Who is the other quarterback that gets to play on Saturday???

Is it Everett proctor??? or some walkon???

4/16/2009 9:33:38 PM

well, considering Proctor is still at Jack Britt, probably not.

It's a walkon.

4/16/2009 9:36:19 PM

harrison beck will be parachuting in for the second half.

4/16/2009 10:12:20 PM

^hopefully his chute won't deploy

4/16/2009 10:18:19 PM

aww we already got rid of him, that's not necessary

I was reading something the other day that said we were picked to finish last in our division

4/20/2009 11:38:28 AM

Irving thinks we're farther along than last year:

^^^ I don't see VT scoring 27 on our D, unless they get a pick 6 or a ST TD. our QBs seem to take care of the ball now and our special teams is pretty decent in terms of kickoff/punt return coverage. their offense doesn't usually put up a lot of points.

Tyrod Taylor may also have a breakout year (and probably will against us) but i read where observers of their spring game said it looked like SOS.

4/20/2009 2:35:17 PM

What have some of you guys' away game experiences been like?

4/20/2009 2:37:29 PM

In general or at Virginia tech?

4/20/2009 2:52:00 PM

i know everyone is saying florida state is going to be good this year, but i am not buying it at all.

4/20/2009 3:05:04 PM

my experiences:

@ Wake Forest - high school football environment, never won there. no bad seats, nice fans
@ Clemson- awesomeness and great fans (duh, i am one)
@ VT - fans sucked, grabbed by Tremaine Hall jersey and ripped it off my back in the stands
@ duke - LOL
@ unc - great last year, other few times was awful
@ GT - good place, nice fans
@ south carolina - worst environment you will ever experience. horrible fans, stadium sucks, columbia is a shithole.
@ uva - very pretty, definitely along the lines of wake forest environment, lackluster douchebag fans
@ michigan - cool fans, cool stadium, but no team of mine was playing against them

^beating duke @ duke this past season was almost as fun as beating unc @ unc. I went with a whole gaggle of duke fans, and this was when we were 2-6 and duke was like, around 4-4 or so and thought they were gonna beat us and be a win away from bowl eligibility. I loved every second of it

4/20/2009 3:34:37 PM

it was a really fun game. basically another home game for us. i'm really ready for duke to come to CF this year

4/20/2009 3:38:44 PM

I, too, am not buying FSU being a dominant team this year.

4/20/2009 4:14:56 PM

Here comes the predictions where we will go undefeated or be a 1 loss team....

I saw all this last year

and the year before

Too many Ddays till South Carolina game

4/20/2009 4:42:37 PM

^^Pretty sure no one here predicted us to have 0-1 losses last year.

4/20/2009 5:15:22 PM

The thing about this year is there are ZERO games on our schedule I deem unwinnable. Last year, I think everyone knew that Clemson and USF would demolish us. Most probably didn't think we had a chance against FSU or Wake either. This year is different.

We won't win them all though, and it's retarded to think otherwise. But if we stay healthy, I can see us winning all but two games.

[Edited on April 20, 2009 at 5:58 PM. Reason : ]

My predictions for this upcoming kick ass schedule:

Thu, Sep 03 South Carolina Raleigh, N.C. W 27-14
Sat, Sep 12 Murray State Raleigh, N.C. W 35-10
Sat, Sep 19 Gardner Webb Raleigh, N.C. W 38-3

Sat, Oct 03 Wake Forest * at Winston-Salem, N.C. W 17-10
Sat, Oct 10 Duke * Raleigh, N.C. W 21-7
Sat, Oct 17 Boston College * at Chestnut Hill, Mass. W 28-13
Sat, Oct 31 Florida State * at Tallahassee, Fla. 35-21
Sat, Nov 07 Maryland * Raleigh, N.C. 13-7 in 1 OT
Sat, Nov 14 Clemson * Raleigh, N.C. 28-14
Sat, Nov 21 Virginia Tech * at Blacksburg, Va. L 17-21
Sat, Nov 28 North Carolina * Raleigh, N.C. W 38-17


I dont normally like to predict stuff, but if this holds up, it would be one HELL of a season! GO PACK!

4/20/2009 7:50:54 PM

Lets have fall practice and see what the injury situation is like before we go prediction 1 loss seasons.

Seconded. I didn't have many expectations last year, nothing like this year. I'm trying to keep myself in check though.

4/20/2009 8:42:38 PM

i predicted 6-6, although not after 2-6. and a bowl win for 7-6, or a bowl loss if we were 7-5 to go to 7-6. anyways, i'm still thinking 8-4 this year before the bowl.

4/20/2009 8:43:54 PM

as far as my away game experiences go

@ECU, very similar to state's atmosphere on a smaller scale
@UNC, ehh, it was fun this past year but otherwise kinda boring
@Duke, never tailgated for the game, every time i've been there have been more state fans
@Clemson, incredible, the whole town explodes on game day, orange everywhere, I could see State's gameday atmosphere being like it if we were located in a small town
@South Carolina, probably the closest atmosphere to state i've ever been too, lots of drunk and rabid fans, stadium off campus, columbia does suck though.
@UVA, like UNC if UNC had the means to tailgate properly and not in a parking deck.
@UGA, very cool, probably the best experience i've had. you can tailgate right on campus in front of halls where classes are held. We walked right through the middle of campus to get to the stadium and tents with liquor and barbecues were everywhere. I really wish we could schedule a home and away with them, despite how bad we may get beat.
@Maryland, i'm not going back, fans are obnoxious and more concerned with being douchebags than the actual football game.
@VT, really cool, very loud, good tailgating, nice campus, fans are similar to ours
@Wake, alot like UNC fan wise, stadium is small, kind of in between duke and unc overall.
@BC, never been there while a game was going on but it seemed to be in a really uppity neighborhood that wasen't tailgate friendly, visiting Harvard's stadium was cooler imo.
@FSU, one of my top 5 for sure, only drawback to the atmosphere is that Tallahassee is kind of scary.
@Auburn, Florida, UT, all very similar to UGA, the sheer size of Neyland was striking. All three college towns with insane tailgating and very loud during game time.

4/21/2009 12:58:54 AM

oh yea i forgot that i went to the ECU game in greenville when we snapped our losing streak! they have a good environment but their fans were assholes

4/21/2009 10:48:45 AM

Damn I've got to get to a game at UGA. And VT. And Clemson.

So far, I've only been to games at Wake (tiny), UNC (bland), and Duke (nonexistant). My sample size of other ACC stadiums is pretty depressing.

Although I did go to a game at App once ... kind of cool.

4/21/2009 11:03:26 AM

I just heard that ESPN is reporting that T.J. Yates will be out for 6 weeks with a thumb injury, but will be back for training camp. I guess what they mean is he can't do the little workouts that the teams have each week. Still if it is the thumb on his throwing hand it could impact him early on in the season.

4/24/2009 11:29:31 AM

I was just wondering what was going on with TJ Graham he didn't play in spring game and haven't heard anything about injuries or academics. He definetly is a big help to our team. So I am hoping he is just doing track or something.

4/24/2009 1:22:35 PM

a frisbee puts you in a cast for 6 weeks?? wat a fuckin pussy

4/24/2009 1:32:22 PM

So I went back and started looking at some of the statistics, and over the final 6 regular season games (FSU to Miami), we averaged 171 rushing yards per game. Throw in the disappointing 95 yard rushing outing against Rutgers and our average still only drops to 160 rushing yards per game. I know some people have been saying that our o-line is a concern, but I'm truly not concerned about it. I think they'll have their mental mistakes corrected come September 3rd. With TOB and Horton the o-line should end up being a strength for many years for us.

4/24/2009 10:38:30 PM

NOT

SOON

ENOUGH

It was indeed his throwing hand. Can't throw for those 6 weeks.

They were playing ultimate frisbee.

How many on the o-line left after last year? And what experience do we have with the existing o-line?

4/24/2009 10:53:31 PM

RAWR best picture ever.

someone make sure this sign is red again for the game this year. its right next to a major road and perfect. They always protect the old well and all that anyway.

Better yet, they might be watching this this year. So anywhere else that visible will be fantastic.

4/24/2009 11:08:10 PM

Think TA might come back for his last year of eligibility?
