Pack/Holes 2013 Game Thread

The time is near, and my insides are already bubbling with rage. Obviously, I will be in no shape to LiveBlog, but will be glad to see everyone in the comments.

Dear God, don’t let us lose this one. Would be extra nice for it to be a blowout. Please.

    Embarrassing. But more importantly, hopefully the fans were acceptable to DD today.

    Glad we kicked all those field goals

    TOB wouldn’t have lost this game with this personel.

    You’ve got to have play makers on O. I love schadrach but this O didn’t make a single big play on O. Not one.

    Wow. Monte Kiffin didn’t ever live down the on side kick. Not sure DD will live down the fake punt. Really disappointed in the coaching so far this year. We suck talent wise for sure but we also play below our talent level.

    We had no business winning this game. Played like absolute monkeyshit. Only Carolina and Fedora’s own incompetence even kept the score deceptively close.

    TOB lost this game last year with much better personnel.

  8. packer74 11/02/2013 at 4:01 PM #

    3-9. Won’t win again this year.

  9. BJD95 11/02/2013 at 4:03 PM #

    agreed, inhoc.

    IF State loses 4 more games and no one is there to see it will it still count?

  11. Wufpacker 11/02/2013 at 4:03 PM #

    NIU is 8-0 this season sans DD.

    That might be more of a statement than anything else.

    @Texpack: Not seeing the improved in-game coaching we’d hoped for this year either…would have hoped for some noticeable improvement as the year progressed…we are destined for the cellar in 2013. TOB getting last laugh from his beach house.

  13. TheAliasTroll 11/02/2013 at 4:04 PM #

    UNC was MUCH better last year than this year. Coaching lost today’s game plain and simle. TOB would have blundered some coaching decisions but today’s game was an avalanche of them.

    On the bright side…always a chance the Holes have to vacate this win.

  15. GeneralNuisance 11/02/2013 at 4:05 PM #

    EZU and Dook are going to kill us

  16. wufpup76 11/02/2013 at 4:05 PM #

    If there’s not significant improvement next season then is a change made?

    I see the negatives, and you don’t get a total pass in year one. I want to stay on board, but this has been a rough year even with our depleted roster and usual thousands of injuries.

  17. Rick 11/02/2013 at 4:06 PM #

    If WRAL has their way we will vacate the three wins we get this year

  18. BJD95 11/02/2013 at 4:06 PM #

    IMHO, Holes’ dropoff in personnel is roughly the same as ours. They dropped from pretty good to mediocre, we dropped from average to dumpster fire.

    On the bright side, this could have been the shortest raycom gave ever.

  20. TheAliasTroll 11/02/2013 at 4:06 PM #

    We have a coach who got the job by coasting on someone else’s laurels. It’s pretty clear to me he is in over his head.

  21. BJD95 11/02/2013 at 4:07 PM #

    As long as recruiting is going well (and it’s much better than all but one TOB class)…you’d be crazy to do anything until the 2015 season plays out.

  22. TheAliasTroll 11/02/2013 at 4:08 PM #

    Our offensive game plan was to have Mitchell run us to victory. Sorry but that is dumb as bricks.

  23. BJD95 11/02/2013 at 4:09 PM #

    When was our last winless ACC season, though? That is quite the black mark.

  24. phillypacker 11/02/2013 at 4:10 PM #

    Are you guys nuts? Doeren will be one of the greatest coaches in the history of NC State. This was anything but a coaching loss. He knew Mitchell was not going to pass his way to winning this game. How many INT’s did he have? 2 or 3? Turns out PT is our best QB. When you are left with a bare cupboard, you do the best with what you do have, and more importantly do not have.

    “On the bright side, this could have been the shortest raycom gave ever.”

    ^LOL

    “As long as recruiting is going well (and it’s much better than all but one TOB class)…you’d be crazy to do anything until the 2015 season plays out.”

    ^Fair enough. Just seems like a lot of negativity for a year one coach.
