Yesterday’s entry highlighting the Wolfpack Women’s big win in Chapel Hill over the weekend reminded me of a recent conversation that I wanted to share with the community to see if any of our community members had any insight to share.

TBJ Reports NCSU lags behind on recruiting spending
It’s really no surprise to most of us here at Statefans that the Triangle Business Journal’s Chris Baysden is reporting that NC State spends much less on recruiting than our rivals down the road.

The Relevancy of Irrelevancy – Is Lack Of Athletic Success Limiting The University?
Some of the comments on the recent Monday Morning entry got me to thinking about the possible effects of our lack of athletic success on the university as a whole. I have to believe that athletics is a big component of the marketing and identity of a university (and you can make a fair case […]

Shocking – Lee Fowler Still Doesn’t Get It
Lodged deep within the N&O’s write-up of the upcoming Wolfpack hoops season (all WTNY, all the time, just like the buffoonish duo of Fowler and Lowe want it) is this little gem from Fowler’s always jabbering mouth: Too many times, loyalty’s a one-way street. Fans want the coach to be loyal to them, but they’re […]

The Unholy Trilogy and Other Groups of Distinction
On a blog entry on Buster Sports, author Dave Nathan has discovered what he believes to be the three worst college football and basketball teams from 2006 to 2009.

The best thing Lee Fowler has done at NC State
We catch a lot of flak for our criticisms of Lee Fowler and the manner in which he runs the NC State Athletics Department; and much of that criticism comes from people that are too spineless or too stupid to actually publicly stake their own opinions. But, we choose to educate ourselves on issues and […]
The State of State 2.0 – Championships
The new school year is upon us and I still have some summaries of the 2008-2009 season to share, better late than never I suppose. This entry will take a look at conference and national titles for both the 2008-2009 school year, for the 9 year tenure of Lee Fowler as AD and for the […]
