NC State Adds Football Series with Mississippi State
NC State has scheduled a home-and-home series with SEC program Mississippi State, the department announced today.
On Sept. 12, 2020, the Bulldogs will travel to Carter-Finley Stadium and the Wolfpack will travel to Starkville for a Sept. 11, 2021 matchup.
Only 7 seasons away!!!! Bets on when the series will be cancelled start below.
This announcement is so MEH. Is this the new pinnacle of excitement for State fb? Geesh.
This site has gotten so annoyingly negative.
What the heck is there to be optimistic about? Honest question. I don’t like to be negative but just comes with the territory of being a State fan for the most part.
MSU is a perfect match for us, and there is (somewhat) recent history (Peach Bowl in the ’90s?). Also, MSU hasn’t exactly lit the SEC world on fire with Mullen as coach. If the buy-out occurs, fine. I’m going to take a positive view of this as a way to get an improved OOC schedule in the future. We should be able to get a rotation with one SEC/Big11/Big12(8) team every year for FB. I’m not expecting ‘Bama to return our calls, but one Big-Five OOC team is manageable. Too much sunshine?
NC State announced Tuesday that it will host Mississippi State in the first year of a home-and-home series at Carter-Finley Stadium in September 2020, with the Wolfpack making the return trip to Starkville in September 2021.
Hooray and who cares? Yes, I very much care about OOC schedules, and I would much rather have MSU than Old Dominion. However, other than SEC, I dont see a huge benefit. I would not go out and buy season tickets because MSU is on the schedule. I will buy tickets anyway, and yes, this is a better game than ODU or some directional school, but just not excited by cowbells.
