Lee’s Last Shot at an ACCeptable Achievement?
Since the beginning of the 1992-1993 athletics season, NC State University is the only full-time BCS affiliated institution that has failed to win single conference championship in football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball or baseball. Today marks the start of the 57th Atlantic Coast Conference Basketball Tournament, and perhaps the last of almost 57 attempts for a [...]

Lightning struck NC State’s Memorial Belltower this week. (Link) With graduation two days away, N.C. State University is scrambling to fix the crown on a campus jewel. It’s bringing in a platform lift to hoist a 1,500-pound hunk of granite back into place atop the bell tower after a bolt of lightning knocked it loose. The [...]

Last year NC State institued a poorly crafted “tailgating policy” that we described as “the worst kind of administrative nonsense – a solution in search of a problem.” We discussed it in this entry that definitely deserves your time.
