Game Thread: Wolfpack Football at Wake (ugh)

'15 Football Big Four Rivals106

And so the Pack’s biennial trip to Winston-Salem, with a superior team in tow, is upon us once again. Nobody needs to beat that particular statistical dead horse and/or remind any of us with a pulse what this trip has meant of late.

Bottom line…any Pack fan younger than 14 was not alive the last time State bettered the Deacs at their place.

And sure, maybe the Pack didn’t have the better team for every one of those trips. But more often than not. And of course, as I type this most books have the Pack as 10 pt road fave. So yeah, we got ’em right where we want ’em…I think.

Hopefully Vegas knows best, and hopefully the extra week has helped with health and preparation. Because not only is the road streak at Wake ongoing, but after opening 4-0 against the salad of the ’15 slate, the meat has punched back. State is currently on a two game skid which needs breaking before it snowballs into a season sinker.

It all gets underway at Noon. TV is on RSN (FoxSportsCarolinas locally) or ESPN3.

And aside from whatever extras (vids, links, pics and such) I decide to pepper this up with, that’s all I got folks. I spent way too much time at the fair on Friday.

Plus I got a date with a couple (or more) of hot guys early today. It’s the one year anniversary meeting of the OGORM Club (Old Guys’ on Road Mojo), founded roughly one year ago in order to bring the Pack mojo for a much needed road win (at ‘Cuse).

The “Old Guys'” part is sadly self-explanatory.

Last year we managed to help Wolfpack Football to a much needed win in the Heat Pump Dome to snap a then four game losing streak and get back on track for a post-season push. This year the streak is but two. But still, mojo be needed.

Thusly, we are once again making the sacrifice of having to gather for laughing, drinking and general merriment.  Hopefully the two year anniversary mtg will be merely ceremonial rather than mandatory, with the Pack sporting an unblemished first half.

Since founding, we’ve also gotten together for basketball and baseball at times. FWIW, the Pack has never lost in any sport when we’ve been together in toto. Seriously…I did the research.

Yes, we ARE awesome.

    Win or no win, I dread what Clemson will do to this team. It will take a 100% perfect effort to make the game even respectable.

    Perhaps I missed something on replay. With the state of the kicking game, I don’t get the point of three passes, leaving yourself 4th and 11. You’re on the 14, just keep running.

    ACC win at WF. That’ll do for today.

    On to next week. Keep the margin under 50. IMO we are not in their league, but I have hope, and I will never give up pulling for the Pack.

    Great game. Glad to finally break the streak.

    Let’s go ahead and break another streak next week. Clemson hasn’t lost to an unranked team since 2011 when mike glennon demolished the fighting Dabos 37-13

    Sound logic, but hard to argue with an alternative that puts a wide open, uncovered WR in the end zone from only 14 out. I’ll take that every time.

    Fair enough ‘foose, I’m watching on a stream and missed that. Evidently so did JB.

    Yep. Don’t get me wrong though, Canada has me scratching my head at times too. But I give him the benefit of the doubt in the short term, and usually, once the sequencing plays out, the logic is there.

    Whether I agree or not with the specifics, that’s all I ask.

    It sure beats Bible’s signature telegraphed shotgun RB dive for 2.1 yards, play after play after play.

    But Freud says there’s still much work to be done.

    Much. Work.

    This team’s limit seems to be set by its collective noggin.

    Mike Cofer and Damon Hartman qualify

    The timing is off on vert game still. Timing is everything on the flats land.

    Other than that, I thank Beej, and Wuf for another mojo reversal with moi.

    The three of us are thinking about going into the 800-Clairvoyance biz.

    Need Tex’s 3K first.

    Troll…ya never stepped up, and that’s not like you.

    I can agree with that. There are things about Canada that have left me scratching my head too. I’ll have to see what he can do developing a freshman QB before I completely make my mind up.

    REALLY impressed with the front seven today. That is exactly the kind of havoc we needed.

    Obviously, the run blocking was also much better. Dayes got to show off his “one cut” ability in the first quarter, for sure. Dunno if we got complacent after that on offense, or what. I suppose time will tell.

    A win is a win, but this foot on the gas for one quarter, then sleep mode just don’t cut it. Same as the VT game. When can you score too much? No killer instinct when we get em down. That will not bode well in the Clemson game if that happens. And Jacoby needs to stop locking in on one receiver, when other are open, especially over the middle. We will need everyone next week. And please put the FG on inactive for the game. He is the worst FG I can remember State ever having. If the game is on the line, and he is to win it, we lose.

    Clemson will thrash this team. As much as I hate it they are for real.

    ‘Twas a good day. ‘Twas a much needed win.

    ‘Twill be more of both I hope.

    ‘foose, don’t be alarmed but I’m gonna hit you up in the near future. Hope that’s cool.

    Coastal division sucks, pretty much. Best teams in the Atlantic. Louisville lost by 3 to the tiggers. Still have my faith. But better play a full game.

    Was unable to watch. A very important win. Well done.

    Clemson is going to be a freakin load. They are college playoff worthy as it stands today.

    Going double or nothing vs the Tiggers to keep the mojo in tact.
