state's going to pwn them

we only win when they are ranked.

2/16/2007 8:56:32 PM

^ very true

2/16/2007 9:13:03 PM

thats what i think. the crowd should be loud. our team will be hungry. i predict a win.

2/16/2007 9:50:54 PM

yea im feeling we will play MUCH better this game and have a better crowd than the maryland game, which in fairness was in the middle of the week with exams on students minds and whatnot

2/16/2007 9:55:52 PM

If we play like we have the last 3 games, we lose by 20.

But yet people start these threads with predictions of wins....

2/16/2007 10:59:33 PM

That's because we never give up, never ever give up. I'll be there for damn sure, but I'm not sure which NCSU team will show up....

2/16/2007 11:05:03 PM

it's almost a must win. just hope they don't come out flat.

2/16/2007 11:17:11 PM

^^^if we play like we had been bf the first vt game, we would have lost by 20

2/17/2007 12:17:52 AM

^ we've played that badly the last three games

2/17/2007 2:21:49 AM

Anybody who knows anyone on the team, please make sure to call and tell them to wake up tomorrow BEFORE the game - I want the A Team on the court tomorrow, not the comatose F Team that's shown itself more than once lately. If the A Team shows up like it did for UNC, we can kick some serious @$$ tomorrow!

2/17/2007 10:32:00 AM

^yeah, i'll get right on that bud

heres to hope

2/17/2007 10:34:49 AM

Title implies away game.

2/17/2007 10:42:28 AM

how the hell does it imply away game

maybe technically if you really look at it but i always put nc state at away team if its away game

not really, the first half and first few min of the second half against GT was some of the most inspired and well played bball ive seen state play since the 80's

made me excited for the future. no one can play with basically a six man rotation and injured PG and expect to hold on every time

2/17/2007 11:00:49 AM

Oddly enough my day is planned perfectly for me to have time to watch this game.

Work 10-4
game 4-6
lame-ass engagement party 7-upside down question mark.

2/17/2007 11:01:31 AM

^^ we've lost the last 3 games by an average of 13 pts to teams that all together are 13-20 in the ACC, that sucks

2/17/2007 11:14:37 AM

need one, but would take two student tickets

lemme know

exactly. which means we are in the same position as before. and before, we came out and played inspired and beat vt and unc. no reason it can't happen again.

2/18/2007 1:30:33 AM

pack 68, vt 60

2/18/2007 1:33:01 AM

we're going to get raped

2/18/2007 2:27:15 AM

just like we did in blacksburg

2/18/2007 2:30:23 AM

just like we did against miami, GT, and UMD

2/18/2007 2:33:19 AM

and unc and vt.

i know what you're saying but i just think we win this game. Dowdell is great but I don't think he will be able to beat us alone. They will have to have Washington or Collins step up to beat us.

2/18/2007 2:36:28 AM

I think optimism is unlucky

2/18/2007 10:44:20 AM

I look at it this way: If we win, awesome. If we lose, VT is tied with UNC and UVA atop the ACC but hold the tiebreaker so UNC would be bumped down to #2 so it would be a consolation prize sort of.

2/18/2007 10:52:11 AM

Thank God this game's on ESPN full court, so I know it'll be on up here!

2/18/2007 11:03:55 AM

we can do this... GO PACK

2/18/2007 11:33:11 AM

We need a win badly and we generally play to the level of our competition. With that said, I think we win a close one. "When we hungry, we eat"

2/18/2007 11:44:46 AM

i need a student ticket....anyone have an extra pleaaase ??

2/18/2007 12:00:12 PM

we can go for two season sweeps this week

2/18/2007 12:06:47 PM

still need a student ticket

anyone?

2/18/2007 12:28:28 PM

i'm looking forward to this one....hopefully we come out with some fire, and do what we did the game before the unc game lasssst time

2/18/2007 12:32:30 PM

Anyone know when the red terror bus is running?

2/18/2007 12:42:18 PM

damn it, tickets i was planning on using for a couple of my friends aren't available. anyone have any non-student tickets they could toss my way or sell for very cheap? thanks.

2/18/2007 1:08:07 PM

i neeeed tiiickket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! someone please PM me

2/18/2007 1:32:55 PM

i have 4 non student tickets together. i don't know what section so i think they are 300 level. looking to sell them cheap. pm asap

2/18/2007 1:42:06 PM

lady wolfpack just beat lady hokies up in blacksburg

If it were an away game, the title would read N.C. State @ Va. Tech.

N.C. State vs. Va. Tech is perfectly acceptable--and correct--to use when discussing a home game.

2/18/2007 1:54:39 PM

^ I disagree. Home team ALWAYS gets written last.

games played vs games started, probably true

2/18/2007 4:06:44 PM

Damn right, Ben!

2/18/2007 4:06:47 PM

Atsur is now a defensive liability

2/18/2007 4:07:46 PM

MCCAULEY FOR POINT GUARD

2/18/2007 4:07:56 PM

what is this, making jumpers?

2/18/2007 4:10:36 PM

2 on Collins, yeah!

2/18/2007 4:11:35 PM

nah engin didn't start a game last year for being late to a team meeting

but whatever, lookin good early
