this team sucks

10/10/2011 12:28:17 AM

i like the over again this week

10/10/2011 12:28:34 AM

Virginia, BC and Maryland are not very good.

UNC is schizo with their offense and their defense is decent.

Florida State has all kinds of issues right now.

Clemson is on a roll...i don't see us stopping that hammer.

I say we end the season........6-6 and miss a bowl

Of the 3 W/L, we'll take 2.

10/10/2011 12:46:56 AM

4-8

10/10/2011 12:47:02 AM

package2 just told me how this was gonna go down:

we go into the Maryland game needing a win to be bowl eligible...and you all know the rest

10/10/2011 12:51:17 AM

^We get caught giving em the business

10/10/2011 12:56:43 AM

tob has never won an atlantic away game. i bet we lose to bc actually

10/10/2011 12:56:47 AM

not a chance.

we beat BC and thats it

Just as a side note, aren't bowls allowed to take 5 win teams now? I mean, if they run out of viable 6-6 candidates then they're allowed to go to non-qualifying teams.

And the way the bottom 3/4ths of the ACC is going this year, there's likely to be a few more that don't qualify than usual.

10/10/2011 1:47:42 AM

We'll finish the season 5-7. We'll have wins over UVa and BC and gut wrenching losses to Maryland and UNC. The losses to FSU and Clemson will be LOL.

10/10/2011 6:41:05 AM

5-7.

10/10/2011 8:44:28 AM

4 wins. @UVA and @BC is tough. We are barely beating FCS teams, so it's easy to lose perspective of how much better FBS teams are.

Clemson could be in a funk and I wouldn't see us beating them.

10/10/2011 8:48:57 AM

with the firepower they have. we won't be beating them for another 3-5 years.

10/10/2011 9:02:23 AM

I think we'll be lucky to get to 6-6.

10/10/2011 9:14:09 AM

i think a 6-6 season is acceptable to TOB if we get a win over UNC.

that was the case in 2009 w/ russell wilson. except worse at 5-7

10/10/2011 10:18:53 AM

Bye

10/10/2011 10:20:08 AM

6-6 this season is a miserable failure and should be viewed as such by all.

10/10/2011 10:27:56 AM

if we go 4-8 or 5-7 (but loss to UNC), does TOB get to stay?

10/10/2011 10:41:21 AM

we got this

the next 18 games decide if TOB gets to stay.

10/10/2011 10:49:32 AM

^

how many years does TOB on his contract?

10/10/2011 11:08:13 AM

doesn't matter. the next 18 games decide his fate

10/10/2011 11:33:49 AM

We won't go 4-8 unless Glennon gets injured along with the entire defensive front seven.

10/10/2011 11:44:39 AM

Duke is undefeated in conference play.

We are 0-fer.


AWESOME!

10/10/2011 11:48:53 AM

While I do feel like Duke's program is in better shape than ours I'd still like to call attention to that bit of trivia being based on just three games.

Duke beat BC by a point. BC is dead last in the conference.
We lost to two teams that are 3-0 in conference play.

Yeah you can't read too much into the standings, but Duke is better than us this year obviously.

Duke lost to a FCS team. At HOME.

10/10/2011 12:56:06 PM

While I think Duke would roll up some points on us this season, their program is not better than ours and I still believe we'd beat them H2H if we played this year.

10/10/2011 1:05:51 PM

Amerson wons ACC DB of the week (he's got 6 interceptions now).

Quote :

"DEFENSIVE BACK – David Amerson, NC State, CB, So., 6-3, 194, Greensboro, N.C. Amerson increased his ACC-leading interception total to six with a pair of picks against the Chippewas. He returned them for 28 yards in total returns. The last time an NC State player had as many as six or more interceptions in a season was 1998, when Lloyd Harrison had seven. In addition to the two picks, Amerson also had five tackles, including three solo hits."

10/10/2011 1:12:58 PM

You guys can think whatever you want, but the fact of the matter is that Duke is ranked ahead of us in every power formula, which means by definition they are better than us this year.

10/11/2011 12:10:31 AM

implying polls outside of top 25 mean anything

spiders

10/11/2011 12:41:03 AM

every power formula

lol

10/11/2011 8:13:40 AM

E * I = duke > NC State

(I * I) * R = duke > NC State

(E * E) / R = duke > NC State

i hate all the experts' power formulas. no matter which one i use, duke is > nc state.

FUCK!

our secondary is the strength of our team. we could get a few fluke picks and release tiger feces in their den. The ball tends to have a mind of its own in late october and that is the trap game of all trap games.

"Through six weeks, Glennon is already one of the most prolific quarterbacks in the Atlantic Coast Conference and is on pace to have a record-setting start to his career. He leads the ACC in touchdown passes with 16 and has thrown just four interceptions. He is also second in the league in passing yards (1,486 yards) while completing nearly 65% of his passes. In Saturday's win, Glennon tossed four touchdowns to four different receivers and had 244 yards on the day "
