Herb Sendek Moves On

The news this weekend is that Herb Sendek has taken a job at Arizona State. He cited the disgruntled fans as the reason.

Good for Herb, I say. Some so-called Wolfpack fans don’t deserve a coach of his caliber. He’s getting a fat raise and a new beginning at Arizona State.

Now the Pack will spend the next three years “rebuilding,” while Dook and Carolina roll to more championships. No need blaming anyone else: the Pack gets what it deserves.

On a related note, I take issue with Ned Barrett’s implying all Pack fans wanted this, which is not the case. Maybe Ned wanted a comedian to interview after the games. All I wanted was a coach who wins with class.

So long, Herb. I wish you all the best. You may not be a comedian but you’ll most certainly have the last laugh.

Mario To Go Pro

In a move surprising no one, N.C. State defensive end Mario Williams Will Enter The NFL Draft. Mario should do well in the NFL.

I remember watching Mario on the sidelines as a Pack prospect. He was huge, at 6′ 7″ he towered over many of the other players. Over time, he has learned much about the game and has proven to have a great grasp for it. The Pack will miss him. Hopefully his success in the pros will reflect on N.C. State.

Bowl Bound

I’m off this morning to Charlotte to see the Wolfpack play the Bulls of University of South Florida in the Meineke Car Care Bowl. Joining me for the drive will be my brother Jeff and my dad. We will meet my buddy Scott at the game. Should be fun.

The long drive should give me time to consider my annual year-end list of Top Ten Blogged Events. Its been another interesting year and I’m looking forward to reviewing it.

See y’all on the flipside, 10-4.
