Please take heed – this is not a thread to bitch and moan about TOB coming back, or to bitch and moan about how most of us turned away in disgust at some point yesterday afternoon. Nay, tis a thread for Wolfpackers to share their stories of when and where they learned that NC State had in fact, somehow, someway – won that freaking game yesterday.
For me, I turned off the game at 21-7. I felt the nausea welling up in my gut, and I couldn’t put my special ladyfriend through another minute. Especially on a glorious sunny Outer Banks afternoon. So off to the dunes we went. She left her sunglasses in the hotel room, so while waiting, I flipped on the XM feed…and it was already 28-7. Game goes off immediately, and I swear not to even look anymore.
At about 5:20, I was on the way back from Corrolla, almost to Duck. Got a message from a friend saying “stuck in airport, did we beat MD??” I decided I should at least have the final score to report, so I pulled up ESPN’s college FB page…and did a literal spit-take. 56-41…STATE? No shit????
I honestly had no clue or hope until that moment. Given how none of my other Pack friends and family texted or e-mailed, I suspect many other SFN denizens have similar stories to share.
