I do this every year so no complaints. Just start with some trolls about laptops and Sweaty Gary retorts about shady recruiting. It's better that way...

Ok, we'll start on the football side of things.

It's not going to be a great year. Too many road games against quality teams (UNC, USF, L'Ville, Rutgers, etc, etc).

But who really cares about football, right? I mean come on...

As far as basketball... can we get some NC State fans love... because lets face it, UConn is one of a handful of teams that has the talent, athleticism and depth to handle UNC...

hahahahah >.<

Ernie posts something like that every year.. he knows I was obviously rooting for State both games against UConn (I actually went to the game in MCI Center in '03).

At the least, I'm not one of those confused souls who roots for one of our biggest rivals 2nd (Duke...)

I said it somewhere else, but god I hope UConn wasn't that big of a fluke and can handle UNC. I'm sure they won't and UNC will look at it as some big upset. Fags.

I think the UCONN football team will do well this year and build off of their shared Big East championship year. I don't think they'll win the Big East again this year, but I think they'll be one of the better teams this year, even if it doesn't show up in their conference record.

8-4 (3-4)

NyM have you ever been to Rentschler Field? Here's some pics of the stadium and a few of the players that you'll enjoy.










It seems like they could have put the sideline stands a little closer to the field.

8/3/2008 8:25:31 PM

I forgot about this thread..

Yeah, I went to a game the first year. It is OK, but feels like a soccer stadium more than football..

5-0.

9/27/2008 12:13:34 PM

you guys will beat UNC

9/27/2008 12:55:06 PM

i like that stadium...kinda looks like the scaled down version of Stanford's


I think UConn could easily become the biggest football/basketball juggernaut (maybe Rutgers too) in the Northeast now since Syracuse has sucked for so long and Rutgers has kinda fallen off this season.

move to the student section next time, if you can

i'm incredibly sad that i'm probably not going to get to any games this season... except the eventual bowl game

9/27/2008 1:28:40 PM

Recruit Nate Miles expelled from school.

In other news, grass is green.

I don't think many peple seriously thought this guy was going to actually play a game on campus...

10/3/2008 1:15:14 PM

Thabeet 9-9 from the field last night.

Is this a finger roll or did he just lose it on the way up? I've never seen Hasheem actually use a real basketball move near the hoop before.

11/6/2008 3:03:53 PM

Triple post. I just didn't want you guys to have to search for this when you want to troll me later today...

*** Oh, and also my football predictions were perfect except for the Louisville fluke win. Completely matched with actual results...

That's a pretty lonely looking football stadium

12/20/2008 1:28:25 PM

if you're talking about the area - it was an old airport

they're actually building the surrounding area though, they actually put in a GIANT cabelas in that big grassy area last year

its pretty much a clusterfuck though trying to park/leave now because the place is always packed and you're fighting their traffic too...

but that place is clutch when you're tailgating in the rain or something - just walk over and get a new tent/umbrella/browning .22

whatever

lol.

i'm a big uconn fan this year, at least until it becomes clear that they can't beat unc.

12/20/2008 3:00:07 PM

that didn't take long.

12/20/2008 10:27:14 PM

zags threw that game away :x

12/20/2008 10:33:29 PM

[PICTAR OF NC STATE PLAYER HERE]

3/16/2009 2:30:04 AM

still think memphis deserved the #1?

they had to play come-back basketball in the second half

while uconn ran on like a 45-6 point run to end the first half

3/20/2009 1:41:09 AM

26 Point win in the second round

HOW BOUT THAT

3/21/2009 6:22:45 PM

3/26/2009 7:54:11 PM
