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.

So, on that note….

Go Pack!!!

    Rick,

    Look at how many excuses were laid out prior to the season. No way after year 3 of a dumpster fire that happens. Year 4 and it’s the same then yeah.

    So if he loses to UNC in Carter-Finley and goes 5-7, do ya’ll think he starts next year on the hot seat?

    I’m good if he loses his job after this game.

    I don’t mean that Yow is going to can him if he goes 5-7… it just means that the long slow death begins, sort of like Amato’s last three seasons. Did anyone really think Amato was going to pull out of that spiral once you saw several Assistants leaving after each season.

    If this keeps up we don’t win another game this year…..even losing another one in Winston. This fan base will not be pleased.

    Jacoby is fine

    This is the same situations as last year – Canada sux, then DD jerks his chain – then we start sustained drives w TDs – Canada is terrible

    Dayes and Samuel were great

    89,

    It really all depends on recruiting, DD can’t afford a bad haul at this point.

    This was the breakout year… does anyone really think we will manage a winning record next year having to play FSU, ND, ECU, at Clemson, at UNC, at Louisville? THat’s six games right there we have very little chance of winning, even if we weren’t breaking in a new QB…and LOL at the people who think McClendon is some sort of potential Heisman winner that we’re keeping under wraps..

    I don’t get the Canada thing. Was Chow the last decent OC we had? Why don’t coaches can the OC’s or DC’s mid season when they suck like a 5 dollar whore? Our offense sucks. Next man up. Geez.

    As I said 3 years ago Dave Doofus is in over his head who looked good inheriting an undefeated team with a legit NFL starting quarterback in a terrible conference. Glad this season will bear it out and I don’t have to hear anymore how stupid I am because I didn’t play in college in the 70’s.

    I feel about the football program about like I felt the season after Rivers left…when it became evident that Chuckles didn’t, in fact, have a plan for QB.

    If UNC goes 10-2 or 9-3 with a New Year’s Day Bowl and we stay home with 5-7, how do you think in-state recruiting will go next year?

    We apparently are the balm for anyone’s season gone awry. This team has put itself in a very difficult spot. Decisively outcoached for a 2nd straight week. The contrast between 1st and 2nd quarter tonight was breathtaking. We had no answer for whatever adjustments Beamer and his staff did.

    Certainly such an unimpressive coaching exhibition since we finished the pre season. Maybe DD was trying to help F Beamer save face for such a dismal start in Blacksburg?

    Also, can someone tell JB to take off the ankle weights!! He looks so slow even in a shotgun setup! Knew we were doomed when all three ESPN announcers picked the Pack to win.

    Pitiful. Frauds exposed.

    Game turned when Jones got hurt with score 10-0. Crowd started booing thinking Jones was faking. I told hokies I was sitting with that if Jones was out, he was hurt because we don’t want his backup on the field. That as long as 31 was in, VT had a chance to score.

    Then boom. Pratt got abused immediately and continually. He was lost on almost every play early on. Took his own teammates out on 2 big plays.

    Something still aint right with Jacoby. Our passing game has gone to pot.

    To be expected I guess, but that’s just asinine.

    Right now the Wolfpack offensive mindset is kinda like waking up from a drug inducted sleep only to see Bill Cosby lying beside you………

    What a great first quarter, then the demise. Everything sucked for us, from the coaching to the players. Why do I even bother?????
