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.

    He should have caught it. COWDOG, that was a receiver letting down his QB 🙂

    Nate is a first rounder. Graham can’t catch a cold.

    I like how tob is giving Payton, smith and Howard reps. They are the future next year.

    I guess the boys just wanted to rest for the first half?? Better play a full 60 minutes next week!

    Jekyll and Hyde. If only this team were consistently effective we would be undefeated and Top 10 nationally.

  15. tann84 11/13/2010 at 4:54 PM #

    Come ON Virginia!! Hopefully this game is a jump start to our offense and we can score like this on UnC next week!!

  16. McPete 11/13/2010 at 4:55 PM #

    If only we could play Wake Forest every week, we’d be undefeated and in the top 10.

  22. Statefan1998 11/13/2010 at 5:00 PM #

  23. BJD95 11/13/2010 at 5:00 PM #

    Why the fuck are our defensive starters still doing in the game?

  24. tann84 11/13/2010 at 5:01 PM #

    it didn’t look good @Statefan1998

  25. tjfoose1 11/13/2010 at 5:02 PM #

    Manning will be fine… he got his shin hit by the backside of cleat. Hurts like a b!tch, but not really an injury.
