Have you seen this? (And people criticize NC State fans for being crazy?) As an NC State fan, I firmly share the educated perspective that Todd Turner will forever be one of the two men MOST responsible for the destruction of NC State athletics in the 1990s that has contributed to a long-term deterioriation of […]
AD & Department
PP: ‘Pack Soccer, A Commitment to Disaster’
As we piggy-back this entry from just a couple of weeks ago that was written when NC State had ZERO conference wins in fall sports, it is time for our annual mention of just how poorly the NC State soccer programs are being managed (or, just how wonderful the programs are being mis-managed). Just last […]
Fowler Says Fans Won’t Run Out Of Water Tomorrow (Forecast: 78 degrees)
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 […]
I doubt that NC State has a Ranger65
The bizarre nature of the recent revelations of internet postings of Whole Foods CEO, John Mackay reminded me of something that I noted back in December but had never run on SFN. If you aren’t familiar with the Mackay case – the public company’s CEO used an anagram from an alias for nearly eight years […]
Murphy: “The consultant did the work”
Love it. Read into it what you will…but Murphy’s comments are pretty spot on. This is from ACC Sports Journal’s website: “(The NCSU football search) was done professionally, and it was done quietly. The consultant did the work, Lee (Fowler) kept it quiet, and no one was tracking my airplane on the internet. … I […]
Fowler Hits New Low: A Call To The Board Of Trustees
We’ve all seen (as VaWolf82 summarized) numerous examples of Lee Fowler making thoughtless and insulting statements about the people who, in the aggregate, pay his salary. Fans unhappy with the 8-38 Periclean Age of Herb Sendek, for instance, were a “lunatic fringe†consisting of “50 people on the Internet.†Just yesterday, when asked to name […]
Ratcliffe: Wise AD’s Have Short Lists
This entry originally ran on SFN on April 11, 2006 at 10:23pm Jerry Ratcliffe, Sports Editor, The Daily Progress. “A wise, old AD once told me, any athletic director worth his salt always carries around a short list of coaching candidates (for football and basketball), just in case something happens.”
Fowler’s Fate May Rest in Lowe’s Hands (Updated 11/7)
We are pretty busy this morning and don’t have a lot of time to comment right now. We saw this artice in the Fayetteville Observer and figured it would generate some comments from you so we wanted to get it on the site. More later. In our archives we ran across this old entry from […]

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 […]
