it's kindof a backhanded compliment, b/c in that presser he basically said he barely knows anything about our team.

go to the tech game

or watch this game

8/25/2008 10:53:23 AM

portable tv, so you can watch this game at the tech game.

8/25/2008 11:10:18 AM

personally, there's nothing that's going to tear me away from being in front of my HD tv for this one....unless it was actually being at the game(not nose bleeding level).

8/25/2008 12:26:03 PM

yeah i'm gonna be locked into this shit on HDTV at the crib...I prefer actually watching games I care about, and not just going to the bar and half ass watching and not being able to necessarily hear...thats cool for OOC bball games, or for games not involving my teams, but I'll be locked into HD

8/25/2008 12:27:58 PM

going to a bar with bigass HDTV's is not bad either.

^^yeah i just think if you really want to pay attention to a game, i prefer doing it at the house where i have control over outside distractions...cheaper beer is nice and being able to channel surf and other stuff is cool, but mostly just being able to pay 100% attention to the game

8/25/2008 2:21:53 PM

keep a water spray bottle on your desk to spray your forehead with so it looks like you're in a cold sweat.

8/25/2008 2:28:18 PM

Just tell your boss you have a terrible case of Anal Glaucoma.

You just can't see your ass makin it in to work.


HAR HAR HAR

8/25/2008 3:01:42 PM

Man I live only about an hour from Columbia, but I won't be able to go to the game. I'll be watching it on TV though.

Still think this will be a very low scoring game with NC State struggling badly on offense and SC mustering up just enough to put a couple of good drives together.

8/25/2008 3:57:06 PM

I'm pumped.

A new season, a new chance to start the season off with a positive and not a negative like usual.

8/25/2008 4:49:31 PM

I'm going! Though I don't know any of ya'll..

sec. 20, row A4, not sure how close/far that is. Any enlightenment?

8/25/2008 6:38:48 PM

also I feel bad for you man, we all know each other on here. Why are you posting if you don't know anyone?

If the Redskins had pummeled the Panthers on Saturday, we might have a chance this Thursday

But I know how much sports karma I have...damn you preseason Panthers

8/25/2008 7:05:30 PM

^ i'm riding the good mojo my friend

8/25/2008 7:16:25 PM

so the O/U is at like 48

i'm taking the under

the spread is between 11.5-13, depending on the sportsbook

do i take nc state to cover??

8/25/2008 7:20:27 PM

^ i wouldn't even consider it.

8/25/2008 7:21:09 PM

^^ down to 45.5 now


I got it under 47

only way it goes anywhere near over is if State's offense is SO bad that South Carolina's defense get turnovers for TDs or really really good field position

LETsTAILGATE-sec 501...we have 8 seats.


by the way how many of yall are staying? We got a hotel room for the night. We are planning on going out to 5 points for college night or vista with the older crowd. Either way should be fun. We are leaving Raleigh at 930AM on Thursday and should be checked in and out at the lot at 230-3. Let me know who of all of yall wants to meet at the Farmers Market Lot(where the consensus of ncsu people will be)

8/25/2008 8:41:04 PM

^ any luck on that other ticket?

8/25/2008 8:49:14 PM

I have 2 tickets from the wolfpack club.

PM me

8/25/2008 9:05:10 PM

What's the walk like from the Farmer's Market lot? My father has bad knees. We'll leave with plenty of time to get to the stadium, but I just don't want to have him walking a real long ways to get to the stadium. As long as it's no farther than the walk from the Vet School lot then that would be a possible place I'll be setting up camp. Hopefully the weather cooperates Thursday. I've got a pop up cover that I got for free from Harris Teeter. I'll get a NCSU one in a few years when I'm more established, but for now that one will do the job. I'm gonna be cooking some barbecued chicken and hopefully our boys will be barbecuing the Chickens come Thursday night.

What all will you guys be cooking at your tailgate?

8/25/2008 9:09:39 PM

USC 54

state 13

8/25/2008 9:17:51 PM

^ gtfo with your trolling

8/25/2008 9:25:13 PM

I know your butt pirate fan but no way South Carolina puts up 54 points. There offense wasn't that good against Playoff Division teams. Plus they make lots of mistakes.

South Carolina very well could win but this will be a tight game.

I think a 13-10 score is very possible.

8/25/2008 9:27:02 PM

my prediction: we average 3.5 yards per carry

the rest takes care of itself

8/25/2008 9:32:08 PM

this needs to be on the top!!! we're less than 2 days away

8/26/2008 10:50:25 PM

DoucheBag and DrunkTyper will be there....woot woot

8/26/2008 10:59:35 PM

my heart says we'll keep it close

my brain says we'll lose by 27

8/26/2008 10:59:56 PM

GO PACK!!!

8/26/2008 11:02:13 PM

So yall that are going, respond to what time you are leaving Raleigh? We would love for a bunch of us to follow each other.

8/26/2008 11:18:11 PM

Quote :

"This is not good news for the Pack. Not against South Carolina. NC State coach Tom O'Brien said Tuesday that running back Jamelle Eugene, the team's top returning rusher, will miss the season opener with an ankle injury. He'll be replaced by senior Andre Brown. Also out is junior Toney Baker, NC State's leading rusher in 2006. Baker is still recovering from preseason knee surgery. The other interesting tidbit to come out of Raleigh on Tuesday was that O'Brien is considering using quarterback Russell Wilson as a punt returner."

8/26/2008 11:26:06 PM

I'm a grad student at USC, so I'll be there in the student section ROOTING FOR THE PACK!!

8/26/2008 11:34:01 PM

IF... and I stress IF (since this is the first game of the season we dont really know for sure) South Carolina's defense is as good as advertised then I'm afraid State wont have a chance. A lot of people have them the best defense in the SEC.

8/26/2008 11:36:28 PM

WE SHALL VICTOR!!!

8/26/2008 11:53:09 PM

So now we are missing:

Both starting safeties (for the season)
Best WR (for the season)
Starting RB/Offensive MVP (nagging ankle injury for who knows how long)
3rd RB (indefinitely)
First OL off the bench (suspended)

Should we worry about our S & C program?


Now we are relying on:
A freshman starting QB in Columbia at night against a top SEC defense for the season opener.
An inexperienced secondary behind our inexperienced linebacking corps.
Talent but question marks at wide receiver.
An injury-prone back who now has to be a workhorse back.
A makeshift offensive line without a talented senior.

Looks like we have our hands full.

8/26/2008 11:58:10 PM

^this almost has that we have everything going against us type feel where we pull some major shit out of our asses to win.

At this rate we'll be lucky to make it down there safely and not crash the bus along the way


Starting to get this funny feeling but I digress
