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!!!
