Belk Bowl Drenching: Wolfpack vs Cowbells

Yes, I know Mississippi State’s mascot is the Bulldog.  Don’t care.

Those of you who will be in attendance, or anywhere in the Charlotte area really, get used to it.  And stock up on headache powders and ibuprofen.  You’ll need both.

The Wolfpack will go for win number eight today in what promises to be a very wet, and possibly lightning delayed affair.  Time will tell.

Game time is set for 3:30pm, TV is ESPN.

Gameday Central

For NC State, this game offers up an opportunity to match last year’s win total, while also adding a victory over a respected program from the highly-touted SEC.

“It would be a big statement, but at the same time we played a lot of top-25 teams,” Rose said. “UNC was a top-25 team, Louisville before the season was top-25, and Clemson is the number one team in the country. Those are three of our losses. We’ve played some good football and we’ve played some really good teams. At the end of the day, the SEC is the SEC. They’re considered the premiere conference, so a win against one of their better teams would be good for us.”

Wednesday’s contest will be a bowl rematch between two schools who faced off against each other in the 1994 Peach Bowl, a game that was won by NC State, 28-24. The two programs have scheduled home-and-home matchups for the future, with Mississippi State visiting Raleigh in 2020 and the Wolfpack making a return trip to Starkville the next year.

This will mark NC State’s 29th postseason bowl appearance. The Wolfpack owns an all-time bowl record of 15-12-1, but has prevailed in seven of its last 10 bowl outings.

The last time the Pack was in the Belk, this happened….

State went on to defeat the Cards 31-24.

Go Pack!!!!

    You ’bout to be down by 1 Troll.

    Indeed.. I had no lean one way or the other, but just wanted some action on this one. If the first play from scrimmage was any indication of how they’re going to own our line maybe run some quick slants and draw plays for a little while.

    What a disaster. Hope JB can shake it off and make better decisions the rest of the game.

    In fairness to JB…that wasn’t exactly his missed blocked.

    I’m not typically one of the uniform police around here, but I really don’t like these uniforms for State. Needs more red.

    As a 5th year QB playing in a pouring rainstorm in a big game against a quality opponent, he has to know better than to throw that ball. It’s as simple as that.

    Yes, the missed block was bad, and that wasn’t JB’s fault, but you know some blocks will be missed and must react better.

    I’m switching between this thread and the monkey board. They are already in Fire Doeren mode.

    A nice little turnover would be nice right about now.

    Glad I got some higher ABV IPA’s… looks like we’re clearly the inferior team after the first 6 minutes.

    Substitute depressed wolf song. IN FACT, Matthew Houck uses “wolves” as allegory FOR depresion. HOW APT!

    And seriously, one of the 10 most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. Take your mind of the beating and listen.

    I might be able to eat dinner early…so I got that going for me.
    That and copious amounts of alcohol just waiting to be consumed.

    I drank all my Lagunitas “Li’l Sumpin Sumpin” during MNF. My Donks damned near killed me.

    Those fancy new unis is looking a bit….let’s say “muddy”, as I don’t yet want to use the word “soiled”.

    I got Cowbells for 22 pts on my
    Bowl Mania picks.

    They got more and better horses with more experience against better opponents.

    Plus, Jacoby can’t throw worth a lick in wet weather.

    I don’t expect it to be close.

    Need to get on the horn to Trestman. We can’t protect for anything longer than a screen.

    If we can’t do anything but give it away we are doomed.

    That was better than the fumble I was certain was coming on the flea flicker. Almost a punt.
