Seems like our marketing team has done it again. Twitter handle is no longer "Pack 9"

Noticed that today. I'll ask my source inside if he knows why

Because our athletic branding is run by an ECU fan.

So? She can't be a fan of her alma mater?

No? You don't think that's a conflict of interest?

Not at all. Was Willis Casey being a UNC grad a conflict of interest? Was Bobby Purcell being a UNC grad a conflict of interest? Is Annabelle Vaughan Myers being a Clemson grad a conflict of interest. How about Wally Ausley being a UNC grad. Most of the people in the AD's office are grads and fans of their schools. They just work at and help promote NC State

The great majority of people who work for NC State Athletics did not attend NC State.
Some posters like to keep it real. Real dumb.

There's a difference between not attending NC State which is fine and attending a local rival, especially one as resentful as ECU. Promoting your ECU fandom professionally with the "Pirate For Life" slogan is ridiculous and should be disqualifying to work with NC State athletics.

UNC alum Ted Turner presided over the destruction of our basketball program as AD.

UNC alum John Swofford presided over the ACC. Do we think he was just doing his job with no bias?

There isn't anyone from a non rival school or even better an NC State person that can handle our branding?

Wouldn't that be a smart move to put someone who is genuinely passionate about NC State athletics in charge of how our programs are publicly branded for the fans and others?

UNC is our biggest rival, but there isn't any fanbase that hates NC State more than ECU fans.

Even beyond the ECU stuff, they are just doing a generally ****ty job and appear completely out of touch with what NC State fans want.

I don't care if they went to school on Mars..... their branding sucks.

I believe Ted was busy running his network in Atlanta but Todd did exactly what you described.

I'll tell you if you're worried about the so-called ECU plant wreaking havoc on our social media, then we're in a real bind since our new chancellor, Kevin Howell, is a graduate of NC State and he received his law degree from UNC Chapel Hill. He also worked for the UNC school of medicine before he became the chancellor here at NC State.

Its really unfortunate Wade's comments has turned into a crusade from people who have no concept of what they're talking about regarding every aspect of our branding.

Changing the handle to that makes total sense - just use #Pack9 as a hashtag.

Its fine, its logical, you want people to find you easily who don't already.

Of all the things to complain about, a twitter handle is not one lol.

I agree. No one is keeping anyone from calling the team Pack9. It makes sense for the official Twitter account of the team to have the actual team's name on it. Saw a tweet once from a coach encouraging recruits to change their social media handles to something easy to find like their name and number instead of "bigballer69" or whatever. Makes sense.
Some posters like to keep it real. Real dumb.
