Those of us who grew up around here remember those commercials. “That’s the time to take BC” . It was a headache / pain / hangover reliever in powder form…it competed with Goody’s (if memory serves correct.)
Well Saturday the wolfpack needs to do exactly that. We are in a similar position as we have been in before with DD’s squads. After a decent start that got some attention, we have failed to completely silence the doubters…fair or unfair.
A win over BC would be a solid start to the final 3rd of the season. It is going to be tough. It looks like Saturday will be raw. No one will be in the stadium, the ground and football will feel like concrete.
There’s still a ton at stake for the Pack. NC State can still have it’s best season since 1979 (arguably) and get it’s most conference wins ever. A 7-1 record would also give pack a share a of the division championship for the first time ever.
While the golden ring is no longer available, it’s time for this staff and program to differentiate itself from its predecessors.
To me, this game is all about toughness and discipline. We seen what happened in the past to DD’s teams in these situations…last year it was Louisville, in 2014 it was a terrible performance at Clemson that saw us down 30-0 at the half.
Like those games, this week we have a nooner on the road against a team that is on a roll. Saturday will tell us a lot.
1) Don’t turn the ball over
2) Don’t give up anymore 70 yard runs
3) Don’t get beat on special teamsMauled at ND, losing to Clempson on mistakes/coaching so this one should be of interest.

Saturday will tell us a lot.
True, but then there is alot to learn every Saturday.
State’s four ACC wins have come against:
– FSU (3-4)
– ‘Cuse (2-3)
– L’ville (2-4)
– Pitt (2-3)Remaining schedule:
– BC (3-3)
– WF (2-3)
– UNC (0-6)It’s time to see where State really sits in the conference.
Cute title Chop’ but…
The old farmer gave me a BC ONE TIME for a headache or something…
chased with water…NEVER AGAIN!!!
——————————–NOW… as to the matter at hand…
We only need to do one thing to win the football game with Boston College..
Win the THIRD QUARTER and play our game the other three!
I’m thinking we got IT in US!
GO PACK! All the way to 10-2….
POP!!!
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Well done, Chops.
Right now, all I can think of is chowder and how awful it would be for State to base 42. Gimme mo’ Pratt with the usuall suspects. He’s a safety in Wolves clothing, anyway.Mauled at ND, losing to Clempson on mistakes/coaching so this one should be of interest.
Cut the excuses, Mac. We lost to a better team.
Mac is right we had a number of mental errors that need to stop. Grey is right too, no excuses go get it done.
Cold raw day in chowderhead country, after two hard losses…. time for the Pack to show what it’s made of. I know this can go either way but GO PACK!
A little more than 12 hours…man, we need this one. I really want this team and these guys to accomplish something special.
I hear ya Chops.
There are bunch of ex’s feeling the same.
In fact, sittin’ on the deck as the weather gets nippier, just to grip it.
Yep cow – I am hoping that how bad we want it is a hint of how bad our guys want it. Huge game… even though it may mean nothing to rest of the nature, it’s all about changing a tone and expectations
Cut the excuses, Mac. We lost to a better team.

Three damn plays away from being undefeated in conference. The stupid a$$ release guys not laying the boom on McLeod of Clempson coupled with 7 missed tackles to follow and then after flipping the field giving up ANOTHER 70 plus yard run from scrimmage.
Pardon the hell out of me but that is coaching up on side and down the other.
I’m not going to count the Finley pick since their QB threw one and State converted the points.
The final score should have been 31-24 PACK.
And yes, ND MAULED THEM.
McCallum
Finley and the offense waste a good return by Hines…
Boone saves the day with a INT in the endzone…Come on Boys! Step this up — NOW!!!
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Might be time to take a COAT too…
Ya’ll thought it was cold this morning in North Carolina…
Gary and Johnny reporting the wind chill factor on the field at BC is TWENTY THREE degrees!
It takes more than a hot bowl of chowder to fix that….
