Geeze I hope T. Baker stays healthy this year.

TONEY BAKER, BASS CATCHING... MAKER?

3/25/2009 8:41:15 AM

NC State shit

Toney Baker quits football to join NC State's prestigious bass fishing team. He expects to be an impact fisherman and is expected to increase the team's chances of winning the national championship.

3/25/2009 9:42:01 AM

damn I hope Toney can return to at least 90% strength as what he was 2 seasons ago. I'm so excited for him to come back finally.

3/25/2009 10:27:05 AM

dude is beastly, that's for sure

3/25/2009 10:35:19 AM

FWIW, I spoke with Willie Young last week at a wolfpack club event, and he said Toney is already 100%.

3/25/2009 12:50:06 PM

that's good news. Now we can all pray that he stays healthy for the next 162 days.

Baker is Ready to Roll

"In the fall, I really wasn’t sure it was ready,” said Baker, who can apply to the NCAA for a sixth year of eligibility after he completes the 2009 season."

Holy crap this guy will be on the team for SOO freakin long

3/25/2009 1:39:43 PM

Baker is the Van Wilder of NC State Football

3/25/2009 1:49:58 PM

I want the shirt he's wearing

3/25/2009 1:53:05 PM

I'm not trying to complain but I can't stand the way they have done the endzones the last 2 seasons. It looks terribly un-finished. Are we being cheap by not filling them in or is this just the new look we're going for?

I would like to see red endzones with white lettering

[Edited on March 25, 2009 at 7:04 PM. Reason : Go Pack]

3/25/2009 7:04:01 PM

yeah, it's looked unfinished the way we've had it. we're getting a totally new field surface this year, so i'm curious to see how they're going to do the endzones once everything is all done.

i'd like to see a red endzone with white lettering as well.

3/25/2009 7:08:15 PM

its been an issue with the current turf....filling it in would kill it. We are getting new turf and completely redoing the field(taking out the crown) after the spring game....maybe that issue will change!

3/25/2009 7:10:48 PM

i also wish that "cave" looked more real

3/25/2009 7:32:13 PM

We definitely need some red in the in endzones.

When's the construction supposed to start?

(I know it's somewhere, who wants to link to the page about the improvements?)

3/25/2009 9:16:00 PM

The field will be worked on almost immediately after the spring game. An entirely red painted endzone would kill natural grass. Wisconsin and Ohio State get away with the red endzones b/c they have artificial turf.

Beck to be Terry Bowden's first QB at North Alabama lulz

probly old though, i dont follow state-related football this time of year

3/25/2009 10:36:51 PM

^^I could be wrong, but I thought we painted the endzones red during the Rivers era? Maybe WOLFPACK was in red and the rest in white.

Regardless, we need to do something. The white letters look weak.

Ok, but that doesn't change the fact that you can't play quarterback. Also, lulz at the fact he reads packpride. I'm sure it was pretty depressing for him every time he read the boards.

3. Tom O'Brien, N.C. State

There are few better coaches in the nation than the perpetually underrated O'Brien, who thrives on running a smart, disciplined program. He was 75-45 at Boston College from 1997-2006. Unappreciated in Chestnut Hill, O'Brien is starting to turn around the Wolfpack, going 11-14 in his first two years. He was at his best last fall, when he rallied the Wolfpack from a 2-6 start to four consecutive victories and a bowl trip. Expect a breakout this fall.

7. Al Groh, Virginia

One of the most successful descendants of Bill Parcells' coaching tree, Groh has made the Cavaliers a consistently successful program during his eight-year run in Charlottesville. But Groh has been unable to get the Cavs over the top and deliver an ACC championship in eight years on the job and finds himself on the hot seat

really, Groh at #7?

I really hope that we can take advantage of the rebuilding Clemson and BC teams. With brand new coaches in place, hopefully the leftover talent won't be enough to beat us.

3/26/2009 12:54:43 PM

we havent beaten clemson since Rivers left...this is the year

NC State Begins: March 20 Game: April 18

The early spring buzz ... The buzz around Raleigh these days is the overall lack of national buzz surrounding the Wolfpack. Carolina is making more noise. So is Wake Forest. Heck, even East Carolina and Duke are making more headlines among the state’s schools. Yet, it was NC State, which beat all four schools a year ago, and returns its most important pieces on offense and defense. Head coach Tom O’Brien could care less about such trivial matters. Much like his stint at Boston College, he’s focused on building a winning program that plays with an attitude on defense and runs the ball with authority. After two years, he’s clearly headed in the right direction.

The big spring question is ... What more can QB Russell Wilson do for this program? A revelation for the Wolfpack, he became the first freshman quarterback in ACC history to be named to the all-league first team. His first order of business, however, is to get healthy after spraining his knee ligaments in the PapaJohns.com Bowl. Wilson is hoping to be cleared for practice, so he pick up where left off in 2008 and develop a rhythm with his receivers. To say that he’s State’s most valuable player is an understatement, so it bears watching how that knee is healing during the spring.

The most important position to watch is ... the secondary. North Carolina State was last in the ACC last year in pass defense, having more breakdowns in coverage than big plays. CB Jeremy Gray and S J.C. Neal are gone from that unit, leaving a couple of holes that need to be filled. DeAndre Morgan and Justin Byers are back at cornerback and safety, respectively, and S Javon Morgan is expected to return after missing all of 2008 with a knee injury. It’ll help if the kids, like CB Dominique Ellis and S Jimmaul Simmons can start playing like vets this spring.

Spring attitude... O’Brien’s blueprint for success has already begun to materialize. In fact, considering what he inherited, you could argue that he’s ahead of schedule. NC State may not have the depth or talent of the league’s elite, but the way it finished the 2008 season, no one should be surprised if the team sneaks up and takes the Atlantic Division. The Pack is that close to being a contender. The biggest factor, by far, will be keeping Wilson healthy and getting redshirt freshman Mike Glennon ready in the event of an emergency.

3/26/2009 8:58:58 PM

Who does their fact checking? Who is Javon Morgan, and why didn't they mention Clem Johnson at all in their analysis of the secondary?

3/26/2009 9:03:08 PM

I'm so ready to down as many busch lights as I can before this game.

we get Clemson at home, and I just have a good feeling that we will finally break through and get the W. By the time we play Clemson, you can expect that 5 star QB commit Tahj Boyd (who supposedly runs like another cj spiller) will be starting (barring any injury setbacks).

It will be interesting to see how that game plays out with two very similar style quarterbacks darting all over the field.

NCSU 34
Clemson 17

3/27/2009 10:02:57 AM

I'd think that Korn and Parker will be battling it out for the starting role and that Boyd will probably be redshirted if possible. I doubt he could learn the offense that quickly.

3/27/2009 2:46:10 PM

^korn's been battling injuries and parker has been drafted to MLB so it will be interesting to see. but Dabo has said its anyones job, so who knows. could be a situation like Ohio State was in last year

We need to pain the sidelines red in the "redzone" like we did a few years back if we're not going to put red in the endzones.


The reason they don't put red on though is because for whatever reason, the dye in the pain kills the grass and makes it harder to grow back in for the next season.

3/28/2009 9:33:36 AM

can they make a phone call to other schools with painted endzones and ask them how they handle the problem?

SORRY BRASS, BUT THAT WAS NOT A CASE.



LOCAL BEER DISTRIBUTORS SHOULD MAKE A RED BUSCH LIGHT CASE FOR THE FIRST WEEKEND OF NC STATE FOOTBALL. THAT WOULD BE CRAZY. OR THE COORS LIGHT MOUNTAINS SHOULD TURN RED WHEN THE BEER IS COLD. JUST A THOUGHT.

3/28/2009 11:10:03 AM

w/ amato we painted most of the endzone. explain yourselves.

3/28/2009 11:32:03 AM

The white paint doesn't destroy the grass. Its the red paint for whatever reason.




and I would also like to add that if we put in field turf, someone needs to be shot.

3/28/2009 12:10:26 PM

looks like we will be without our top two WRs.....

3/28/2009 2:56:11 PM

wat?

3/28/2009 3:29:15 PM

I know Bowens and TJ Graham aren't practicing. Maybe that's what he means.

That still leaves us with Owen Spencer (make sure you learn to catch this year), Jarvis Williams, Jay Smith, and Steven Howard. Plenty of skill there.

3/28/2009 4:04:02 PM

^TJ graham isn't even in the top 4 of our best WR's if you ask me.

Bowens, Spencer, J5 are top 3 definitely. Then you get into Jay Smith, TJ, DD, steven howard, etc.
