I'm cautiously optimistic and am looking forward to the first game and season.<br /><br />In addition to this article, I am optimistic about this year's team because of what Coach Lowe said at the end of last season. The 2nd team (Mays, Williams, Thomas, Smith, and Horner) consistently beat the first team in practice for the entire second half of the season.<br /><br />Additionally, NC State will have some of the most experienced PG's in the ACC. The loss of PG talent (Lawson, Teague, Douglas, Rice, and McClinton) in the ACC will greatly effect the conference but for the good of NC State. Overall, the conference may be down some this year.<br /><br />Lastly, Sidney has recruited players who embrace defense and will work hard at it as well as have better defensive fundamentals.<br /><br />Go Pack!<br /><br />Wiley Wolf<br />Raleigh, NCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7925605977955920392.post-67859280068462128082009-08-25T09:44:56.387-04:002009-08-25T09:44:56.387-04:00^ Agreed.

The Wolfpack fans want to pride themselves on loyalty...looking and laughing when Carolina fans don't show up for football games or when they leave a basketball game early. Yet when Sidney Lowe, a historical figure that helped shape Wolfpack history isn't winning immediatly people want to throw him under the bus. I call BS and I call people that are not TRUE pack fans. It infuriates me. I graduated in 98 and I had to deal with the Herb years. I'm so happy we have a coach like Lowe who has a true vision to be the best and to one day be a champion and he's not scared to talk about. Give him some time people you'll see.<br /><br />ok I'm done ranting. Anyways, first time poster here and actually first time visitor.

Many don't realize that pushing Sid out the door prematurely would be more detrimental to our program than not, almost promising more L's in the long term. It's already a tough gig, and I ask, who would want to coach here if our fan base exhibits such impatience and hostility with one of our own guys?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07166897902621919062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7925605977955920392.post-38685888020602602712009-08-25T00:49:16.211-04:002009-08-25T00:49:16.211-04:00^^ps.

There's just been way too much criticism of Lowe and I find it unwarranted. We hated Sendek but we gave him much more than 4 years so why not afford the same courtesy to Lowe. People forget that during the last coaching search, no one wanted the job. Why? Because it's a pressure filled job with no upside for most coaches. Competing against duke, unc and wake and also having to make progress each season under those circumstances? Only an alum would take a job like that. Someone who truly loved the school. A guy like that deserves a chance, hell, many chances. I like the talent coming in. Harrow is a straight-up bad-ass. Lowe will right the ship but he needs time and patience from the fans.<br /><br />BTW.. love this site. Focused on bball and very upbeat.
