4/3/2009 1:07:28 AM

man I was about to go to sleep and then this shit happens

not that anything new's gonna come out tonight anyway

4/3/2009 1:11:41 AM

i'm antsy...i just want to know one way or the other

keg party at the bell tower if it turns out to be true

4/3/2009 1:19:42 AM

haha i remember when i was criticising fowler on here and my track coach caught wind of it and i had to right a letter of apology to fowler or i wasnt going to be allowed to participate


haha, dammit my teammates thought it was funny tho

Actually the more I think about it, the angrier I get.


No member of the NC State staff has been as public a show of failure and ineptitude as Lee Fowler.


Why the FUCK should any other person, from Janitor to Professor Emeritus, get laid off while this assclown keeps his job? It's inconceivable.

Sorry about that. Since the track team does awesomely, I will disregard the fact that you can't spell at 1:20 am.

4/3/2009 1:28:48 AM

haha it probably hit too close to home when the 'lunatic fringe' turned out to be an athlete under him (Fowler)

also Fowler's birthday was Apr 2nd, they probably just called an emergency BOT meeting because they forgot to sign his card

don't underestimate the power of some nc state shit here

That's because you don't know what you're talking about. Henry is arguably the top prospect in the nation. They don't put clauses like that in there for just anybody. UAB wouldn't do it for Cousins and you think we'd do it for Brown? We may voluntarily release them from their LOIs if Lowe is fired, but that's the only way it would happen. At this point I don't see why we would want to release them either, they committed to State not to Lowe no matter how much the media might want to portray it differently.

Excuse me, almighty fountain of knowledge. If you can provide me a copy of the LOI's they signed that have nothing about release if Sid is fired, go ahead, and I'll believe you 100%. However, the possibility would have to be left open that we would do anything to get a player like Brown, possibly including a clause in his LOI that he could look elsewhere if Sid were fired. I don't give a damn what UAB did.

wow, you're delusional. sure, the school plays it's part in their decision, but the majority of it comes down to the coach.

4/3/2009 7:26:25 AM

of course the powers that be at NCState would follow one of the best decisions they have made in the last decade (firing fowler), with one of the worst (firing Lowe).

4/3/2009 7:40:24 AM

^ yep, "nc state shit"

4/3/2009 7:54:24 AM

My take on it all is that Fowler had better leave before Lowe.

I don't know how you blame a guy for poor performance when he has never at one point in his entire life shown he was capable of the job he was hired for. So who do I blame? The man who hired him. It's like paying a blind man to paint your house and then complaining about the work.

I will say I think he made a good hire in football. 50% correct gets most people fired. I dont see how this job is any different.

4/3/2009 8:19:43 AM

yeah and he doesn't deserve full credit for that hire anyways

4/3/2009 8:23:11 AM

This is funny. Thanks for the humor this morning guys.

4/3/2009 8:36:55 AM

I dont think I have ever seen this message board so united as when they are talking about getting fowler the fuck out of here.

That takes some large levels of fail to pull off getting TWW to agree.

true but I've also never talked to a State fan anywhere that liked Fowler

4/3/2009 8:52:37 AM

ventured over to statefans. my mind was blown by the amount of idiots that were wishing this was about Fowler AND SID getting the boot.

4/3/2009 8:53:11 AM

^so you think sid is the right guy or he needs at least one more year?

4/3/2009 9:03:36 AM

^^^ it's a joke. I think it would take $Arab to get him here.

4/3/2009 9:14:39 AM

From ruffles31 at StateFansNation: "I just heard from a confidential source with very high contacts that they were told that Fowler was fired.

This is ironclad. This is a good day."


Anybody know if this guy is anywhere approaching credible?

4/3/2009 9:18:29 AM

Fowler in Detroit for the final four. Wow. He shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the NCAA tournament. They shouldn't even let him buy an average joe ticket to the first round. In fact I'd support the boosters wasting money on flying him to a location that is on the geographic opposite part of the world as the final four. Let him build a facility out there.

if there was one wish i could be granted today would be to find out "who" all these people that say "My contacts say..." or "What im hearing is..." are getting their information from........or if its just another website or they're just making baseless comments

Fowler won some award for excellence just last year from the University Administration.

They're not gonna fire him unless the reason why is on the front page of the newspaper.

4/3/2009 9:51:14 AM

ya'll so crazy

4/3/2009 9:54:58 AM

administration != WPC/donors, the money is what talks when it comes to revenue sports

for what it's worth Fowler gave Herb a big vote of confidence and support not long before he was gone

I don't think anything is coming of this, but I'd like to be wrong

4/3/2009 9:56:13 AM

^Not too many ADs would have fired Herb his last year.

They have improved drastically in other sports and their financial revenue and facilities have improved 200% since he took over. They got a new baseball stadium and a new press box for Kidd-Brewer. Basketball, football, and baseball sports have all improved since he took over. You know, progress, like Lee Fowler hasn't shown. Those are the money sports.
