Game Thread – Wolfpack Football vs Colonels of Eastern Kentucky

Another week, another hopefully mojo generating game thread.

With sincerest apologies to Muddy Waters, today feels like a day for the The King….

Thank you….thank you, very much (/smoldering sneer).

Some good feelz in Wolfpack Nation this week already, as Gott and Co. took to the skies and landed the top PG prospect of the 2016 class.

Yay!!!!

Just think how much better he’ll look once we get him outfitted in RED!!!!

 

In an effort to generate some extra mojo, the Pack will be observing Blackout Rules tonight.  Players will be doing their #PackInBlack thing, and fans are ‘uhsposed to be doing the blackout thingy too.  Though I’ll be duly impressed if we don’t have a Black and Red mosaic which looks decidedly maroon from a distance.  But I’m a pessimist today, so….yeah.

 

Some folks that didn’t honor the (process) mojo factor today maybe/probably…

Maryland got spanked at home by Bowling Green by a final score of 48-27.

Louisville also fell at home, losing to the Phootball Phi Slamma Jamma’s.  The 34-31 final send the Cards to an 0-2 start.

Auburn had a close call, but ultimately survived in OT vs JaxSt, 27-20.

 

For a little Eastern Kentucky flavor, I give you “The 21 Foot Rule”….

RIP cousin Danny.  And look out for that hole next time.

 

And last, but by no means least, I’d be remiss if I didn’t again include the fight song(s)….

Go Pack!!!

    Troll, did you put any coin on clempson to cover 19 spread.

    I did not. Too early for me to be taking too much action just yet, but I did get the Michigan spread and lost it back on Rutgers spread. Got some dough on the Ducks/MSU over 67 though… hoping the defenses stand around and scratch their asses, but even if they don’t I still like it.

    Oh, and the Vols are looking mighty good with a 14 point lead over Boomer. Butch Jones got it going on in Knoxvegas.

    BJD, to reference your earlier query…I have no clue about TV for the ODU game. Originally, I thought ASN might be analogous to RSN, but apparently it’s not. FWIW, nearly all of ODU’s games are listed as ASN. Which makes me think next week will be a TV dead zone thingy.

    Oh, I woke the teenagers up whooping at the Everton fixture this morning.

    thought the ACC had a contract with ESPN to broadcast ALL of their games.. my assumption is it’ll be on espn3.. if not guess it wouldn’t pain me to have to watch some SEC

    Hopefully, yes.

    BJD, it was very enjoyable seeing Brendan Rodgers and the Scousers look completely clueless in Old Trafford. Benteke did bury the early leader for Goal of the Year, though.

    BTW…I called correctly the Black/Red mosaic = maroon.

    A couple of Colonels got demoted by the Wolfpack’s blocking on that return. Not one but two blasts as Cherry streaked by.

    The home team controls the teevee coverage. So the ACC/ESPN3 deal means nada. I am hoping for FoxSportsGo, maybe.

    I saw 3-1, and even though I knew it meant Utd ahead of my Blues, it still meant another kick in the nuts to the Shite, and I smiled contentedly.

    Boy does South Carolina stink again this year. Down 17-7 to UK.

    Considering that I can’t see the game, at least the score looks more like it.

    Nice throw by Jalen McLendon while he was rolling out, which he follows up with another short completion.

    I think we’re going to be okay after Brisette.

    A LOT better discipline and execution in the second half. We’re playing a lot of younger kids now.

    Interesting article via Twitter:

    26% of parents with high-school athletes think they’re raising a pro. Most of them are wrong. http://nyti.ms/1K14n2l

    199 yds on the ground. So close.

    Pack completes the shutout.

    Alpha, without even reading the article, I’ll guess that the actual number of high schoolers becoming pros is more like 0.001%

    Boomer Sooner rumbles back and top the Vols in 2 OT. Bad day for the SEC.

    Is ‘Troll channeling his inner ’44?

    Here’s hoping that the outstanding work of the 2nd-stringers on offense jumpstarts the 1st team. A decent performance overall, but the first half was so underwhelming. The worst part for me was Brissett fumbling once and then attempting a terrible throw while already in the grasp. No need to play hero ball against EKU in the 2nd quarter.

    I found this link to ASN

    Enter your zip code into “FIND YOUR STATION”. Mine showed five outlets. No idea which one might be carrying the game.
