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 [...]
O’Brien’s program making more waves (Update 12:30pm)
Let’s turn to something good for a moment, shall we? On the heels of this fantastic “State of Football” entry that may have gotten lost in the recent administrative news coming out of Raleigh we’ve decided to focus a little more on some football! There is no doubt that The Sporting News and Matt Hayes [...]
You thought we had bad attrition? or, Todd Turner is not a sports handicapper
As we highlighted in this entry last week, injuries and attrition have been a major topic in WolfpackNation over the last couple of years. Our numbers are not a pretty sight; but, we’ve surprisingly found another program that has had it worse. Of course, that program has fired their coach (who will stay on until [...]
We’re #56!!! NCSU finishes 53rd of 66 BCS Schools (must be the ‘fuhcilities’)
The final ‘all-sports’ intercollegiate Directors Cup for 2007-2008 has been released and is accessible by clicking here. (Looks like Lee Fowler’s second embarrassment in one day.) NC State didn’t obtain extra credit for our great ‘fuhcilities’ or our fantastic fans and therefore finished the year ranked 56th in the country and next to last in [...]

Another chance for baseball to deliver
Last week we ran a great entry highlighting the NC State Baseball program’s opportunity to deliver a much needed ACC Championship in a major sport. (If you missed the entry then you are not allowed to read further until you go read it). Coach Avent failed to win his first ACC Championship in twelve years [...]
Lee Fowler’s Idea of Improvement
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 [...]
Toddy Turner Fired Again (call it a resignation if you want)
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 [...]
Huskies Claim a National Title
A slight diversion for you. Check out the fascinating way – the ONLY way – that a Todd Turner Athletics Department could ever claim a national championship. The Washington Huskies are staking their claim to the 1960 National Championship. The Huskies – who beat #1 Minnesota in the Orange Bowl – were not declared champions [...]
