ESPN & ESPN2 have released part of their 2005 College Football television schedule. The schedule does not include all Saturday and Saturday night games that often are not scheduled until closer to kickoff. ESPN’s schedule and other television schedules will be permanently linked on the left hand side of this blog under “College Resources” for […]

Why Sidney Lowe Should be Sendek’s Choice
On Saturday, The News & Observer‘s Caulton Tudor authored a really good look at the currently vacant assistant coaching position within NC State’s basketball program created by the departure of Larry Hunter. Tudor’s article flows nicely from (a) discussing Hunter to (b)providing historical perspective on his arrival at State to (c) highlighting his impact on […]
Confirmed: Pack’s Opener Moved to Sunday Night
As I mentioned last week, it has now become official that NC State’s 2005 Football Season will begin one day later than planned. The Wolfpack’s season opener with the defending ACC Champions, Virginia Tech, will kickoff at 7:15pm ET so that it can be nationally televised on ESPN2. As you recall, State handed the Hokies […]
Football’s Media Blackout
If you aren’t a very close follower of NC State’s football program, you probably would not be aware that the Wolfpack is in the middle of 2005 Spring practice. The reason that you wouldn’t be aware is because there is very little information in the public domain and coverage by the media regarding practice. A […]
Real Good Reading

Final Four weekend is such a frenzy of activity that some very interesting reading can often fall through the cracks if you don’t get lucky enough to run […]
Stepping Back — Again; What Could Have Been
Ned Barnett of the News & Observer was able to say some things that many State fans were not allowed to say on propaganda-laden message boards on Sunday in his piece, Pack Takes Step Back — again. I want to personally thank Barnett for a fantastic piece on a variety of levels and for not […]
Article: Fingers will be pointing at Sendek again
Bob Lipper says that the fingers of discontent are already pointing at Sendek again. He also quotes the poll that PackPride ran in the middle of the season, that 86% wanted Sendek out. Would be interesting to see if that number has changed any.
Finally Some SWEETness
I’ve had multiple emails from people asking where the heck that I have been the last few days so I felt obligated to drop a quick line to celebrate the Pack’s return to the Sweet 16! I closed on the purchase of a new home on Friday afternoon and am scheduled to close on the […]
Technician Weighs in on Sendek
In a surprising development, NC State’s student newspaper ran this article today. As a student at NC State from 1991-1995, I remember the dogged level of irrational support the Technician’s sports page gave to a clearly overmatched Les Robinson. With that context, Ryan Reynolds’ article certainly adds another log to an already raging fire of […]
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”, […]
