don't even act like you're upset.

11/2/2008 11:46:23 PM

hahaha, I am

11/2/2008 11:48:03 PM

would have guessed more.

11/2/2008 11:50:02 PM

never thought I would see the day

11/2/2008 11:51:47 PM

our offense is good enough. If our defense steps up this weekend, we win. If they lay down like bitches again....we lose

11/2/2008 11:53:28 PM

my god

have you considered the significance of this?

just think back to 5-6 years ago, and even considering Duke football.

11/2/2008 11:56:44 PM

^ thats what I'm saying

11/2/2008 11:57:46 PM

this is where we are


BUT DANG WE GOT SOME NICE FACILITIES!

11/3/2008 12:24:12 AM

please to not get embarrassed ..... well lets be honest, any more embarrassing than getting spanked by duke is inherently.

11/3/2008 12:44:22 AM

They should have beat Wake....if they don't screw that FG up.

11/3/2008 12:50:26 AM

none the less, im goin with my best friend from back home and his family. So if we do lose, im gonna hear all kinds of shit on the way back home

11/3/2008 12:52:36 AM

sucks to be you

11/3/2008 12:55:37 AM

THIS IS DIVISION 1 FOOTBALL

11/3/2008 12:56:36 AM

Hell I don't know what some of you are talking about, Duke would give us a game when they were God-awful and we were actually good. I remember one game when Phil was here when they tried a 60 yard FG to win with Brent Garber or whatever that really good kicker's name was they had.

[Edited on November 3, 2008 at 1:01 AM. Reason : it's never easy]

11/3/2008 1:01:00 AM

yes... but we always found a way to not lose to duke. Mind you we didnt find a way to win, we just found a way to avoid losing. the sad part is that FG had a chance honestly. it landed in the back left corner of the endzone... straight and 5 more yards and we were dead meat.



this year I think the luck well runs dry

11/3/2008 1:07:26 AM

We will beat Duke by 20

11/3/2008 1:44:14 AM

that FG wasn't even close...

it landed 5 yards wide and 12 yards short

11/3/2008 4:36:27 AM

11/3/2008 5:24:57 AM

i have a good feeling about this game.

11/3/2008 8:27:29 AM

i had a good feeling about the past couple of games



































but i've got a good feeling about this one, too

11/3/2008 8:42:13 AM

OMFJINX

11/3/2008 9:01:24 AM

^x5 I think the point is more that a team with 0 wins spread out over a few years was within a FG at the end of the game. You'd think we would have been up by 30 points.

[Edited on November 3, 2008 at 9:11 AM. Reason : -]

11/3/2008 9:11:06 AM

If our D is half-decent we win our last 3 games. That said, Irving should be back, and with him in the game our defense is completely different. State wins

11/3/2008 9:14:56 AM

^Does anyone know when Nate is supposed to be back? I haven't seen anything yet.

11/3/2008 9:20:46 AM

if our d learns to tackle on the bye week we can win the last 4.

11/3/2008 9:37:34 AM

we are gonna lose to duke lol!

11/3/2008 10:48:00 AM

Not that funny. More like

11/3/2008 10:53:04 AM

I hate to admit it, but I think that not only does Duke win and beat the spread, but I think we lose by at least two touchdowns.

11/3/2008 10:57:38 AM

If we lose, I am not going to tell anyone that I am an NC State fan until next August.


^ How can you possibly think we are going to lose by 2 TDs. In our last three games, we have basically lost in the final minutes against BC, FSU (final 10 minutes), and UMD. Duke has one good win over an overrated Vandy team and beat UVA while they were down. Yeah they hung with Wake, but Wake is playing horrible right now for whatever reason.

Duke has been fortunate to play teams at the right time. We on the other hand play everyone when they still think they are good or are playing well (see USC, Clemson, ECU, USF, BC, FSU, Maryland, and now Duke).

11/3/2008 10:57:53 AM

Seeing as how Duke ALWAYS plays us close, even during the Rivers era, this could get scary. I think we still win, but will not at all be shocked if we don't.

11/3/2008 11:18:06 AM

bet the farm on nc state in this one... money line

Lock of the Year

11/3/2008 11:45:51 AM

haha, I guess that is it, when we play and lose the other team is playing well and that is why they beat us!!! Thanks for the info I am going to write this shit down!

11/3/2008 12:52:38 PM

Duke took a decent UVA team out behind the woodshed.....albeit the hoos didn't play well til after that loss. I wouldn't be suprised to see Duke win or be embarrassed if they did pull it off. They've gotta be thinking payback for years of futility against state though

11/3/2008 1:10:29 PM

is it too early to talk about next year?

11/3/2008 1:11:12 PM

what exactly are you planning on taking place next year?

11/3/2008 1:29:44 PM

this team will be a lot better next year barring any major injuries. the additions will be very nice... terrell manning, brandon barnes, mike glennon, andrew wallace, rj mattes, etc...

11/3/2008 1:32:38 PM

duke is better, but they are still duke. i don't give a shit about their "success" this year. we have the better athletes and better offense. we should be able to outscore them if nothing else.

they have played a soft ass schedule and let wake run all over them, wake hasn't done shit on offense this year other than maybe the ole miss game. the uva win was nice, but that was before uva figured out who they were.

we will be much improved after the bye week and hopefully geron and nate will be back on the field.

NCSU 34
Duke 20

see, save manning those are all offensive players, and our offense is not what's losing us games.

11/3/2008 1:42:50 PM

well, that is true but playing some young guys this year will help a lot next year. guys like dwayne maddox and sterling lucas really benefited this year from getting experience. even some older guys (redshirt freshmen/sophomores) got a lot of experience this year that they wouldn't of gotten if not for the injuries.

11/3/2008 2:03:15 PM

what about Beasley, Earl Wolffe, and Javon Walker?

11/3/2008 2:05:32 PM

all i'm saying is, be careful about 'wait for next year' talk.

11/3/2008 2:06:32 PM

I would say having Clem Johnson, Javon Walker, Nate Irving, and Terrell Manning all healthy at the beginning of the year next year with the current freshmen in there getting experience makes me optimistic about next year's defense.

11/3/2008 2:09:14 PM

ha, if it wasn't for the "wait til next year" talk, all the pack fans would probably jump off the tallest building they could find.

11/3/2008 2:09:42 PM

^ No doubt, that's all we have ever really had, at least for the last 20 years or so.

Defense found their balls on the off week... we beat duke..but not by much

11/3/2008 2:37:34 PM

im excited about earl wolff, i think he will be a bigtime playmaker down the road. beasley as well.

i know we make excuses every year, but damn... this year has been a bitch with all of the key injuries.

like that will ever happen...at least 2 of those players will suffer season ending injuries before the season even starts
