NC State vs. LA Tech Game Thread

'13 Football Dave Doeren300

Yay, kickoff is minutes away! Need a reason to be positive? TOB has left town. And Skip Holtz is coaching the other team.

I will see you in the comments for late August fun and hilarity. Nobody knows what to expect from either team, so enjoy the ride.

    Sounds like Obama is going to attack Syria

    ^#3QB looked good….

    and we got to give Thomas some major props for sticking his head in there and getting that ball back….

    Per SI, 41 plays run so far by the Pack O!

    Full-sized Harrison Beck always did that too. Very good at playing defense post-INT. To be fair, he also had a ton of practice.

    If memory serves, with the number of times we didn’t crack 250 yards last year, 292 in the first half is huge.

    Our two minute defense still looks like the old model.

    Maybe he can find his birth certificate when he’s over there.

    Let’s just hope we’re not Syria in the second half. Glad they haven’t interrupted game coverage, whew.

    If Mitchell does have broken foot, forget the Sherriffs to FB talk.

    Mitchell right in front of me on crutches.

    As an aside, why are all the restaurants making “pretzel burgers”? I want a soft bun not crappy pretzel bread.

    Saw a little bit of everything in that half – incl. the 3rd string QB… Well hopefully not EVERYTHING

    24-7 Wolfpack

    Defense needs to refresh at half.

  13. Wufpacker 08/31/2013 at 2:02 PM #

    He (Obama) giving at least the appearance of deferring to congress….for now.

  14. Rick 08/31/2013 at 2:04 PM #

    I did not mean to make the game political but I was flipping to the US Open and he is on there.

    I have become very isolationist. Lock down our border and screw everyone else.

    Congress is on vacation for the rest of the year.

  16. tjfoose1 08/31/2013 at 2:07 PM #

    What Rick said.

  17. BJD95 08/31/2013 at 2:07 PM #

    There are never any good options wrt the Middle East. IMHO.

  18. tjfoose1 08/31/2013 at 2:08 PM #

    Enjoying the game, but I think I’d prefer a downpour to this weather.

  19. bill.onthebeach 08/31/2013 at 2:10 PM #

    ^Wufpacker…

    It’s the endgame… Congress will not approve and the President either already knows that or has told them not to approve…..

    either way works….
    IMO…We don’t need to go to Syria…
    Nothing good in the long run will be acheived….

    Both sides just need some political cover to unwind the rhetoric….

    Nice balance – 115 rushing, 175 passing. TO’s have allowed the Pack to have the big lead, though. Could be a three-point game if LT doesn’t fumble.

    FWIW DD said in the haftime interview that Mitchell has a sprained foot and will not be back.

  21. Wufpacker 08/31/2013 at 2:12 PM #

    Agreed bill. My specific phrasing was chosen intentionally.

  22. packpowerfan 08/31/2013 at 2:12 PM #

    The Middle East has been a poop storm since the fertile crescent was populated. Get out and leave it alone. Let them fight amongst themselves. Simple as that.

  23. packpowerfan 08/31/2013 at 2:13 PM #

    Dixon broken many of Marshall Faulk’s records as a frosh last year. The kid is the real deal at La Tech.

  24. tjfoose1 08/31/2013 at 2:14 PM #

    Nice balance, but LT has 99 and 125.

  25. BJD95 08/31/2013 at 2:16 PM #

    Based on what I have read…f-ck if I know what to do. So BHO should go Congress, say “f-ck if I know what to do” so they can respond “f-ck if we know what to do.”

    Then everybody can say…probably ought not do anything, then.

1 … 4 5 6 7 8 … 12
