GREENSBORO, N.C. — The son of North Carolina State basketball coach Sidney Lowe plans to plead guilty to a dozen charges connected to a March 2007 home invasion.
Greensboro attorney Locke Clifford said 23-year-old Sidney Lowe II will plead guilty Monday afternoon to six counts each of robbery with a dangerous weapon and kidnapping.
Clifford said Lowe II will also issue an Alford plea on a conspiracy to commit armed robbery charge for a shooting at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. That plea does not admit guilt but acknowledges evidence could convict him.
Clifford said Lowe II is expected to be sentenced during Monday’s hearing.
Brian Martin, 20, will also be in court to face his own charges in connection with the shooting.

There’s really not much worth talking about regarding NCSU right now. It would be a waste of time to spin hypotheticals on who will perform at what position on the football field. Or to dissect how we match up with South Carolina in our first game.
UNC out up a good fight in the CWS. I watched most of the games and I must admit it was a lot of fun.

It is that Russell Wilson is a heck of an athlete! Anyone who knows baseball could see that instinct that you are either born with or you’re not. A quick eye, quick wrists, patience, judgement at the plate, all of these things he showed in his limited at bats. He also looked quite good int he field reading balls, etc.
This from his bio: “Earned all-metro and all-state honors as a senior in 2007 after batting .536 with seven home runs and 29 RBIs … Also pitched and went 6-2 with 52 strikeouts and a 1.83 ERA … Was all-state in baseball all four years, and all-state in football as a sophomore, junior and senior … Chosen by the Baltimore Orioles in the 41st round of the 2007 MLB First-Year Player Draft”
It’s a little early to say he’ll be the next Brian Jordan, but he seems like a kid who is really smart on the field. I am excited to see how he performs on the football field now…

It’s the bottom of the eighth, but it seems as though we will win. Today’s game was great. Just all around respectable performance, well, except for Marcus Jones stealing 3rd with 2 outs! There is no situation where you should do that. Plain stupid and maybe cost us a run.
Brian Jordan has turned out to be a very good commentator, at least for the college game. I really hope to hear more of him throughout the CWS.
4pm Sunday baby! It would be the biggest NCSU moment since going to the Sweet Sixteen in 2005 if we could win this series.

clayton looked unhittable the first 2 innings. his fork ball is unreal.
in the end, they hit timely, we hit into double plays.
we made mental errors which led to physical errors.
we lost, they won. we didn’t play bad, they did play good.
a huge hole, i mean HUGE.
but we can come back. win saturday boys, don’t ever give up.

The Chicago White Sox are in first place of their division and don’t have a player batting over .292
Josh Hamilton went from Hall of Shame to potential Hall of Fame.
The State - UG game tomorrow is on ESPN. Great exposure for the team. I’m not going to do any analysis, let’s just see what happens tomorrow. It’s pretty simple though, we need to minimize damage that the top of the Georgia line up inflicts, keep the bottom half off base, and other than that just play good baseball.
Where is everyone watching the game tomorrow? I will be near North Hills mall, any place good around there??
