The first thing that should be a slapping wake-up to Wolfpackers is that LSU replaced us with SYRACUSE! And this is FOOTBALL, not basketball. Hell, maybe we should have followed ASU to the Sun Belt Conference; at least we’d get to play the Mountaineers, who would generate a hundred times more interest than Troy (or Georgia Southern and South Alabama).
I sympathize with those of you, who, like me, have LTRs at CF. After 19 years, this may well be my last season too. The OOC home games aren’t worth the paper that the tickets are printed on anymore, and like someone said, if you can’t go, you can’t GIVE these tickets away. Plus, ACC officials have ruined our league rivalries with Duke, GT and UVA, plus have not allowed us to develop ones with VT and Miami. And I’ve heard nary a complaint from the NCSU brass about the screw job we’re getting with scheduling as the league continues to expand and hand over more and more control to television.
I said it on here a few months ago and I’ll say it again: NCSU sports needs a thorough housecleaning, from administrators to coaches. Never has any ACC school spent so much in an endeavor to be relevant with such dismal results as has North Carolina State University. I don’t mind paying for the rights to hold my seats for the rest of my life, but I sure do mind having to sit in them every Saturday as long as we continue to bring in substandard opponents far from our state borders.
I’d rather go play quality teams on the road than host cupcakes. Eating cupcakes will not build a strong program, and we are living proof!
