I plan on getting one of those koozies sometime, and I have no intentions of going to the Harris Field Pep Rally.

And about getting a ticket at the stadium. A few of my friends never go to the stadium with tickets and ALWAYS end up with a ticket to the game. It's not the easiest thing to do in the world, but if you're looking for 1-2 then you usually get lucky. Especially if you just need 1 and don't care where you sit.

Or hang out for the first half and go in to the 2nd half when some pissed off fan or drunk old wife opts not to return to the game.

"how was hitting on a slide not a suspension/ejection?"

Suspension/ejection? That's not really how it works. I was surprised that it wasn't flagged though, should've been a penalty the 3 or 4 times they hit RW while he was sliding in that game.

9/1/2009 11:09:23 PM

i agree it was a nasty hit,

but in college football with all the option running attacks and things like that you can hit a player as he slides, there isn't that QB protection rule the NFL has, i had to look it up last year because i was so furious about the hit. Though the hit on RW last year was dirty because of the helmet contact, that is why it should have been penalized not because he was sliding.

Proof that they don't get it and will never be a football school.

if it was a big time match-up being premiered as the ONLY game of the evening in BASKETBALL, this would not have been written. Say Duke-UNC and they were the only game of the evening, it would not be questioned

9/2/2009 1:50:20 AM

I'm surprised the didn't complain about a 9pm tipoff which cuts the hours of sleep for students at a top institution. Oh wait, that would be basketball and it's not like UNC students actually need to do work since their grades will be inflated.

But anyway, GO PACK!!! BEAT THE COCKS!!!!

going to be a slow day and a 1/2

9/2/2009 9:03:02 AM

^^^^ Who the hell complains about getting to leave early...?

9/2/2009 9:16:36 AM

I would be annoyed if I was one of the employees that now needs to stay later on another day because im being forced to go home at 3.

I dont know why an article needed to be written.

True but now we have TOB. Things are turning for the better.

9/2/2009 10:53:38 AM

one of the things that bothers me about our stadium is the sporadic red seats. I know you have to pay money to get them, but I think it looks horrible as is. and yes, I know you can't see them when people aren't there, but it still bothers me

^4, i too wondered about the red seats, didn't know you had to pay for them.

9/2/2009 11:41:47 AM

hey if i wanna pick somebody up "near" carter finley, where is a good spot for him to leave his car until the game is over?

9/2/2009 11:44:25 AM

we've used the office parking lots across from Char-Grill for the past two seasons

9/2/2009 11:46:32 AM

where is the picture of the Wolf hand sign. i need it to send to some cocks.

the offices on corporate center drive, the first left off of I-40 at the chapel hill rd exit, are usually good.

9/2/2009 12:14:10 PM

is the vet school lot free parking? A buddy wants to know and I've never parked there so I don't know...

9/2/2009 12:28:05 PM

From the N*O article:

Quote :

"N.C. State football coach Tom O'Brien couldn't ask for better exposure as he tries to build his program. The Wolfpack plays host to South Carolina on Thursday night in an ESPN telecast that will serve as the unofficial start to the college football season. In O'Brien's third season, N.C. State has the first chance this season to expose recruits to its home facilities and program on national television. Poll voters, who mostly have ignored the Wolfpack in the preseason rankings, also have a chance to become more familiar with N.C. "

So what is the "official" start of the cfb season? The first game played sounds about right to me?

9/2/2009 12:28:13 PM

here comes the media bias

The K-Mart parking lot at Blue Ridge & Western is easy to get in and out of and there's plenty of parking.

WFC anyone?

yeah, and that was last week.

but nobody cares about division II, so tomorrow is the unofficial start.

9/2/2009 1:15:57 PM

Division II doesn't count.

However, ESPN's thursday night game is the unofficial start b/c regardless of the year/schedule, it tends to be the first game that anyone cares about watching.

yes, vet school is free. However, you can't park in the paved area of the vet school. You have to park in that grassy area where they have half of it marked off b/c of construction. So i would plan on getting there early. I plan on leaving my apartment at 1:55 so that i'm there by 2:05.

Are these by the wendy's?

If not can you park in those office lots by the wendy's or will they tow the shit out your car?

9/2/2009 1:35:43 PM

If I didn't get a parking pass I would always find someone who did, borrow it for an hour, and go to kinkos to make a copy (or more if others needed some) since they had the right colored paper there. Then just make the cut out for it to hang on the rearview mirror and you're in. They don't look at them very closely. They mainly look for the right colored paper.

9/2/2009 1:41:02 PM

Some of them charge about $10 but there's a couple that usually have their lots blocked off.

Russell getting more national attention

Quote :

"18. The list of young quarterbacks who will be fun to watch this fall starts with Baylor sophomore Robert Griffin III. He hasn't led the Bears to the brink of relevance single-handedly. It only feels that way. Also on that list: Boise State sophomore Kellen Moore, North Carolina State sophomore Russell Wilson, Arkansas sophomore (and Michigan transfer) Ryan Mallett and Washington junior Jake Locker. Yes, a junior, but Locker missed so much of last season with a broken thumb that he still seems new. "

Can those of you that go to the pep rally tonight take some pics/video and post it on here for us that can't be there? Basically I'm asking this for myself since I'm in Philadelphia.

9/2/2009 5:14:48 PM

I'll try to remember to take my camera

9/2/2009 5:19:42 PM

the place to park is the other side of the rail road tracks. the street that runs from waffle house to shell petrolium ( i think its beryl) becuase its easy to get in and out before and after tha game (no traff) but when you cross the rr and cross hillsborough the rest of your walk is through the tailgating which is a pretty cool "walk of fanpions"

9/2/2009 5:20:16 PM

lol, I think I may have parked over there once or twice before. It's ok for convenience after the game but I would much rather be in the Fairgrounds lot and have to around after the game
