Pack/Bees Open Game Thread

In order to put a positive face on things, I will attempt to list some positive things about this football season:

– Based on our September play, beating the spread will be a much more realistic goal going forward.

– Boston College sucks as bad as we do, if not worse.

– Butch Davis still sheds a tear every time he sees a paleface litter.

– Unlike (every) basketball season, there’s no chance that Duke or the Holes can win the national championship and rub salt in the wound.

– Steven Hauschka, best offensive weapon for the Seattle Seahawks. Dental school will have to wait.

– Friday, bitches.

– My fantasy team is 3-0!! OK, that one probably only works for me. Hey, I’m trying my best, damn it.

– The NCAA just cleared the path for one SEC refugee to join our two deep. If we only can get 10 or 15 more of those, we’ll be set.

– The first appearance of fall weather might have you outside and forgetting that we play today.

– Russell Wilson is finally getting some national media attention and Heisman love.

– Friday, bitches (schadenfreude so nice, I listed it twice).

I will see you later in the comments. Too apathetic and sleepy to liveblog.

    Patrick hasn’t been sentient for at least 10 years.

    Another TD for us. Down by over 20, but still playing.

  3. HPWolf 10/01/2011 at 6:03 PM #

    Mental mistakes cost us this ballgame. It cost us on first and goal going in and we kept 2 of their drives alive with offside calls. Where is the discipline?

    Onside kick?

    Tempting…hope we can get 7 more to make it respectable

    Go Badgers!

    I do give credit to the NC State defense for doing what they could to stop Tech in the 2nd and 3rd. It is too bad that the offense couldn’t do what it needed to do to tie up the game. Glennon’s INT killed the Pack’s chances of making a game of it. Didn’t this kid throw two INT’s in the first half against UCONN and one against Wake in the first?

    Well maybe next year State will have a world-class 5th year senior at QB that is a proven leader. Oh never mind.

    fail. lol

    Pretty sad onsides kick, hee hee.

  9. Pack1998 10/01/2011 at 6:07 PM #

    agree – mental mistakes . . . those offsides were bad, we could have won the game

    is it a “tease” or is it “progress”

  10. Pack1998 10/01/2011 at 6:10 PM #

    Here is the real deal . . .

    TOB aint horrible – we came out and playe okay today, made it a game

    But . . . if you can get Jim Tressell or Mike Leach do you keep TOB???

    I agree TOB had injuries, etc. He had bad luck, and I think he’ll be fine and decent and okay. . . but with those 2 guys available you have to see if they’d be interested, at least, right?

  11. WeAreCured 10/01/2011 at 6:10 PM #

    Don’t be a vag, Paul. What’s this FG nonsense?

  12. inhoc... 10/01/2011 at 6:12 PM #

    Has tech even turned the ball over?

  13. Pack1998 10/01/2011 at 6:13 PM #

    Va Tech . . not yet.

    What game are you watching?

  14. inhoc... 10/01/2011 at 6:13 PM #

    TOB aint horrible – we came out and playe okay today, made it a game

    Does 44 to 14 and 45 to 21 mean anythin? Just wondering….

  15. WeAreCured 10/01/2011 at 6:14 PM #

    Hell no to Tressel. I don’t really care for Leach either. I think our program needs a young, ambitious, intelligent, and energetic coaching staff that can grow with the program. We are horrendous. The last thing I’d like is a high profile guy coming in and giving us attention we don’t deserve. I’d like to quietly disappear until the program is ready to be in the spotlight.

  16. itskinseyboo 10/01/2011 at 6:14 PM #

    ^^^I don’t think they have.

  17. BJD95 10/01/2011 at 6:15 PM #

    How bad must that Michigan State/Ohio State game have been? 10-0 Sparty.

    Getting the “short bus” treatment from the announcers. That always burns a little.

  18. Pack1998 10/01/2011 at 6:15 PM #

    I’d like a guy with a chip on his shoulder that wants to to prove something.

  19. HPWolf 10/01/2011 at 6:16 PM #

    Regardless of the final score we made some progress today. We ran the ball some and controlled the clock some. Hell, even our defense played better. I see some youngsters that can play and they will be good. If we can get healthy we may make a little noise.

  20. Pack1998 10/01/2011 at 6:16 PM #

    I heard we got Purvis. That is great!

  21. Wulfpack 10/01/2011 at 6:16 PM #

    TOB has not shown he can win consistently here. Looks like yet another losing season. That’s not good, and I do think he’s gone if that is to be the case.

  22. BJD95 10/01/2011 at 6:17 PM #

    We are fucked. It doesn’t matter whether TOB leaves after this or after next season. Or who we hire. Deck chairs on the Titanic.

  23. inhoc... 10/01/2011 at 6:18 PM #

    If only we would have given such an effort against wake or cinicy

  24. HPWolf 10/01/2011 at 6:19 PM #

    We need the fire of Bill Cowher

  25. Wulfpack 10/01/2011 at 6:19 PM #

    Nobody knew who Mike Gundy was before he was hired at Okie State. I’m on the young and fiery bandwagon myself. We are not going to get a big name. Gotta groom one, hope he’s good, and then hope he stays.
