It’s like the energizer bunny. After receiving widespread criticism for creating significant negative national attention at the end of last week, the Lee Fowler quote machine just keeps on rolling. After the N&O ran the BIG NEWS that Lee Fowler supports Julius Hodge on Wednesday (THIS is news?) …we find out today that the Wolfpack […]

Media Agrees: Fowler Should Shut-Up
There must be a full moon tonight. Despite a few stragglers still fighting the Lee Fowler battle on the Pack Pride Message Boards, the overwhelming majority of ‘advice’ to “Coach Fowler” seem to be in significant agreement with our perspective #1 and our perspective #2. Tonight we have learned that even ‘impartial’ observers are in […]
Mission Accomplished: Fowler’s Name in Lights!! (…again)
I couldn’t help but chuckle. (No pun intended). Actually, “chuckle” is an incorrect representation of the amusement I received Friday when a friend from Raleigh emailed Lee Fowler’s open letter to fans to my Blackberry. I almost wrecked as I tried to park my vehicle. (By the way…How long did that take? Seriously….did Fowler have […]
Technician Slams the “Mexi-Cam”
The Technician called the loss to Clemson was “embarrassing”. The scoreboard folks topped their embarassing cartoons with a “mexi-cam”. I had left the game by that point, but it is troubling, if true.
TBJ: Universities Ramp up Athletic Fundraisers

Coffman’s point is easily illustrated by Duke’s archrival just a few miles down U.S. 15-501. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s athletic scholarship endowment is worth about $117 […]
The USC Lovefest Gets Worse
I never thought it possible that the media could love USC more, but it’s happened. And why? Because they almost, no make that should have, lost another game. Now the “Greatest Offense Everâ€? supposedly scripted a comeback win in the “Greatest Game Everâ€?. I fully expect that if USC does lose a game the headlines […]

Let’s take a quick look around some related issues that aren’t so directly focused on the current state of Wolfpack Football for a little breather. ===> As any Wolfpacker would feel — I […]
ACC Officials Proven Worst
No surprise here. But, we’ve got some “news” that you already knew… …the Atlantic Coast Conference is home to the worst officials in the country as now proven by instant replay. All fans of all schools think that their officials are “the worst”; it is just the nature of being a fan. But, fans of […]
Two Perspectives on Thursday’s Crowd
Not to beat a dead horse, but Lee Fowler’s open letter was ridiculous both substantively and procedurally. From a substantive standpoint, it’s pure blather. Mr. “I know basketball, and football too, I guess” points to football facilities that “we might not even have” if not for Chuck Amato. As a friend pointed out, most of […]
