Wow good news football outsiders has us ranked 27th and going 9-3I think we'd all take that this season]
7/28/2011 2:52:46 PM
That's good news? I'd actually be a little disappointed by that result unless most of the losses come out-of-conference. We need to be contenders for the championship this year and a 5-3 conference record (losses to FSU, Clemson and Maryland) isn't good enough for that.
7/28/2011 2:57:40 PM
^I wouldn't like that either, considering our OOC opponents are Liberty, S. Alabama, Cinci, and Central Michigan.
7/28/2011 3:00:52 PM
That's true, but I'd rather take an upsetting loss to Cincinnati, Central Michigan or South Alabama (hey, they are UNDEFEATED!) than lose too many conference games and be out of the running for the championship.I hope we destroy Liberty though. I'll be at that game with a Liberty alum who thinks their school is hot shit in football. Looking forward to bringing them their FBS reality check!
7/28/2011 3:05:11 PM
Lol bet the farm we will beat Liberty easily.....and South Alabama. We will be their first BCS game.

Anyone who says they'd be disappointed with a first year starter at QB winning nine games at NC State is fucked in the head and represents everything that's wrong with our delusions of grandeur fanbase.[Edited on July 28, 2011 at 3:22 PM. Reason : x]

Glad to know you feel that way!

one of my real close friends, former UNC walk-on now alumni, emailed me earlier this week making fun of state's new football jerseys and asked why debbie yow was trying to "ruin" our national reputation by moving away from "NC state". I just "LOL WUT?"-ed him and he sent me and email this morning saying he has the worst karma ever after all of the shit that just hit the fan.
7/28/2011 3:30:38 PM
You showed him
7/28/2011 3:33:35 PM
i didn't show him anything.
7/28/2011 3:49:43 PM
not to mention that 9 regular-season wins would be an obvious mark of forward progress from last season...but considering we're replacing a record-setting QB, multi-year starters at WR, and our entire kicking unit, 9 wins would be fantasticThrow in a bowl victory and that's 10 wins. Still disappointed?
7/28/2011 3:55:11 PM
I didn't mean to convey that i would be disappointed with a 9 win season. I'd be pretty happy given all the changes. I was just saying I'd be pretty pissed if our 3 wins were all from our out of conference schedule. I do think there's a chance we could get 10+ wins though, considering our ridiculously easy schedule.

Touche. Nonetheless, as TOB pointed out, they are still true freshmen.

If we got a decent bowl out of a 9-3 season that would be fine. Decent bowl meaning against a decent team. Champs vs. WV was pretty good. It'd be nice to have at least that level of a quality bowl again.

Champs is a good bowl?low standards are low

As long as we get a pic of that safety.

^x6 new scoreboard/jumbotron looks GREAT!!
7/29/2011 10:07:13 AM
that is one massively awesome jumbotron. would be insane to see a panorama up there for most of the game in a big screen. (hopefully it's good resolution too)

Don't remember if its been said before already.... but they are planning on replacing the Old block S with the new one at the top of the board right????
7/31/2011 1:01:13 PM
I believe so. They still have to add trim around the board and would think they would put up the newer block S then.

no, a fútbol game
8/2/2011 1:30:00 PM
I took state at 25:1 odds to win the ACC. Thoughts? I figure with VT, FSU, Clem, and UNC all getting new QBs that the loss of RW is mitigated, and Glennon has enough upside to make 25:1 great value. We also have a favorable conference schedule getting Clem, Fairyland, and the pastel wearing fags in blue at home. The only real red flag longshot on the schedule is at FSU, maybe their QB will fix the game again in a gambling scandal.[Edited on August 2, 2011 at 1:58 PM. Reason : a]
8/2/2011 1:56:24 PM
i saw where thegreek had us at 10-1 to win our division. Almost popped on it, but I'll stick to point spreads.
8/2/2011 1:59:41 PM
I've been calling VT and NCSU in the championship game for quite some time. I don't think FSU will be able to make a 10-2 or 11-1 season like others are saying.
