Well, we only have about 5 hours left in 2010, at least in NC State’s (and my) home time zone. This isn’t going to be a long “recap” post, but I do think we should spend a few moments reflecting on the first steps we took towards ending our 2+ decades of wandering in the […]
Seriously, Delaware State? Pack Narrowly Avoids Humiliating Upset
Here’s J.P. Giglio’s writeup. I didn’t watch or listen, just saw the score on the ticker of Boise State vs. Utah, so I don’t have any real analysis. But…wow. Just wow. This is Year Five of NC State’s version of the Clyde Drexler experiment. Thank God we finally have a real AD. Much like jolly […]
Tuesday Update – TOB and BJD Now Singing From Same Hymnal
Not that Tom O’Brien has any idea who I am, or that many of you care. But what I read in the newspaper this morning was extremely reassuring: “If we were a great team, we’d be in the final,” O’Brien said during an interview Monday in his office. “But we’re a pretty good team. And […]
The Symmetry of Loserdom
I remember sitting in Carter-Finley on Philip Rivers’ Senior Day. State was choking against Maryland, and with under three minutes to play, the Terps missed what would have been the game tying extra point. I swear to God, I turned immediately to my family and said “Great, now we will lose in regulation.” Which we […]
It’s Business Time – Maryland Game Thread
I’m sure Bret and Jemaine would agree – it’s business time for the Pack this afternoon. And a business-like performance will get it done. Maryland has to be a bit fragile after a tough home loss knocked them out of Atlantic contention last week. So we need to step on the Terps’ collective throat early […]
Coples, Reddick, Davis Should Be Suspended
It has been announced that UNC LB/thug Kevin Reddick will inexplicably be eligible to play this Saturday. Sadly, there’s not even any mention of DE/bigger thug Quinton Coples – who should be done for the season, including bowl game. The best video of the catch and subsequent Reddick punch was shot by WTVD and can […]
Game Ball, Kevin Reddick (and Owen Spencer)
Thank the Lord Mr. Reddick decided to wake up the sleepwalking Pack. Because once awoken, NC State played its best football all year. And we will play for the Atlantic Division title next week in College Park. And what awareness by Owen Spencer to catch a tipped knuckler in the end zone. Without that, not […]
State/Wake Forest Game Thread
OK, I’m not made of stone. Despite my earlier pledge, I can’t help myself – I will be watching today, and the next two weeks. We need a win today against an awful opponent, then two road wins against mediocre foes. Then, NC State will be Atlantic Division champions for the first time in the […]
Inexplicable Coaching Call = 14-13 Loss
There’s plenty of blame to go around today. But Tom O’Brien’s weak-willed, brain-dead, unfathomable, inexcusable call to PUNT on 4th and 1 from the Clemson 40, down 1 point with 3:30ish to play was hands down the stupidest thing any non-Les Miles football coach has ever done. Boy do I feel stupid for what I […]
NC State/Clemson Open Game Thread
At long last, game day is here. On a cold and rainy morning in Raleigh, it’s nice to have a road game to watch from the comfort of our living rooms. A win today keeps NC State in the driver’s seat for the Atlantic Division, and puts Tiger bowl hopes in serious jeopardy. See you […]
