What kind of Wolfpack Fan are you?
ok well this is from a Texas site where a guy talks about fans that fall into certain stereotypical modes. i found it quite amusing and can be adapted for most bigtime college football fans.

Quote : | "What Kind Of Longhorn Fan Are You? By HornsFan Section: Football Posted on Thu Jul 27, 2006 at 10:25:43 AM EST
54b chimes in with another timeless piece which we can all relate to. I've added photos for visual reference. Enjoy.
Ever since Vince Young led the Texas Longhorns to a last second Rose Bowl win over the greatest team in the history of college football...sorry, I mean the USC Trojans, it seems everyone wants to get in on the party, so much so that the Longhorn Bandwagon now resembles a big burnt orange snowball rolling down hill picking up fans and smothering critics all at the same time. And since the Longhorn fan base seems to be growing to no end, I thought it only appropriate that I help identify a few of the lesser-known members of Burnt Orange Nation in a little segment I like to call...
WHO'S JUMPING ON THE LONGHORN FAN-WAGON?
"THAT GUY" Yep, this is the guy who started a Texas-Fight chant at the last wedding, funeral, bat mitzvah, etc. you attended. He's most likely in his mid-twenties, terminally single (but claims he's dating the twirler), and works for his father who got him into UT in the first place. He's easy to spot because he always shows up to the tailgate wearing the shirt you swore the Longhorn Co-op stocked by accident, drinking generic beer but stealing your Bug Light, and when somebody takes a picture, he always jumps in at the last second grabbing his crotch and pointing at your date's cleavage. The best thing about that guy, he doesn't even know he's that guy.
"That Guy." Front and center.
"THE TEX-PATRIOT" His name is usually Edward or Blake and though he had the grades to get in and desperately wanted to go to UT, he got busted with pot his senior year (the only time he ever tried it) and his parents forced him to go to a Division III, Liberal Arts school back east to prevent him from hanging with his slacker high school friends any longer. With no chance to come back to Austin because his forward thinking school didn't allow freshmen to have cars, he actually went to class, studied, graduated and married the first girl he laid. (Her name is usually Bethany, Margaret or Sarah Elizabeth.) Anyway, the Tex-Pat finally got to move back to Austin after Law School where he does well enough for himself that he can donate significantly to a school he never attended and commandeer decent season tickets on the West side. He's easy to spot because he's usually wearing a light-orange Izod with the collar turned up and he spends the entire game telling anyone who will listen what a "diehard Longhorn" he is. Unfortunately, he never makes it past the 3rd quarter because his wife is always complaining about the heat and eternally self-conscious because though she was considered hot back east, she knows she's pretty much a pasty-white troll by Texas standards.
The Tex-Pats get ready to leave in the 3rd quarter.
"THE QUEER STEER" Though most of our Log Cabin Longhorn friends feel the burnt orange color is barbaric and clashes with most of their clothing ensembles, you will not find a more loyal or knowledgeable group of fans. Just because their version of the Hook'em Horns hand gesture may be a couple of degrees off of vertical doesn't mean they don't get upset when the center-quarterback exchange goes awry. The boys from "Texas Queer for the Straight Steer" want to remind everyone to, "Come early, be proud, stay hard and wear something super, like an orange scarf."
Queer Steer Motto: Shirt optional.
"13-Year-Old Bad Ass" Though he's only 4-foot-seven, wears size "husky" dungarees, and runs the 40-yard-dash in a shade under Tuesday, he still shows up to every game in his unofficial #10 Vince Young jersey, Under-Armer shirt, and Nike elbow sweatbands. Like any 13-year-old Longhorn fan, he's full of hot dogs and delusions of playing for Texas one day. Unfortunately, an untimely growth spurt and a dominating performance at last weekend's St. Agnus Private School Flag Football Jamboree has lulled him into a false sense of his own athletic prowess. Chances are good that the only thing he'll ever play at DKR is a tuba, and if he ever actually did meet Vince Young, he'd probably shit himself.
[image]http://www.burntorangenation.com/images/admin/younghorn.bmp[image] Young, rabid... destined for the band.
"THE FOREIGN EXCHANGE FAN" Also known as "The Donger," bless his heart, he knows almost as much about football as he does about girls. And though he can't understand why anyone would use a pigskin for something other than Mu-Shu Pork, he manages to break out of the library and find his way to the stadium on Saturdays. If you end up sitting next to him, he'll most likely spend the entire game explaining that the probability of getting 50-yard line seats from the student draw and a date with a cheerleader are 4.3-gazillion to 1. But what the hey, "Go Ronghorns!"
Still learning the intricacies of the Hook `Em.
"LITTLE MISS LONGHORN" Despite an ambient temperature of 110 degrees at game time, her game-day outfit, make-up and hair are painstakingly perfect. (Think Charles Darwin at Nieman Marcus.) Unfortunately, the intended targets of her extreme fake-over aren't interested in talking about "Brad and Angelina." So in order to make a big entrance and gain the attention she so desperately craves, she must demonstrate a grasp for football beyond a remedial knowledge of the game. She has to say something current, something edgy, something she probably just pilfered from the water cooler at work, something like, "I find Greg Davis' play-calling to be uninventive." And you know the best part of all, even though her bullshit is as transparent as Greg Davis' play-calling, if she's at all good looking, every guy nearby will simply smile and reply, "Wow, that's fascinating, can I get you another beer."
A gaggle of Little Miss Longhorns pre-gaming. Complete with "That Guy" overhead.
"FRAT RAT" a.k.a. "the Frosh." He looks 15 but tries to hide it by dropping an F-bombs for no reason and smoking Marlboro Lights even though it's 400 degrees outside. In high school, he liked to think of himself as a tortured, anarchist, Nine Inch Nail listening, non-conformist. Ironically, in an effort not to stick out, he's now sporting a $9 trim from Pro-Cuts, some ironed-on Wranglers and a pair of scuff-free Red Wings hardly concealing a flask of some low rent rum just like all the rest of his flock sitting in the frat block. And to make matters worse, he knows very little about UT tradition and even less about football. Chances are solid that he'll pass out shortly after halftime and his set-up date will be going home with someone else.
"UNCLE RICO" He swears to anyone within earshot that if he hadn't knocked up the Tasty Freeze drive-thru girl in 10th grade, he would have been all-state and would have been offered a full ride to play QB for Texas. Despite never actually going to UT and dropping out after a semester and half at Texas State, he still shows up to every game wearing an official Longhorn football jersey. But unlike the "13-Year-Old Bad Ass," Rico puts his own name and number on the back. He also brings a football along to the game to "stay warm" in case he "gets the call to go in." Though he looks harmless, approach with caution, as this All-Star is always a threat to drop back to pass, even in the line at the men's room.
Uncle Rico, at right, was a Texas HeroTM in the 1960s. He swears.
"GRUMPY OLD HORN" He's an older baby boomer and graduated from UT back in the late 50's or early 60's. He's never approved of a UT coach since Daryl and begins every sentence with "back in my day." Though he's not "technically racist" and talks non-stop about his love for VY, he secretly relishes the fact that UT had the last all-white National Championship team. Though he's easy to overlook, you'll invariably hear him because he's always making loud comments to his subservient wife about how he can't see and how everyone around him is out of control. If you ever find yourself sitting next to the Grumpy Old Horn, I suggest you launch a preemptive strike by getting shit faced and yelling, "Daryl would've never called that play and I wish all you drunks would sit down and shut up." Everyone around you will hate you, but the old man will be so shocked he might have a heart attack. If you're lucky. Otherwise, you're in for four straight hours of prostate talk.
Beat his wife back before the "hippies sunk this country."
There you have it. Who'd I miss?

http://www.collegefootballnews.com/acc/2006_Previews/2006_ACC_UnitRankings.htm
College Football News ranks the 2006 units of the ACC.
Quote : | "2006 ACC Preview Unit Rankings
Team Previews Duke | Boston College | Clemson | Florida State | Georgia Tech | Maryland | Miami North Carolina | NC State | Virginia | Virginia Tech | Wake Forest
Offenses 1. Florida State There's way too much speed and way too much returning talent to not be more consistent. It all stems from the offensive line, which was never healthy last year but has just about all the key parts returning. The receiving corps should be fantastic if Greg Carr and De'Cody Fagg end up being consistent home-run hitters while Chris Davis makes plays like a number one target. Lorenzo Booker and Antone Smith might be the fastest backs in the country, but they need holes to run through. QB Drew Weatherford had a tremendous freshman year and should be even better now that he knows what he's doing. 2. Clemson 3. Miami 4. Virginia Tech 5. Georgia Tech 6. Maryland 7. Boston College 8. Virginia 9. NC State 10. Wake Forest 11. North Carolina 12. Duke
Quarterbacks 1. Florida State Everyone raise your hand, including the FSU coaching staff, if you thought Drew Weatherford was going to start every game and arguably, turn into the ACC Player of the Year. He's a tough, confident passer who became a better decision maker as the year went on. Xavier Lee is a multi-talented playmaker who might not settle for being the second banana for too long. He'll get a shot to make more of an impact this fall when he comes back from a shoulder injury. 2. Miami 3 Georgia Tech 4. Clemson 5. Boston College 6. Maryland 7. Virginia Tech 8. Virginia 9. NC State 10. Wake Forest 11. North Carolina 12. Duke
Running Backs 1. Clemson Is this the ACC's best backfield? If not, it's close with three great options and a true freshman in C.J. Spiller that might turn out to be the best of the bunch. James Davis is a 1,000-yard back waiting to happen with the hands and moves to do everything for the offense, while Reggie Merriweather is a productive, experienced number two back who can handle the starting job if needed. Demerick Chancellor is one of the team's fastest players and should be used as a big play back throughout the year. Alex Pearson is a big blocking fullback who should be a fine replacement for Cliff Harrell. 2. Maryland 3. Miami 4. Virginia Tech 5. Florida State 6. Boston College 7. North Carolina 8. Wake Forest 9. NC State 10. Georgia Tech 11. Virginia 12. Duke
Receivers 1. Florida State The receiving corps is loaded with size, speed, talent, and now, experience. Chris Davis is a nice veteran to serve as a go-to target, while Greg Carr and De'Cody Fagg are big, lightning fast deep receiver who'll led Drew Weatherford bomb away. Joslin Shaw is a rising playmaker after converting from running back, and track star Kenny O'Neal will bring even more speed. The concern, at least early on, will be at tight end needing true freshmen Brandon Warren and Caz Piurowski to push Charlie Graham. 2. Virginia Tech 3. Miami 4. Clemson 5. Virginia 6. Georgia Tech 7. Maryland 8. NC State 9. Boston College 10. North Carolina 11. Wake Forest 12. Duke
Offensive Lines 1. Clemson The line is very big and very, very experienced with all five starters returning and several other quality reserves that can step in without missing a beat. Consistency will be the key needing to be better in pass protection. Having a mobile quarterback like Will Proctor will help. It'll be a dominant run blocking unit that should pave the way for well over 2,000 yards on the ground. Roman Fry earned all-star honors at left guard last year, and he won't be the only All-ACC performer this season with tackle Barry Richardson and center Dustin Fry sure to get attention. 2. Georgia Tech 3. Florida State 4. Maryland 5. Boston College 6. Virginia 7. Virginia Tech 8. Miami 9. Wake Forest 10. NC State 11. North Carolina 12. Duke
Defenses 1. Miami The defense will once again be among the best in the nation with size, speed, and backups that would start for about 100 other teams. The safeties are among the best in Miami history with Brandon Meriweather and Kelly Phillips each deserving of All-America consideration and Anthony Reddick and Lovon Ponder more than good enough to step in without missing a beat. Cornerback is the X factor needing Glenn Sharpe to be ready to roll after suffering a knee injury last year and Randy Phillips needing to step up and be a consistent playmaker. There are too many great defensive ends and linebackers for the starting spots, and the tackles have the potential to be a strength after a little bit of starting experience. 2. Virginia Tech 3. Clemson 4. Georgia Tech 5. Florida State 6. Boston College 7. NC State 8. Maryland 9. North Carolina 10. Virginia 11. Wake Forest 12. Duke
Defensive Lines 1. Miami The line could be something special if the tackles come through with big seasons. 300 pounders Kareem Brown and Antonio Dixon and the quick Teraz McCray should be strong against the run, but the starting experience isn't there. The ends are deep and fantastic as Baraka Atkins, Bryan Pata, Eric Moncur and Calais Campbell are all pass rushing terrors who'll form a great rotation to steadily get to the quarterback. 2. Georgia Tech 3. Clemson 4. Florida State 5. Virginia Tech 6. Boston College 7. NC State 8. North Carolina 9. Duke 10. Maryland 11. Virginia 12. Wake Forest
Linebackers 1. Miami There aren't any national stars, at least not yet, but the return of Tavares Gooden from a shoulder injury, Darryl Sharpton from an ankle and knee problem, and Willie Williams getting a full season healthy will make this a very good, very deep corps. It's not all that big, but everyone can run and there will be big-time competition all season long for playing time. Glenn Cook will have a fight on his hands with Sharpton for the job in the middle, while veteran Jon Beason will have to use his experience to hold off Williams. 2. Virginia Tech 3. Georgia Tech 4. Clemson 5. Florida State 6. Boston College 7. Maryland 8. Wake Forest 9. NC State 10. Virginia 11. North Carolina 12. Duke
Defensive Backs 1. Miami This won't be the nation's number one pass defense again, but it won't be far off. There's a little bit of a question mark at corner needing Glenn Sharpe to return 100% from a torn ACL and hoping for either Randy Phillips or Bruce Johnson to go from being decent backup to a solid starter, or else hope for star recruit Ryan Hill to live up to expectations right away. The safeties are among the deepest and most talented Miami has ever had with Brandon Meriweather and Kenny Phillips each on the short list for All-America honors and Anthony Reddick, once he returns from a knee injury, isn't far behind. Lovon Ponder is a great looking young safety who has to somehow find his way on the field. 2. Virginia Tech 3. NC State 4. Boston College 5. Florida State 6. Clemson 7. Maryland 8. Virginia 9. North Carolina 10. Georgia Tech 11. Duke 12. Wake Forest
Special Teams 1. Virginia Tech As always, the Virginia Tech special teams will be among the best in the country. Placekicker Brandon Pace and punter Nic Schmitt are All-America candidates, and now the return game has to step up after a mediocre 2005. Eddie Royal is too speedy not to do more as the team's main kick returner, while the rest of the top receivers will also provide a little help. 2. Miami 3. NC State 4. Maryland 5. North Carolina 6. Florida State 7. Georgia Tech 8. Boston College 9. Clemson 10. Virginia 11. Wake Forest 12. Duke" |
The one ranking that irks me the most is the ranking of our RB's. 9th! I know we probably aren't 1st, I give Clemson the nod on that one, but fucking 9th! Someone show this to AB and TB! 7/31/2006 6:14:59 PM |

RANKINGS DON'T PROVE S***! (ESPECIALLY THOSE OF PRE-SEASON)
I can promise you that NC State will do alot better than people think they'll do this year. (We have a knack for showing up at the opposite situations in MOST sports)
Whoever made that rankings in the first post has a bandwagon bias and didn't do enough research. We are going to surprise people on offense and defense this year...

Im still laughing that they think UNC's RBs are better than ours.
I mean we made an All-American transfer, another highly touted RB move to wideout, and another moved to lineback because our 2 backs are so good.

GoPack.com is getting revamped.
http://www.gopack.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=9200&ATCLID=523260
Quote : | "BY TIM PEELER
RALEIGH -- Welcome to the new GoPack.com.
Did you notice the difference?
Perhaps not, here in the first few hours of NC State’s newly redesigned athletics department website. But in the coming months, we hope that you will see a wealth of new possibilities to serve everyone who has an interest in any part of Wolfpack athletics, including fans, alumni, media and students.
Here’s the big change: As of today, we have partnered with XOS Technologies, a Sanford, Fla.-based web-hosting company to implement the new website. We have new audio and video capabilities, a new look and more new features than we’ve had since the website was first launched.
For the last five years, the website has been hosted by College Sports Television, one of the largest web-hosting companies in the country. During that time, GoPack.com has grown immensely in content and in reaching Wolfpack fans globally.
Our new platform, however, offers new possibilities, as you will see throughout the coming school year. And our new premium content service, Pack Pass, will offer a much more intimate look inside NC State athletics.
Over the last six months, our website development team has considered a variety of new ideas to incorporate into the site. Not all of them are here just yet, but we will be rolling out new features throughout the coming school year, such as live streaming of events and press conferences, more interviews and features on athletes, coaches and athletics department administration and a broader look at what makes NC State attractive to prospective student-athletes.
And, as much as we have looked towards the future, we have also spent more time chronicling the history and tradition of Wolfpack athletics. The new “Traditions” tab on the upper right corner of the website gives a brief look at some of the individual and team accomplishments over more than a century of college athletics. We believe you will enjoy traveling through history, as we bring you a series of multi-media looks at the rich tradition of NC State athletics over the coming months.
We will be adding vintage clips from our vast video vault, including past bowl games and some of the most exciting moments in NCAA Tournament history.
“Our web development team has put a lot of effort in finding new and different possibilities for the website,” NC State athletics director Lee Fowler said. “We can now take advantage of cutting-edge technology to promote our student-athletes accomplishments and to inform everyone who has an interest in NC State athletics.”
The development team included Wolfpack Sports Marketing general manager Brian Asbill, GoPack.com managing editor Tony Haynes, media relations associate director Chennelle Miller, associate athletics director for external affairs Dick Christy, director of athletics marketing Chris Alston, Wolfpack Club assistant director Media Hooks, Wolfpack Sports Marketing sponsorship coordinator Sarah Stoneman and athletics department intern Krisin Fowler and myself.
"We need to extend a significant amount of thanks and credit to our partners at XOS Technologies, particularly Dan Noble and his technical team, and to Katie Weinberg, GoPack.com's customer relations manager," Asbill said. "Since we initiated discussions with XOS earlier this year, we have been continually impressed with their commitment to bring the latest technological advances to the market for our fans to experience."
Bear with us through August. This is our month of trial and error, of getting the kinks out of the new system, and of getting our brains and fingers to work a different way. Our goal by the time school starts and football season begins on Sept. 2 to have everything archived properly and all information about the coming school year ready to roll.
Feel free to complain – at least until we have everything in proper working order. If you see something that’s missing, something that you don’t like or something you would like to see more of, feel free to e-mail me at tim_peeler@ncsu.edu. Not every idea will be incorporated into the new site, but in order to better serve the NC State community, we want to know what you want.
For those who previously had subscriptions to the Yahoo! Service to receive broadcasts of football and basketball games, that agreement has ended. However, the new Pack Pass will offer a variety of audio, video and premium content that far exceeds the old platform’s capabilities. You want podcasts of Chuck Amato and Sidney Lowe’s weekly radio and television shows? Pack Pass will have them. You want to see the weekly television shows covering NC State athletics, it will be there too.
