Pump up time! To bowl, or not to bowl?

HUGE game for the Wolfpack today! (Link) All the marbles on the line — either Tom O’Brien will go to his third bowl in five years at NC State…or he won’t. We will either have two straight winning seasons…or we won’t.

Joe Giglio sets the table for you here…but nobody did a better job of setting the historical backdrop of today’s game than our very own ‘ruffles’ in this fantastic entry. You can click herefor CFN’s take on the game; and Caulton Tudor projected a similar score (link).

The regular-season finale finds the Wolfpack (6-5, 3-4 ACC) with a lot more to gain than anyone could have guessed three or four weeks ago. It’s hard to remember that Maryland (2-9, 1-6) started the season with that impressive win over Miami. That game must seem like a million years ago to Randy Edsall. Wolfpack, 31-14.

    Empty stadium for the second half?

    There is plenty time left in this half to score big time: DY run down to the bench and send TOB’s butt to the locker room.

    Do not panic!!!!

    We get a fumble. Now can we get a quick score?

    Glennon’s gotta get his head out of his ass or we won’t be able to recover.

  7. ldr of the pk 75 11/26/2011 at 2:20 PM #

    chalk one up for the good guys. oops almost spoke too soon.

    What a joke of a football program. We have one of the weakest schedules in college football and we can’t get bowl eligible. Even when it’s handed to us on a silver platter- all we have to do is beat a team that’s imploding and they are walking all over us.

    Until this year I was a TOB supporter- I’m all done!!!

    Glennon is 7’5″ and still gets passes batted down.

  10. WolftownVA81 11/26/2011 at 2:23 PM #

    Another blocked pass. I haven’t said this all year but Glennon is not very good. Looks like he’s not improved at all from the beginning of the season. Good arm but just doesn’t seem to have any awareness.

    Good score!!

  12. hoop 11/26/2011 at 2:25 PM #

    There is a chance!

    Too little, too late

  14. WolftownVA81 11/26/2011 at 2:25 PM #

    28-14, still hanging on.

  15. Lumbeeindian17 11/26/2011 at 2:26 PM #

    It’s still the first half yo

  16. bill.onthebeach 11/26/2011 at 2:26 PM #

    Ok– got another TD… need an onsides kick right here.

  17. ldr of the pk 75 11/26/2011 at 2:27 PM #

    Overall, Glennon has been good this year. Not great, but good for his first real attempt. RW would have made us marginally better this year, we’re still stuck with our “system”.

  18. WolftownVA81 11/26/2011 at 2:27 PM #

    Can’t kick either. Gave it to then on the 40 on the out of bounds.

  19. eas 11/26/2011 at 2:27 PM #

    Regardless how the $hit fest turns out today Yow has got to do something about this coaching staff.

  20. Wolfpack93 11/26/2011 at 2:28 PM #

    So far, the highlight is watching tj’s comments go from accusing others of being chicken littles to covering his own head from falling clouds.

    If DY does nothing else for us in the offseason, can she at least find us another team to play in the last game of the season??

  21. Mike 11/26/2011 at 2:28 PM #

    NO EXCUSE!!!!!!!! Many of us were fearful of this game for this very reason. There is still time, but this is ridiculous.

  22. WolftownVA81 11/26/2011 at 2:28 PM #

    We get another fumble. They are giving it back.

  23. hoop 11/26/2011 at 2:28 PM #

    I request we do away with cuss word censoring.

  24. nav 11/26/2011 at 2:29 PM #

    If, big if, we pull out this game then that would mean that GOOD Pack will show up in that game since it seems thay play every other game.

  25. WolftownVA81 11/26/2011 at 2:29 PM #

    Nope we didn’t recover the ball.
