win and we go to shreveport

lose and we go to atlanta


or something along those lines

11/11/2012 6:17:34 PM

17 points underdogs.

BTW, it was 2 years ago vs Clemson "shutting the bed" thing started. We did shut the bed that game. The following year Clemson shut the bed against us. Can the bed shutting streak continue?



Oh, and let's keep the Textile Bowl!

11/11/2012 6:54:50 PM

WIN

11/11/2012 7:02:47 PM

In typical NC State shit fashion, we win. I can't be mad at a win vs. a ranked opponent. So either way, it's a win/win for State. Right?

11/11/2012 7:04:58 PM

Clemson?

Which play to pull out of the playbook, the 6 yard punt or the 4 yard punt?

I'm sorry but 5 years of beating UNC < being a cog in the circle of suck. With our schedule, we should have had at least 10 wins this season.

Since it is clearly a game we should lose, and it's Clemson, I say:

I'll be going to this game. It'll be my first time going to Death Valley. I plan on drinking enough beer and liquor to be numb to the ass pounding I expect to witness.

11/11/2012 11:37:31 PM

Clemson fans are really nice, I've always enjoyed tailgating there

11/11/2012 11:51:25 PM

That's what I've always heard. I'll be going down with a couple of State fans and one Clemson guy, so it should be a good time.

11/12/2012 12:22:48 AM

If we win this we are atlantic divsion regular season champion or something like that.

Ummm, think about that for a second:
Win: No BCS bowl for Clemson, so they go to the Peach bowl, and we go to Orlando.
Lose: We are 7-5 at best, Atlanta already isnt that keen on us since we were just there in August, so we go to Orlando.
Moral of the story: just win the damn game.

11/12/2012 1:48:51 AM

Winning could cost the school about $1 million in revenue. But I don't really care about that.

11/12/2012 8:24:20 AM

^^ true, atlanta just salivating at the chance to take duke

11/12/2012 8:43:13 AM

whelp, hope we ruin clemson's bcs chances.

most likely, i'll get to see a butt whooping in person.

11/12/2012 9:29:42 AM

Pls 2 not die

11/12/2012 9:32:06 AM

^^^plz explain

11/12/2012 9:32:34 AM

there are no other teams for the peach bowl to take besides us if clemson somehow makes the bcs.

they're not grabbing duke. miami is 5-5 and will likely forfeit the bowl season anyway. unc is not bowl eligible.

11/12/2012 9:39:19 AM

As I've posted in the 2012 thread, if Clemson and FSU win out, this is who the Peach Bowl will have to choose from:

Quote :

"look at the potential candidates: State (7-5 or 6-6) Duke (8-5, 7-6, 7-5, or 6-6) GT, VT, or UVA (at 6-6 or 6-7) Maybe Wake or MD at 6-6 Miami will post season bowl ban (and if they don't, the best they can do is 7-5), the tar holes aren't eligible, they don't have anyone left"

so they're basically forced to take us if they want an attractive candidate that travels well for bowls

11/12/2012 9:41:52 AM

The argument against them taking us is that we've already been to ATL this year. We didn't have a great turnout, and fans may be less ikely to make that trip twice in a season.

11/12/2012 9:45:50 AM

expect plenty of this

for one of these

11/12/2012 12:49:59 PM

I think I'm going to pass on the bowl this year.

They just aren't as attractive as they used to be. The only one that still holds interest to me is the one in Nashville but that is still quite a distance...(8-9 hours by car).

I've been to Charlotte twice, done the Florida bowl, have no interest in El Paso, Atlanta was earlier this year, and have no interest in DC..

The ACC needs some new bowl tie-ins..

11/12/2012 1:17:13 PM

Can we please limit the Shut the Bed and Dancing Ls to once per page? That shit is old and tired anyways. The first page of every game thread is always full of stupid shit like that. Weak.

That said, we are probably going to lose this one. The main reason we won last year was because Watkins was out. Yes our D played lights out, but they were missing their best play maker. Imagine the horror we would have gone threw if we didn't have Russle Wilson and our only true weapon.

I don't understand how everyone thinks Clemson is going to the BCS after losing to USC. Or are you all assuming they will beat USC?

11/12/2012 3:10:52 PM

i don't think the chickens have much of a chance this year without Lattimore

"N.C. State entered the year expecting that its secondary would be a strength with the return of All-American cornerback David Amerson and several returning starters. But Amerson struggled and was beaten in coverage for touchdowns several times in losses to Tennessee and Miami, and the Wolfpack’s pass defense ranks 95th nationally by allowing more than 259 yards per game."
