does it piss anyone else off how they never just stick with typing "NC State"? I mean... do they really have to type out North Carolina State one time then another time use N.Carolina St. etc.

3/11/2008 5:03:39 PM

you my friend live an envious life if that is the extent of your problems

3/11/2008 5:05:19 PM

September 18 will be my son's second football game.

September 6 will be his first. UCLA vs. Tennessee. I'm pretty sure there will be a gameday thread on this one....

3/11/2008 5:05:37 PM

How did we end up with two of these?

3/11/2008 6:07:13 PM

It seems they like to give us thursday night games, with the exception of last year I believe??? Fucking A.

3/11/2008 6:10:09 PM

well we do put on a good audience for thursday night games.. especially versus FSU

3/11/2008 6:37:01 PM

ton of ACC thursday night games...

3/11/2008 6:40:43 PM

wet your appetite

3/11/2008 6:51:39 PM

you'll notice that it is the same schools every season (usually) that get the thursday night matchups...

i think this will be UNC's first thursday night game ever though.


a lot of schools don't like thursday night games... they would rather have the all day saturday extravaganza.

i think thursday night games are "ok"...i'd much rather it be on a saturday

3/11/2008 7:02:01 PM

This thread reminded me that the FSU game is on my birthday

God, my appetite is so wet

3/11/2008 7:05:34 PM

it takes a lot for something that i read on the internets to make me laugh out loud

congrats

4/16/2008 11:57:00 PM

i will talk all day about any team, as long as the person starting it actually went there.

somebody's top 10 prediction:

Quote :

"1) NC State 2) NC State 3) Northern California State + a bevy of mistaken media members 4) the second string from NC State 5) the remainder of the NC State team 6) 11 people that stood near Tom O'Brien that one time 7) 11 people related to the other 11 people 8) Tom O'Brien. 9) TMFOB 10) Duke, as voted by Steven F. Spurrier"

4/17/2008 1:14:52 PM

Wow, I can't believe that this video is actually sponsored by USC. It's about 25 walk-ons and their hopes to make the team. The coach is Pete Carroll's son. Douchebaggery ensues.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJXkvj21JaA

I don't know if they use this for recruiting or what, but if my kid showed me this video and said he wanted to go to SC I'd laugh and then slap him. And then punch his mother.

^^thats just a list of the biggest, not the best

5/29/2008 12:18:30 PM

yeah but this is AMERICA. big is good.

5/29/2008 12:28:35 PM

why does the list of Top 20 American stadiums only have 15 listed?

5/29/2008 1:10:22 PM

it's a poorly worded link. they have the biggest 15 US stadiums, and the 5 biggest non-US stadiums.

5/29/2008 1:12:25 PM

I like how the Rose Bowl has a pic of the actual Rose Bowl game, the only time it sells out every year, haha.

5/29/2008 1:30:54 PM

It usually sells out for the USC @ UCLA game every other year.

5/29/2008 1:32:44 PM

Yeah, but a pic of a half baby blue/half ketchup and mustard crowd would look funny compared to the other ones as well.
