with possession of marijuana (USAToday.com) According to [...]
Yow receives deserved contract extension
I must say that it is refreshing to see that the same NC State Board of Trustees who embarrassingly chose to retain Lee Fowler for an entire decade has learned a few things in recent years and have figured out how to reward people who actually deserve support. It was announced on Friday that Debbie [...]
Proud NC State experience
I just wanted to take a quick moment to share a personal experience that I had on Monday morning at the annual “Breakfast of Champions” for the Boys and Girls Club of Raleigh at the Raleigh Convention Center. As always, this was a ‘first class’ event and served as a great opportunity to support one [...]
Gottfried Now Living the Dream
When Mark Gottfried was introduced as the new head man for NC State Basketball eighteen months ago, it’s probably a fair statement that all of us who have followed the Wolfpack for any considerable length of time were at least slightly underwhelmed, even if we were guardedly optimistic. As Luke DeCock (N&O) reminds us today, [...]
Vote For Ms. Wuf (aka, Current Admin. Gets It)
I received this email (quoted below) from the athletics department a little while ago, and wanted to share it here.

N&O features Yow & her novel approach of accountability
It was a good weekend for NC State in the local media. The headline in Saturday’s morning’s News & Observer proclaimed that academic fraud was found at UNC-Chapel Hill (shocker!) and the feature story of Sunday’s sports section was, “Yow’s challenge: Put N.C. State athletic department on top” (Link). After taking over as athletic director [...]

NC State, the Rejected Stone
So I have a personal blog called “RejectedStones” that is primarily a Christian devotional site. On Twitter I received a few messages from Alex Johnson who has been a supporter of my site since before he arrived in Raleigh. Naturally, this got me thinking about both my blog and our basketball team. Something then dawned [...]
Yow on Expansion
WRAL: N.C. State however never had a shot at the SEC according to Yow. “We’re not a part of that conversation. As a founding member of the ACC I can’t envision being anything else. Our focus needs to be doing our part as one athletic program to strengthen overall, the ACC.” Yow then put it [...]
