I have been contemplating why we still have a coach few seem to want. I have decided the blame falls on Life Time Rights. What LTRs have done is remove the sole mouthpiece of the “common man”. If you do not buy the tickets you lose your ‘lifetime” rights and few, outside of the wealthy, […]
Flashback: Fowler BEFORE the Season
On December 12, 2005, Lee Fowler took to the radio airwaves (I know…I know….that is a big shock) and made some comments about his thoughts on the 2005-2006 NC State Basketball season. Since Lee Fowler “knows basketball”, then I think that we should take a quick look at what Fowler thought could be achieved this […]
“Barnes likely sees NC State as Clemson”
Wow. Right when I think that Pack Pride couldn’t get any worse, they do. The agenda and the craziness over there is so bad that old JB34 committed internet suicide this weekend. (I didn’t want to be too tempted to burn the place down after Rick Barnes beat the hell out of our program). Today, […]

Mike Davis – Handling Coaching Pressure With Class
If there was a similar “situation” to that of Herb Sendek and NC State, it had to be the case of Mike Davis and Indiana. Against a backdrop of student and alumni protest, Mike Davis announced his resignation midway through the Big Ten season. He did so in an effort to take the enormous pressure […]
NC State’s Favorite Coach Advances To Sweet 16 (Again)
I can’t figure out which headline to run with my post game comments. Perhaps you have a suggestion different than these? Barnes Loves Sendek The Way Roy and K Do Barnes > Sendek. Any Questions? Longhorns Spank Sendek Behind The Barnes Predict the Next Excuse For Sendek Supporters That’s our Herb Penn Quakers a Tougher […]
NC State/Texas Live Blogging
Just a hunch, but could this possibly shape up to be our day? If not, we still must take time to thank the Patriots of George Mason, who made sure the day won’t be a total loss. Imagine that – a Sweet Sixteen matchup of George Mason vs. Wichita State. And they really earned it, […]
Pregame: State vs Texas
I’ve gotten a few emails from friends in the last 48 hours asking what I think of the Wolfpack’s chances to knock of #2 seeded Texas today. The only reason that anyone has asked…as if my opinion means two cents..is because (a) I have lived in Texas for the last five years and (b) because […]
Vitale: Could be a Great Moment for Sendek and State
Dick Vitale screamed the praises of Herb Sendek and NC State on ESPN’s Sportscenter this morning. He went so far as to comment that NC State could pull the upset, especially if Cedric Simmons plays well, and that “this could be a great moment for Herb Sendek and NC State.” This is exciting build up […]
Tudor’s Value circa 1983 Tidbit
This link from the N&O’s ACC Now Blog underscores my beliefs that Tudor is one of the #1 ACC Historian’s living today. Very neat stuff, IMHO: DAYTON, Ohio — George Mason coach Jim Larranaga was hit with perhaps the most famous technical foul in ACC history. It happened during the 1983 conference championship between N.C. […]
