you're talking to people who don't like to be ranked because they think it will jinx them, logic does not apply here

Essentially it's another of saying "I don't wanna get my hopes up". Which is somewhat understandable as State fans. But it's still kinda dumb to me.

I've sat in section 13 for nearly 5 years now, and I can't say I've ever noticed anything at a game that was special or different about section 10 ever. They seem to be e-popular though. That move the chains shit is everywhere in that general area and not limited to whatever cool guys in Section 10 might have started it.

And yes, the chant is fucking stupid.

Yeah I sat in section 29 for years and they did that stupid chant up there. Same with all the student sections too. I have no idea what the significance/importance of section 10 is.

I was out near the stadium and decided to drive by there to see if there was anything new.

I noticed they were putting up a bunch of light poles all throughout the student lot, many of which had loudspeakers on them.

They were also installing what looked to be a cell phone tower in the middle of the press lot at the end of the student lot. The tower wasn't too much taller than the trees, but had these grey pannels on top of it, with a small building at the bottom of it. I'm no tech expert, but i'm assuming its cell phone tower, which will be nice if that's the case.

^^ they already put in a bunch of cell phone repeaters all around the top of the stadium, probably a part of the same project.

^No, but I'm thinking the loss of those parking spots is making them over utilize the space they have,

Also Bullet is *obviously* trolling with that "move those chains" chant talk.

One only has to look to his comparison of that to the "This Is Our State" slogan, which is also stupidly laughable.

^The only time I can remember enjoying that dumb ass chant was during the FSU game in 2012 when we kept converting on 4th down on that final drive. I was drunk and cheap beer and emotion and the chant just over took me.

I rode through the faculty/staff lot yesterday, and there's a red tape around nearly every tree in there. No clue what that means, but it's there. Also, rain has washed out a lot of areas through there.

This and a discussion about it are on page 8

(and yes, I was kidding about the chant. Every year posters on here are pretty vocal about how much they hate it. I think it's a petty thing to get too worked-up about, but I do think it's pretty silly.)

Quote :
"During construction of the N.C. State indoor training facility at the Carter-Finley Stadium complex, tailgaters will lose between 700 and 800 spots, mostly in the Stadium Southeast Red lot. University athletics officials are moving forward with the project that has a projected $14 million price tag, and released preliminary details about where the facility will be located and what kind of parking it will include. The project is scheduled to begin construction in June and be completed in March of 2015.

The facility will sit right at the corner of Westchase Boulevard and the outer loop road. Once built, a 400-space paved parking lot with lined parking spots will sit just behind the facility, or on the opposite side of Carter-Finley Stadium.

To make up for the 300 to 400 lost parking spots, NCSU will renovate the Faculty and Trinity lots by adding parking bumpers to lay out designated parking spaces. Currently, there are no designated spaces, which makes for inefficient use of space. After the renovations, NCSU will actually increase parking capacity at the stadium complex.

N.C. State chose a team comprised of Corley Redfoot Architects, 360 Architecture and the TA Loving construction company to design and build the facility."

The bid for most trades was pushed back till this last Tuesday due to issued addenda. Packages are being awarded now. I believe the steel was awarded a while back though.

At this point we should just accept that this is how it is. We will be known as plagiarists(lol), so we might as well just give up the bitching before we whine too much and become an even bigger regional joke.

I actually like this. And at least this isn't a direct rip off like "This is our state" and that basketball intro video.

Fuck it...I like it. It's obviously we wanna brand ourselves as "State"...not NC State. And there's only so much you can do with that word. I'm not worried about it being kinda similar to something Mississippi State did. They don't own the word "State"

Yep, I'm glad they're branding "State", and it's not like there are a lot of options.

I'd like the haters to provide some serious alternatives that would be better.

The "Our State" slogan obviously had run its course...after being swept by in state opponents in football and then losing to NCCU in bball. But, aside from that being a complete rip off from Mississippi State's slogan, I actually thought it was a solid idea that was poorly executed. Branding/marketing yourself as the university of the people of NC is a pretty neat idea, IMO, especially when there are several big universities in the state. Kind of a way of saying that NC State is a university that represents the citizens of NC. But that message got lost. And when you have a few shitty seasons, or a shitty showing against in state schools it becomes a pretty obvious target for mockery.

Just like this slogan, or any other slogan the marketing department would've come up with, will be a point of mockery if we suck. If we win, who gives a shit.
