yeah the depth chart looks really good. Fortunately this season we seem to finally have some quality depth at about every position. TOB is finally shaping the team to the way he'd like for it to look.

Anybody heard how Colby Jackson is progressing? I'm excited to see what he'll be able to do for us. I know it's a fake character, but his style of play kind of reminds me of Tim Riggins from Friday Night Lights, minus the drinking and trashiness off the field.

inside of 4 weeks till the spring game (april 18th)

we need to get a good turnout to make the inaugural Kay Yow Spring Game a total success. if you have the money, donate more than $1.

i know the technician blows goats so start getting the word out. facebook, etc.

3/22/2009 8:58:06 AM

i hate looking at our schedule, because when i do, i think we have a good chance of starting the season with a good little winning streak. oh optimism, where have you been.

3/22/2009 1:01:06 PM

That pic of RW handing off to Baker is just awesome to see.

Baker looks huge. Maybe it's posted on this thread, but he ran a 4.4 forty and a 4.2 shuttle recently. Fuckin A

3/22/2009 1:06:56 PM

That means he is fucking pumped out of his mind to play.

I would hate to be the first person he hits this coming year.

3/22/2009 1:08:54 PM

What does your Top 25 look like for next year?

1) Florida
2) Texas
3) Oklahoma
4) tOSU (more b/c they won't have too much competition in the Big Eleven)
5) USC
6) Alabama
7) FSU (maybe if everything comes together for them)
8) LSU

Kay Yow Spring Football Game Set For April 18

RALEIGH, N.C. – The newly named Kay Yow Spring Football Game is slated for 1 p.m., Saturday, April 18 at Carter-Finley Stadium.

While there is no admission charged for the game, Wolfpack coach Tom O’Brien requests that all adult fans donate a minimum of $1 as they enter the stadium in honor of late NC State women’s basketball coach Kay Yow.

All funds collected at the game will be given to the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund, part of the V Foundation for Cancer Research.

“Kay Yow was a remarkable person and I’m proud that I had the chance to work with her for an all-too-brief period of time,” O’Brien said. “Her toughness, perseverance and faith have been inspirational to countless people and our coaches and team are proud to have a chance to honor her in this way.”

Parking lot gates will open at 9 a.m. for the game, with stadium gates opening at noon. Fans are asked to enter at Gates 1-4. Seating will be limited to the West grandstands.

Immediately following the game, players and coaches will meet with fans on the upper concourse for 30 minutes.

Subscribers to PackPass, GoPack.com's premium subscription service, can watch a live video stream of the game, with Gary Hahn and Tony Haynes calling the action. The game will be available in the Triangle on 99.9 FM, the flagship radio station for Wolfpack football.

For the third consecutive year, the spring game will be the centerpiece of the former football players’ reunion weekend. All former players are invited to attend Friday’s practice and to a private reception at Vaughn Towers. Players will also have a section reserved for seating Saturday’s game.

He is so pumped for the Kay Yow football game lulz

1). I'm nobody really
2). You two, and others of course, are pretty tough on Sidney. So i was just poking a little fun.

I briefly looked and did not see this already posted in the thread.

Quote :

"Ajiboye suspended for team reasonsComment Email Print Share Associated Press COLUMBIA, S.C. -- South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier says starting defensive lineman Ladi Ajiboye has been suspended indefinitely. Spurrier says Ajiboye is suspended for team reasons but is still in school. Ajiboye has started 21 games the past two seasons. He has not taken part in the Gamecocks first two spring practice sessions. Spurrier said Ajiboye won't practice or be part of team activities. He said he'll revisit the issue in a week or two. Sophomore Travian Robertson practiced in Ajiboye's spot Tuesday."

^ just another drug related or laptop theft issue i'm sure. they'll clear him to play despite a felony charge soon enough.

3/23/2009 2:44:34 PM

^^^ Agreed, in other words slap on the wrist and he'll be back by the time of the opening kickoff. Not surprising in the least for South Carolina. Anybody remember during our game last year when they said they caught a couple of the players raiding a fridge in the football facilities on camera and they sat them out like 2 plays for that . Stupidity and Steve Spurrier football justice. Please cue up the prisonbreak photo again!!!!!!!

bought weed

http://www.thestate.com/gogamecocks/story/722250.html

as much as i want to shake my finger at him, i don't see buying pot as a really horrible offense. although 5 grams is quite a lot to have on you...

3/23/2009 9:01:08 PM

bump because i'm very ready for football season

3/24/2009 5:23:02 PM

5 grams is not a lot

an 8th is usually the least someone would buy, and thats 3.5

3/24/2009 5:26:14 PM

like he said, 5 grams aint shit

thats not even a quarter bag

Okay. Sorry for telling things how they are. We suck. Someone is to blame.

Look at the excitement in this thread. It comes from knowing we have a coach who will improve us.

3/24/2009 5:34:54 PM

^ You're bashing the coach and ::shock:: some people don't like it. Stop acting surprised. Grow some thick skin and throw back a few drinks to numb the pain. Works for me

3/24/2009 7:00:06 PM

I am damned excited about football season, and I honestly don't think we should be talking about the basketball program in the countdown to football thread. There are other threads specifically for that. I think we will get our winning season in football this year, and anything beyond that is just icing on the cake.

3/24/2009 7:11:21 PM

FOOTBALL!!! WHOOOOOOOOO

1973 ACC Football Player of the Year, Willie Burden (No. 10), scores the game-winning touchdown in a 1973 win over North Carolina at Carter-Finley Stadium. Burden, who led the Wolfpack to the 1973 ACC Championship, will be inducted in the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame on May 14th.

He still ranks in the school’s top 10 career rushers with 2,529 yards and 22 career touchdowns.




N.C. State’s football members of the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame (Year inducted in parenthesis)
