anyone else more excited for this than Christmas this year? haha, i am

12/10/2008 11:00:26 PM

buy tickets....lots of them

12/11/2008 12:53:25 PM

new jersey sucks

12/11/2008 12:58:47 PM

don't bash nj

12/11/2008 1:17:40 PM

NJ has put out a lot of good bands over the years. New Brunswick was a hotbed for awhile.

12/11/2008 1:28:24 PM

^ doesn't change the fact that New Jersey sucks.

12/11/2008 1:43:35 PM

not a place that I would want to live at least, I can agree to that extent.

12/11/2008 1:46:34 PM

NJ is the armpit of America.

12/11/2008 5:30:42 PM

i like New Jersey women

12/11/2008 5:32:15 PM

I really want to go

12/11/2008 5:33:26 PM

12/11/2008 5:34:57 PM

sooo... it's been a few days, whats to story on ticket sales?

12/11/2008 9:02:48 PM

coming from someone who has lived half my life in nj and the other half in nc, most of you have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to nj. I'll be the first to admit that Trenton, AC, Newark, Camden are as shitty as as their rep claims, but the rest of the state is beautiful.

fun fact... there are more horses in nj than there are in all of kentucky.

12/12/2008 10:16:32 AM

Also, I'd say that west virginia, mississippi, alabama, arkansas, and the rest of the deep south qualify as the arm pit of america way more than nj

12/12/2008 10:18:18 AM

west virginia has lots of awesome stuff to do.

12/12/2008 10:22:05 AM

Like your cousins?

12/12/2008 10:22:55 AM

i set 'em up. you knock 'em down.

12/12/2008 10:30:22 AM

^^^ I'm sorry I've been to New Jersey and it is as crappy as everyone says. The only good thing to come out of New Jersey= Bon Jovi

12/12/2008 10:46:11 AM

like i said most of you have no idea

one of these things is not like the others...


but the point of this thread isn't to talk about how shitty NJ may or may not (lol) be.

let's talk about how we need to beat Rutgahs worse than UNC did, and keep momentum rolling into next season

west virginia being seperated from the deep south.

12/12/2008 11:36:52 AM

Some of my family lives in the Northern part of NJ somewhere. I've only gone up once but I thought it was pretty nice. Someone pumping your gas for you is a little odd though.

Very true. I was in Charlestown and in one day I went to a casino, bet on horses, and went to a full nude strip club that served liquor. It was a really fun time.

12/12/2008 11:42:07 AM

i'll let it go if the rest of you do. GO PACK

12/12/2008 11:43:44 AM

i went to seaside heights over the summer and it was everything and more of what i thought it would be.

no wonder all the locals call it sleazeside lol i got to see the infamous Guido Fist Pump several times and lols were had by all.

i did, however, enjoy going to Atlantic City. The fucking traffic around seaside heights is just fucking terrible though

12/12/2008 12:12:34 PM

LBI is where you want to go

12/12/2008 12:19:23 PM

If you puchase guest tickets to the game is it general admission as well? We looked at the website and we can get section 12 row 63 seats..but that is really high up there. Anybody know any better seats?? We have 4 people...

12/12/2008 12:23:57 PM

"west virginia, mississippi, alabama, arkansas, and the rest of the deep south "

I'll give you the above but as with NJ, parts of all of the above are nice. W virginia we've discussed.
Alabama gulf coast is really nice, MIssisippi's as well and the Mountains in Arkansas...
Sterotypes applied to the whole often have this problem.

Southern Jersey is great, northern is questionable.

12/12/2008 12:32:08 PM

So does anyone know how many tickets the Wolfpack faithful have pruchased...just want to know if we've outsold the Rutgers crowd???

"so is being conf usa champions a bigger deal than ncsu getting into the pizza bowl? someone i know was trying to talk down on the ncsu thing cause their school ecu won conf usa..."

Several of my friends were saying the same shit to me. I'm like "Conference USA...HA!" Like it's some big accolade to win their conference over us doing well at the end of our season (with most of our players back to good health and etc.) in a much HARDER conference. Blah! But it is what it is.

12/12/2008 12:45:09 PM

my motto has always been "you cant talk shit if you didnt win your conference"

i mean, thats how ive been brought up, and thats how most athletes not only feel, but are coached to feel


if you didnt win your conference, no shit talk about conference winners because they know more about it than you

just sayin

plus to be fair they do get to go to hawaii. thats somethin i guess...

fuck hawaii and their cant raise livestock and gotta eat canned spam everyday asses id rather be strung up a tree in birmingham

12/12/2008 12:50:14 PM

Look, would you talk shit to a retard who won a medal at the special olympics?

If not, then leave the ECU fans alone. They're special too!

12/12/2008 12:50:51 PM

lol

12/12/2008 12:51:24 PM

Pictures from some of the players shopping for toys with some of the money raised by the Toys For Tots program. I like the picture of Andre Brown grabbing a stack of NC State Football calendars.

12/12/2008 1:10:03 PM

cant wait to go to birmingham on the 28th SON

12/12/2008 2:39:32 PM

Does anyone know TOB's all-time record against Rutgers? It looks like he knows how to beat them lately:

2004, BC beat Rutgers 21-10
2003, BC beat Rutgers 35-25
2002, BC beat Rutgers 44-14

12/12/2008 2:53:57 PM

and on the sixth day, God took a massive stringy dump, and he named it New Jersey


genesis, old testament, look it up

12/12/2008 5:52:54 PM

"NC State Bookstores Papa Johns Bowl We're also giving away two pairs of tickets to the Bowl Game! If you really want to go to the Papa Johns Bowl in Birmingham, Alabama which will be on December 29th at 2:00pm but don't have tickets, CLICK HERE to be entered into a drawing to win a pair of tickets. The winner will be notified Tuesday, December 16th."

I lol'd at this. The tickets would be kind of useless if you can't afford to drive/fly down and get a hotel room.

12/12/2008 6:18:12 PM

Sounds like stadium will be pretty empty

12/13/2008 3:01:37 PM

well since the stadium seats about 80k, its gonna be empty... for an 8 hour drive and a 6-6 team, id say weve done pretty good at ticket sales so far... that alabama article said they are on a higher ticket sales pace than the last 2 years

12/13/2008 3:32:42 PM

^the stadium seated around 80,000 when they still had the upper deck and used the endzones. For this bowl, they upper deck is gone, and they don't use the endzone seats. So this thing will actually seat around 50,000

12/13/2008 4:36:12 PM

so There is a rutgers fan at work who has taken to plastering any NCSU item I have with Rutgers stickers.

anyone got good ideas to prank back?
Current thoughts are printing out the James gandolphini (sp?) in a Rutgers shirt with something witty written underneath.
Plastering his office with loads of NC State Stuff all over his door/office
NCSU bumpersticker on his car.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

12/14/2008 12:27:41 AM

Fuck Ed CUnningham! He has Rutgers over NC State as one of his Top 3 locks!

Jesse Palmer knows what's up and was gushing over Russell Wilson and how he's been playing. Plus Palmer has seen him in person twice, once against South Carolina and again against FSU.


^ or you could always kick him in the balls


Fucking ESPN. They had a highlight clip of college football from this year air after their college bowl mania show and only had one clip of us (Andre leaping over an ECU guy), yet had UNC on their a bunch. Then they have the audio clip from the ECU game where the announcer yells "A POTENTIAL BCS BUSTER BUSTED" played as they show Turner Gill lifting up the MAC Championship trophy.

^ I just watched that too. Dude didn't really give any reasons for his pick except that their quarterback looks awesome and if you've watched them this year you wouldn't believe the difference between the beginning of their season and the end. Doesn't sound like any other teams I've seen this year at all . Way to do your research Ed.

12/15/2008 6:51:04 PM
