Our excuse? Lee Fowler. That’s my answer for everything having to do with State athletics, though time is getting away.
We have no excuse. Wake won an ACC title with Grobe. Now Duke pens a banner season. And it isn’t a fluke. They are well coached, and they are good. Anybody that thinks we shouldn’t expect better results than those two is blinded. Of course we can do it. All the resources are there. But will we?
You have to be consistent enough and luck enough to ‘time’ a ‘special season’ at the same time that some of the powerhouses are struggling (like Wake did in 2008).
Sadly, as things stand now, Duke may have a small structural advantage on us in this because they are in the significantly weaker Coastal Division. Now that FSU and Clemson are the clear class of the league NC State is going to always have a much tougher road of timing a ‘breakthrough’ than our friends in the Coastal Division.
