BJD95’s Wolfpack Club Resignation Letter
To follow up on my late October rant, I have indeed put my money where my mouth is. Here’s my letter, with private stuff I don’t want on the internet carved out: January 19, 2010 NC State Student Aid Association PO Box 37100 Raleigh, North Carolina 27627-7100 RE: Cancellation of Wolfpack Club Membership Membership #******/Ticket #***** Dear Sir or Madam: At [...]

The above is, of course, a famous quote by Dr. Timothy Leary. Leary was a 1960s counter-culture icon who promoted the use of LSD as somthing positive for mind and spirit. No, I’m not suggesting that you use drugs to numb yourself to the continued futility of all things regarding NC State (especially its embarrassingly [...]

Tuesday, October 13, 2009
This season is the 9th consecutive where football season tickets have sold out at Carter-Finley. Here is a recent entry about selling out season tickets. For this entry, I am going to focus only on home football games. Set aside the LTRs, gas, hotel and airfare for road trips, donations to the Wolfpack Club, [...]

Friday, September 11, 2009
Alternative Title: After 43 years, Wolfpack Club takes leadership of Athletics Department’s responsibility (again) After last week’s game against South Carolina, SFN opened an interesting thread on the message boards asking people to share their ‘non-football’ experiences at Carter-Finley. As a Stadium SE permit holder, I have noticed the last several years that nobody has any clue [...]

Tuesday, March 17, 2009
I figure it’s as good a time as any to start turning the page away from basketball and to other topics, namely the coming football spring practices and spring game, as well as other various and sundry items of note and interest. The State Legislature is in town, so hold on to your wallets, and duck [...]

Friday, September 19, 2008
Out of all fundraisers in college athletics, the Wall Street Journal chose our very own Bobby Purcell to feature in this article. Some may be surprised that there wasn’t a single mention of Lee Fowler and others probably wonder how Bobby can raise so much money since NC State has such “bad” fans. Maybe the [...]

Wednesday, June 25, 2008
Athletic Director Lee Fowler released the 2007-2008 annual report for NC State Athletics.

Wednesday, April 16, 2008
Lee Fowler must be a busy man with his fishin’ and avoidance of providing direction or oversight for any of NC State’s various underachieving coaches. He certainly couldn’t be bothered to make his scheduled appearance at the Wolfpack Club caravan in Charlotte. We hear this is becoming something of a pattern for “Coach.” In [...]
