Fowler Says Fans Won’t Run Out Of Water Tomorrow (Forecast: 78 degrees)

'07 Football AD & Department General NC State Administration NCS Football35

What a prediction!! Good old Lee Fowler and NC State. Reactive. Never proactive. Is it so much to ask that they get something right the first time?

N.C. State athletics director Lee Fowler said Thursday that there should not be a shortage of bottled water for Saturday’s football game against Louisville.

Spectators at last week’s game against Clemson, a 42-20 loss for the Wolfpack, complained that the concession stands ran out of water amid 90-degree heat and high humidity. Some of those fans left the stadium early.

“There was about a 10-minute period when the water supply was a problem, and we apologize to our fans for that. I certainly understand their frustration, and I think we have the problem corrected,” Fowler said. “It was a terribly hot day, and I think our suppliers did their best to respond. But it’s something that we want to do our best to make sure doesn’t happen again.”

    The AD has it under control. No worries.

    Are you guys kidding about the pocket knives? Are they searching everyone’s pockets? Bags are one thing, but that’s carrying it to the total extreme. Is the search arbitrary? Do they do the same for the “big buck fans”?

    One of you legal experts need to get on this? I carry my pocket knife everywhere except on an airplane. You never know when you might have to open a beer!!!! Fowler probably couldn’t find mine anyway since it’s a camoflage Swiss Army knife!

    The Fan Guide says “weapon”. If they allow you to take it in your rear pocket, I think they just acknowledged that it’s not considered to be a “weapon”.

    A few years back I was going to the Red and White game and I had my SLR camera with me. The security guy stopped me and said, “Sorry, no cameras with detachable lenses.” When I asked why, he said they were worried about “throwing it onto the court.”
    Yeah, I’m going to throw my $1100 camera & lens onto the court (at the Red & White game, no less).
    I don’t know if that was the real reason, but I did get to bring it into C-F last week.

    Pretty soon, we’ll have to attend public events in straight-jackets and those Hannibal Lecter masks/muzzles.

    You guys need to come on over to Russia where the rule of law is merely a suggestion and easily bypassed with a few hundred rubles or knowing the right people. Also, metal detectors are everywhere, but they are either not on or they just let people pass through without checking even when the freaking thing goes off! Although seeing police with machine guns going into someone’s apartment building on a routine check isn’t too settling.

    Also, to stay on topic about Lee, there’s a (new?) disease and it’s called (I’m not making this up): Nagleria fowleri. The disease eats the brain. Make any connections you’d like.

    The earliest known case of Naegleria fowleri occurred in a patient from Virginia. However, this case was not reported until 1968 when during a retrospective review of autopsies. The first published report of Naegleria fowleri causing CNS disease was reported in Australia in 1965. In this initial report, the authors suggested the etiologic amoebae probably belonged to the genus Acanthamoeba. However, subsequent investigation shows these cases were most likely due to Naegleria fowleri. It is important because diagnosis can be difficult and PAM usually is rapidly fatal, so it should be monitored carefully. You have to know that Naegleria fowleri produces a diffuse hemorrhagic meningoencephalitis associated with purulent meningitis. The cortical gray matter is the most severely involved area when disease because of this ameba occurs. Because of severe edema of the brain, pressures are elevated, and uncal or cerebellar herniation can occur, which could be dangerous. Apart from the damage to the CNS, infection with Naegleria fowleri is also associated with a neutrophilic myocarditis, but the clinical significance of this myocarditis is unknown.

    It must have moved from Virginia to North Carolina by way of Tennessee!
