^hey a bowl is a bowl, especially since we were the only team in NC to go to one!

and #1 pick is huge, say what you want about chuck, but he has raised the talent level around the NC State football program leaps and bounds

someday when the staff comes together, and Marcus Stone is selling used cars this may translate into some wins!!!

Fire up the Chuckwagon for the recruiting trail!!!!

so what it boils down to is, we had the greatest defensive line in the history of college football, and yet we struggled to make the tire bowl.


DOH!!!!!

"NEW YORK -- At 9:01 p.m., the crowd in a packed room at the 40/40 Club in Manhattan swiveled collectively towards the door as Reggie Bush walked through. The party to announce the running back as the cover athlete for EA Sports' "NCAA Football '07" was supposed to be a celebration. Although Bush held his smile as his diamond earrings sparkled, it was hard to believe everything was OK. The guy who was, just days ago, the only lock in the draft was not going to be the No. 1 pick after all. It was a fact that partygoers and media members found out just moments before as the breaking news box on the bottom-right corner of the flat-screen television monitors tuned to ESPNEWS had revealed. Word circulated like a game of quiet telephone. The Texans had signed defensive end Mario Williams. As Bush stepped near the microphone, a man introduced him. "The Heisman Trophy winner and potential first ... " You could tell the man was editing, realizing this was no longer possible. He continued. "Uh, second-round draft pick." Well, it was doubtful that Bush would fall that far. Bush was first asked a series of questions about his video-gaming prowess, perhaps a relief from the barrage of questions he has already faced about the investigation surrounding his family's former home. Then he publicly addressed the reality of knowing that, in 15 hours, his name would not be called first. "I was preparing to be the first pick, but I was also ready if I wasn't the first pick," Bush said. "You know, Mario is a great player, he's a great person and I got a chance to spend some time with him and some other guys this week. He deserves it. He has worked his butt off to get to this point." After the diplomacy, came a bit more emotion. Said Bush: "It's a little disappointing because it's everyone's dream to be the No. 1 draft pick." -- Darren Rovell "

" MANNY AMONG BOYS Saturday is going to be a gi-normous day for North Carolina State's defensive line. Williams is now expected to go No. 1 and his other end counterpart, Manny Lawson, could sneak into the draft's top 15 picks, higher than many mock drafts are expecting. Lawson probably has this figured out by now -- he scored a remarkable 43 on the Wonderlic test that measures a person's intelligence. But it was not just Lawson's Wonderlic that stood out. So do some of his other numbers: Lawson is 6-foot-6, 249 pounds. He runs the 40 in 4.41 seconds. He bench pressed 225 pounds 25 times. He vertical jumped 39 ½ inches. He long jumped 10.6 feet. Lawson is an engineering major, captain of his football team, ran track at North Carolina State and never has been injured. Don't be surprised to see his name called shortly after Williams'. "

That's how we do bitches....

here's hoping the Texans do something about protecting Carr so they don't have Mario playing 40+ minutes a game...

4/29/2006 11:47:33 AM

[Edited on April 29, 2006 at 11:59 AM. Reason : i mean, why do they think he had to sit out plays, he was on the field 2/3ds to 3/4ths of the game]
