#Gameday: Pack in Black

'14 Football179

 

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!

    Looks like we will go into the half only down 4, which almost qualifies as a miracle.

    Just looked it up and Old Dominion football is in only its 6th year of existence. Holy moly.

    Fire Doeren at half time and get an interim coach for 2014. We are and continue to be a joke. I am astounded that a school of ~35,000 cannot field a football team that doesn’t look like a high school JV unit. I don’t even care if we win this game by 25. ODU didn’t even have football until recently and should have never been in this game, much less leading by 11 at any point. We have no emotion on the sideline, which points to the coach.

    just came by to post something unproductive

    Dave Doofus sure sucks and I hope all the fans have already left the game.

    Also I think all our fans who wanted a more difficult schedule are sh!t balls.

    Yea, I will fess up – we have NO business playing the big boys. Not right now. We are a complete joke. We’d be lucky to go .500 in the SoCon right now. Seriously.

    So we have resorted to onside kicks and two point conversions against the Monarchs, is that right? Lord help us.

    OK, nothing bad can happen for 15 minutes.

    If we are going to suck let’s a least look professional. Coaches tuck in you damn shirts.

    at least we’re at the point where we’re going to be bad enough that all the ECU and UNC fans will feel sorry for us and not make fun of us (kinda like the Lowe years in basketball)

    #GoForAngelDust stumbles out of the gate, long season ahead. I’m stuck in radio hell. Are there any freshman o-linemen playing??

    Well, maybe. But the Heels fans I know absolutely love handing it to us on the gridiron just because in the past we thought this was our sport. Couldn’t be further from the truth right now. They are going to murder us.

    My “care level” for our football program has honestly hit rock bottom. It is literally the LOWEST it has ever been in my life. If ODU blows us out of our stupid gimmicky black sh!tty uniforms I’m going to sleep like a baby tonight.

    Firing TOB for an unproven junior coach was asinine and now we’re paying dearly for it and will for the foreseeable future. Any potential recruits we have lined up have wiped their asses with their offer letter at this point.

    Seriously think about it. Would you let your kid play for us if he was even half way decent?

    Old Dominion. Gardner Webb. Murray State. Florida A&M. Troy. Citadel. South Carolina State. Richmond. Tulane.

    This is the ACC non conference slate today. And we wonder why we might have a bit of an image problem….

    Along those same lines, a couple days ago I was able to attend a talk by a prominent bowl executive who is very well connected in the college football world. He said these games we’re seeing today will be a thing of the past. He also said the power 5 will consolidate to a power 4, fwiw.

    So what are the odds that we can hold this lead for more than 5 minutes?

    Whoever teaches tackling fundamentals for the NC State defense should be fired. Tonight.
