Ron Green, Sr took off his Carolina-blue glasses and was kind enough to include the rest of the Big Four in a great article in today’s Charlotte Observer. Green is kind enough to include NC State in his conversation about the Big Four, despite the fact that we have done little to support the prominence […]
Gary Williams to the rescue…again
Williams on Sendek After NC State swept Maryland a week and a half ago, Terps coach Gary Williams offered some complimentary words for NC State Head Coach, Herb Sendek. “Herb Sendek prepares his teams as well as anybody we play against,” Williams said. “He does a great job. He should get a lot more credit […]
Goodbye, Brothers Pizza
Brothers Pizza closed its doors tonight. N&O: Brothers Says Goodbye “Brothers Pizza will serve its last pie tonight, ending a four-decade run as N.C. State University’s unofficial campus pizzeria. The restaurant on Hillsborough Street is the latest in a string of inexpensive eateries gone bust on the university community’s traditional main street. Opened in the […]
Digger: State is today’s ‘Must Win’
Digger Phelps of ESPN’s College Gamebday cited NC State as his pick in a “must win” team on today’s college basketball slate. Additionally, Jay Bilas cited Virginia Tech over NC State as “upset alert” for the day. In Las Vegas, the Wolfpack opened the day as an 11 point favorite. I have seen some lines […]
No McCants? No Problem for Tarheels
I thought that the stars might have been aligned for the Wolfpack on Tuesday night, but the Pack couldn’t pull through with a win for the home crowd (again). Carolina beat State by ten tonight. Why should Sendek’s Birthday be any different from the rest of his nine years. NC State dropped to 15-11 overall […]
Is Pack Still Feeling Special @ Home?
=> During last week’s win over Maryland, I blogged a halftime entry and a post-game entry that both mentioned how the Wolfpack and the RBC Center seemed kind of “old school” during the game. The fans felt/sounded good. The white uniforms looked crisp. Even Billy Packer was courtside commentating like the old days. => Rashad […]
Fowler Trapped in his (many) Comments
My mother always told me that if you just sit back and let some people do their thing long enough, that they will eventually trap themselves in all of the many words that they have used in the past. Although it has probably become pretty obvious to you that I am not necessarily the “sit […]

Soft Scheduling Can Make Wallflowers of Good Teams
Interesting story in today’s Houston Chronicle regarding college basketball out of conference scheduling.
Pre-Game Embarrassment
As Herb Sendek attempts to improve his 1-12 record against Carolina coaches not named Matt Doherty, NC State is preparing to battle (formerly-heated) rival, UNC-Chapel Hill tonight in the RBC Center. (Sendek is 0-6 vs Carolina Coaches not named Matt Doherty in Raleigh. Hell of a home court advantage!!!!) The last time these two “battled”, […]
