Blazer of glory

There will be no red carpet leading from N.C. State’s team bus to the visitor’s locker room inside the Smith Center this afternoon. But if there were, Wolfpack coach Sidney Lowe would inevitably cross paths with Ryan Seacrest and have to answer that meddling question. “Sidney, who are you wearing?” Lowe’s answer: custom-made jacket from George Saunders. Forty-six long. Matador red. This is the blazer — as bold as it is resplendent — that the State coach has turned into a motivational icon. (Fayetteville Observer)
