I really like and support this guy... all jokes (trolling) aside.

GET WELL SID!

2/21/2007 11:39:55 PM

Hopefully he'll be well enough to travel to Tallahassee Saturday

2/21/2007 11:46:17 PM

Wishing Sid a speedy recovery. I'm impressed that he went out and coached with the way he'd been feeling... shows us all that he really values the importance of this rivalry.

2/21/2007 11:47:26 PM

everyone get your asses out to the wake game wed. and show your support.

2/21/2007 11:48:06 PM

Anyone who ever doubted sid should be convinced by the difference between the first and second half.

I hope he gets better soon.

2/21/2007 11:48:21 PM

Get well Sid, I'd like to believe there was a correlation between our total collapse and Sid's. Either way we need him pretty bad to keep things running so smoothly. Poor Towe was not quite ready for the hot seat.

2/21/2007 11:48:33 PM

sid is still 1-0 and i firmly believe that the red jacket has mystical powers that penetrate through our players' bodies when they look over and see Sid donning it.

2/21/2007 11:48:39 PM

He had no water, coach

He died of the dehydration

2/21/2007 11:48:55 PM

Sidney is the fucking man... I hope he's ok, and of course he probably will be, but I hope he doesn't feel responsible or guilty... and of course we all know he has no need to feel that way... but sometimes people still play the blame game on themselves

2/21/2007 11:48:56 PM

haha i agree with every single post in this thread

get well sid

2/21/2007 11:49:23 PM

electrolytes, motherfuckers.

2/21/2007 11:50:38 PM

Yeah, I don't think this in any way reflects poorly on Towe... imagine even the level of distraction that seeing the HEAD coach being carted off would create... and then turn around and try to hold the world together in front of 19K Carolina fans. I'm proud of the effort.

i hate to sound like an ass--and it will be interpreted as so here...

but take any team who loses their coach at halftime and see if they play the same in the second half

and after hearing monte towe's post game interview...it's pretty clear he didn't know what to do and the players weren't told all that much...that just spells disaster

[Edited on February 21, 2007 at 11:53 PM. Reason : sounds like he's going to be fine, which is good]

2/21/2007 11:51:30 PM

I think Towe MAY have been in over his head a bit (his big rival at U of NO was UL-Lafayette, the team we beat in the '04 tournament); if he had to do this against any other team, I think he would've fared better.

Get well soon, Coach.

2/22/2007 12:07:38 AM

the hopes, fears, and tears of the entire wolfpack nation are with you, kick dehydration's ass

2/22/2007 12:23:49 AM

Is there someplace we can send some support messages or something? The dehydration was most likely an effect of something else, like the flu, and I'd like to wish him well and show some support for all he has done so far this season.

2/22/2007 12:31:13 AM

Get well indeed...I love how everyone rallies around the team...this season has been such a great revival of Wolfpack spirit, I just hope Sid doesn't think we blame him for tonight's mishap...the first half was freakin' awesome...Go Pack!

2/22/2007 12:57:20 AM

I hope you have a speedy recovery. You are in my prayers.

2/22/2007 12:58:13 AM

The damn Tarheel fans must have brought some of their gayness on Sidney...dammit Coach why didn't you heed the wisdom of Shavlik Randolph

true. but for some teams, it's much more important for the head coach to be on the sidelines for any particular game.

for a team like ours where we essentially have 5 players (not counting the two almost worthless players off the bench), it's important for our head coach to be on the sidelines for every game.

for a team like unc that has almost 10 guys that could start somewhere else, the head coach on the sidelines isn't quite as important for any singular game.

a little bit of difference in that regard

Yeah like Charlie said the player's lost confidence. Also we were tired as fuck. Might have had something to do with it.

2/22/2007 1:09:13 AM

i miss sid. get well quickly.

2/22/2007 1:11:38 AM

did anybody think about sid when costner fouled out and the guy at the bench offered him a water bottle and he refused it

2/22/2007 1:15:11 AM

Charlie actually got one right. Towe did indeed sound like he didn't know what was going on. You mean they changed the way they played screens???

2/22/2007 1:16:06 AM

holla at ya boy sid

2/22/2007 1:37:49 AM

im not saying we lost b/c we didnt have Sid........but i wish we could replay that 2nd half with him on the bench. Oh well.....its over now. Get will sid, we love ya big guy

2/22/2007 1:38:53 AM

sid will get his chances at the nose dome, don't worry. the next few years will get real interesting, with sid tearing up the recruiting trail and unc potentially losing a lot to the nba.

You could probably drop by the Dail Basketball Facility and ask them to give Coach Lowe a get well card for you. The Case Athletic Center may also work too. I'm not sure if they moved the basketball coaches' offices out of the Case Center to the new basketball facility or not. It would be a nice sign for 1000's of "Get Well Soon" cards to show up for Coach Lowe and show him some support, as well as "Thank You" cards to the entire coaching staff for trying their best to provide continuity to the team after Lowe went down.

Man we seriously need a research hospital on Centennial Campus considering how often our coaches get sick. Valvano, Yow, Lowe, and probably some others? Dean seems to have been able to live a long and healthy life. Maybe it's b/c of the great healthcare he receives at the UNC Hospital.

I did.

2/22/2007 1:50:17 AM

^^^ hmm. maybe poor taste, maybe.

although to talk about it seriously, a research hospital would be legit, except i'd hate to look like we're just trying to mimic duke/unc. unless it was the most baller hospital ever, and no one ever went to their hospitals anymore b/c ours was awesome. i'd be for that.

2/22/2007 1:53:11 AM

It'd be hot too, b/c we could have our Biochemistry, Genetics, Biomedical Engineering, and Microbiology departments work closely with it. We already do a bunch of research that applies to medicine anyways. Throw in the Psychology Department to develop a psychiatric ward, the Chemistry Department to improve some of the important chemicals used in medicine, and the Physics Department to develop more baller ass machines used in healthcare and we'd be one helluva research hospital. Did you know that there are only two schools in North Carolina (NCSU & WFU) that have Microbiology majors. A representative of a pharmaceutical company that I may end up working for said that it was hard for them to find people that majored in Microbiology in NC b/c of this. They often times have to settle for Biology majors that only had to take a basic Microbiology course while in college. I found that surprising.

You realize that practicing medicine is completely different from all the shit you just listed, right?

2/22/2007 2:12:10 AM

no dude, you don't get it. we're changing the way medicine is practiced.

baller.

2/22/2007 2:26:15 AM

at least we have an excuse for sucking donkey balls the second half

of course we did, but no one's really going to fault us for it

this game will be remembered as the game Sidney Lowe got sick, not the game where UNC got revenge and beat the shit out of us again and won by 20 points

if Sidney was really badass he would have attempted to get thrown out of the game before halftime. i'm not saying he should have, but that would have been pretty cool and the players may have focused better the second half.

and it doesn't really seem like it's all that serious, he probably just caught the norovirus or something and everyone is blowing it up b/c its Sidney Lowe

2/22/2007 8:07:03 AM

"No one loves college basketball more than I do. But at times like this, you get scared," Williams said.

What kind of quote from Roy is this (from WRAL)? What the hell does how much he loves b'ball have to do with Lowe being hospitalized?

2/22/2007 8:22:37 AM

Lowe should know that he really means something to the fans and this area in general since on WRAL he is the #2 story below the president, and he is way above the article on UNC winning

When did I say that they were the ones that would be practicing medicine. I said that all of those departments could help in research, not in practicing medicine. Go to UNC's hospital try to not find a Microbiology lab over there and then report back.

The Microbiology dept. could study some infectious diseases or help conduct classes for doctors that want to become Immunologist.

The Genetics dept. could help conduct case studies on patients with genetic disorders.

The Biochem dept. could maybe do research on conditions with protein deficiencies.

The Biomedical Engineering dept. could work closely with amputees in developing more comfortable prosthetics.

etc.
