Pack/Devils Game Thread

Or if you prefer, the game against a Blue that we can win. And I stand pat in asserting that the Pack WILL win. One factor that I forgot to mention in my initial upset predicting post – Thursdays are good luck. Tonight, it’s all coming up Milhouse.

In the meantime, we can discuss topics such as the televised root canal that is VPI at FSU. Yeesh.

    I hate people pulling out that stat almost as much as the “Clemson has NEVARRRRRR beaten UNC at the Dean Dome.” derrrrrrrrr

    It is irrelevant

    …can’t help but think an FSU loss is bad for us in all things RPI.

    What does everyone think about the “black unis” tonight?

  4. CaptainCraptacular 02/16/2012 at 9:27 PM #

    We beat them at cameron in ’95. Red were you in attendance in Reynolds when they gave away the USA today in every seat and there was a confetti storm of shredded newspapers when we put the game away vs Duke with about a minute to play… ’88 or thereabouts…

    Yes FSU loss is probably bad

  6. redwolf92 02/16/2012 at 9:28 PM #

    Rick, I agree it is irrelevant to this game. Irrelevant to our program? I don’t think so.

    Anyone want to bet FSU hits lights out against us after not being able to throw it in the ocean from a boat tonight?

    I would consider myself a traditionalist, but the pics of the black jerseys that were posted make them look pretty sharp. I’ll still have to reserve judgement until we can see the entire ensemble, however.

    Yes, I was there in ’88/89 time frame. Can’t remember which year. Loved going to Hillsborough to rush the street. Always a good time.

    We won there in 1995, but K wasn’t around (leave of absence).

    The key to the game is to give zero help from State’s perimeter defenders. Stay home on the three point shooters, and play them tight, including Rivers. Rivers will get into the lane and get some points, but it’s a good tradeoff IMO.

    And we probably can’t win unless both Zo and Wood have strong games on offense.

    BJD, hope you are warming up the treadmill right now!

    “Rick, I agree it is irrelevant to this game. Irrelevant to our program? I don’t think so.”

    It is just some talking point the moron announcers who do not do their homework will keep hammering home.

    I don’t like the black but if the team and recruits dig it, and we win… then they can wear whatever they want.

    “And we probably can’t win unless both Zo and Wood have strong games on offense.”

    I think Woo is going to be silent tonight. K will not let him beat us. It will take some other players shooting well tonight for us to win.

    Ive not heard anyone who actually recalls seeing or experiencing the confetti storm…

    Maybe I’m recalling it for more than it actually was.

    Noles are more schizo than our football team was last season.

  16. primacyone 02/16/2012 at 9:32 PM #

    ^^ I was there. Think about it every time I pick up my air plane or hotel USA Today.

    “Anyone want to bet FSU hits lights out against us after not being able to throw it in the ocean from a boat tonight?”

    I am looking forward to the day when teams have their patented “worst game of the season” against State instead of the currently patented “unheralded player has career game” that we’re used to seeing… 😛

    Yeah Rick – I’m sick of hearing it too.

  19. BJD95 02/16/2012 at 9:34 PM #

    Lots of “oy veys” from Seth the last few minutes.

  20. Rick 02/16/2012 at 9:34 PM #

    FSU just cut it to 2 with 44 secs left

  21. CaptainCraptacular 02/16/2012 at 9:35 PM #

    noles back within 2 – 40 seconds to go.

  22. Rick 02/16/2012 at 9:35 PM #

    Ha
    beat you

  23. eas 02/16/2012 at 9:38 PM #

    No HD for the ACC network on DirectTV??? No freaking way! This is a big game too. Bs

  24. Tau837 02/16/2012 at 9:39 PM #

    Can’t believe this is a split market game, when it matches up two of the top four teams in the conference. I will be watching on ESPN3, since apparently Virginia Beach is now a Maryland market…

    I thought the other coach could pick the FT shooter
