#Gameday: Pack in Black

 

It is GAMEDAY, but it doesn’t feel like it this afternoon. Every game in which I seem to have any real interest is not actually scheduled until tonight — which, of course means that those games will generally overlap with where I will physically be present in Carter-Finley.

 

In addition to what hopes to be a fun day and night in and around Carter-Finley…it is also a HUGE night/weekend for NC State recruiting. Emmanuel McGirt and Nyheim Hines are expected to be in Raleigh along with 12 to 15 high schoolers from the class of 2015 and another 25+ potential targets from the 2016 class. The two supposedly want to play together and we were able to get McGirt through his visit to Athens, Georgia last weekend without committing. As you can see below, it looks like Hines had a pretty decent night last night…

 

Speaking of football recruiting…look who spent some time hanging out last night?

 

Heading into today, I REALLY liked the Vegas action of NC State minus 16/16.5 points. That is, I really liked until I saw the following:

I’m sorry…I think I still like the Pack to cover tonight!

    I think it’s safe to say State’s D is just as awful in 2014 as it was in 2013.

    Can’t stop the run. Can’t stop the pass. Gonna be a long, long season.

    I don’t know if we can win another game.

    They must be pretty solid on D, held the Holes to 80 last year.

    If you’re not starting to lose faith in DD then you must not be watching Season 2 Episode 2. Let the excuses begin.

    The good news is that basketball practice starts in a couple of weeks.

    I wonder if the hoops team could beat ODU?

    Got really lucky on that perfect onside kick.

    well there’s the first thing that went right. If we didn’t make that 4th down conversion DD would be dead in the water.

    We will win whatever games we win with offense. Should start going for it on 4th almost every time.

    Words I didn’t think I’d hear this game:

    “And the Old Dominion defense holds”

    The “it could be worse” file. Stephen Rivers was 3-14 for 32 yards and a Pick Six today. Vandy has zero offensive points through 7 quarters of football so far.

    Ugh, Smooth Operator shank. This is doubleplus ungood.

    The level of Suck has spread to Smooth Operator.

    I don’t get to a chance to make the games anymore (kids sports every weekend) so I’m normally stuck to watching on the tube. Since we are never on TV anymore and my internet is dirt slow for ESPN3 I also settle for ESPN GameCast for this game like most others it seems.

    What I’m reading (since I can’t watch it) is our 2nd game out is still a flashback of last year with a different QB.

    Is this true? Are we really that bad all over again? I didn’t expect miracles and I know we have work to do. However, this is not what we should look like again this week against freaking ODU!

    Please say it’s not this bad again in person! I’m naturally optimistic by habit but I don’t like the sound of this. Is it this bad…really?

    Pen out means this getting reversed. It’s clock/yardline stuff.

    Getting worked by ODU, LMFAO. It is what it is. Wolfpack football got a lot of work to do.

    At least we aren’t gonna cover the spread.

    Looks like we will go into the half only down 4, which almost qualifies as a miracle.
