#Gameday: Pack in Black

 

It is GAMEDAY, but it doesn’t feel like it this afternoon. Every game in which I seem to have any real interest is not actually scheduled until tonight — which, of course means that those games will generally overlap with where I will physically be present in Carter-Finley.

 

In addition to what hopes to be a fun day and night in and around Carter-Finley…it is also a HUGE night/weekend for NC State recruiting. Emmanuel McGirt and Nyheim Hines are expected to be in Raleigh along with 12 to 15 high schoolers from the class of 2015 and another 25+ potential targets from the 2016 class. The two supposedly want to play together and we were able to get McGirt through his visit to Athens, Georgia last weekend without committing. As you can see below, it looks like Hines had a pretty decent night last night…

 

Speaking of football recruiting…look who spent some time hanging out last night?

 

Heading into today, I REALLY liked the Vegas action of NC State minus 16/16.5 points. That is, I really liked until I saw the following:

I’m sorry…I think I still like the Pack to cover tonight!

    I’m at C-F now. I may be the only one wearing black.

    We’ve always kind of sucked at an ‘X’-out.

    The humidity is off the charts. You couldn’t pay me to wear black today.

    Time for some football. Hopefully it will be worth having found and logged into ESPN3.

    Apparently, our marketing department didn’t consider that it’s early September and that it would likely be hot…and that our fans are pretty lousy at wearing anything besides red for “blackout” games.

    And so it goes.

    Good news – our red zone defense looks pretty good again. Bad news – it has been frighteningly easy for opponents to get there.

    My boy Huxtable has ’em playing his kind of ball right out of the gate. Let’s see if he can make some adjustments after this drive.

    Surprised we didn’t challenge that spot. Lousy defense on 3rd and long.

    Their RB I never read about or know his name is definitely on his way to a 100+ day. I still stick to my 160 prediction about 20% there on first drive.

    Don’t give up unless you’re a post Valvano State fan. Oh the irony V.

    Doeren seems to have taken over King Hippo’s old eating habits.

    If the fans wear black and no one is around to see it…are they really wearing black?

    Wouldn’t sweat it no one is watching the game outside us lunatic fringe.

    Missed the FG drive due to Verizon issues. How’d we do it?

    Bad read by Heineke there. Somehow, we don’t finish the Pick Six with an army of blockers.

    Lots of short-medium, quick passing. Basically what worked last week.

    Sparse online crowd. Looks like a shootout tonight.

    We have to score every possession to win tonight.

    I appreciate that we’re making this interesting….I’d prefer that we didn’t.

    How bout some pressure guys. Odu will score every possession tonight.

    How can we be this overmatched against ODU? The defense is awful.
