State beat the lucky sperm club (wake forest), Syracuse, and the tar holes; hardly the basis to proclaim a resurgence of State’s fortunes. Close as a pubic to Monica’s lips, the Pack was awful close to dropping a game it had in hand the other night.
If State were down by a TD and needed to recover an on-side kick and score another TD in less than 1.5 minutes — an on-side kick we failed to recover — and we started claiming we were within a c-hair of winning, we would be laughed out of town. I think the same goes for claims that we were that close to losing. Sure we could have lost but THAT close? Be for real.
There is a constant I have observed during my long suffering as a State man: State measures it’s success in context to the failures of the holes. I would suggest that ending the mental symbiotic relationship would be a healthy first step. Measure success and failure in objective rational manners, stop equating chapel hill with the base line for improvement. Measuring against the holes only deepens the paradigm they sought to impose long ago, they are the beginning and ending of all things.
I think we got us a case here of McCallum seeing the world through his own eyes. I don’t see that here on SFN. Perhaps McCallum needs his eyes checked.
Are we basking in our current success while enjoying EweNC’s current misery? Guilty. But all this BS? I don’t think so.
