You think that Lee Fowler and the dinosaurs at NC State hate the ‘internets’? Wait until savy fans become more active in benchmarking horrible officiating on YouTube and the internet. It is something that we wish that we had more time to around here. (Note: if you are a young, tech-savy fan with a desire […]
Jim Valvano’s Room of Dreams
Found linked at PackPride, this video is inspirational. It’s awesome. (And you’ll also see future Wolfpack head coach Sidney Lowe and assistant coach Monty Towe in there.) Dreams come true at NC State. Dreams become reality at NC State. Are you a dreamer? Do you have dreams that you can make come true? Can you […]
Rick’s Advice for Sidney
Sidney, I am not a basketball coach. I do not even pretend to be but I do feel I possess an accurate perspective on NCSU basketball. I have been watching and playing basketball for 30+ years, have been a State fan as long as I can remember. I have been paying real close attention to […]

Should editors make these comments?
Check this out Is this a joke? or am I off base? But…isn’t it a combination of odd, inappropriate, stupid, and ridiculous for a SPORTS EDITOR to pen a quasi-article that proclaims, “I don’t particularly care for (the largest public university in the state in which I cover sports”)? Seriously. Tell me if I am […]

Fells & Costner’s Posterizing Dunks
Don’t ignore the hard work of Ben McCauley. (Additionally, Big Ben has had some pretty awesome slams this season that would be nice to be on YouTube as well.) But, these two posterizations deserve their own entry here. Courtney has already had his own earlier in the year on the heels of this entry of […]
Ben McCauley Appreciation Thread
The blog was pretty full late last week, and we didn’t get a chance to highlight this excellent article on Big Ben from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
