In addition to this piece, another of SFN’s more respected local writers penned some greath thoughts regarding Sidney Lowe today that merits some attention and discussion. The News & Observer’s Caulton Tudor compared the big gamble on Coach Lowe to the role of underdog that the 1983 National Champion Wolfpack. Tudor goes on to say: […]
Glenn’s De-Briefing (4:30 Update)
David Glenn spent some time de-briefing the NC State coaching search in a couple of different places over the last week that I thought would be worth linking. We’ve been pretty busy this week catching up on life (& work) and haven’t had an opportunity to get to some of our commentary yet. Please forgive […]
Sunday’s Sidney Wrap-up
The NC State point guard that wore #35 in route to winning the 1983 National Basketball Championship was formally announced as NC State’s 7th Head Coach in the post World War II era yesterday after a 35 day search.

850 The Buzz: Winners and Losers of the Search
850 The Buzz’s Blog keeps getting better and better. They turned around this entry about the winners and losers of the coaching search very quickly. Like other traditional media outlets during the search, they even threw some praise our way: State Fans Nation blew up during the coaching search. The guys who run that site […]
Better to be incompetent? or stupid?
I’m not looking to re-hash anything…just looking to chronicle something so that it isn’t forgotten. (So, there is no reason to turn on the comments of this entry).

DeCourcy’s Good Piece – State Not Doing it Right
Mike DeCourcy of the The Sporting News helped the national media save a little face on Tuesday when he ran a piece called N.C. State isn’t doing this hiring thing right. So much that has been written recently from survey-course-journalists who were educated on MTV and Nintendo has been so far beyond the realm of […]
Six Wolfpackers Drafted
It was a nice weekend for NC State to receive some positive PR!!! Six Wolfpackers were selected in the two-day NFL Draft over the weekend, and two others signed free agency contracts on Sunday. The Wolfpacker’s Draft Tracker highlights State’s six draft picks over the weekend. Heck, even Torry Holt got into the swing of […]
850 The Buzz on Phil Ford
I’d like to thank 850 The Buzz’s Blog for appropriately addressing the “Phil Ford” situation in this blog entry. SFN may run a little more clarity on this in the future; but for now the good people at The Buzz have appropriately addressed the situation and there isn’t much need for more commentary on the […]
Super For Mario!
NC State’s Mario Williams signed a deal with the Houston Texans to become the #1 overall pick today’s NFL Draft. Houston Chronicle story News & Observer story Charlotte Observer story Mario is the first #1 NFL overall pick in the history of the Atlantic Coast Conference. NC State’s Roman Gabriel was the Oakland Raiders #1 […]
At this point…why NOT?
NC State fans need to take a step back for a moment and realize that our basketball program has now been placed in a precarious situation. We are NOT in this situation because we have an unattractive job. That is ridiculous. We are in this situation today because our Athletics Director failed to take proper […]
