“anywhere but Rawlee is where you oughta be. So Lee sold the Lake House and his job was histo-reeee.”“…. well, not quite. LOTS of buzz from West Rawlee regarding terminally embattled AD Lee “Uncle Jed” Fowler. In a survival race between Lee Fowler as AD at NC State and “Big East Teams” in The Final Four; Fowler stood alone at midnight Saturday. A death watch clock has been set up outside the Everett Case Center for the latest much-maligned NCSU Athletics Director. ….. Meanwhile on picturesque Franklin Street …..

What is “A BIG DEAL”? Along the Gulf it might be “the oil spill”. In Nashville it might be “the flooding”. Arizonans have their new law. New York City has that thing in Times Square. ….. But in “the Triangle” all that is “piffle”. The Lee Fowler Era of NC State Athletics flatlined at noon Tuesday. The Wuff folks said “Jed, move away from here ….”.

Remember the term Fair & Square? I’m not sure of the origin of the phrase – an adaptation of a Visigoth oath …. an Amish prayer ? I’ve never heard Kid say the phrase. When I was a kid we said it a lot.

It was usually said to someone who had bested you in some competition – “Well, you beat me fair & square….. so you get my baseball card collection and my Green Hornet decoder ring. I want a rematch.”
