Its not definite but the quote is "he plans on it". Huge, told you it wasn't a done deal haters.

"Is Wilson going to play football next year? That’s the million dollar question. I caught up with him before the State- Carolina game and flat out asked him, “Russell, are you playing football next year?” And Russell gave me the stock answer, “I plan on it.”"

That's not really very encouraging.

2/5/2010 10:14:27 AM

IMO the question of whether Archer is returning has a bigger impact on my expectations/hopes for next year, and that question has unfortunately been answered.

Doesn't mean its gonna happen

poor Glennon

maybe I will finally accept his Farmville invite....it'll cheer him up on this sad day

this was also the same interview where all three agreed that Wilson is better than Rivers was in college....

I like Avent, but he said some asinine things in that interview.

^Good thing for glennon is he'll get all the spring practice reps

Yeah, but this will undoubtably be RW final year (if he even plays at all). Glennon will still have two full years as the starter, and that's assuming Russell stays completely healthy.

Two years is more than Matt Sanchez got, and a hell of a lot more than Matt Cassell got.

2/5/2010 11:49:18 AM

Mark Cassell?

With our schedule for next season, I much rather have RW behind center, with a much more efficient O-line, Glennon needs to learn our offense more, and the way Wilson has played since he's been here he deserves to start!

Glad your coming back RW! We would not blame you for leaving at the end of your jr. year for mucho baseball $$, most of us would do the same if we had the option!

2/5/2010 12:15:17 PM

Wilson doesn't read TWW

2/5/2010 12:16:51 PM

i thought TWW was the scripture in the church of Russelobrien

plans change.

my guess is he just doesnt want to have a bunch of distractions during baseball season.

graduate and peace out in may

he told me that he does, in fact, read tww

2/5/2010 1:04:34 PM

in that case....

Hi, Russ! Please come back next season and lead us to a bowl game!

2/5/2010 1:15:31 PM

Wait, does this mean the lion won't be a surprise?

2/5/2010 2:11:33 PM

How is that asinine?! Without a doubt russell was better as a sophomore than rivers was as a soph.

Phil threw a whooping 6 tds in 8 conference games tha year. Wilson threw 4 against carolina alone

2/5/2010 2:13:06 PM

Remember that phil got mazzowned. Nothing he could do. He was just a kid.

2/5/2010 2:27:09 PM

In other news, Ryan Harrow is going to finish his senior season at WOG.

2/5/2010 2:37:00 PM

^^ Mazzone didn't show up until PR's senior year. PR was disappointing as a sophomore - there's just no getting around it.

If this is true then you can all thank the Lion for Russell campaign. It's the mane reason he wants to come back.

2/5/2010 3:08:06 PM

"Mane reason"...I really did LOL.

2/5/2010 3:34:16 PM

Yep, after norm chow left, we had two years of Marty fucking Galbraith who was awful, but not as awful as Mazzwn.

99.9 said today that Tom Holliday has made RW the closer for the baseball season this year.....

"Nervous State football fans may wonder if Wilson has thrown his last pass for the Pack. "No, I don't think so," Wilson answered. "But we'll see what happens. "I think Russell Wilson is going to play [football] again," Avent said, "but it's only because I want to see him play again.""

really?

"with our schedule" you want rw behind center?

you really prefer one of the best qb's in the acc/nation over an unproven red-soph??

really?

well i'm glad we got your input!

2/21/2010 6:52:31 PM

^yeah

2/21/2010 6:58:11 PM

mike glennon should've transfered to unc a year ago.

then he could've looked like matt ryan as he wrecked our assholes this season and gone 10-3 or some bullshit while we go 4-8 more than likely.

[Edited on February 21, 2010 at 9:49 PM. Reason : g]

2/21/2010 9:49:14 PM

Glennon, you'll get your shot when Russell is done, and us here at State and the alums are NOT ready for Wilson to be done yet!


GO PACK!!

2/21/2010 10:38:50 PM

Wilson did not do shit in the Pack's first two games (the games in which we scored 50 runs). Maybe he is still getting caught up with the rest of the players and will have a good season, but this year certainly did not begin that great for him.

2/22/2010 2:13:40 PM

is this where we all start secretly hoping he has a terrible baseball season, statistically?

2/22/2010 9:15:26 PM

Hopefully he plays football next year, and the next year. He's already a savior, a bonafide Golden-God, and he could be a NC State football legend (where's the Wilson Heisman trophy pic?)!!!1

but if his future is w/ baseball and that's what he wants to do, if/when the time comes, he should make the $s.

I'm kinda curious to see what Glennon, Proctor, & Brosius (& Imhoff) can do. Is Proctor still projected to be a qb?

2/22/2010 10:38:04 PM

i hope he is really really really good in baseball...

...starting jan 2012

2/22/2010 10:41:29 PM

I could be wrong but I've heard S/CB for this guy and that TOB really likes what Brosius brings to the table and he's fine with him and Glennon/Snotherly/Imoff.

2/23/2010 2:01:59 AM

rw finally had a pretty good game yesterday

3-4 w a walk, double, 3 runs scored and a rbi. He even pitched some.

are we happy or sad?

3/10/2010 9:14:09 PM

He also dove for a fly ball in left field, didn't catch it and allowed A&T to go ahead. It didn't go down as an error, but it cost State the lead. Luckily the bats were alive and answered back with 5 in the 7th and 2 in the 8th.

3/10/2010 9:20:14 PM

^ I'd have to see the play before I could pass judgement there. Either way I am just glad the baseball team is playing well so far. Huge weekend coming up in terms of proving they are for real.
