Agree with Debbie Yow or not (and sometimes SFN doesn’t — just keep in mind that “SFN” is no one person or unified idea), she clearly has a plan. And unlike her incompetent predecessor(s), her plan — which appears right now to be pragmatic — has been transparent, especially in regards to whenever SFN challenges […]

Avent Receives 5 Year Extension
The winningest coach in State baseball history will continue to add wins to that total. Elliott Avent received a 5 year contract extension with a nice raise that should keep him in Raleigh for the remainder of his career. Â Joe Giglio of the N&O has the financial details. Avent’s program had a breakout year in […]
Pack v Canes: There is a reason why Dale Gibson writes about business instead of working in business
The feud between the Carolina Hurricanes and NC State University has taken too many turns for us to ignore any longer. We will go back and paint a more complete, comprehensive and educated picture of the issues in the near future. Â Today, someone has to chime in with some facts and common sense, considering the […]
Yow receives deserved contract extension
I must say that it is refreshing to see that the same NC State Board of Trustees who embarrassingly chose to retain Lee Fowler for an entire decade has learned a few things in recent years and have figured out how to reward people who actually deserve support. It was announced on Friday that Debbie […]
Proud NC State experience
I just wanted to take a quick moment to share a personal experience that I had on Monday morning at the annual “Breakfast of Champions” for the Boys and Girls Club of Raleigh at the Raleigh Convention Center. As always, this was a ‘first class’ event and served as a great opportunity to support one […]
Gottfried Now Living the Dream
When Mark Gottfried was introduced as the new head man for NC State Basketball eighteen months ago, it’s probably a fair statement that all of us who have followed the Wolfpack for any considerable length of time were at least slightly underwhelmed, even if we were guardedly optimistic. As Luke DeCock (N&O) reminds us today, […]
Vote For Ms. Wuf (aka, Current Admin. Gets It)
I received this email (quoted below) from the athletics department a little while ago, and wanted to share it here. How cool is it that the current administration knows it’s fans so well such that they know we love us a good poll skewin’? Anyone think that the previous admin. would have ever lowered themselves […]
N.C. State’s athletic future looks bright
Stumbled upon this great puff piece while doing research for baseball articles. Haven’t seen it linked elsewhere and wanted to get it up for anyone that hasn’t seen it yet. Just a little something to get you excited about next school year’s potential, and keep you excited thru the long college sports black hole of […]
N&O features Yow & her novel approach of accountability
It was a good weekend for NC State in the local media. The headline in Saturday’s morning’s News & Observer proclaimed that academic fraud was found at UNC-Chapel Hill (shocker!) and the feature story of Sunday’s sports section was, “Yow’s challenge: Put N.C. State athletic department on top” (Link). After taking over as athletic director […]
