2/21/2007 10:23:31 PM

2/21/2007 10:23:39 PM

well now it can be a get well soon Coach Lowe thread, quit whining.

2/21/2007 10:26:13 PM

Sucks that he had to leave. But wow, such passion! Herb never cared enough about UNC to get dehydrated!

2/21/2007 10:30:22 PM

dehydration is the cause?

2/21/2007 10:31:26 PM

Yeah. Most likely from vomiting/diarrhea. Must have caught norovirus.

2/21/2007 10:32:10 PM

from what i heard it is dehydration, due to the virus thats been going around

2/21/2007 10:32:42 PM

It is probably compounded by the fact that he was sick before the game and therefore wasn't getting enough fluids

thx for the update

the ppv is $15 here and i watch espn gametracker b/c the tdub thread is too hard to follow

2/21/2007 10:41:17 PM

It's another UNC conspiracy. They've kidnapped him.

2/21/2007 10:42:58 PM

this thread was actually great.. I just turned the game on and heard Sydney was taken to the hospital and i was like WTF?!?!

2/21/2007 10:44:27 PM

ok you fucking faggots, the man's name is Sidney

2/21/2007 10:48:08 PM

The ironic thing is he might not have been dehydrated if he didn't wear the red jacket

2/21/2007 10:54:26 PM

What hospital did they take him to?

2/21/2007 10:56:44 PM

UNC's hospital

2/21/2007 10:57:50 PM

duurrrr

2/21/2007 10:58:31 PM

irony

2/21/2007 10:58:32 PM

talk about adding insult to injury

2/21/2007 10:58:44 PM

"No... just take me to the Vet School... they'll figure somethin' out."

2/21/2007 11:00:30 PM

Anybody see WRAL's coverage of it? They had a graphic that said "For the Lastest Updates, Tune to WRAL"

2/21/2007 11:06:01 PM

wtf those bastards do to Lowe

2/21/2007 11:06:40 PM

WRAL said the same thing..left in ambulance with IV and oxygen hooked up to him...

2/21/2007 11:08:11 PM

2/21/2007 11:20:54 PM

its the top story on wral.com too.

2/21/2007 11:22:19 PM

poor sid. The one time I did make a trip to the UNC hospital the people there were about as clueless as towe being at head coach.

2/21/2007 11:23:00 PM

Proof Sidney is worth 20 points at least.

"Ill Lowe Taken to Hospital WEB ONLY: Coach Sidney Lowe's Pregame Conference Feb. 20 (unedited) Posted: 50 minutes ago Updated: 18 minutes ago Chapel Hill — North Carolina State head basketball coach Sidney Lowe was taken to UNC Hospitals during the Wolfpack's matchup against North Carolina Wednesday night. Family members reportedly were with Lowe as he was taken from the Dean Smith Center by ambulance. A witness said he was drenched with sweat and was given oxygen as he was wheeled out on a stretcher. School spokeswoman Annabelle Vaughn said Lowe was taken to the hospital after becoming dehydrated and receiving treatment from team doctors and emergency officials. Assistant Monte Towe coached the team in the second half. Lowe coached the first half wearing the same bright red jacket he wore earlier this month when the Wolfpack upset the Tar Heels 83-79 in Raleigh. He had reportedly suffered from flu-like symptoms prior to the game. This is Lowe's first season as head coach of the Wolfpack. He had previously coached the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Vancouver Grizzlies. He also was a point guard on the 1983 basketball team at N.C. State that won a national title."

^this was 4 years ago though, so maybe they aren't all clueless now.

2/21/2007 11:25:01 PM

please get better, we love you sid... the boys came out to play in the first half and its hard to know how strong we wouldve stayed with you still there

2/21/2007 11:35:33 PM

this Sidney character is really growing on me

2/21/2007 11:37:32 PM

dammit man... we need to hire someone to make sure he stays hydrated... just have someone follow him with a hamster bottle pouring water down his mouth...

2/21/2007 11:38:11 PM

^he had the flu. he shouldnt have been coaching at all today. don't blame this on him.

2/21/2007 11:39:27 PM

2/21/2007 11:39:30 PM

get him one of those camelback things.

[Edited on February 21, 2007 at 11:40 PM. Reason : ^ yeah that]

2/21/2007 11:39:57 PM

^Guys, you can't force fluids if you're just gonna keep throwing them up.

Most folks aviod putting anything in their stomach so as not to get sick if they're gonna be in a situation where that isn't appropriate. And then they get dehydrated.

He must have felt like absolute shit.

Such fans that they cannot even spell our coaches name right.

2/22/2007 1:02:18 AM

I know that when I have the flu I dont even want to get out of bed to walk to the bathroom...Sidney's a badass for even being at the game in the first half and keeping us in the game as much as we were

Once I saw Monte Towe as head coach I knew Lowe must be really sick...he wouldve had to be close to his deathbed to leave the State/UNC game at halftime with us down by 1

GET WELL SOON SIDNEY

2/22/2007 1:46:34 AM

i was really hoping that Sidney was going to wheel out to the court side with an IV hanging out his arm to finish the game

2/22/2007 9:49:01 AM

Haha. Either way, Sidney, I salute you for trying to coach us even though you should have clearly been in bed.

Get well soon!

2/22/2007 10:00:24 AM
