I'd like to just make a place to put all of the failures of our SID/Wolpfack Sports Marketing.

SFN has done a good job: http://www.statefansnation.com/index.php/archives/2010/04/20/how-nc-states-sports-information-department-really-works/
and
http://www.statefansnation.com/index.php/archives/2010/05/16/wolp-fack-nc-state-sids-office-in-action/
and
http://www.statefansnationforums.com/topic.php?id=1594#post-31054

but then there's this... it's not as big of a deal as the above but: http://www.gopack.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=9200&ATCLID=204959991

I don't understand it, they release the information three days before the event and want you to mail in a form for tickets? Am I the only one that thinks three days announcement on an athletic website during the offseason isn't enough time..? I'd really like to know how the attendance turns out for this, I hope they have some other ways of promoting this.


Also just making this thread for future reference.

i'd love to know the relationship between the angle of neck elevation required to view a movie on a small non HD screen from 50yards away and threshold of pain, from both 1,000 kids screaming and pooping, and from aforementioned hurt neck.

It's been on wolfpackclub.com for a while now. The group registration deadline was June 4th. I wanna say my kid got a letter (he's in the Junior WPC) about it a while back.

15.23 degrees, to the midpoint of the screen.

^3 good to know.

6/15/2010 2:45:11 PM

^^good to know

6/15/2010 2:48:12 PM

The simple answer to all of this is HOOPS MALONE for new Sports Information Director.

6/15/2010 4:28:20 PM

Who knows, now that we've gotten rid of Lee Fowler, maybe the Chancellor will clean house in this department, too.

6/15/2010 5:20:40 PM

I have a feeling the new AD, whoever that may be, will be clearing house in the SID as well. If he doesn't, then I will immediately lose a lot of respect for that person.

6/15/2010 5:25:28 PM

Guys, I want more information about Fun Night with Mr. and Ms. Wuf. Will there be a cover charge?

6/16/2010 3:10:33 PM

wonder how this turned out.

6/19/2010 8:22:14 PM

could any of you complainers give me a description of the SID's duties?

6/19/2010 8:24:59 PM

promoting the university's athletics, for one, and doing a shit poor job at that

Pack Pass is a good example: it's HORRIBLE. for the price people pay for it the video quality is horrible and there's very few events. I know for a fact they could be showing many many more events if they would work with others inside the university a little more

shameless plug

6/19/2010 8:29:10 PM

^no, I don't think that falls under the domain of the sports information department.

6/19/2010 8:30:11 PM

okay, sports marketing


there's plenty of examples in the OP

another: how many times during the basketball season were you informed by the ESPN commentators that it was the 100th season of UNC basketball. tons. now how many times were you informed by ESPN that it was NC State's 100th season, very little if at all (i don't remember hearing it, but i'm at every home game so it could have been mentioned at a home game)

now granted this might have a little to do with ESPN's love for UNC it also is a little bit to do with SID

Yes, NC State's sports marketing sucks.


Anyone else know what the SID actually does?

That's what Gopack says she does.

So.... what do they do that's so wrong?

(Several misspellings are #1 on the list. What else?)

turrible

6/25/2010 1:05:16 PM

Plenty of times that people have said she was a bit of an ass to reporters calling the SID office as well.

6/25/2010 3:57:04 PM

rumor has it that she likes to fuck all the black athletes
