I found some undercover TWWers at the game. After our touchdown i yelled "And Boom goes the Dynamite" and three nerds turned around to laugh. No offense guys.

that was a fun game either way

[Edited on September 9, 2006 at 6:53 PM. Reason : regardless of what happened the refs shouldn't have ran off that fast]

9/9/2006 6:52:58 PM

hahaha... the old people in Vaughan towers were pretty much chanting that they wanted Akron's QB

my thought on the game: WE'RE COMING AROUND. Our Offense looked great in the 4th quarter. Now our biggest concern is the deep ball.. Our DB's need to step it up.

9/9/2006 7:07:09 PM

they just talked about chuck being on the hot seat again on ESPN and didn't even show highlights of the end of the game

9/9/2006 7:08:53 PM

haha. They just completely ripped us apart on ESPN. hah. The guy said chuck might not even make it through the rest of the season and that losing in week 2 to a mac team is an embarrassment.

[Edited on September 9, 2006 at 7:09 PM. Reason : ^ hah. just a little bit earlier]

9/9/2006 7:09:11 PM

it is embarrassing and we do suck.

9/9/2006 7:10:02 PM

Hah. They're about to talk crap about us again on espn 2 during halftime of the AZ-LSU game

Bad thing is people thought we were gonna win and didn't come.

That cartoon is pretty fucking funny. We couldn't be more of a laughing stock of college athletics this year. Between the Basketball coaching search and Amato, hell hath no fucking fury

9/9/2006 7:54:54 PM

As much as I haet the fact that we picked up our first "L" of the season...I was glad when Marcus finally got into a rhythm....I haet it that our defense was on the fiield for 95% of teh damn game...BUT I must say I saw 'some' improvement in Marcus's play...and our defense overall will learn from this overall loss...and Ill be looking forward to see how they respond in a hostile environment in Southern MISS.


I was watching the game at the Carolina Ale house in Durham...with a group of die hard Wolfpack Alumni, and the one good thing we can take out of this game is that our offensive line is maturing,...b/c no Akron player hardly ever got to Marcus the whole game.....GO PACK..learn from your mistakes....and THANK GOD this wasnt an ACC game....but playing Southern Miss, will be like playing Alabama in their home....so BE READY...GO PACK!

hey Nash thanks for spelling Vaughan right. holla at you and the lady

it was a little more than that.. the only places that had a bunch of empty seats were the upper right corner of the non-press box side and the new end zone

PLEASE. Headline: Middling team loses to slightly worse team. People don't even care enough about us to laugh. Colorado is a bigger laughing stock, easily.

carolina fans are laughing.

9/10/2006 12:04:38 AM

No Carolina fans are still wandering win they are going to pick up there first win of the season! hehe

9/10/2006 12:14:16 AM

we definitely should have kicked the field goal on 4th down. Sure we would have only been up by 6, but it totally changed the tempo of the game. The only reason Akron was able to surge up and drive 90 some yards on us was because they were motivated from stopping our td attempt.

With a 13-7 lead they probably wouldn't have scored, and if they had we would have had 2-3 minutes to drive down the field, use up the clock, and kick the winning field goal. Going for it simply put the game into their hands.

and no, i probably wouldn't be bitching about this play call if we'd made it

^^I don't disagree with going for it on 4th down

I disagree with Marcus Stone executing that play

9/10/2006 1:38:25 PM

Replay on ESPN looked like Marcus got down to about the 2.5 yard line and got knocked back about a yard, then they marked it where he landed, and not where his forward progress was stopped. Plus, Toney was tripped and fell on the 4 yard line a few plays earlier, and they marked that ball at the 5. Every fucking play that was close someone came in and moved the ball back a few feet. This was not limited to this one posession.



IDK why i'm even bitching...the line judge was Rick Page (TA -6 points from the board vs. UNC for those who dont know).

I dont mean to be a stone hater but I saw several plays yesterday where there was NO pressure on him and all he had to do was just throw a short 10 yard pass to a wide open man and was constantly under throwing the ball.

9/10/2006 2:49:03 PM

yeah he looked nervous as hell BUT



he did have a pretty decent passing game in the 2nd half

I would say they got a 90 + yard drive on us because we stopped pressuring the QB. Hell, worked well for 3 and a half quarters, no reason to stick with it.

9/10/2006 4:08:37 PM

anyone know for sure what kind of helo did a fly by during the game?

It was an AH-64 aka Apache

9/11/2006 7:38:53 AM

It's pretty bad when the best part of the game was a Toyota commercial that crossed the line.

"So, I'm driving in my Tundra and I'm seeing people pulling off the road. I think WTF! Is there an ambulance? Nope, it's just me in my Tundra running those tiny car bastards off the road! LOL. I'M THE MAN."

9/11/2006 8:07:22 AM

ok i hadnt seen that picture yet, now im just pissed off.

i dont care if its Akron, he's down and that play should have been reviewed.

The picture proves nothing. The guy wasn't down. I don't understand why this is so hard for people.

Fixed. When the stadium gets emptier and emptier as time goes by don't assume people aren't coming because they are expecting a "W"

I was off on the score some, but I called this loss. I wish I had put some money on it

9/11/2006 9:57:09 AM

i'm not surprised by this loss...its state athletics

we lose the ones we are supposed to win...and vice versa

"Why is he not down again?"

Video shows the tip of the ball crossing the plane of the endzone before it was down.

Why do you think you only see people screaming bloody murder posting this one picture taken at an arbitrary time instead of video of the play which obviously exists?

Because the video shows him in and everyone at the game saw it and if they deny it they just have their heads up their asses.

If a single millimeter of that football breaks the plane of the front of the white line of the endzone for even a millisecond before the runner is down, it's a touchdown. It did, we lost.

"Also, one comment to those fans I overheard after the game saying "It's ok, because next year Bill Cowher will be on the sidelines", etc. [Lee Corso] "Not so fast, my friend!!!" [/Lee Corso] This is what makes members of the media call State fans "dillusional". Good grief, man! Bill Cowher is a great guy, great coach, and loves NC State. But what leads you to conclusively say he will be the coach at NC State. Stop your mouth and think, "Should I put on my aluminum hat before I say this?" If yes is the answer, then keep your mouth shut. I know I complain about officials, and I believe in a UNC slant in the media and in Greensboro at the ACC headquarters, but come on! This is stretching it a little farther than it's supposed to go. Just let it rest. If Cowher SOMEDAY coaches at NC State, then great, GO WOLFPACK! But don't pin your hopes on the coach of the DEFENDING SUPERBOWL CHAMPIONS leaving one year later to coach in college. Sorry, but you're better off pinning your hopes on winning the Powerball....

I know I said this in another thread, but upon further review, there is indisputable evidence that it belongs in this thread instead of the other.
