Pump up time! To bowl, or not to bowl?

HUGE game for the Wolfpack today! (Link) All the marbles on the line — either Tom O’Brien will go to his third bowl in five years at NC State…or he won’t. We will either have two straight winning seasons…or we won’t.

Joe Giglio sets the table for you here…but nobody did a better job of setting the historical backdrop of today’s game than our very own ‘ruffles’ in this fantastic entry. You can click herefor CFN’s take on the game; and Caulton Tudor projected a similar score (link).

The regular-season finale finds the Wolfpack (6-5, 3-4 ACC) with a lot more to gain than anyone could have guessed three or four weeks ago. It’s hard to remember that Maryland (2-9, 1-6) started the season with that impressive win over Miami. That game must seem like a million years ago to Randy Edsall. Wolfpack, 31-14.

    So realistically, does anyone think Debbie already has a coach lined up? What would be the earliest she’d announce TOB’s retirement – Monday?

    Their backup punter, in his first ever collegiate punt, outkicks our punter. Nice!

    Well, a bowl game would have been nice!!! We may never see another bowl game under this coaching staff!!!! Just what I expected.

    wolfpack93,

    Hey dipshit, I’m still here. Not covering anything.

    I don’t have a quick trigger to start bitching at 17-23 year olds when they START to struggle… they’re obviously toast now.

    But I don’t have a problem criticizing those with bad knees from constantly jumping on and off the band wagon.

    Some people feel better when they bitch, whine, and complain about those performing poorly. Doing so makes some feel better about their own shortcomings and their unrealized athletic dreams.

    Coaching staff has to go, kids laid a big fat egg. Doesn’t change the piss-n-vinegar attitude of some fans who don’t deserve a winner.

    OK — I am going to save everybody a lot of trouble.

    I was wrong, dead wrong. But at least we tried.

    You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig.

    The turtle-twerps CAN beat Red from Head to Toe.

    Pack76, if we win I wouldn’t pay money to see this team play in a bowl.

  8. GAWolf 11/26/2011 at 3:21 PM #

    It’s easy dingdongs…first you say “I’m” then you say “sorry.” Heeeere we go……1…….2…….3……go:

  9. WolftownVA81 11/26/2011 at 3:22 PM #

    yeah, Glennon is a good QB who can’t hit a wide open receiver.

  10. Wufpacker 11/26/2011 at 3:22 PM #

    Refs trying to bail us out, but I think it’s too late even for that.

  11. pakfanistan 11/26/2011 at 3:24 PM #

    Doesn’t matter if he can hit a wide open receiver, they can’t catch it anyway.

  12. pack76 11/26/2011 at 3:25 PM #

    Wolftown, neither would I!!!

  13. Lumbeeindian17 11/26/2011 at 3:26 PM #

    WOLF!!!

  14. hoop 11/26/2011 at 3:26 PM #

    The 27 point lead is now down to 20.

    We can do this!!

    Awww shud up.

  15. hoop 11/26/2011 at 3:29 PM #

    The only bright spot I’m looking for at this point is if, big IF, Amerson gets his twelfth pick and gets sole possession of the ACC interception record.

  16. Lumbeeindian17 11/26/2011 at 3:29 PM #

    can I get a pack???

    Another near fumble on the punt. Bad decision to try and field that kick. We can’t afford anymore mistakes.

  19. bill.onthebeach 11/26/2011 at 3:33 PM #

    PACK

    the fans in the stands deserve a shout out. TV panned the stadium a sec ago and at 41-21 it still looks pretty full.

    Hey Wolfpack93,

    I’m still here. We’re all but toast now, but that doesn’t change the chicken little puss-n-vinegar attitude of the fans quiting in the first quarter.

    Actually, those fans should be happy. The play on the field was an accurate self reflection.

  22. GAWolf 11/26/2011 at 3:35 PM #

    “I’m sorry.” See how easy that is.

  23. bill.onthebeach 11/26/2011 at 3:36 PM #

    ^tj — I’m with you, bud… but I think you might have it backwards… the fans are a self-reflection of the team and staff.

  24. WolftownVA81 11/26/2011 at 3:36 PM #

    So tired of the short passes underneath.

  25. pakfanistan 11/26/2011 at 3:36 PM #

    Would have been enough for the first….
