"Murray State goes down the field in the last minute with the score 17-14 NCSU. On 3rd and 1, and as time expires, Murray State punches it in for the win 20-17 (no extra point needed), and then we all bitch that the TD never counted...Sounds kind of familiar, huh?"

FUCK ACORN AND THERE SQUIRREL LOVING ASSES.

NCSU:35
Murray State: 10

We will have 1 or 2 defensive TD's and a lackluster performance on O all things considered. I am hoping for the best. GO PACK.

That was one of the hottest games I've been too. It was close to the Clemson game two years ago.

9/10/2009 7:25:17 PM

Does Murray State allow non-qualifiers?

^Yea, that sucked. Plus, they ran out of water which is ridiculous.

9/10/2009 8:43:24 PM

maybe already mentioned, but what happened to vermiglio and eugene?

9/10/2009 9:04:50 PM

^ both are out for murray state

"N.C. State starting left offensive tackle Jake Vermiglio, who injured his left calf in the Sept. 3 opener, will miss Saturday's game against Murray State because of the injury. The school released its injury report Thursday evening and announced that running back Jamelle Eugene (knee), cornerback DeAndre Morgan (ankle) and defensive end Jeff Rieskamp also won't play Saturday. Julian Williams, who started the opener at left guard, will move to left tackle in Vermiglio's place. Andy Barbee will start at left guard, and Henry Lawson will be the backup center in place of Wayne Crawford, who's out with a foot injury. C.J. Wilson remains the starter at field cornerback, where Morgan started last season. Freshman James Washington will be the second-team running back, filling Eugene's position behind Toney Baker."

9/10/2009 9:23:14 PM

of course its eugene's knee

9/10/2009 9:33:10 PM

until they get specific about vermiglio and eugene, i'm accepting the IR's as "they're a little hurt so we're going to keep them out for these early games so they'll be good to go for conference play"... then again, i cheer for State, therefore i hope

yeah that looks like TOB being conservative for a should be cupcake win

9/10/2009 9:52:00 PM

Hopefully Brandon Barnes gets some carries. I still want to see what that guy can do

9/10/2009 9:53:01 PM

I want to see what Brandon Barnes has to offer.

9/10/2009 9:55:08 PM

maybe Barnes can hold onto a football thrown into his hands ?

9/10/2009 10:13:06 PM

HEEEYYYY-OOOOOHHH

9/10/2009 10:14:52 PM

We do have quite a stable of running backs.


Anxiously awaiting more of Washington, and some BB.

9/10/2009 10:48:57 PM

i'm pretty excited to see this washington kid, as i did not get to go to SC

9/10/2009 10:49:51 PM

after seeing the SC game, i'm pretty excited about seeing washington some more as well.

9/10/2009 10:54:40 PM

I was sitting in the NEZ very close to where that took place. I don't remember why, but they hardly reviewed the play at all. Maybe it was one season before they implemented instant replay in cfb. Not sure.

9/11/2009 3:23:44 AM

They had implemented instant replay and coaches challenges because Amato had called a timeout earlier to challenge a play that was upheld. I remember that we didn't have any timeouts left to challenge the play and the booth didn't review it either.

9/11/2009 7:02:11 AM

Mario Carter, TE - knee
Colby Jackson, FB - knee
Donald Bowens, WR – knee
Javon Walker, S - knee
Jamelle Eugene, HB - knee

Seriously?

9/11/2009 7:14:07 AM

the knee bone is connected to the.....

this is a game of knees

9/11/2009 7:21:29 AM

4^ They should have never been down there in the first place. Of course I love our offensive play calling that in that game. 4th and 3, lets run the option with 6'3'' 120lbs Daniel Evans

9/11/2009 7:26:53 AM

what i don't understand is why a play so crucial to the outcome of the game wasn't reviewed, just to make sure they got it right.

9/11/2009 9:48:36 AM

the officials just ran off the field immediately.. that was such bullshit. if we had won that game, maybe we would have never seen Evans play and would have still been good.

CFN's take: http://cfn.scout.com/2/897359.html

Quote :

"What will happen: While many schools across the country got a breather in the opener, NC State had to wait an extra week. It comes at an ideal time for the program. Without having to contend with the speed and athleticism of an SEC opponent, the Pack will execute far better than a week ago, getting all of its offensive parts involved in the gameplan. Wilson will flip a couple of touchdown passes, looking more like the player, who was named All-ACC first team in 2008. CFN Prediction: NC State 34 ... Murray State 13"

9/11/2009 10:22:07 AM

^Hard to put much stock in it though, considering the fact that they didn't do the most basic of homework by looking at the injury report.

Quote :

"Why NC State might win: ... The Pack will soften the Racer D with backs Jamelle Eugene and Toney Baker, giving Wilson better looks when he drops back to locate WR Owen Spencer and TE George Bryan. "

9/11/2009 10:37:28 AM

If Wilson's streak ends this game, I will be upset.

9/11/2009 11:28:26 AM

nobody better lay a finger on my butterfinger

9/11/2009 11:49:26 AM

^ i just lost my appetite.

9/11/2009 12:06:14 PM

^^So, what's the ¿dance team? chick on the far left looking at? Looks like she's checking to see whether the field goal is good.

Plus, as much as I hate to admit it, it would be kinda interesting to see a picture taken from the same angle a half second later.

[Edited on September 11, 2009 at 12:40 PM. Reason : -]

9/11/2009 12:38:48 PM

^By the looks of it, she's picking out a serious wedgie and has lost all focus on the game.

9/11/2009 1:10:34 PM

It was ridiculous that play was never reviewed, but truth is, he got in...or at least, it wouldnt have been obvious enough that he didnt to overturn it.

And yeah, replay started in 04 I believe...I remember thinking if only we had it one year earlier during the Ohio State game, when my 90-year-old grandma could tell that was a trap, not an interception.

9/11/2009 1:30:00 PM

1) look at jay smith's eyes
2) the field is "pool table flat"

9/11/2009 3:14:53 PM

you called it^

Dear NCSU WR's,

Follow what this guy does when Russell Wilson throws you a perfect pass:

9/11/2009 5:09:54 PM

any justin.tv feeds available?

what about internet radio for those that don't live in North Carolina anymore?

9/11/2009 10:43:41 PM

^^ and ^^^

you want the motherfucker to be lookin at his shoulder? Check out any WR's eyes when they are catching a pass.....the ball moves so fast once it gets to right in front of you, theres no more movement to follow it. Also, he should use his hands.....that would keep the ball from clanking off his fuckin shoulder pads

9/11/2009 11:56:43 PM

i wasn't entirely serious about the eyes, more tongue in cheek than anything (blasted internets messing up my humor).

yes, he should have used his hands, thanks.

9/12/2009 8:26:14 AM

i, too would love a justin.tv feed

I heard there would be a flyover; is this true?

9/12/2009 12:53:10 PM

Read paratroopers are delivering game ball...so i would assume there would have to be a flyover

9/12/2009 1:22:45 PM

Unless they land in the wrong stadium.

9/12/2009 3:17:19 PM

like that would ever happen

9/12/2009 3:51:41 PM

as much as i dont want to watch from my crap internet connection in choppy segments of poor detail...

wheres that internet feed at?

9/12/2009 5:28:46 PM

Why would you care where the feed is before 6? They change channels and shit.

9/12/2009 5:32:21 PM

Sounds like the flyover just went over my house, I'm like a mile from the stadium

9/12/2009 5:37:36 PM

NEED A FEED

9/12/2009 5:48:03 PM

just looking for the internet feed

9/12/2009 5:48:46 PM

There isn't one up.

It looks like Pack Pass is the only way.
