First quarter, Wake is not impressing me. They catch a huge break on a missed called that gave them the ball on about the 15, and they scored. Ole Miss just drove the length of the field for a TD, so we are tied with 4 in the 1Q.
Michigan’s bowl streak is going to end this year. They’ve got a good defense, a ton of athletes on offense…but they don’t have a QB and their OL sucks. They’ll win three or four games tops.
Ohio State…not the #1 team in the country. Ohio State vs. Clemson would be interesting.
Ole Miss taking to wake forest. they have a pretty good qb in snead. i never heard of him before today.
phillypacker,
the game is on xm radio as well. but you’d probably know that already if you have xm, which is just about the greatest thing that’s happened to my jeep lately.
UVA only up 3 against Richmond in 2nd quarter. Clemson not having any trouble with The Citadel. How about GT? Jackets are looking like the surprise team of the ACC thus far.
We really need WFU to win b/c I don’t see much of a chance for the U against Florida tonight.
Pirates off to a good start against WVU … and I think there is 0% chance of a ‘U’ win tonight in the swamp
If Wake loses at home to Ole Miss the bowls the ACC has tie-ins for might start looking for a way out
Edit: San Diego St. is now up on Notre Dame 7-0 … This is the same San Diego St. that lost at home to Division IAA (FCS) Cal Poly-SLO last week … I love it
A win tonight for us (the Pack) would be great - no matter how close … A loss wouldn’t shock me … If the field is in good shape though I think we could hopefully have a big running game tonight … Go Pack
Part of the registration process includes a drop down list, asking for your “college” affiliation.
Every school, large and small, in America that fields an athletic team regardless of NCAA division is listed, except one rather large state university.
Anyone care to guess which school was omitted? (BTW, I had to choose VMI, which I attended for 2 years).
I am not looking forward to playing ECU. The worst possible type of opponent. Dangerous, yet underrated with a multitude of vile, obnoxious fans that are within a close proximity of us geographically. Brilliant move Jed. Especially in our weakened state.
Um - is it possible after tonight that the only ranked team in NC will be ECU? How is that for a scary thought. Can we get them in the ACC? As much as we’d hate it - they sure look good.
Evans likes to throw picks deep in our own territory too, which is nice. i thought there was a highscool QB we recuited last yr who TOB converted to a LB. Why cant we get a competent QB?
Defense saves D Ev’s
Pull him now! I was thinking before the season started that a 5th year senior should play his best ball his senior year. I guess Daniel Evans doesn’t believe in logic.
and to be fair, Evans hasnt been able to set his feet yet. the O-line is awful too. But you cant put the ball in those positions, especially deep in your own territory
seriously. assuming the staff is adament about redshirting Glennon, who is our emergency 3rd QB? maybe a WR (Owens?) Several years ago it was Brian Peterson.
Washington scores w/ :02 left in the game to cut it to one but something is going on for the PAT - either a penalty or they may be going for two (or may have missed it) - I don’t have a live feed
EDIT: Washington misses the PAT or went for two and missed and they lose to BYU 28-27
Well if that is the case, then Evans should not throw another pass tonight. Just run the fucking ball every play, seriously. If we can’t get 4 ypc against William and Mary, there is no hope.
I never thought I would see the day where William and Mary is a better team than NC State in every facet of the game. They have a better offensive line, better quarterback, better receivers, better defensive line, better linebackers, better secondary, and apparently better coaches.
Ole Miss ties the game with 1 min’ left on a 4th & 3 from the 7.
Snead is just awesome - Ole Miss is going to be very good going forward.
PTA good, Ole Miss is up with 1:01 on the clock.
as if not being able to execute and hit a wide open reciever on a simple drag route is not bad enough, the kid has no mental clock in his head. that sack was completely avoidable.
I do not care how barren the cupboard, there is absolutely no reason to suck this bad, and looks this weak, against a mid-tier I-AA team.
Our coaching staff is paid A LOT of money to put a product on the field. We have top-notch “fuh-cilities” to attract quality players and train them at a high level once here.
This is an “emperor has no clothes” moment, but this (in year 2) is a horribly prepared and terribly coached team.
Thanks Philly -
Ole Miss didn’t break my heart, but ohhhh, we were so close. Still big stride for the Rebs.
And for the ACC, that was a big win - Wake will stay ranked, but they are VERY beatable.
Great quote by W&M play-by-play guy on the last pass by DE: “If the ball had been close to on the mark than {insert W&M player name} would have been in great position for the ball.”
In other words, we are not only off the mark with the pass, but off the mark to guy who has defensive player in better position than our offensive player.
notice how after 3 seconds in the pocket he kept moving his feet and checking through his options. He looked off Williams twice before finding and throwing a perfect dart.
Quite a statement by the Pirates … They’re not even rushing the field … Check that, now they’re starting to get out there … and I don’t mind watching the ECU coeds running around
the feed on ACCSelect is the same as what is played inside the stadium on the jumbotron. Therefore, we get to see all of the shameless commercialization. This also means we are missing roughly 1 of every 5 plays.
Our athletics department is more concerned with making a dime than with putting a product on the field/court. Its disgusting, frankly.
Some of the characterization of Beck as fat and lumpy is off the mark. He is wearing a blocking vest (for obvious reasons) that bulges around his mid-section. I do think he is a fairly hefty kid, but that is not a pot belly, people.
I live down here in greenville, and skip just signed a contract extension and the chancellor has said they will do whatever it takes to keep him. So, it doesn’t look like he’s going anywhere soon, but I don’t think it will be too long before he parts ways with the pirates. FYI it is very hard to be wolfpack fan in greenville, pirate fans are terrible to be around.
Tell me about it wolf pack, I live it every day too.
Though I don’t believe that Skip will remain in Greenville no matter how much ECU tries to sway him if the Big Boys ($$$) come calling. ECU just doesn’t have the dough to win a bidding war.
Think Pirate fans are bad? (I know they are, but they are damn fun to date - if that is what you call it ;)) try living with Alabama fans in Alabama. You all are aware that Bama won the next 3 national championships last weekend in Atlanta right?
Auburn did not look impressive. and Ohio State & Michigan? man, they did not look strong. How are the Badgers doing Dr. B?
First quarter, Wake is not impressing me. They catch a huge break on a missed called that gave them the ball on about the 15, and they scored. Ole Miss just drove the length of the field for a TD, so we are tied with 4 in the 1Q.
So the age old question is there anyplace to hear the game besides packpass? It’s not on accselect.
Michigan’s bowl streak is going to end this year. They’ve got a good defense, a ton of athletes on offense…but they don’t have a QB and their OL sucks. They’ll win three or four games tops.
Ohio State…not the #1 team in the country. Ohio State vs. Clemson would be interesting.
Correction…OSU…not a top-5 team. Obviously, they are not #1.
Ole Miss taking to wake forest. they have a pretty good qb in snead. i never heard of him before today.
phillypacker,
the game is on xm radio as well. but you’d probably know that already if you have xm, which is just about the greatest thing that’s happened to my jeep lately.
Wake needs to get their offense going. Skinner has not been making good throws so far and the line is not picking up the blitz.
UVA only up 3 against Richmond in 2nd quarter. Clemson not having any trouble with The Citadel. How about GT? Jackets are looking like the surprise team of the ACC thus far.
We really need WFU to win b/c I don’t see much of a chance for the U against Florida tonight.
Wake puts together an nice drive - but if this is the top team in the league, the ACC is even more trouble then I thought.
I do like Gannon as the play by play guy. How can we get him promoted over Mushed-burger?
couldn’t agree more Noah - Ohio St-USC next weekend is going to be a total blow out in favor of SC.
Pirates off to a good start against WVU … and I think there is 0% chance of a ‘U’ win tonight in the swamp

I just registed for the game on ACCSelect.com.

Just wanted to confirm that the game can be seen on ACCSelect.
Man, ECU is going to at least be the highest ranked NC team after tonight.
^Pirates are playing great, but still a long way to go in this game
Very impressive performance thus far, though … offense really doing it’s job in helping keep WVU’s offense off the the field
Keep scores coming for those of us in the stadium. Go Aztecs!
ECU will not be underrated if they win this one.
“ECU will not be underrated if they win this one.”
Deservedly.
Ole Miss goes up on WFU 21-20 in the 4th.
UVA up 3-0 on Richmond in the 4th.
Clemson pummeling Citadel 42-7.
CORRECTION - SDSU scores and it’s 13-7 SDSU halfway thru the 3rd …
Ole Miss just scored and leads Wake 21-20 w/ 14:00 left in the 4th - after a WFU muffed punt
BYU finally ahead of Wash. 28-21 w/ under 2 min. to play
Oklahoma has pulled away from Cincy - 42-20 late 3rd
UVa still holding a tenuous 3-0 lead over Richmond late in the 3rd
get Daniel Evans OUT OF THE GAME NOW!
Didn’t take DE long at all to throw an INT….
Gonna be a long season.
Daniel fucking Evans strikes again.
Goddamn. Just goddamn.
Evans likes to throw picks deep in our own territory too, which is nice. i thought there was a highscool QB we recuited last yr who TOB converted to a LB. Why cant we get a competent QB?
Defense saves D Ev’s
Pull him now! I was thinking before the season started that a 5th year senior should play his best ball his senior year. I guess Daniel Evans doesn’t believe in logic.
If O’Brien trots that kid out there for the next series, I have serious questions as to whether we hired the right guy.
nice start Dan
WFU scores and it’s 27-21 Wake w/ 11:00 to go
get him out now!
Boooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nice D, please put in Harrison
3rd pass of the game, Evans hits defender in the hands again. Fortunately, he dropped it.
Still Evans!!
almost throws another one at the 20! GOD DAMNIT, PULL THE KID NOW.
LET A WIDE RECIEVER JUST RUN OPTION PLAYS ALL NIGHT!!!!
DAMNIT!!!!
Beck must be performing horribly at practice if he hasn’t replaced Evans yet!
Daniel Evans, how I loathe thee. You, and your incessant interceptions and your elephant hair goatee.
and to be fair, Evans hasnt been able to set his feet yet. the O-line is awful too. But you cant put the ball in those positions, especially deep in your own territory
seriously. assuming the staff is adament about redshirting Glennon, who is our emergency 3rd QB? maybe a WR (Owens?) Several years ago it was Brian Peterson.
Washington scores w/ :02 left in the game to cut it to one but something is going on for the PAT - either a penalty or they may be going for two (or may have missed it) - I don’t have a live feed
EDIT: Washington misses the PAT or went for two and missed and they lose to BYU 28-27
Well atleast Notre Dame is just as bad as us!
defense gives up another 3rd and long. we really do not look good. i detected lethargy when they ran out onto the field
Just fyi - Beck is NOT warming up to go in.
How in the hell is EZU so good?
“Just fyi - Beck is NOT warming up to go in.”
Well if that is the case, then Evans should not throw another pass tonight. Just run the fucking ball every play, seriously. If we can’t get 4 ypc against William and Mary, there is no hope.
Pirates are throttling WVU on each line-of-scrimmage … Pirates up 17-3 and driving while eating tons of clock in the 3rd …
WVU body language says they are beaten … not a good sign for them
horrible.
even more horrible.
VT is horrible too! The ACC blows!
3 and out. lovely.
we will be lucky to win a game this year
Maybe our defense will score.
I predict our punter’s leg falls off around game 6.
I never thought I would see the day where William and Mary is a better team than NC State in every facet of the game. They have a better offensive line, better quarterback, better receivers, better defensive line, better linebackers, better secondary, and apparently better coaches.
Run a fake punt with Pierson! He’s the fastest player on the team, maybe he can break one.
“we will be lucky to win a game this year”
We will be lucky to score this year.
1st time in the red zone this season… bjd is right. defense is the only way we will score.
TD Andre Brown! 1 st TD in 9 Quarters and we get an unsportsmanlike. Class, Class, Class!
Lou led Bill and Mary back in the day.
it’s not impossible.
touchdown!! Now let’s go Defense!!!!
Im pretty sure they don’t have a better D or recievers. But Nate is a beast and gives me hope for our future D!
thank you Nate Irving for scoring that TD.
TD Pirates - they are destroying the Mountaineers on the line … It’s 24-3 w/ 6:00 to go in the 3rd
Wake still leads 27-21 but Ole Miss has the ball on the WFU 25 yd line w/ about 3:30 left in the game
ND down 13-7 at the end of the 3rd.
Ole Miss driving, down 21-27 with about 4 left in the game.
Can Nate play QB?
Almost exactly what I asked for. Give us the ball inside the 10 and we can score - provided we don’t throw the ball.
Having DE is bad enough. But having a poor receiving corps that cannot help him out just kills it all! And it won’t help HB or Glennon either!
BYU blocked the PAT and beats Washington. Longest winning streak in the country preserved.
long run by Bill and Mary, we suck
Nate Irving is something to behold.
Ole Miss gets a break on a pass interference call on 3rd and long … they have it now 3rd and 8 from about the 12 yd line … 1:45 to play
EDIT: It’s 4th and 2 from the WFU 5 yd line … timeout Ole Miss w/ 1:26 remaining
Keeping Evans in at this point is cruel. He is HORRIBLE.
esoterica: fumble forward on 3rd gets the roll.
who knew?
end of 1st quarter: 0 1st downs.
24-3 ECU at the end of the 3rd
TD Ole Miss on the 4th and 2 play
27-27 - PAT pending
Damn, Wake is bout to lose on a crazy 4th and 2 TD!
I don’t think its possible for the ACC to look worse! Unless we lose.
Ole Miss ties up Wake at 27 all. Extra point is good. 28-27 Ole Miss w/ 1:01 to play
Ole Miss ties the game with 1 min’ left on a 4th & 3 from the 7.
Snead is just awesome - Ole Miss is going to be very good going forward.
PTA good, Ole Miss is up with 1:01 on the clock.
PAT is good
28-27 Miss w/ 1:01 to play
So STATES TD is a defensive one? Am I getting that right?
as if not being able to execute and hit a wide open reciever on a simple drag route is not bad enough, the kid has no mental clock in his head. that sack was completely avoidable.
dogbreath, is the game on accselect?
audio or audio and video?
yes.save yourself six bucks, though
I already paid packpass $9. You have video?
WOW! Pass interference on Ole Miss … WFU will have the ball at the Ole Miss 35 yd line (or about) w/ :19 left
CORRECTION - it was the 29 yd line … 3rd and 5 from the Miss 25 yd line - 12 seconds left
damn, how bad do we suck
Man, ECU is making a big statement here. If they keep playing at this level they will absolutely destroy us.
WFU setting up for a game winning 41 yd FG att w/ :08 seconds left
Sam Swank on to attempt a 41 yarder to put Wake ahead w/8 seconds to play
Swank hits it, Wake up by 2 w/ 3 seconds to play
FG is GOOD … WFU 30 - Ole Miss 28 w/ :03 remaining
I am listening to William & Mary announcers. It is amazing how we make every defense we play look like All-Americans.
it’s over and Wake wins
It’s over … WFU wins
OMG: the ACC wins one
I do not care how barren the cupboard, there is absolutely no reason to suck this bad, and looks this weak, against a mid-tier I-AA team.
Our coaching staff is paid A LOT of money to put a product on the field. We have top-notch “fuh-cilities” to attract quality players and train them at a high level once here.

Beez,
Nate Irving intercepted at the 6. Brown scored from 3 yards out. Dogbreath, got video?
27 yards of offense, 0 first downs.
no excuse for this.
Evans throws 3 feet behind his outlet, and misses on a simple pass out of the backfield.
crowd is booing vociferously, and rightfully so.
Thanks Philly -
Ole Miss didn’t break my heart, but ohhhh, we were so close. Still big stride for the Rebs.
And for the ACC, that was a big win - Wake will stay ranked, but they are VERY beatable.
In more disturbing news, Notre Dame is ahead of SDSU 14-13 and has the ball deep in SDSU territory w/ only 3:00 to play …
UVa scores a couple of times in the 4th and has defeated Richmond
another 3 and out???? this team is hard to listen to, cannot imagine having to watch this sh#t
Great quote by W&M play-by-play guy on the last pass by DE: “If the ball had been close to on the mark than {insert W&M player name} would have been in great position for the ball.”
In other words, we are not only off the mark with the pass, but off the mark to guy who has defensive player in better position than our offensive player.
Beck taking snaps, getting warmed up! Hallelujah!!
ND goes up 20-14 with 2 min’s left.
Daniel Evans career ended this evening at 7:09pm EST in Raleigh, NC. It was terrible.
RIP.
What’s even more depressing…
Think about how much money ECU & Wake have invested in their football programs. Then think about how much we have, and look at the results.
Feel better?
This game is comical.
Comedy is fine, as long as we win. In the end that’s all that is remembered.
Cruddy crud … Notre Dame will pull this one out over the west coast power that is known as SDSU
Well our secondary is much better than I expected this year
I cannot understand how men who are 6′3-6′5 and 290-300 lbs cannot contain another similar sized man for 3 seconds, even without holding.
End of the first, Maryland tied with Middle Tenn State 0-0, Northwestern up 7-0 over dook.
our receivers make Beck look worse than he truly is. They never seal off the DBs.
Wow unreal
WVU’s last, desperate hope falls short … They turn it over on downs and it’s 24-3 ECU w/ 2:30 to play
The first 1st down of the game with what ~90secs left. Geez…
Kushner blew his knee out.
can we not run the ball? wtf
nice check down read and delivery.
wow…what is that they say about a blind squirrel finding an acorn every once in a while….
Great going, Beck!!! Keep it up!
touchdown motherfucker!
Wow we THREW a touchdown
notice how after 3 seconds in the pocket he kept moving his feet and checking through his options. He looked off Williams twice before finding and throwing a perfect dart.
headline:
HB beats DE.
only Gary Hahn could mistake a player for a flag.
Nate Irving down.
W&M Announcer: “that fellow (beck) seems to have a much stronger arm than the previous QB (evans)”
LOL…I dare you to find me a QB in the NCAA that doesn’t have stronger arm than DE.
It’s over in Greenville … 24-3 FINAL
Quite a statement by the Pirates … They’re not even rushing the field … Check that, now they’re starting to get out there … and I don’t mind watching the ECU coeds running around
how long was the pass
22 yards.
I want to beat a #8 team….
There’s a flag down on the field … CHECK IT … It’s a Wolfpack defender …
If the staff ever tries to put Evans back out there, I think the team may walk off the field in protest.
However, Beck is still pretty reckless with the ball. Against a better defense, he will turn the ball over. He sucks, just not as bad as Evans.
at home: ECU gets all the Close Calls and wins.
WFU gets no calls and wins, anyway.
Bang the Drum Slowly.

I wonder where Holtz will be coaching next season?
I bet it isn’t Greenville.
Skip Holtz just won his way out of ECU.
Their reporting that Nate Irving is fine and will play.
father/son as head coach at same place?
W&M? NCSU? Minn? ND? Jets?….
Skip Holtz will be at Clemson
FG, Tribe. No shutout today.
“Skip Holtz will be at Clemson”
Just imagine what he could do with the talent that Tammy has had at his disposal.

did Beck just run and put that weighted gut to use.
Dog….you pay to play.
“at home: ECU gets all the Close Calls and wins.”
This had nothing to do w/ the refs. ECU just kicked there ass. No contest.
Is Toney Baker out indefinitely?
Some of the characterization of Beck as fat and lumpy is off the mark. He is wearing a blocking vest (for obvious reasons) that bulges around his mid-section. I do think he is a fairly hefty kid, but that is not a pot belly, people.
It will cost Holtz to leave Greenville, he just signed an extension with raise. Others will most likely pay to get him out, either way ECU wins.
Dog, did you not see the team photos with the QB’s?? The only fitness training Beck did all summer was 12 oz curls.
Jiga….40’s?
Seems like ECU always end up with the coaches that could of been at State. Pat Dye, Bill Lewis, Steve Logan, Skip Holtz.
I do think Beck is somewhat out of shape, but he is no Brandon Costner.
Did everyone one know that Chris Long is the league leader in sacks this season with 14.0?? HONEST!! It was on the scoreboard, it must be true.
Dog, Beck is most definitely in shape.
Round is a shape.
incredible throw and catch
nice jig
state has 30 yards rushing with 7 mins left in the 3rd quarter
Beck just threw a 47 yard completion…off his back foot.
TOUCHDOWN WOLFPACK!
absolutely perfect pass for the TD. perfect touch.
Wilson was the holder on that PAT. Very interesting to see him out there. And good.
TD - George Bryan has really nice hands and footwork. He’s tonight’s revelation.
The most thankful people in CF for the offense from beck are the defense.
Beck: 13 for 19 w/ 179 yards and 2TDs
Nate Irving is amazing.
holy shit that kid got absolutely RUINED.
Middle Tenn 10-7 over Maryland at the Half
Northwestern 17-10 over Duke at the Half
Long live ACC Football
Hopefully Miami will at least be competitive. Very early, but so far so good. Something has to give.
I live down here in greenville, and skip just signed a contract extension and the chancellor has said they will do whatever it takes to keep him. So, it doesn’t look like he’s going anywhere soon, but I don’t think it will be too long before he parts ways with the pirates.

alright, sounds like Beck has things moving the right direction - thank heavens.
Tell me about it wolf pack, I live it every day too.
Though I don’t believe that Skip will remain in Greenville no matter how much ECU tries to sway him if the Big Boys ($$$) come calling. ECU just doesn’t have the dough to win a bidding war.
Miami kicker drills a 50 yd FG and it’s now 7-3 Florida early in the 2nd qtr
phillypacker “Is Toney Baker out indefinitely?”
He returned to practice this week. I don’t think he is taking contact but he will return soon.
Thanks graywolf
Think Pirate fans are bad? (I know they are, but they are damn fun to date - if that is what you call it ;)) try living with Alabama fans in Alabama. You all are aware that Bama won the next 3 national championships last weekend in Atlanta right?
