NC State/FSU Live Blogging

'10 Football Tom O'Brien407

I already spilled lots of virtual ink explaining how important I believe this game is. Rather than re-hash it, let’s just say I’m eager to see if we can finally have a signature win to be proud of. It’s ours for the taking tonight.

Now, TAKE it, damn it!

UPDATE – Consider it taken!!!!!!!!!!

    “Any news on Haynes?”

    I still haven’t watched any news or tape, but from from my seats, he did look a little woozy coming off the field, and on the sidelines. I suspected a possible concussion. But then I turned my attention back to the game and never followed up.

    to answer the question of were there recruits at the game, there definitely were. I ran into Vad Lee at halftime (surrounded by a multitude of recruits), if my father hadn’t been with me, I would have asked him if he was considering opening up his recruitment based off of GT’s season.

    Ah, if only I didn’t want to look like a psychotic fan in front of my father.

    Live blogging is very much stream of consciousness so it isn’t hard to see why there are swings of emotion as the game ebbs and flows. After the fact (and with 20/20 hindsight) some of the comments are spot on and some prove to be much less so.

    At the end of the first half I was not optimistic at all. Much credit goes to the players and the coaching staff in not quitting and in making some adjustments for the second half.

    The series with FSU is turning into a down to the wire event annually.

    Haynes was wobbly after the hit and the fumble. The TV shot showed him stumbling while the talking heads were too busy slapping each other on the back to actually notice. That fumble was a turning point – killed any momentum we had for the rest of the quarter. Only issue? No. Significant? Yes.

    Turned off the game, disgusted, when Haynes fumbled in the second quarter. I feel like I jinx the Pack anyway. Oh the elation this morning!!! DVR’d the game, can’t wait to get home and watch. GO WOLFPACK!!

    “Some of you guys just don’t need to be reading liveblogs or open game threads. The beauty of it (for those of us who DO enjoy them) is the real time, kneejerk reactions and gallows humor. Reflection and sober analysis can come later”

    I second this. It is the nature of the beast. We could do what UNCCheat does and censor it but that is not how we do things. And frankly I tire of people telling others how to be a fan. If everyone does not fit into your neat little definition of fan then maybe sports is not for you.

    I got so disgusted with the end of first half drive I turned on the DVR but of course I had to go back. It is what a State fan does.
    Great win. I think we will probably stumble one more game but an 8-4 or 9-3 record is a pretty dag gum good year if that is where we end up.

    I got up to get a beer and missed TOB’s comments on Haynes. Will also have to cue up the DVR cause that’s just not appropriate to do. However, I’m also not a big fan of these TV folks sticking a mike in a coach’s mouth when he’s obviously trying to focus on the game…Things sometimes come out that aren’t intended and it makes you look like a dunce!
