Game Thread – Wolfpack Football in Blacksburg

'15 Football ACC NC State NCS Football336

Not gonna lie.  I’m packing for the beach and forgot about putting this entry up until about an hour ago while I was in line at the ABC Store.  I’m at least 50% confident that the timing of my realization was coincidental, and that I have no Pavlovian link to NC State athletics and alcohol.

I’m even more certain that the length and quality of this entry will be telling.  I haven’t started drinking yet, but I’m getting itchy.

And frankly, after last week’s loss my mojo streak is broken so someone else oughta be putting this up this week.  But I also forgot to point that out to anyone until just now sooooo….

Yeah, they sucked even more than usual by the time this album came out, but some girl I dated loved this song and it still reverberates in my brain anytime the subject of Friday nights comes up.  Hopefully it will now reverberate in yours as well.

You’re welcome.

The Pack (4-1) travels to Blacksburg, VA to take on the Hokies of Virginia Tech (2-3) this week in a rare regular season Friday game. The Pack is coming off its first loss of the year, a home setback vs Louisville; while the Hokies are currently on a 2 game skid (@ECU, vsPitt).

In spite of having their seven game win streak snapped by the Cardinals last week, State does still have a road winning streak to protect…hopefully. A win in Blacksburg would make it six straight road wins for the Pack dating back to last year’s win at Syracuse.

But Friday nights have not been kind to the Pack.

With an all-time losing record (5-6-1) on Fridays since the ACC came together, the Pack last played on Friday night vs Tennessee in ATL in ’12, a 35-21 loss. The last conference game on a Friday for the Pack was a 30-28 home loss to Carolina on the Friday after Thanksgiving in ’95.

And though I am very concerned about this game, none of that historical crap matters.

The Pack needs this one. So does VT.

Hopefully our coaches and players know which bit to look down, because it’s basically going to come down to execution…

And as fate would have it, Elizabeth Freaking Gardner says it will be raining the rest of the weekend while I am coastal.  So these are more for me than for you.

But you have my permission to enjoy them, nonetheless.

(Cheerleaders will make their reappearance next week, but even I’m getting a bit worried about my obsession with those Oregon chickies)

So, on that note….

Go Pack!!!

    I think we win like 16-0. 2 Jacoby to Jaylen tosses and a safety.

    Home field means nothing to this team. In a sense, I think our buttholes tighten up a little bit in front of friends and family. Hostile crowds help us focus.

    Loose buttholes in front of strangers….always a recipe for success.

    Living in GA now, away from family and away from NC, so this is my first live game blog of the year. Also, nervous about Dodgers-Mets opener in LA (huge Dodgers fan as well). Come on BP meds!!

    I don’t think anyone has said this to me before. EVAR.

    Wufpacker seems to be in need of some re-education. The Party takes no backseat. Perhaps a shovel ready job or a Jiffy-lobotomy at the Lenin Medical Center will re-order his priorities to a line more in tune with the Party. The party-issued beet vodka he picked up at the ABC may be his last ration. The Party will discuss this issue behind tractor barn #3 tonight. He is close to being denounced.

    Happy Hour over, safely ensconced on the deck. Wife and Daughter on the loose…all good.

    Dogs still don’t have that beer fetch thing down, though.

    If it’s gonna rain in Bburg, let it be sheets upon sheets.

    Test Jacoby. Test the OL. Tonight we get the true picture for 2015.

    If you were at State like I was for Monte Kiffin and Tom Reed the link between alcohol and State football became a matter of survival.

    Are we in danger of stupid lightning delays all night? I was out late last night watching the Coogs polish off SMU so I’m not interested in an 11:30 finish.

    Tex, I barely missed Kiff, but the general was on the field my first two years.

    Man, that sucked. And there was much underage drinking to be had.

    Why do I suddenly feel the need to play “Red Faction” on PS2?

    this Vodka talk reminded me of a business trip to Chicago.
    i saw train-loads of tanker cars with ADM logos.
    inside was 99.2% grain alcohol.
    each car was reserved for a distillery,
    which added water and a marketing department
    to bottle a brand name, clear/no odor/no taste product.
    bottom line: go to SC, load up on EverClear, add water.

    Comrades, we will need our Venezuelan comrades to get us some coffee and/or blow to counteract the vodka now, da?

    I usually prefer meth and Red Bull. But you know…whatever’s handy.

    For the moment at least, ‘Dog is getting his wish re: sheets. Sadly, the accompanying electrified plasma is a real pain in the ass.
