Apologies if this has been posted before, but I searched and didn't find it.

gopack.com has a poll posted for pack fans to vote on the best game ever played in Carter-Finley - part of the 40th anniversary celebrations for the stadium. Video highlights of the top 7 vote-getters will be displayed during home games this season.

I really enjoyed reading the descriptions of the 20 games you can vote for:

"Top 20 games at Carter-Finley Stadium

1. NC State 42, Virginia 21, Oct. 29, 1966: Carter Stadium opened two weeks earlier with a 31-21 loss to South Carolina. On this day, however, head coach Earle Edwards, who long pined for a modern stadium to replace the crumbling on-campus Riddick Stadium got his first victory at the Wolfpack's new home.

2. NC State 13, North Carolina 7, Sept. 16, 1967: The night before this season-opening contest, Wolfpack linebacker Chuck Amato convinced his teammates on defense to paint their shoes white with the case of shoe polished he bought from the Man-Mur Barber Shop on Hillsborough Street. Thus inspired, the Wolfpack beat the Tar Heels for the first win in an eight-game winning streak, thanks to a 55-yard touchdown pass from Jim Donnan to Harry Martell. It was the first of eight games that year that the "White Shoes Defense" held an opponent under 10 points. It was also the first game in a day-night double-header at Carter Stadium, with Duke and Wake Forest playing later in the day, the first only time in the history of the Big Four that the quartet played each other on the same day in the same location.

3. NC State 28, North Carolina 26, Oct. 6, 1973: Out to a 21-3 lead behind the leadership of quarterback Dave Buckey, NC State needed fourth-quarter, fourth-and-one touchdown by running back Willie Burden to seal the win over the Tar Heels, to break a two-game losing streak. The win sparked a four-game winning streak that season to give the Wolfpack its only ACC Championship of the Lou Holtz era.

4. NC State 12, Penn State 7, Nov. 9, 1974: Coming into the game, the Nittany Lions had the nation's top-ranked rushing defense, but it was a third-quarter defensive stand that won this game for the Wolfpack, ending an 11-game losing streak to Penn State. Running back Stan Fritts gained 112 yards, rushing for one touchdown and throwing an option pass to Pat Hovence for the other. The Wolfpack defense - guided by coordinator Al Michaels, a Penn State grad - stopped the Nittany Lions on four straight plays after a first-and-goal on the 6-yard line. Michaels received the game ball for his defensive squad's performance.

5. NC State 8, Florida 7, Sept. 20, 1975: Trailing the 13th-ranked Gators 7-0 with less than four minutes to play, Wolfpack defensive back Dan Meier recovered a fumble on the Florida 38-yard line. On the next play, Dave Buckey hit Elijah Marshall on a post pattern for a late touchdown. Holtz sent sophomore Johnny Evans in as a fullback, and he took the pitch in for a two-point conversion to give the Wolfpack a much-needed win.

6. NC State 27, Indiana 0, Oct. 4, 1975: What happened in this game may have been even bigger than the upset of Florida, because of the legacy it left. After sitting on the bench the first three weeks of the season and not making the trip to Michigan State for the fourth game, freshman Ted Brown was elevated to the varsity team for the first start of his career. He rushed for 121 yards and two touchdowns in this game, then added 106 yards and two touchdowns against North Carolina in the Wolfpack's next home game, a 21-20 victory that was saved when the defense stopped a two-point conversion attempt with 14 seconds remaining. Brown went on to become the ACC's all-time leading rusher with 4,602 career rushing yards, a title he has held for more than a quarter century.

7. NC State 24, Maryland 20, Oct. 1, 1977: The Terrapins came into the contest riding a 21-game ACC winning streak and a three-game winning streak over the Wolfapck. The Terps led 20-17 in the final minutes of the game, when quarterback Johnny Evans engineered a remarkable 69-yard drive. He scored the winning touchdown on a two-yard dive with 27 seconds remaining. The next week the Wolfpack won at Auburn.

8. Penn State 9, State 6, Nov. 10, 1979: In perhaps the most heartbreaking home loss in school history, Penn State earned a last-second victory over the Wolfpack when Herb Menhardt's wobbly kick bounced off the right upright and through the goalposts with one second to play. The Wolfpack had taken the lead with a 72-yard scoring drive with 1:18 remaining and was ready to celebrate the stunning victory over Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions, especially when they were backed up in a fourth-and-24 with time expiring. But a 36-yard pass to earn the first down left Paterno just enough time to get Menhardt on the field to attempt the game-winning kick.

9. NC State 28, Duke 7, Nov. 17, 1979: Defensive back Eric Williams had three interceptions in this win over the Blue Devils that clinched the Wolfpack's seventh ACC title in 22 years. However, despite being conference champions, the Wolfpack did not go to a post-season bowl game, being overlooked in favor of North Carolina for the Peach Bowl and declining an invitation to the Garden State Bowl because it conflicted with the school's exam schedule.

10. NC State 27, Clemson 3, Oct. 25, 1986: In a season that was defined by comebacks and close finishes, the Wolfpack scored a virtual blowout against the No. 16 Tigers in a game regionally televised by CBS. It was the first home win over a ranked team by first-year head coach Dick Sheridan, who guided the Wolfpack to an 8-3-1 record in his inaugural season."

"11. NC State 23, South Carolina 22, Nov. 1, 1986: When the clock expired, the Gamecocks were leading, 22-17, thanks to the heroics of quarterback Todd Ellis, who erased an early 17-0 deficit. But when several South Carolina players taunted NC State quarterback Erik Kramer at the line of scrimmage on the final play, they were flagged for being offsides, giving the Wolfpack one final play from the USC 33-yard line. The Wolfpack sent four receivers to the end zone, and a hobbled Kramer scrambled away from the rush and threw the ball in the direction of three of them in the south end zone. Danny Peebles, a track-star-turned-wide-receiver, found himself open and caught Kramer's wobbly pass for what is probably the most exciting finish to a game in school history.

12. NC State 43, Duke 43, Sept. 1988: History may not remember this tie as a great game, but there were certainly some offensive fireworks going on at the fairgrounds. The two teams combined for 979 yards in the contest, as NC State juggled its quarterbacks on rushing and passing downs. Shane Montgomery came in to throw, while Charles Davenport was in to run the ball. Montgomery threw three touchdown passes to Nasrallah Worthen to tie the school record, and Damon Hartman connected on a 37-yard field goal as time expired to force the tie.

13. NC State 28, Georgia Tech 21, Oct. 5, 1991: Thanks to a pair of defensive touchdowns, the Wolfpack scored its second consecutive win over a ranked opponent, defeating the defending national champion Yellow Jackets. Linebacker Tyler Lawrence returned an interception 32 yards for a score and Ricky Turner returned a fumble 26 yards for another score.

14. State 24, Duke 23, Nov. 15, 1994: For nearly three quarters, 18th-ranked Duke controlled the game, owning a 23-7 lead with eight minutes to play in the third quarter in front of a crowd of 53,900, the largest to ever see a game in this series. The Wolfpack's comeback began with an 82-yard pass from Terry Harvey to Adrian Hill on a third and eight from the Wolfpack 8-yard line. In the fourth quarter, Harvey hit a 53-yard bomb to Greg Addis to set up a field goal. And Harvey hit a 2-yard pass to Mike McGuffie with 5:50 remaining to give the Wolfpack their first lead of the day. The Blue Devils missed three field goals in the fourth quarter, including a 51-yarder late in the game. Afterwards, Wolfpack fans tore down the goal posts in celebration of the win that propelled Mike O'Cain's team into the Peach Bowl, where it beat Mississippi State 28-24 to cap a 9-3 season.

15. NC State 37, East Carolina 24, Nov. 22, 1997: The year before in Charlotte, the two intense rivals renewed a series that had been put on hold for more than a decade because of violence that occurred following a game in 1985. The Pirates won that game 50-29, so the Wolfpack was looking for revenge when the two teams met at Carter-Finely to renew the on-campus rivalry. The 51,500 fans in attendance were not disappointed as the teams entered the final minute of play tied 24-24. With 51 seconds to play, Wolfpack quarterback Jamie Barnette pushed his way in from 1-yard out to give his team the winning points. In the final seconds, linebacker Clayton White intercepted an ECU pass and returned it 34 yards for a touchdown and the final scoring margin. No fights ensued. 16. NC State 24, Florida State 7, Sept. 12, 1998: After giving up a touchdown on the second play of the game, the Mike O'Cain-led Wolfpack intercepted first-year quarterback Chris Weinke six times en route to beating the No. 2 ranked Seminoles. It is the highest ranked opponent the Wolfpack has ever beaten at Carter-Finley, and the highest ranked team State had beaten since 1967 when it beat second-ranked Houston on the road.

17. NC State 38, Syracuse 17, Oct. 1, 1998: The unranked Pack upsets the No. 11 Orangemen and future All-Pro quarterback Donovan McNabb for the second year in a row, in a nationally televised Thursday night contest.

18. NC State 30, Georgia Tech 23 (OT), Sept. 21, 2000: The legend of quarterback Philip Rivers was born a few weeks earlier in a double-overtime win over Arkansas State, but he was introduced to a national television audience in this Thursday night ESPN thriller in Chuck Amato's first year as head coach. Rivers, the freshman quarterback, brought the Wolfpack back from a 13-0 halftime deficit with three touchdown passes to sophomore wide receiver Koren Robinson, including a 23-yard game-winner in overtime.

19. NC State 17, Florida State 7: Nov. 23, 2002: After losing three consecutive games, the Wolfpack seemed to be reeling after its school-record 9-0 start to the season. But the defense ruled the day against the Seminoles, earning the Wolfpack a bid to the Gator Bowl, where it beat Notre Dame to cap off a school-record 11-win season.

20. NC State 51, Virginia 37, Nov. 1, 2003: In a game that featured two of the ACC's most prolific passers, NC State's Philip Rivers and Virginia's Matt Schaub (the reigning ACC Offensive Player of the Year), the guy who made the difference was a semi-healthy T.A. McLendon. With 23 seconds remaining in a tie game, the tailback who had two arthroscopic knee surgeries in the previous 16 days broke free for a 38-yard touchdown that sent the sell-out crowd into a frenzy. Safety Victor Stephens provided the final points when he intercepted a pass in the final seconds and returned it 26 yards for a touchdown."

as a general football fan you may find good in a loss

but as a die hard state fan, like myself, nothing good comes from a loss and hence it is not a "good" game

Huh, I was at all the games from #15-20. I'm actually suprised that I've apparently seen 25% of the best games at Carter-Finley, considering I've never had season tickets. If I had to rank just those that I saw though, I'd say the one against FSU in '98 was the best because it was a pretty amazing upset. Torry scored 5 TD's at FSU the year before, and I remember all the FSU defenders talking before the game in '98 about how they were gonna shut him down, how Peter Warrick was the best receiver in the conference, etc. Then Torry burned them for two more TD's in the upset. Yes lawd.

What I think best epitomized the Mike O'Cain era was that during the weeks between upsetting FSU and Syracuse that year, we lost on the road to a horrible Baylor team. That loss would probably make the "worst road defeats in NC State history" list. Thanks, cocaine.

I would have to vote for 16 just because I was there to see it in person and we were such underdogs. At the time it was the highest or 2nd highest ranked team NC State had beaten I believe..

1a. East Carolina 27, Miami 23, Sep. 27, 1999: The Pirates overcame a 20-3 halftime deficit to upset the 9th-ranked Miami Hurricanes despite losing their homefield advantage due to a hurricane. The game was moved to Carter-Finley from its scheduled location in Greenville due to flooding from Hurricane Floyd. The Pirates were forced to practice in facilities provided by the previous week's opponent, South Carolina, and the players had not been home in over a week due to the destruction caused by Hurricane Floyd. The Pirates outscored the Hurricanes 24-3 in the second half en route to an emotional victory over the aptly-named Hurricanes of Miami.

I'm sure you all loved that.

Pretty surprised no one has brought up the Duke game from 94. The funny part, was that a lot of people had left when Duke went up 23-7. The goalpost tearing down was weak, even though Duke had a ranked team (weird statement). Duke was insanely close to beating us that year along with UNC. It took about a 70 run (can't remember if it was a pass or return) from UNC to nip Duke by a point with under 2 minutes to go. Think, Duke was within 2 heroic efforts to posting a 7-1 conference record and a Gator Bowl appearance in 94.

I think the FSU win from 02 was solid. The 98 game was an absolute fluke, with 6 picks from Weinke, although you take it anyway you can against FSU. 02, we simply dominated their O, McPherson's ordeal notwithstanding IMO.

UVA game (03) was exciting start to finish, never a dull moment, and also served as the last time I saw us defeat a conference opponent at home until Maryland this year because I was at a wedding when we played Wake in 04 at home

uva 03 was special. classic duel between rivers and schaub on national television. philip completed something like his first 13 or 17 passes. t.a. had a huge run at the end to seal the deal.

what a great game.

Actually, Pat Dye is probably the best coach in ECU history, Logan just had the most wins. I'm still not sure whether I agree with the firing of Logan, he was a good coach, but the rumor was that he wasn't really putting much effort into recruiting anymore. He had a very bad relationship with our jackass AD Mike Hamrick and so the second Logan had a bit of a bad streak he was fired. That administration followed by hiring the worst coach in school history and one of the worst coaches I've ever seen in John Thompson. That was a horrible hire, and I wish I could just erase the two years he was here. You could give him Notre Dame and he'd be lucky to win 5 games, he's just terrible. Skip Holtz seems to be much better, and he appears to atleast have the program headed in the right direction. Now on to the "EZU sucks" posts.

this was my favorite game. the atmosphere was amazing, and ive never heard CF so loud. after the victory we proceeded to walk the goalposts up hillsborough street, until the police started spraying pepper spray at the waffle house.

^^Rivers would have been the #1 pick instead of 4 because we would have been winning bigger bowls each year. Imagine how many more yards and TDs Philip would have put up with K-Rob for 2 more years.

amato ran k-rob off (a buddy of mine talked to him about it in a bar after k-rob declared for the draft - said he and amato just "didn't get along so well")

based on k-rob's history....it doesn't look like he got along with any authority figure.

"1a. East Carolina 27, Miami 23, Sep. 27, 1999: The Pirates overcame a 20-3 halftime deficit to upset the 9th-ranked Miami Hurricanes despite losing their homefield advantage due to a hurricane. The game was moved to Carter-Finley from its scheduled location in Greenville due to flooding from Hurricane Floyd. The Pirates were forced to practice in facilities provided by the previous week's opponent, South Carolina, and the players had not been home in over a week due to the destruction caused by Hurricane Floyd. The Pirates outscored the Hurricanes 24-3 in the second half en route to an emotional victory over the aptly-named Hurricanes of Miami."


You forgot the part where they then proceeded to trash the field they were so graciously offered to play their game. But what do you expect from Excessive Chlamydia University?



That what you were waitng for?

the 1999 Clemson game deserves recognition.

BUT THE 1998 FSU GAME IS BY FAR THE BEST!

The 1997 ECU game was my "personal" favorite considering we had to put up with a bunch of ECU dickwads in front of us. If I am not mistaken, I recall that ECU went for a 2 point conversion in 1996 to run up the score in that game. With the final touchdown in the 1997 game, State lined as if they were going for a 2 point conversion and Jamie Barnett took a knee. It was a SWEET feeling. A classy way of getting back at ECU for having no class.

^^agreed, the 97 ECU game was the shit, it was also the 1st time in a few years that the goal posts came down which then brought like 4 games almost in a row where they came down... including EZU's tearing ours down after they beat miami.

Of course, one of the conditions for them to play there was to put $ down before the game in case the goal posts did come down!

Im proud to say I was at games 14-20

I was on the hill when K-rob caught that pass in the endzone against GT. Sweet.
and the roar at the end of the virgina game where TA broke away for that 30 yard scamper was deafening.

i don't know if it did, but the 02 FSU game is the loudest game i have ever been to, and that includes games at VT, Clemson, WFU, and BC. the game was constantly loud, except for when we were on offense of course. i tried to call my brother who was watching the game on TV back in Charlotte, right after we had a huge play, and the place was going insane. i had my phone as loud as it possibly could go, and he still couldn't hear me!

I thought it was well documented that he bet for FSU. I also don't remember him throwing any picks or throwing at receivers feet or anything strange, and I think people went back and watched it and agreed. Our D was sick that game. If you want to say anyone threw a game between FSU and NCSU, you'd have to look at Kiker.
