Game Thread: Wolfpack Football at Wake (ugh)

And so the Pack’s biennial trip to Winston-Salem, with a superior team in tow, is upon us once again. Nobody needs to beat that particular statistical dead horse and/or remind any of us with a pulse what this trip has meant of late.

Bottom line…any Pack fan younger than 14 was not alive the last time State bettered the Deacs at their place.

And sure, maybe the Pack didn’t have the better team for every one of those trips. But more often than not. And of course, as I type this most books have the Pack as 10 pt road fave. So yeah, we got ’em right where we want ’em…I think.

Hopefully Vegas knows best, and hopefully the extra week has helped with health and preparation. Because not only is the road streak at Wake ongoing, but after opening 4-0 against the salad of the ’15 slate, the meat has punched back. State is currently on a two game skid which needs breaking before it snowballs into a season sinker.

It all gets underway at Noon. TV is on RSN (FoxSportsCarolinas locally) or ESPN3.

And aside from whatever extras (vids, links, pics and such) I decide to pepper this up with, that’s all I got folks. I spent way too much time at the fair on Friday.

Plus I got a date with a couple (or more) of hot guys early today. It’s the one year anniversary meeting of the OGORM Club (Old Guys’ on Road Mojo), founded roughly one year ago in order to bring the Pack mojo for a much needed road win (at ‘Cuse).

The “Old Guys'” part is sadly self-explanatory.

Last year we managed to help Wolfpack Football to a much needed win in the Heat Pump Dome to snap a then four game losing streak and get back on track for a post-season push. This year the streak is but two. But still, mojo be needed.

Thusly, we are once again making the sacrifice of having to gather for laughing, drinking and general merriment.  Hopefully the two year anniversary mtg will be merely ceremonial rather than mandatory, with the Pack sporting an unblemished first half.

Since founding, we’ve also gotten together for basketball and baseball at times. FWIW, the Pack has never lost in any sport when we’ve been together in toto. Seriously…I did the research.

Yes, we ARE awesome.

    Grinnage has been on the field today. But only as pass block as far as I’ve seen….which I found odd.

    And infrequently.

    There ya go for Grinnage. Too bad JB fucked up the toss.

    Thanks Wuf’. Then I’m guessing Grinnage still ain’t right, health wise, especially given Cook’s work at TE.

    Either that, or he’s in the dog house.

    Fox needs to fire whoever is directing this broadcast.

    You don’t conduct multiple questioned sideline interviews during gameplay you dumbsh!ts!

    That’s at least 2 now that’s taken at least 3 plays of coverage away from the broadcast.

    They’re making the ACC production crew look good, and that’s no small feat.

    C’mon Pack, nip this shakiness in the bud, now!

    It’s “FINISH” boys, not “START”.

    Show us.

    Go.

    Brissett’s play has steadily declined since the first quarter. Bad throws and bad decisions have taken over. That has to change to keep Wake out of the end zone.

    Time for the Rose and Jones boys to do something.

    After a 28-0 first fifteen, this should not be on the verge of shaping up to be a sphincter clencher.

    And yet…

    Matt Dayes has not been handed the ball in the second half.

    Good way to adjust away from what was working, Matt Canada.

    Brissett’s play has steadily declined since the first quarter. Bad throws and bad decisions have taken over.

    Matt Canada is also the QB coach. Must have made some adjustments for Brissett too.

    Somebody tell the idiot announcers that Rivers was the QB in 2001 that won in W-S.

    Gee whiz Alpha, they stopped him once or twice in the first half. He just pulled off 2 good runs.

    Haters gonna hate.

    Wake adjusted, we didn’t, no need to.

    Canada has nothing to do with the errant throws or the drop ball down the sidelines.

    Or even the missed FG.

    Canada isn’t an issue, today. The plays are there to be made.

    Wake has a shutout going, sort of. Glad they don’t play 5 quarters in these deals.

    Ok. Seen enough. End of rope reached.

    Time for kicker tryouts.

    Though the hold on that one looked a little suspect. Need to see replay.

    Either way, tryouts open.

    We need a kicker, not a cement mixer ….

    State ain’t never gonna break out of that 28 point first quarter with the current level of play. Gotta stick it to the Deacs.

    That actually was painful to watch.

    It’s been quite a while since State’s had a place-kicker this bad. 3-8 this year with his long being 36 yards.
