it is good to hear ajiboye isn't playing against us... at least for the time being, wasen't he looking like an all-sec candidate?

8/5/2009 3:45:03 PM

so, who has tickets for me?

8/5/2009 4:22:16 PM

there is an off chance that i'll have two tickets (to sell) for this game. i won't know until closer to gametime though.

good tickets though, and right behind yours truly.

[Edited on August 5, 2009 at 4:30 PM. Reason : no parking pass, however.]

8/5/2009 4:25:28 PM

I'll take them off of you if they do indeed become available

Im Flying down from new york for the game

8/5/2009 4:37:30 PM

^ recognize motherfucker, I am first in line

^^ oh reaaaaaaly? can you handle 4 quarters of objective comments and Eric Berry worship?

8/5/2009 4:49:39 PM

i think i can handle it. can you handle the guy that'd be next to you that yells either "TACKLE HIM" or "BLOCK SOMEBODY" or "INTERCEPT!" during every play?

8/5/2009 4:55:31 PM

so weird reading that article on SC. It was like a who's who of NC guys we've recruited the last 2-3 years.

8/5/2009 6:03:32 PM

Just got my season tickets, but can't make all the games (wedding in October).

So I've got 2 tickets in Section 24, Row RR and a parking pass to sell for games against:

Murray State - Sat, Sept. 12
Duke - Sat, Oct 10
Maryland - Sat, Nov 07

PM if interested, thanks.

I wonder how much that ranking would have dropped if they hadn't played us

Watched the College Football Live football tour of America NC edition tonight. Shit was a a joke. Terrible. One of the worst episodes of all of the states I've seen. They talked about App. and UNC more than us. Hardly a mention of us!

8/5/2009 7:52:34 PM

I can vouch for Slater, he's probably cooler.

8/5/2009 7:53:17 PM

^^ but they have butch davis who will build their dynasty.

8/5/2009 8:08:40 PM

Yeah the NC espn 50 state edition, SUCKED ASS!! Appalachian, UNC and ECU were talked about in every other sentence, and maybe a 3 sec. interlude of Rivers....


I hope we give them something to talk about this damn season!

8/6/2009 12:17:09 AM

I am way too pumped for football season.

quality video.

Great video ^^

8/6/2009 1:00:36 AM

I had been looking forward to NC day on College Football Live for a month and it completely sucked.

8/6/2009 7:19:50 AM

well, it is espn. when is the last time they've done something nice for us?

8/6/2009 7:31:09 AM

I stayed up way too late last night watching the 41-10 beatdown (have it saved on the DVR). I didn't think I could get any more excited and impatient, but that sure as hell did it.

8/6/2009 8:13:07 AM

this is going to be the longest 28 days in history.. september 3rd, please to get here fast!!!

and i will find tickets to this game somehow, i will not miss it..

8/6/2009 9:09:38 AM

I am usually on the UNC bias bandwagon, but I didn't think the NC cf live was too bad. Only thing that made it look the least bit biased was the BD interview at the end. That guy sounds like a dumbass to me whenever he does an interview, I am not sure if he is playing up the southern accent or what, but he just sounds dopey!

8/6/2009 9:21:41 AM

^^ it won't be hard, just show up.

^^I can't stand the way he kinda purses his lips and sounds like he's trying to be a Southern Sean Connery. Bugs the crap outta me, but maybe I'm just hearing things.

^^that was a rough, rough game to be at/watch!

8/6/2009 10:13:28 AM

honestly, i had a blast at that game.

8/6/2009 10:19:59 AM

oh yes, completely awful. i left at halftime for the first time in my life, and did not regret it one bit. that game was possibly the lowpoint for NC State football the past 8 years, and the rain simply added to the poop show on the field. coming of huge losses to SC and Clemson, then getting trounced by USF in a monsoon. thank God we turned it around...

8/6/2009 10:24:16 AM

The South Florida game got fun around the 3rd/4th quarters because of how badly we were losing and how much rain was coming down. It was ridiculous enough to make it all fun.

8/6/2009 10:30:35 AM

^ I'm usually the last one in my group that wants to leave, but I left this game around half-time and ended up at my car 1.5 hrs later due to the monsoon and stopping to drink with the alumni in their tents along the way. Hopefully those performances are a thing of the past!

8/6/2009 10:34:17 AM

Fuck that. The lowpoint for me was losing to ECU at Carter Finley for the last game of the season while the goal posts were lowered before the game even officially ended. I have NEVER been more ashamed of the football team in my life. The goal posts represented the team just laying down and allowing the butt raping. To make it worse, they hadn't lowered the posts even after the BC hail mary win or the FSU win that followed that one earlier in the year!

8/6/2009 10:50:24 AM

^I dunno man, I think I have to disagree with you there. I mean that was pretty much a season of inches.

8/6/2009 10:54:36 AM

What critics?

Dude, I wish I had your experience. That game was absolutely hell for me.

I got tickets on a whim, drove down from Winston-Salem, got in the gate right before kickoff, then BAM -- the monsoon comes. Me and the people I was with tried to wait it out, but it got downright ridiculous. I ran all the way back to my car at halftime, stripped down to my boxers, and drove back to Winston-Salem (I had planned to stay in Raleigh overnight with some friends -- but I was too cold/pissed).

I shiver everytime I think about that crapfest of a game.

8/6/2009 11:12:47 AM

ICE!

8/6/2009 12:17:09 PM

what was the score of the USF game? I really dont remember it

8/6/2009 12:20:26 PM

41-10

8/6/2009 12:21:27 PM

^^ the only good thing about that game was in the 2nd half, standing on the 50 yd line, 3-4 rows up to watch the suckage. I had to run back to the car during halftime to grab some jackets to go under our ponchos though, the rain was pretty ridiculous.

8/6/2009 12:22:00 PM

jesus christ... guess I had put that out of my mind... last few seasons at State have been a blur... was that the game where people thought the guy fumbled on the goal line but he didnt? or was that Akron?

8/6/2009 12:25:31 PM

That was in 2006, Chuck's last season. Game was against Akron. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQh0G7tqDQY

8/6/2009 12:39:40 PM

8/6/2009 1:00:13 PM

fannies! dairy queen! penalties! trifecta of flagulation!

sounds like a reporter from charlotte observer made a big deal about the team standing under the shelter during a storm:
