Why would anyone pay $20,000 for a degree from this place?

Anyway, this isn't really related to football anymore.

I know these are based on different ranking systems...but if the 36th best in NC is the 56th best in the country, then does that mean there are THAT MANY great QBs in NC?

I think you've got it backwards, hoss

8/19/2011 2:46:29 PM

this guy is responsible for so many s

8/19/2011 2:51:47 PM

I thought it was 36th best player in the state. Not qb.

8/19/2011 2:52:49 PM

I doubt there are even 36 QB prospects in the state

[Edited on August 19, 2011 at 2:59 PM. Reason : aha 8 QBs from the class of 2011 signed at D-I schools]

[Edited on August 19, 2011 at 2:59 PM. Reason : only five at FBS schools]

Why do so many UNC fans forget that one Dan Evans beat them while throwing two picks on the goal line?

8/19/2011 3:48:55 PM

how does that pertain to 2011?

nah, but this guy is

Kuhn is a monster. His arms are as big around as any other D-Lineman's head. Seemed like a really nice guy too, we brought our baby to Meet the Pack day and he asked to hold and eat him

8/19/2011 4:33:55 PM

He looks much more human with hair

no

but there is nobody on either team that played in the game you are referencing

so what does it matter?

8/19/2011 4:39:09 PM

what is the maximum # of years that Glennon could stay here. 2? or is there a possibility at 3.

8/19/2011 4:41:11 PM

healthy? 2

nice of him to honor the request... but that sure is a strange request. kuhn's a guy that i love though, just from the stories of him flying to the states w/ his dad and showing up at head coaches' offices. that's how you get shit done; leave it to a german to show that kind of initiative.

8/19/2011 5:25:02 PM

Well he asked to hold the little guy. After we snapped a pic, sweezy made a joke about eating my boy. Had to take a pic of it, haha. Great guy

Gearin' up for the 2011 Football Season!

I'm about to start the new series of http://wolfpackcartoons.com. Got another brand new style I'm trying out so we'll see how it rolls.

The best way to stay up to date is by "liking" my fan page at http://facebook.com/markmclawhorn.art

I've also got twitter at http://twitter.com/markmclawhorn but all that really does is just populate the facebook fan page posts.

GO PACK!

8/20/2011 12:23:18 PM

that's a great look

I see the letter is addressed to someone at State. What does it say?

8/20/2011 12:43:28 PM

Thanks Ribs!

it was a letter from someone who really enjoyed the nc state fair

The media likes us more than the coaches do, apparently

33rd AP ranking (15 votes)
44th Coaches' poll ranking (4 votes)

Also of note: no votes for UNC in the AP poll. UNC was ahead of us with 14 votes in the coaches' poll. I'm surprised it wasn't the other way around.

JR Sweezy out 6 weeks...

"NC State defensive tackle JR Sweezy will miss the next six weeks after having surgery on a foot fracture."

Quote :

"Looks like Sweezy can be back at the earliest for game #5 (Georgia Tech). Likely to miss Liberty, Wake, South Alabama, and Cincy."

Per PackPride twitter account... http://twitter.com/#!/PackPride

8/21/2011 6:50:09 PM

we have the absolute worst luck year after year. i swear there is something wrong with our conditioning or training or something... it is crazy

8/21/2011 7:12:51 PM

injuries are a part of sports. i don't think we've had any more injuries than the average team, with the exception of the year before last. but it definitely sucks to lose our defensive captain, and our best rb. but at least they'll be back (hopefully) after a few games.

8/21/2011 8:14:09 PM

If there is a silver lining to the whole thing it's that we should be able to take care of everyone up until the GT game, which is when Moose and Sweezy would return.

8/21/2011 8:25:38 PM

wait, what happened to greene?

8/21/2011 8:29:02 PM

isn't that our only injury so far? no one makes it through camp w/ no injuries.

8/21/2011 8:40:46 PM

dont sleep on Cincy... they are going to be a solid team this year

8/21/2011 8:43:20 PM

^^^Specifically, I don't know his injury...I believe it's a leg injury (knee maybe?). But it was announced around the time of the ACC media days.

8/21/2011 8:46:33 PM

Greene busted up his foot in the spring.

8/21/2011 10:17:07 PM

Duran Christophe probably won't be available for the first several games either.

8/21/2011 10:26:53 PM

Christophe might be back for the first game. Should miss 2 games at most.

8/21/2011 10:44:04 PM

Sweezy out 6 weeks

8/21/2011 10:54:16 PM

No easy way to embed it... but there's some fun stuff in here, particularly at the beginning and end: http://www.gopack.com/allaccess/?media=257067

8/22/2011 12:59:49 AM

So the DT starters will be The Kuhn and Slay? With Teal getting some reps too?

"isn't that our only injury so far?"

By my count, here is the breakdown

Fall camp injuries:
Jarvis Byrd
Duran Christophe
J.R. Sweezy

Injuries from Spring:
Mustafa Greene
Andew Wallace
Logan Winkles

Quote :

I'd agree with this. I think we'll definitely see A.J. Ferguson getting rotated in there as well. Carlos Gray could see some early action as well. Don't forget that Cato-Bishop weighs 280 lbs. They have him listed at DE, but they may consider throwing him in at DT too.

8/22/2011 9:00:06 AM

Hmm...I wonder what bone Sweezy broke in his foot. 6 weeks sounds like they fixated it with K-wire. Maybe I should bring back my Sports Medicine thread.

8/22/2011 2:15:59 PM

Someone needs to start the 2011 Tailgate thread.

But since it isn't up yet decided to post this here. We are trying to kick our tailgate up a notch this year and bring my flat screen(I think its a 36 inch) out to tailgate with the rabbit ears to just have something to watch.

Wanted to know 2 things for anyone that does that out at the games

1 - Will the cheap antenna be fine out on the fairgrounds or should I spent a bit more for on the powered ones? They range in cost from like $10-50.

2 - For powering the TV, anyone got recommendations? Can't afford one of those quiet generators, and I've see some of those power inverters...anyone use those? Any suggestions on the cheapest and easiest way to power a tv would be great, 3-4 hours of runtime would be fine.

8/23/2011 8:27:00 AM

Last year we were freakishly healthy. Just a guess, but I would say we were top 10-15 in the country with the least amount of injuries.

Seems like we're just falling back in line this year. Every team suffers injuries. Before last year, we definitely had above average amount of injuries...but we're par for the course right now.

8/23/2011 8:35:07 AM

^^We've used one of the cheap HD antennas (~$15) very successfully at our tailgates. If you don't want to pony up for a generator, the easiest and cheapest option would be a power inverter for your car's cig lighter. The downside is you'll have to remember to crank your vehicle at regular intervals and let it run for a few minutes to maintain enough juice to start your car to go home.

8/23/2011 8:43:17 AM

Buy a marine battery for ~$100 from Walmart. They will last ~5 hours

8/23/2011 10:57:09 AM

6'4" 210
5th Most yards passing in NCHSAA History (9,488)
27-13 as HS starter
3,385yds and 24TDs as a Senior

Not bad for a 5th String Walk-On QB. Wouldn't surprise me to see him eventually pass Taylor on Depth Chart.
