I make rash decisions

2/8/2010 6:50:26 PM

Let me start out by saying that I'm one of those die-hard fans that has too much State paraphernalia and knows way too much about the history of our athletics. I do yell at games, but I don't make an ass out of myself. I just want to say that I am tired of waiting for us to put out a winner. I'm tired of the excuses. I understand the whole "let the coaches have enough time to build their program", but dammit how long do I have to wait?

GT hires Paul Johnson and what does he do in his first two years? Only win 9 games in his first year and win the ACC in his second. Now obviously GT was a solid program for a number of years as evident by their string of bowl appearances, but for a long time they weren't a program that was considered elite. Hell from 2002-2007 only once did they not finish with only 7 wins, which was the 2006 season where they won the Atlantic division in one of the weakest ACC seasons ever. Then you have Virginia, who has way less basketball history and passion than us, go off and hire Tony Bennett and they're tied for fucking first in the ACC right now after finishing 11th last year. It's not like they added a great recruiting class either. Hell even Dave Leitao, as much of a fuck-up that guy was, was able to take UVA to a first place finish in the regular season a couple of years ago.

Hell even when we were good (see the Rivers and latter half of the Sendek years) we weren't anything special. We never won the conference with Rivers and lost 4 straight to Maryland, despite how great he was. And with Sendek, with the exception of one year, we always barely snuck into the tournament and were guaranteed an early exit from the tournament, with Hodge's heroics in 05 being the lone exception. Seriously when are we going to be relevant? When is the massive amount of donations and facility upgrades gonna pay off? We've invested more than our fair share of money, tears, sweat, and blood (I've yelled so hard at games that I was coughing up blood afterwards) into this athletic department to not have it finally pay off.

Now I'm going to give Lowe and O'Brien the time that I think that they deserve, but the saddest thing is that if they fail and we end up having to get rid of them I have no confidence in our AD to be able to lure the right hire that will turn it around. The cycle will continue and we will be doomed to a life of not even being mediocre. What's sad is that we don't have any other sports to hang our hat on like UVA and some of the other schools have. We suck at everything. It hurts me to admit that our athletic department is the laughingstock of the ACC right now.

We must fire Fowler before we do anything. I truly believe that this atmosphere in our athletic department of accepting mediocrity is because of him. We need a change that will hopefully come with the new chancellor's hiring. Everyone on here wants to act like people around the country don't know anything about NC State and this is just not true. I've traveled a lot and live in Philadelphia now. When I tell people that I went to NC State, they know what school I'm talking about. They know we are located in Raleigh. They know we are the Wolfpack. They know we are in the ACC. There is no excuse for our ineptitude. We have the nicest basketball arena in the ACC and it is one of the nicest in the country. Our basketball practice facility is one of the nicest in the country. And our facilities for football are always voted the best in the ACC ( http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/football/notebook?page=notebook/signingdaypreview2010 ). We can and should be better.

"Bounce dryer sheets...allergic reaction? Severe allergic reaction!! It took me a couple of days to figure out the source. I thought it was the new detergent, then I thought the bleach ( we had recently changed to HD types ). Changed detergents and bleach and narrowed it down to the Bounce dryer sheets. Itchy at first, then broke out all over in 1 day, then was a manic body rash for 3 days. The horrific rash broke into drying flaky skin. Stay away from dryer sheets in general!! Google the toxic chemicals in them..."

maybe this is it
