let's hope we don't need him 20 times a game like last year

8/9/2010 10:28:22 AM

Yeah because we had to punt so much last year

http://web1.ncaa.org/mfb/2009/Internet/trend/FBS_trend_team_off_1.pdf

Bottom of Page 1. 47 Punts.

LOL only team with 0 touchbacks! I guess because we never punted inside the 30yd line

yeah, it's not so much that we needed him frequently, because our offense was pretty damn good.

It was the few times that we did need him and he'd go fuck it up and screw over our defense with poor field position.

8/9/2010 11:10:17 AM

plus there was the whole 'avoid cj spiller' strategy in the Clemson game which worked out wonderfully.

I don't think anyone has said anything about this yet, but the football yearbook on gopack.com is pretty nice!

6.

6 yard.

6 yard punt.

8/9/2010 1:27:12 PM

^^I have always been very critical of our sports marketing department, but that yearbook is a quality piece of work. I have to give credit where it is due. Keep up the good work.

I posted it on page 15.

It is well done I will agree.

where is the countdown on this page.

needz.

8/9/2010 4:31:58 PM

I wonder if the new "wrinkle" being added to the defense is the corners not falling down in coverage constantly.

"The Pack quarterbacks went 8-20 for 116 yards while the team rushed for 92 yards on 55 carries, the defense had six sacks and eight tackles for loss and kickers made 3-of-5 field goals"

not exactly a great performance. hard to tell from stats though.

quick, what's 92 divided by 55?

8/9/2010 10:30:41 PM

terrible is what it is

8/9/2010 10:46:09 PM

Maybe a sign of a much-improved defense?

But probably just a sign of the defense being ahead of the offense this time of year (understandably).

8/9/2010 11:39:23 PM

^I'm surprised our defense even remembers what a run play is, they didn't see too many of them last year while opposing offenses where pasing for 350+ yards against us

8/10/2010 7:23:16 AM

plus the coaches have never really reported accurate stats, and the scrimmage wasn't open to media/fans/observers.

so who the hell knows what actually went on. i get less interested in scrimmages every year - remember when marcus stone was tearing it up (at QB) in preseason, only to shit the bed in real games?

8/10/2010 7:40:01 AM

for all we know, TOB could just make up the stats on the spot.

92 yards on 55 carries? That can't be right. That's only 1.67 yards per attempt. Surely our O line is better than that.

Wow, O'Brien looks happy. I've never seen it before.

I hope they remember the near 300 yards rushing that BC put on them... and I hope they remember the near 300 yards rushing FSU put on them in the very next game. Then there were the 250+ yards rushing that Clemson put up a few weeks after that, then the 200 from VT in the very next game after Clemson.

Through the air or on the ground there was nothing redeeming about our defense last year.

football is so close i can taste the cold beer and bourbon, smell the sunscreen, feel the heat of early september, hear the fight song, and see the girls dressed in red dresses & cowboy boots.

september 4th, there's no place else i'd rather be than raleigh NC.

8/11/2010 9:43:16 AM

^^Amazing how unbelievably better our jerseys would look if they'd remove that damn Murphy Center logo.

8/11/2010 10:14:52 AM

i don't mind it, but i agree it would look better w/ something not there or at least smaller.

8/11/2010 10:18:56 AM

^ agreed

8/11/2010 10:21:23 AM

on all the jersey's ive seen these guys wearing the three wolves are gone and its just three vertical stripes (Adidas)

8/11/2010 1:42:44 PM

practice jerseys.

8/11/2010 1:51:42 PM

they need to get the SWOOSH on those things. adidas is not a big time football name. that logo is not recognisable. they also need to try to get some of the sleek fast new nike uniforms before this year because that stuff looks terrible.

they need something like this

-silver helmet with a fast wolf logo
-black jersey with "future" numbers in red and silver, like the miami numbers
-metal red pants sorta like the ones for miami last year
-have the slogan for the team on the side of the pants like florida state "Wolfpack in the house"

8/11/2010 1:53:26 PM

Maybe we can incorporate the diamond plate pattern in there as well. That would fit in nicely

8/11/2010 2:17:15 PM

maybe we should just move the team to Florida?

what do you think hoops?

8/11/2010 2:21:30 PM

HOOPS MALONE is a profit unlike any other.

Why not have these fast wolves be 'jammin on the hot' also?

Only one fast wolf logo? Why not three fast wolves? And possibly a fast moon.

profit

No kidding. I don't see why they did away with the jerseys from 2004-07. The ones they have now look like a cheaper version.

8/11/2010 5:08:28 PM

I know they were Nike, but I still think the plain red jerseys from Rivers' era were the best. If they wanted to then maybe add a block S to the front or back around the neck.

8/11/2010 5:14:03 PM

If we used this shit, I would quit my job, burn my degrees, start over as an undergrad at another school so I could stop being a Wolfpack fan. Thanks HOOPS!

I hated those with the black piping and white underarm. It looked like a shitty Atlanta Falcons knockoff.
