guess I was just lucky to be there all 4 years that Rivers was there.

10/14/2005 2:44:01 AM

oh god

more rivers

you know people were still bitching back then right?

10/14/2005 3:39:41 AM

I thought he was going to say Erik Kramer, or Shane Montgomery. LOL.

10/14/2005 3:33:54 PM

i was present for that ass whoopin we laid to Notre Dame

10/14/2005 4:52:54 PM

that ND team wasn't very good.

10/14/2005 5:54:16 PM

yep, those were the good ol' days. i was a pioneer of booing chuck amato (would have been the duke victory in 2002 by a score of 24-22).

10/17/2005 4:39:18 PM

there were good ol' days?

10/17/2005 4:42:21 PM

ol' days that didn't entirely suck

10/17/2005 5:35:18 PM

you mean the good olde days where carolina would beat us but they were supposed to?

10/17/2005 5:54:11 PM

ah yes I remember when we were supposed to suck, see the best thing about those times...
which I call the Mike O'cain Days... was that we could tailgate, all day and night before if you wanted...
going to football games was more for tailgating and catching the football game was fun but you knew you would suck so it was no big deal when you lost

truth is, O'Cain wanted the facilites we have now, it took a new chancellor, AD and coach to get them...
We've got great facilites, a heck of a great stadium and I think in time, if we can keep our assistant coaches from leaving, a program worth it's hype.

Dick Sheridan years?

Yeah b/c we had one of the worst defenses in the league.

10/18/2005 12:29:00 PM

Whats the UNC / NCSU win/loss stats by year for say.... the last 20 years?

10/18/2005 5:50:12 PM

UNC has won 11 of the last 20 I think

We won 7 in a row under Sheridan

They won 8 of 9 against O'Cain

We're 3 and 3 under Amato

10/18/2005 8:49:39 PM

O'cain never beat UNC, which was one of the main reasons that he was canned.

10/19/2005 10:22:26 AM

Sorry

Sheridan won 8 of his last 9 or 10

O'Cain lost 6 or 7 in a row

Amato is still 3-3

^No.

Dick Sheridan was at State for 6 seasons. He lost his first game against Carolina, then one 5 straight (88 - 92). In 1993, we started a 7 loss streak (93 - 99) that was finally broken in Chuck's first year. Carolina won the 2001 game, and then the last 2.

The good ol' days were when we always went to a bowl (Dick Sheridan's tenure). There was a point when NC State had one of the longest consecutive bowls attended streak in the country.

It was much more fun then, but I don't know if that's because the expectations were so much lower, or what. Either way, going to a game then was whole lot less of a pain in the ass than going to a game now.

Remember how he went to coach at UNC right after he got canned here? Fishy.

10/21/2005 8:36:02 AM

The two years I spent here before Rivers were better than the shit we are suffering through now.

We beat Donovan McNabb.

McNabb, man.

10/22/2005 4:26:10 AM

hmmmm, the MicronPC Bowl, and beating the hell out of Minnesota was sweeeet....but two of the best was 1) taking a road trip to Tallahassee with some good buds from my dorm and the band(about 80 people in all), and watching us kick the hell out of FSU 24-17, and the 2nd Best was definitely watching Rivers in company in Jacksonville @ the Gator Bowl, beat up on Notre Dame on national t.v.....ahh GOD those were the good ole days and thank GOD I was there to witness an offense and defense on the same page with one another....ahh how I wish those days were upon us now....

10/24/2005 12:02:07 PM

^i don't recall "beating the hell out of the Minnesota." wasn't state down by like 20-something at the half? the final was 38-30.

[Edited on October 24, 2005 at 3:07 PM. Reason : .]

10/24/2005 3:07:15 PM

I meant to say the comeback in the 2nd half..after hearing so much smack from the Minnesota football players ..it was good to see them lose to us.

10/24/2005 4:01:21 PM

beating the hell out of someone isn't winning by one score (i.e. FSU game)

10/24/2005 4:14:30 PM

Dude, we beat the hell out of FSU that game. The score may not indicate it, but it was a damn ass-kicking.



Of course, a certain player from FSU helped us out a little...

10/24/2005 5:57:16 PM

^^^^ Hey you are suppose to keep that on the down low.

12/10/2005 2:54:27 AM

like the time we won the gator bowl by taking out ND's quarterback

good times

12/10/2005 12:47:46 PM

it helped that we almost killed NDs starting QB....they had a nice drive going before that happened....backup sucked ass....that was a great game to go too


hope all the college kids enjoy the new stadium, and the terrible team playing in the upgraded digs.

i was luck to be there 00-04

1/3/2006 11:11:57 PM

does anyone remember the QB's under Sheridan?? I know Shane Montgomery was from 87-89.. but not sure when Terry Jordan came in.. was someone in between the two?

My dad's a VT fan.. and is looking for a list of QB's coached by O'Cain.. and asked about the QB's during the Sheridan era.

2/24/2006 10:54:38 PM

jose laureano!!1

2/25/2006 1:22:56 PM

If I am not mistaken, I have the Touchdown Wolfpack book somewhere at home....

I think it was Montgomery > Terry Jordan > Terry Harvey/Geoff Bender > then Jose Laureano

I remember Harvey was a good baseball player too. Poor guy puked on the field against Clemson back in 93.

[Edited on February 27, 2006 at 3:54 PM. Reason : .]

Harvey threw a no hitter against FSU. I thought Geoff Bender was the one chunking on the field at Clemson and Harvey came in at the end? I may have it backwards.

correct harvey/bender were both during sheridan and O'Cain eras and Laureno was under O'Cain albeit just a few games. Also under Sheridan were Eric Kramer and Preston Poag who split time with Montgomery and also doubled as a punter.
