Belk Bowl Drenching: Wolfpack vs Cowbells

Yes, I know Mississippi State’s mascot is the Bulldog.  Don’t care.

Those of you who will be in attendance, or anywhere in the Charlotte area really, get used to it.  And stock up on headache powders and ibuprofen.  You’ll need both.

The Wolfpack will go for win number eight today in what promises to be a very wet, and possibly lightning delayed affair.  Time will tell.

Game time is set for 3:30pm, TV is ESPN.

Gameday Central

For NC State, this game offers up an opportunity to match last year’s win total, while also adding a victory over a respected program from the highly-touted SEC.

“It would be a big statement, but at the same time we played a lot of top-25 teams,” Rose said. “UNC was a top-25 team, Louisville before the season was top-25, and Clemson is the number one team in the country. Those are three of our losses. We’ve played some good football and we’ve played some really good teams. At the end of the day, the SEC is the SEC. They’re considered the premiere conference, so a win against one of their better teams would be good for us.”

Wednesday’s contest will be a bowl rematch between two schools who faced off against each other in the 1994 Peach Bowl, a game that was won by NC State, 28-24. The two programs have scheduled home-and-home matchups for the future, with Mississippi State visiting Raleigh in 2020 and the Wolfpack making a return trip to Starkville the next year.

This will mark NC State’s 29th postseason bowl appearance. The Wolfpack owns an all-time bowl record of 15-12-1, but has prevailed in seven of its last 10 bowl outings.

The last time the Pack was in the Belk, this happened….

State went on to defeat the Cards 31-24.

Go Pack!!!!

    Way too easy for them to move the ball. I hesitate to say it this early, but feels like this game is already over.

    Hux looks like Santa the day after he forgot to tell the elves to load the sleigh.

    Did we actually use the 20 extra practices? It’s not evident.

    I presume we’re waiting until they are good and lulled into a false sense of security.

    Sounds like being at work and unable to watch the game is a good thing.

    Once again, this staff fails to have the team ready to play at the opening kickoff.

    Only Hines has shown any fire thus far. What gives ???

    Looks like we don’t have many players that want to be on the field today.

    They’re clearly a lot stronger and faster than we are. It appears our current staff doesn’t have the acumen to develop any kind of game plan to neutralize this fact. Our best hope for winning seasons going forward is more “Turd U” scheduling.

    Btw, Miss St is impressive so far. They would have done some damage this season if they were in the ACC.
