Ok...now it is time to figure out which bowl will we go to...

Do we hold out for the Car Care Bowl, or just accept the first bid...

11/29/2008 3:31:20 PM

I'm betting we'll end up in DC.

11/29/2008 3:32:45 PM

I would think Maryland ends up in DC since its closer for them...

11/29/2008 3:33:35 PM

The only way we could even sniff Charlotte is if UNC loses today I think

11/29/2008 3:34:35 PM

I think DC also.. they already have Navy coming so that should be good for the local people. Maryland vs. Navy would be interesting I guess, but loses any type of regional appeal outside of the state and the fans of those teams. NCSU vs. Navy has some storyline to it, and would draw a broad range of interest especially for a first time bowl game.

11/29/2008 3:35:23 PM

Awesome game, awesome end to the season. 4 games after the break, 4 wins. Now our guys have another 3 weeks to a month to practice and get more reps together, which can only benefit the team.

11/29/2008 3:36:33 PM

We want Wake to lose, or we'll be competing with Clemson for one of the acc bowls, I think. If Clemson was chosen over us, we'd have to hope the other conferences left enough spots open for us.

NBC is projecting us in the Eaglebank, and leaving Clemson out completely. CBS is projecting Clemson in an ACC bowl, and leaving us out.

11/29/2008 3:38:47 PM

We travel well and bowl committees know this...maybe we can skip over some teams with better records like we did over BC a few years ago.

11/29/2008 3:39:20 PM

The Independance Bowl and Texas Bowl might have just found the two teams they're looking for. Virginia, NC State AND Clemson are all one half closer to bowl eligibility right now.:

Daniel Evans took the knee, lol.

11/29/2008 3:45:39 PM

^I almost shed a tear.

but not really.

11/29/2008 3:51:43 PM

So, looking at the game stats from the overall game...

Andre Brown threw an INT? Wtf?

11/29/2008 3:52:32 PM

^yeah, it was an ill-advised halfback pass,

11/29/2008 3:54:07 PM

I think if given the chance, any bowl would pick us over UNC right now, haha.

If T. Lewis is back and healthy for Duke I think they can upset UNC.

obviously CBS is a bunch of pussies

the U thing on that last miami touchdown when the cheerleaders were running across with the flags was classic. wish I would've had the video recording on my phone.

11/29/2008 4:13:15 PM

Thanks for a nice finish to what at first looked like a lock on a 1 - 11 season.

11/29/2008 4:30:34 PM

^

11/29/2008 4:53:22 PM

If we can keep the O rolling next season like we have it going right now and let the D get a little older and healthier, we can be dangerous. And please let Nate make the right choice and come back for another year.

The future is looking really bright right now.

11/29/2008 4:55:11 PM

Russell Wilson is the real deal. He had to fight for his own birthday present but it is a sweet one, and I'm sure he's getting the rest tonight.

11/29/2008 4:55:22 PM

So since we are 4-4 and beat Wake, does that mean we finished ahead of them in the ACC Atlantic standings?

11/29/2008 5:05:34 PM

^^^ Nate's only a sophomore, he'll be back

GJ today Pack!



[Edited on November 29, 2008 at 5:07 PM. Reason : ^ Brass: Yes, AND AHEAD OF UNC IN OVERALL STANDINGS TOO ]

11/29/2008 5:06:17 PM

Well Nate is a Redshirt Sophomore, meaning he's been in school for three years. Nate could go if he wanted too. I hope he stays like Cash and Young plan on.

11/29/2008 5:12:46 PM

he will NOT go pro...............
he is not ready

11/29/2008 5:15:11 PM

I've got to say that Miami has some fast linebackers. Their running backs, James and Cooper, will also likely be in the NFL sometime in the future. Also their tight end, Epps, was pretty good as well. Make no mistake about it this Miami team has some talent. I'm glad we don't have to face them again for a few years as they'll likely be one of the main contenders for the Coastal next season.

11/29/2008 5:18:56 PM

yeah, eugene kept trying to bounce it outside and was getting nowhere. I bet their defense got tired of chasing wilson though. and ha, the roommate had to work today and is now watching the game on the dvr

except the acc title game

11/29/2008 5:34:54 PM

WHAT BOWL ARE WE GOING TO???

11/29/2008 5:48:34 PM

If we get stronger over the off season 2009 Pack is going to be dirty (assuming we keep what we have)

11/29/2008 5:56:46 PM

^ bowl game (extra practices) is key for that

11/29/2008 5:57:26 PM

no one has answered my question god damnit

when will we know fo sho what bowl we are going to?

11/29/2008 6:01:49 PM

after the ACC championship game

[Edited on November 29, 2008 at 6:02 PM. Reason : which is next sat]

11/29/2008 6:02:21 PM

ok

a friend told me we would most likely play Navy? and this cannot happen because it is the day of my best friends wedding... see http://www.thewolfweb.com/message_topic.aspx?topic=546220

i hope she understands

11/29/2008 6:04:14 PM

we probably will play Navy in DC

or perhaps Rutgers in Charlotte

11/29/2008 6:05:18 PM

i will make a thread shortly and let TWW decide how i shall break the news to her that i shant be attending her wedding

11/29/2008 6:06:07 PM

no one knows where or if we're going anywhere at this point. but luckily other conferences don't have enough eligible teams.

sheraton hawaii bowl

11/29/2008 6:08:35 PM

11/29/2008 6:09:18 PM

Good god, how did I miss this last week. It's from the espn article about our win. About Miami loosing last week to GT.

Any way I can watch this or some highlight clips of this?????????

11/29/2008 7:19:51 PM

dvr ftw

11/29/2008 7:21:24 PM

WOOT for Brown, had a hell of a game even with that INT

Gonna miss him after this year

11/29/2008 7:28:07 PM

Went to school from 2004-2008 and not to much to be proud about sports-wise, but definitely a good last game as an undergrad

11/29/2008 7:34:23 PM

Seeing the kicker make the tackle on that kickoff was one of the greatest things I have seen this year. Kid came out of nowhere.

11/29/2008 7:57:10 PM

haha. pierson had a couple tackles

11/29/2008 7:58:06 PM

It was a great Senior Day for me and all NC State Seniors

11/29/2008 8:02:23 PM

i love TOB's quote about the trick play..

he said something like, for all those people wanting the fancy trick plays, there you go. i don't want to hear anything else about it (laughing).

haha

11/29/2008 8:04:21 PM

where can i find the clip of the kicker hunting down the return guy and teaching him a lesson?

11/29/2008 8:07:07 PM

A "thanks!" to Andre Brown and the other seniors, a "happy birthday" to Russell Wilson, & a "job well done" to Czajkowski (GOT to give him his props) , Irving, Gray, Eugene, Graham, and the rest. As of now, Spencer's redeemed. Don't fail me now.

Quote :

"where can i find the clip of the kicker hunting down the return guy and teaching him a lesson?"

That was nice. Didn't he make a tackle on his previous kick?


Also, SFN has an article about the season that includes such interesting tid-bits as: [The Pack is the first team in ACC history to start 0-4 in conference play, and still finish at .500. The 4-game ACC win-streak is NCSU's longest since '92.]
