Farewell To A Legend


All of Wolfpack Nation bids a tearful and heartfelt goodbye to longtime women's coach Kay Yow, who succumbed to her long battle against breast cancer at age 66. Her impact on the women she coached and taught, the school she helped define, the sport she worked to catapult into national relevance, and the disease that she aided in raising money for a cure for will never be fully appreciated or completely understood. Yet, true to her nature, her legacy was never something she preferred to talk or think about.

The university, the conference, the city, the state and the nation lost an ever-so-rare hero today. We'll miss your your inspiration, your will, your optimism, and most of all, your smile.

May this morning find you alongside Jimmy V, drawing up Xs and Os in the clouds.

Rest in peace, Coach.
