State/Wake Forest Game Thread

OK, I’m not made of stone. Despite my earlier pledge, I can’t help myself – I will be watching today, and the next two weeks. We need a win today against an awful opponent, then two road wins against mediocre foes. Then, NC State will be Atlantic Division champions for the first time in the divisional era, with a shot to redeem themselves against a lackluster Virginia Tech squad for their first ACC title since the disco era.

If that happens, I will forgive Tom O’Brien for his idiotic decision to punt against Clemson, although it remains 110% indefensible. There’s no asterisk in the record books for being extremely lucky to have been bailed out by the Holes and Canes last week. Now, for God’s sake, please go out and take care of business. And let’s hope for no more meaningful late game “strategery” opportunities. Because I have a feeling we will end up with the same result.

Wake is lousy. This game will be a laugher. Watch only to see if there’s evidence of a focused Wolfpack squad, with a better killer instinct.

    Lol, BJD, but I said the same thing last week, and am right back today. Guess that’s why we’re State fans, years of disappointment, and we line right back up to take it again. I hope the Pack rolls today, and builds some momentum for the next two….

    What can we say, Lucy has the football in position again. How can we resist lining up for the kick?

    BJD, I looked up masochist online just for kicks and could’ve sworn your avatar was in the right hand margin. 🙂

    Nice to have you back for round eleventy billion…

    I plan to go to Chic-fila with the kids and then go to the Awana’s pinewood derby race this afternoon.

    I am not going to subject myself to more of that crap. Maybe I will change my mind like you guys but I am pretty fed up right now.

    Rick, I was hurting as much as you last week. I’m still pissed about losing to ECU. But it’s like a train wreck, I can’t turn away. We should be looking at going 9-1 today. We missed our shot at a great season. I hope a good season is in the cards. And no, a 7-5 season is not a good season.

    Miami has a good QB and his name is not Harris.

    We do get sound on this cellphone quality broadcast at some point, right?

  8. Statefan1998 11/13/2010 at 2:42 PM #

    Bot on 520 yet?

  9. Statefan1998 11/13/2010 at 2:47 PM #

    Sound? Judging by looks of this knuckle heads it may be a blessing.

    Is there somewhere I can watch this game other than ESPN3? I checked ATDHE.net, but they don’t appear to have it.

    WF coaching will keep them in the game

  12. Ed89 11/13/2010 at 2:54 PM #

    Im searching right now, but no luck so far. Anyone know where I can get a radio feed?

  13. Statefan1998 11/13/2010 at 2:55 PM #

    520 in te Raleigh area

  14. BJD95 11/13/2010 at 2:57 PM #

    We don’t look very sharp at all. Not a good sign.

  15. McPete 11/13/2010 at 3:03 PM #

    I see our red zone offense continues to suck.

  16. redterror16 11/13/2010 at 3:03 PM #

    Wasted chance there

  17. BJD95 11/13/2010 at 3:04 PM #

    More red zone futility. But we surprisingly make the chip shot field goal.

    By my count, a Miami win means the Holes can’t win the Coastal unless UVA beats VT (which won’t happen). So, go Canes!!

  18. bTHEredterror 11/13/2010 at 3:04 PM #

    The red zone problems are baffling. We have an All ACC TE, tall WRs everywhere and a scrambling QB. It just doesn’t make sense.

  19. wvillepack 11/13/2010 at 3:05 PM #

    Acc champions score td’s with first and goal against wf. We got a field goal… Not pretty.

  20. BJD95 11/13/2010 at 3:09 PM #

    Agree with the prior commenter – Miami’s 3rd string QB looks really good. Way better than Jacory Harris.

    And the Pack looks like total dogshit.

  21. BJD95 11/13/2010 at 3:10 PM #

    And we run into the punter. Good Lord.

  22. Statefan1998 11/13/2010 at 3:12 PM #

    This is classic State… Nothing comes easy. This game shoulve been over half way through the 2nd quarter.

  23. wvillepack 11/13/2010 at 3:12 PM #

    D needs to play hard EVERY play!

  24. BJD95 11/13/2010 at 3:13 PM #

    Big sack by Lemon. Hopefully that wakes us up (no pun inteneded).

    Nope, they run up the middle on 3rd and 19 and fucking make it.

    Getting out coached…again.
