A little something from Andy Katz and the ESPN College Basketball Blog that every Pack fan should take the time to read. NC State rebuilding for the future (ESPN.com) NC State was staring at a potential NIT bid in Mark Gottfried’s first season with two games left in the 2011-12 regular season. The Wolfpack won […]

Gott to Fans: I’m Still Committed to NC State
I’m sure there will be much more to come in the coming days, but Gott himself takes a little bit of the air out of the balloon of speculation that has been building for a few days now (where else but on twitter…oy): Mark Gottfried â€@Mark_Gottfried 22m #WPN I am committed to being at @NCState […]
UCLA Beat Writer: Gottfried a target
There’s just not a lot of info floating around on the UCLA coaching search. But, I’m also not scouring UCLA message boards (nor SFN’s peer boards, either). What’s most interesting to me in this search is that UCLA has always been widely considered a career destination job, and is easily one of the five best […]
No Sleep ’til Atlanta
Quacko decided it was best for us to move across the aisle to some empty seats, partly for more legroom but mostly because the Jayhawks around us would soon become very annoyed. It was his fault we were even in St. Louis, and we both knew as we worked out the plans, only minutes after […]
Gottfried Now Living the Dream
When Mark Gottfried was introduced as the new head man for NC State Basketball eighteen months ago, it’s probably a fair statement that all of us who have followed the Wolfpack for any considerable length of time were at least slightly underwhelmed, even if we were guardedly optimistic. As Luke DeCock (N&O) reminds us today, […]
Gottfriend & Avent get raises
Wow! Big raise for Gottfried on one year’s performance. I sure hope we never hear of him entertaining offers from anyone else – including UCLA & Kentucky – in the future. Debbie Yow and NC State have provided him an opportunity when nobody else in basketball would do the same and continue to support him […]
CJL: What folks are saying
Today was a huge day for State fans. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. We’re excited, and rightfully so. For the first time in two decades we have competent leadership, a coaching staff that embraces the lofty expectations of this passionate fan base and an experienced team committed to winning championships. And now today, with […]
Time Heals All Knee Jerks
Raise your hand if, like me, you gave a loud “What the hell?” when Mark Gottfried was announced as the new Wolfpack men’s basketball coach nearly a year ago. I admit it – at this time a year ago, I was spending hours on the internet trolling for the scoop on who State would hire. […]
Pack downs Horns 77-74
State trailed 65-47 with 11:50 to play before finishing the game on a 27-12 run to pull out the quality win and move to 4-1 on the season. Leslie scored 17, Wood 16 and Brown 11. Box Score (ESPN). Recap (WRAL) The game was on ESPN3.com, which many of us don’t have access to so […]
LRM’s Initial Reaction to Mark Gottfried
By the time Mark Gottfried was hired, I was indifferent, borderline lethargic. I was working in Puerto Rico that week, with no 3G and very limited Wi-Fi, and I’d already begun my self-imposed month-long hiatus – like I do every spring – away from all things N.C. State, which is entirely necessary to preserve my […]
