I've already convinced myself of the following:

Evans will start this game.

Wilson will come in to replace Evans late in the 3rd when we're already down by 4 TDs.

Glennon will redshirt this year.

All 4 of the QBs (other than Glennon) will get significant time this year due to injuries and general suckiness of our QB situation.

8/11/2008 10:21:32 AM

YOU, SIR!!

























Have made a very safe and fair assessment.

i'm convinced that glennon will start, personally.

8/11/2008 10:52:35 AM

wouldn't it be fun to have a preseason where there wasn't a big ? as to who the qb is?

i say no because it's nc state tradition. just like the 1:1 touchdown to interception ratio.

8/11/2008 11:03:14 AM

I'm convinced we would have won 2 more games at least last year if we could have just cut the turnovers down to a zero count, not a positive, just zero. I think we'll get more than we expect out of this season if we can keep posession of the football.

Established in 1992 by the College Football Association the group recognizes the efforts made by college football players and support staff off of the field. Brown has been one of the most active Wolfpack student-athletes with regard to community service since stepping foot in Raleigh. He has participated regularly in the athletic department's annual Wolfpack Blitz, volunteered at Habitat for Humanity and assisted with leadership conferences at area middle schools. Brown has been very vocal throughout the Wake County school system, speaking frequently on the eight Wake County character traits of courage, good judgment, integrity, kindness, perseverance, respect, responsibility and self-discipline. Brown's involvement with the area community is nothing new, as he received the ACC Top Six for Service Award at the recent NC State All Sports Banquet."

Great story on John Ripple, the state's first player to garner All-American honors. His family recently donated $100,000 to endow a scholarship in his name to go to an offensive lineman. Ripple also played on the basketball team.

And the top 5 choices are:

Quote :

"1.“Hey Baby” (1962), Bruce Channel: The original sounds like a good song for shagging, and those of you who love beach music know what I mean. For the last couple of years, the NC State Marching Band has been playing a live version of this song, which was recently selected as one of the Top 20 beach music songs of all time. Grammy-award-winning country and blues artist Delbert McClinton gave the original recording its distinctive opening note on the harmonica. But it translates well to the trumpet, too. Little known fact: When Bruce Channel toured the UK in 1962, one of his opening acts was a local band called “The Beatles.” Legend has it that McClinton taught the band’s young guitarist, a chap named John Lennon, how to play the harmonica. 2.“You Give Love a Bad Name” (1986), Bon Jovi: The top single from this 1980s hair band’s third album, Slippery When Wet, became a rock anthem and started the group on its path to international stardom. However, it should not be confused with another Bon Jovi song called “Shot Through the Heart,” even though those are the first four words of the song and opening of line the chorus. Little known fact: This song was originally written by for 1980s Canadian cheese band Loverboy, though that band never recorded a version of the song. Thank the good Lord. 3.“Song of the South” (1989), Alabama: Alabama was the most commercially successful country band of the 1980s, which is one of two decades since the 1910s that the University of Alabama did not win a national championship in football. Coincidence? Probably so, since one has nothing to do with the other. This song, one of the group’s 32 No. 1 country songs, is an ode to Depression-era Dixie, referring to pickin’ cotton and eatin’ sweet-potato pie, which everyone knows is a much better Thanksgiving Day dessert than its mealy-tasting pumpkin cousin. Little known fact: Walt Disney’s first live-action film was called “Song of the South” (1946), but it has never been released on DVD or VHS in the United States because of racial insensitivity. The Academy Award-winning song “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” was first featured in the movie. It, however, is not a candidate in the poll. 4.“I Won't Back Down” (1989), Tom Petty: The veteran front man backed away from his band, The Heartbreakers, on his first solo album and this single was the runaway hit. Petty included this rock anthem during his four-song halftime performance at the 2008 Super Bowl. The late Johnny Cash does a great version of this song as well. Personally, that’s the version I would like to hear on the stadium loudspeakers heading into the fourth quarter. Little known fact: Both George W. Bush and Hillary Clinton, as well as successful Virginia senatorial candidate Jim Webb, used this song during political campaigns, often against Petty’s will. His publishing company sent Bush a cease-and-desist order in 2000. 5.“Start Me Up” (1981), Rolling Stones: Before they sang this song at halftime of the 2006 Super Bowl, Mick Jagger and the boys sang it twice at Carter-Finley Stadium, on Sept. 16, 1989, [ticket price: $28.50] and Sept. 7, 1994, [ticket price: $50]. Those were two of the few mainstream concerts hosted on the Wolfpack’s home turf in the last 20 years. So that’s gives the Pack fans a good reason to snag this as a late-game anthem. Then again, the Stones also sang it three years ago at Wallace Wade Stadium in Durham [ticket price: $98.50]. NC State might have to beat Duke to the punch. The Stones played this at halftime of the 2006 Super Bowl as well. Little known fact: Some of the original version’s lyrics and drum beats were recorded in a New York City bathroom in 1980."

8/11/2008 6:09:25 PM

do we have to choose from those songs? they all are pretty sucky and the only reason I can fathom state listing those is because they are at the bottom end of licensing costs (although the stones song would disprove that).

8/11/2008 6:27:30 PM

^ they don't all suck, hey baby is perfect b/c we already sing along to it.

8/11/2008 6:46:00 PM

yeah, this whole voting idea is stupid.

"Hey, lets try and make a tradition by changing the tradition that we have already started and make a new tradition."

thats one thing NC State does well.......make new traditions every year and then change them

8/11/2008 6:56:41 PM

those are fucking horrible options... and Hey Baby is already used by almost every team anyways

8/11/2008 7:04:45 PM

we should play "I wanna be like you" the king louis song from Junglebook

8/11/2008 7:25:55 PM

Those song choices are terrrrible. Listening to "Hey Baby" at every game is already annoying enough as it is.

8/11/2008 7:43:55 PM

Hey Baby, Song of the South, and Bon Jovi are the only ones that should be considered. Not because they're better songs, but because I can't see the other ones working as "Sing Alongs."

8/11/2008 7:54:11 PM

The series record is 24 wins for State, 23 wins for South Carolina, and 4 ties. We have won the past 4 games with them. Let's extend the winning streak to 5!

TOM PETTY leading the way? We better not have to hear that on the sideline this fall. Unless you guys are planning on really not singing along.

8/11/2008 9:25:19 PM

i dont understand why we would play hey baby through the speakers when our band already plays it and they could still do that during a tv timeout or btw the 1st and 2nd quaters

the only song that makes sense from this list is song of the south, i would be embarrassed to hear any of the other songs

8/11/2008 9:44:23 PM

NONE of this makes sense.

8/11/2008 9:45:06 PM

At first I was thinking Hey Baby all the way, b/c I'm used to the band playing it, but now that I think about it, I have really warmed up to the idea of Song of the South. Does anyone else even play that? I've never heard it at any other sporting event or at any of the college venues I've been to. Would the band play it or would it be played over the speakers? I think the band should still play Hey Baby at some point though. None of the others make sense though. I'm a huge Tom Petty fan, but if "I Won't Back Down" wins I am going to flip my shit.

8/11/2008 9:56:22 PM

I hope that a clear leader for the QB spot emerges and word leaks out soon. If no clear leader emerges.... all will be silent up until game time.....and Daniel Evans will back under center....

also we should play a fox 50 commercial when we take our last timeout on a third down

8/12/2008 12:20:13 AM

dude that's what our fucking song should be. i want you to want me.

8/12/2008 12:38:18 AM

how is song of the south redneck shit? its a song about growing up in the south during the depression and the struggles that went along with that and the resulting pride that a lot of the south now feels. and seeing as how state is the "university of the people" i would say this song represents us fairly well

and y would we play hey baby over loud speakers when our band already plays it
