My 42-17 prediction was almost correct

Tom O'Brian says: "We need to teach these kids how to win"

How fucking embarassing is that shit. They are football players. You need to teach them how to fucking play football first asshole.

what an astounding bit of observation there, buddy. you mean to tell me that we've lost to UNC the last 3 times we played 'em AND we lost to them last year? (i know you meant ezu)

9/22/2007 10:32:00 PM

what an ass. he comes in and sucks then acts like the kids suck and nobdoy around here knows anything about winning. we were good and the talent of guys like andre brown willie young and darrell blackman won't be replaced once its gone.

9/22/2007 10:40:56 PM

our o-line can't block worth a damn, so running backs and receivers don't mean squat.

9/22/2007 10:45:21 PM

Well we have gone 1-10 in our last 11 games. We sure seem like we have forgotten how to win. Besides terrible O-line play, it could be all mental. Look at Kentucky, they were terrible for a long time and even when they had chances to win they couldn't. Now they are playing great and it's b/c they know how to win now. They improved a lot during last season and now are playing so well that they are in the Top 25.

9/22/2007 11:01:55 PM

blind optimism. five ... eight times per thread.

9/22/2007 11:03:54 PM

this team is bad. get over it.

to judge a coach four games into his first season w/ nothing but skill players (save a qb that can actuall throw and has experience), is absurd.

9/22/2007 11:15:36 PM

I feel bad for the defense. they made some great stops and forced a good number of 3rd and longs, but when they bust their ass and have to go right back on the field because of shitty performance by the offense, it's like wtf?!!

we need a god damn offense, and it can start with the O-Line

well technically...

9/22/2007 11:32:15 PM

even if you do buy them, you have to make it look like you didn't.

so either way it takes time.

9/22/2007 11:35:26 PM

i know it takes time, but we can try coaching the ones we have can't we?

it's obvious that whatever we're doing with them right now isn't really working.

9/22/2007 11:43:35 PM

you guys think I could get a football scholarship?

I'm positive I could suck just as bad and I'm also positive I would raise the team's avg gpa by like .5

9/22/2007 11:47:23 PM

for real, too bad alums can't walk on. I suck just as bad as the rest of our team.

9/22/2007 11:48:53 PM

As poor a performance as our team had, I did at least enjoy shouting at Tommy Bowden to GTFO the field late in the second quarter. If only they had tossed him out of the game, we may have had a chance.

9/22/2007 11:53:36 PM

^ Are you kidding? He's a Bowden. They (and their proteges, as Chuck will attest) are masters of inept coaching. Recruiting is a different story.

9/22/2007 11:57:31 PM

^^ yeah seemed like he stormed out on the field and stomped around like a baby approx every other play, that shit was getting old

9/23/2007 12:07:08 AM

i took a vid of "GTFO Tommy Bowden," i was sittin like 5 rows up.

if you want to see the vid it's on my facebook.

"Yashar" on the NC State network.

9/23/2007 12:07:30 AM

State is a joke this year and we suck huge, but stop the bashing of O'Brien. We all knew that we'd be lucky to win 4-5 games this season so don't get all pissed off when a top 15 team with two elite RBs rolls into Carter Finley and burn us for over 300 yards on the ground and 600 yards overall.

We have no defensive or offensive line, our best players on both sides of the ball are hurt (Hill and Pressley) and our QBs are about as useful as Chuck's Walk of Champions bullshit or his discipline speeches.

I think we should just line up Blackman at QB and let him try to dodge as many people as he can 50 times a game. We might actually get more first downs that way and it'd be more entertaining.

Honestly all we can hope for out of this season is that the younger players develop and get experience, the defense learns how to play the zone, and that we are better team (not necessarily a good team) by the time Maryland comes to CF and punches us in the face.

^ true. true.

9/23/2007 1:07:40 AM

honestly though......this next statement sums up the game:

There were two teams on the field today. One could block and stop the run, the other couldn't block and couldn't stop the run. The final score of the game was 42-20. Guess which team was which, and which team scored which point. Its as simple as that

9/23/2007 1:12:57 AM

So our team blows?

Just like we've always blown before and after Rivers/Holt?

Fill me in, boys.

9/23/2007 1:32:54 AM

i'll fill you in, you are a stupid slut.

Tell me what makes us better.

I called the FSU win way way way back when.

I'm an optimistic fan, but I need to know what I'm being optimistic about...and I ain't seen shit so far.

9/23/2007 1:43:00 AM

on an unrelated note, i just checked my attendance history and it says i was penalized for the wofford game

guess it's too late to appeal it

9/23/2007 1:54:42 AM

The team is pretty much in exactly the same position it was when Amato took over, except there is no Philip Rivers and we are so jaded that we refuse to admit we aren't ad great as we pretend to be.

9/23/2007 2:05:51 AM

^^yeah me to, fucking ticket system

I wonder how many people have been penalized but don't know it since they don't check it.

We may have been bad today, but at least our fans didn't charge the other side with cheating. There is a thread on IC that claims USF was "Belichicking." They are unbelievable.

The solution is to put in Wilson (16) at QB. I heard he is an awesome scrambler and knows how thread the needle when it comes to passing.

Why not give him a shot at it? He should have been in during the 4th Quarter of the game yesterday getting some quality reps.
I'd love to see us utilize a QB who has arm strength and scrambling prowess.

9/23/2007 12:00:27 PM

the solution is marcus stone
the solution is daniel evans
the solution is justin burke

[Edited on September 23, 2007 at 12:42 PM. Reason : wilson is a true freshman, right? why burn the redshirt, it's not like QB is the only problem]

justin burke isn't even close. not even enough to be delusional about him.

Normally I wouldn't argue with you when there is still a chance to win the game and there is good weather....

But yesterday the game was over and people were passing out all over the place. I didn't even drink and I felt dizzy. I'm not going to sit out in 90 degree heat and 100 percent humidity to watch this team suck balls. I'll stay and cheer if I'm not dehydrating and light headed, but yesterday was miserable and our shit team didnt help.

9/23/2007 1:52:04 PM

Why not burn the redshirt? He'll have 3 more years to lead the team if he proves himself.

I hear that Wilson is one heckuva scrambler and passer.

9/23/2007 2:56:35 PM

burning a redshirt when you're missing one or two pieces to having a good team is one thing...but we're missing just about everything. might as well chalk this up as a "rebuilding year" and hope next year we have a fucking line and a punter who can get more than 19 yards

not until we stop sucking balls

It's getting to the point that I'd rather watch the shit on TV, at least that way I can flip the station and watch a real game and not this TIER 2 football that NC State football is.

9/23/2007 4:05:35 PM

3 or 4 years ago (when we were decent), I would be in the worst mood after a loss. It would be to the point I would not talk to anyone for a few hours and be in a shitty mood the rest of the night.

The past couples years, and this year, it hasn't even really phased me. I'm like, "oh well."

9/23/2007 6:20:29 PM

^ same. I hate it. I actually feel a little empty inside.

9/23/2007 6:53:49 PM

I just go to the games to have a good laugh. I haven't been this entertained in years.
