ESPN’s Ivan Maisel: "If The Pack Gets A Ground Game Going, Watch Out"

Published by Alpha Wolf on May 16, 2008 in 2008 Football. 1 Comment

Ivan Maisel of ESPN.com had this in his list of “Can’t Wait To See Things This Fall” list over on their web site: 

The Wolfpack won four of their last six and quietly found a star in junior tailback Jamelle Eugene. He rushed for 100 yards in three games down the stretch […] Let’s see how NC State survives early road games at South Carolina and Clemson. If the Wolfpack show any proficiency on the ground, watch out.

What I Couldn’t Ask Lee Fowler This Morning

Published by Alpha Wolf on May 16, 2008 in Lee Fowler, Wake Forest and Wolfpack Football. 3 Comments

Given that as a mere caller to a radio show, I was lucky to be able to ask our Athletic Director the two questions that I did, but I had a third one that I couldn’t get to.

Adam Gold laughed about me being like Tim Russert as it was, and I could definitely see where he was coming from given the setting. Still, it was what I would call a ‘micro-interview’ for lack of a better word and I had to make my points fast and my questions count. Had Adam and Mr. Fowler had given me a third question, here is what it would have been:

I Talk to Lee Fowler, And Lee Dodges My Questions…

Published by Alpha Wolf on May 16, 2008 in Lee Fowler, Wolfpack In The News and Wolfpack Sites. 7 Comments

Local sports talk station 850 the Buzz had Lee Fowler in the studio this morning and I got to speak to Lee Fowler on the air. This is the first time that we’ve ever spoken directly to Mr. Fowler coming from the standpoint of this website other than e-mail; and even that was several years ago.

Anyway, I was allowed two quick questions with the NCSU Athletic Director (trust me, I had a lot more) and quite honestly, I am not sure that he answered any of them directly.

Something Cool That NC State Should Do At Home Games

Published by Alpha Wolf on May 14, 2008 in Wolfpack Spirit. 3 Comments

Most of us have all see the flipcards that make graphic elements in the stands of a stadium: each seat in a given section has a card placed on it, and on a signal, everyone holds it up.

This is one that the NC State students in the end zone seats could do, if someone in Wolfpack Sports Marketing ever put it together.  Click on the picture to see it full-size.  To make your own flip cards, go to 1,024 Cheerleaders.

ECU Is Almost Begging the Big East for Membership

Published by Alpha Wolf on May 13, 2008 in Future Football Opponents. 7 Comments

From the Department of “If You Can’t Beat Them, Join Them”

 

RStones-begECU is definitely capable of holding their own on the football field, but they can’t seem to catch a break when it comes to getting into the BCS in football.

According the Business of College Football website and the Hartford Courant, ECU is willing to offer the Big East the following for membership:

  • Football membership only.
  • No compensation from the Big East so current members don’t have to give up any of their share of revenue.

ACC To Examine 18 Game Schedule for Conference Hoops

Published by Alpha Wolf on April 30, 2008 in Lee Fowler, The ACC At Large and Wolfpack Football. 8 Comments

The Charlotte Observer’s Ken Tysiac reports the the ACC’s Spring Meetings that the conference will look at expanding the slate of conference hoops games from sixteen to eighteen a year.

N.C. State athletics director Lee Fowler said the ACC needs to explore the possibility of joining them after the conference had the nation’s top RPI ranking but just four NCAA tournament berths in 2008.

“We’re the No. 1 RPI going in (before the tournament),” said Fowler, a former chair of the Division I men’s basketball committee. “It concerns me that, that didn’t get much weight and we only got four teams in. … There’s no question, it concerns me, and (ACC Commissioner) John Swofford, and everybody else.”

Playoff Hopes for College Football Are Held Hostage by the Big Ten and the Pac-10

Published by Alpha Wolf on April 29, 2008 in Bowl Championship Series, The Rest of the NCAA and Wolfpack Football. 12 Comments

counting_money In reality, perhaps the only way that NC State will ever have a chance at a national title in football is through a playoff.  Problem is, an FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision) playoff is a political football played by a power elite that benefits from a system that continues to enrich them and leaves only a very few teams truly capable of winning it all.  Sure, ostensibly a BCS team could play for and win the BCS Title game, but the reality of that pig in lipstick is that there are some favorite schools that always have the edge.  Teams like NC State are not one of them.  And that’s inherently unfair.

Maryland Player Comes In Fifth At Collegiate Eating Championship, NC State Nowhere To Be Found

Published by Alpha Wolf on April 28, 2008 in Lee Fowler, Maryland, Other Spors and funny stuff. 4 Comments

hot-dog From “Today’s ACC Headlines” comes news that Maryland had a “player” in the recent finals of the Collegiate Nationals Eating Championship held earlier this month in San Diego.  No Wolfpacker stepped up to the plate, so perhaps “Coach” Lee Fowler needs to consider replacing NC State’s head eating coach, Bettie from the Hillsborough Street Waffle House.  That will certainly not be the case, as informed sources tell RAWFS that Bettie is still the coach and that she is “on the schedule for the next two weeks.”
