NC State fans are ‘brewing
over Pack’s march to finals
United Press International
RALEIGH, N.C. — North
Carolina State’s march to
tonight’s NCAA championship
game with top-ranked Houston
has stunned many basketball fol
lowers, and left many Wolfpack
fans thirsty.
Beer consumption around
campus is running 20 to 25 times
above normal, and beer wholes
aler John Saputo said Sunday he
expects tonight’s game in Albu
querque, N.M., to reap record
sales.
Saputo said his distributor
ship’s volume has increased by
about $5,000 with each game.
And as soon as the Wolfpack
reached the Final Four, he said,
he ordered extra beer in anti
cipation of a championship
game.
“Last night, right after the
(semifinal victory over Georgia)
finish, we got frantic phone calls
THE
PERFECT
LOOK
FOR THAT
SPECIAL
DAY
Pierre
Cardin
Evan
Picone
Lord West
from about 18 retailers,” he said.
“They were begging for any
product we could get down to
them. So we took three trucks
down there and put out about
$50,000 worth of beer. That’s
about what they do in a month.”
Saturday’s consumption dif
fered from previous game days
because many North Carolina
State students had left campus
for the Easter holiday. An esti
mated 3,000 people went to a
campus crossroads called the
Brickyard to celebrate the Wolf-
pack’s 67-60 win Saturday, far
below the 8,000 who had
crowded the same scene after
North Carolina State edged Vir
ginia in the West Regional.
There will be no classes Mon
day since it is a state holiday in
North Carolina. But Lt. Gene
Price of North Carolina State’s
Public Safety Department said
he was certain the campus would
be full by tipoff.
NCAA celebrations have be
come a tradition around central
North Carolina. When North
Carolina won the title last year,
an estimated 20,000 people
went on a rampage in Chapel
Hill, painting the town blue and
draping trees in the downtown
area with toilet paper.
