Purple PAIN…..Purple PAIN…..Oh, how I love the Smurf’s getting their just Purple PAIN…
BUT, I remember a Saturday last fall where WE got the Purple Pain (NO, I will not go there…). I was so mad that I almost burned the new Purple bath towel set that my wife had just ordered when it came in on Monday. I DID confiscate it and she did not get them un Christmas….but they were the wrappings on a WolfPack Pandora bracelet that I had made up….so she forgave me.
Listening to the post game on the way home….there was a basketful of “records” shattered….so far this season. And GH/JE/TH were still pulling them out.
Meanwhile in Green town, the there was a even larger basket of records being broken. At last count, the talking/writing wags were up to 30+. Half of them were “BEST” and the lads in Purple possessed all of the. The OTHER half were WORST since (FTB) and the Blue Smurfs were still wailing.
SO, even though we have not played a “power”, I will take the 4-0 record.
Curiosity….Check out the article or headline here.

This is on ABC11 or WTVD (D as in DURHAM). Did it EVER occur to the web whiz that there was ANOTHER story there? ECU is #23. Guess WHO entered the Top 25 at #22? Give that lad a cigar (bubblegum of course). Dave’s Dark Blue Clad Warriors….the DUKE (aren’t THEY in DURHAM??) Blue Devils. YEP, the local TV station posts an AP article and completely MISSES the local team’s entry into the elite. DOES that tell you about the quality and knowledge of the web folks?
SO, who KNOWS where we will finish? Personally, we are sitting better than UNX. UNX, bless their little hearts, has to play DaBO and the Orange Clad Tigers NEXT WEEK.
We don’t draw a much better LOT….but I would rather play FSU AFTER a close win that Clemson after a LOSS. JimBO (This should have been billed as the BO Bowl….sponsored by Bo Jangles….and there would have been a Promo today where if you wore Burgundy or Orange, you got a free JW Special….Crab Legs Biscuit and Iced Tea…
BUT, JimBO did, IMO, outcoach DaBO….I don’t know if convincing (jinxing) the Clemson running back that coughed up the ball and preventing a last minute score was all JimBO’s doing….much less the “force” of the tackling. He just DROPPED IT. JimBO DID have the plan….get on D and hold them and figure out HOW to score.
Looking forward to Saturday…..the Noles will be tough….and we may look like the team that many are berating (or perhaps NOT promoting) here….but I think that Coach D will make sure that we play well and not quit…
GO PACK….be at CF on Saturday….my 11 YO GS has exercised his right to my DW’s ticket and will be decked out in the BEAT FSU T that I bought him two years ago. MIRACLES do happen.
