Just got back from the first (to become annual) Basketball Tip Off Breakfast at the Arena Club.
AD Yow started off with a candid assessment of where NCSU Sports is - not just basketball but overall. Positive and negative. She acknowledged that Wolfpack Club support is amazing and overwhelming in light of the performance of our teams over the past decade and more.
She gave us the frank report that improvement is a process and won't happen overnight. She concluded with (and I'm paraphrasing) that she's a dog person, but said she was giving away her age by remembering the "Hang In There Baby" poster back in the 70's - paused, and then said to us - "You're the Cat".
LOL
I like candid, straightforward, no bullshit people.
Both Yow and new head coach Mark Gottfried seem to be those kind of folks. I think I like 'em.
Assistant coach Orlando Early sat next to Chip and me. We had a nice conversation. Good people.
My optimism is renewed.
Addendum
Couple of photos from the Raleigh News & Observer. Chip and I are in the second photo. Where's Waldo?
