The NC State Wolfpack travel to South Bend, Indiana tonight at 9:00 EST to battle the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame (ACC Network – Tim Brando, Mike Gmi
[See the full post at: NC State Wolfpack vs Notre Dame Fighting Irish Preview]Nice article with info no other site has.
I’m a dunce, & its probably just me, but I didn’t completely understand the ‘Advantages’ chart at the bottom. The polar bear icon used for one team got switched to the other team below… sometimes both icons are shown [meaning ‘draw’?], but then each team’s icons got switched…?
Perhaps a ‘Dunce Key’ is needed at the bottom for folks like me to not be confused.Sorry for the confusion howlie, maybe this will help:
– If I put the school logo up then that team has the advantage.
– If I put both school logos up then both teams are so good it’s a draw.
– If I put up the polar bear or statue then they are so bad it’s embarrassing to watch. It didn’t matter which one I used with which team, covering eyes polar bear or face palm statue, they are interchangeable.It was my first attempt at creating an advantage chart and this was all that came to mind to make it different. It’ll likely change as the season moves on.
Hope that clears it up.
I liked the statue/polar bear facepalms. It’s how I felt (and probably looked) during the 2nd half of the Pitt game.
Very appropriate.
I look for this game to get out of hand fairly quickly. Our guys psyche is pretty fragile after the Pitt 2nd half debacle, and it won’t take much for ND to break their spirit tonight.
Also, if Cat struggles, I expect to see a ton of minutes from TL.
I noticed ND was fairly big up front and beat Duke pretty good inside. Vandy has to stay on the floor. Not confident in this one tonight.
Thank’s to DirecTV for the ESPN Full Court freebie this week. It will allow me to DVR the game while I sit in the Citizen’s meeting tonight.
Looking for Cat Barber to rebound from his horrible turnover epidemic on Saturday and play a solid floor game tonight. That’s the only way we have a chance. Pitt waxed UMd last night which offered some encouragement that we may still compete for the title of Best Mediocre Team.
Effin’ awesome Jiggsie. From the optimism thru the picture chart.
The propensity for being contrary in nature has the polar bear looking like an albino squirrel on my old Android.
🙂I feel like Julius Peppers because it took me over two weeks to find the Forums button on the revamped site. However, I should “get” an A for effort. dUNCe
Love the charts, however I agree w/ DOG … the polar bear looked very squirrel like. I do get the ‘hands over the eyes’ and agree. Definitely a keeper. Great job. Can’t wait to see one with more red.
This one is likely a perfect storm of them evolving in a positive direction and our going the other way. I just don’t see us being able to get up off the floor after the Pitt game and going on the road to a very hostile environment and righting the ship. That just doesn’t sound like us.
Anyone besides me think that Sherman could be the ND mascot? He just looks like that guy. (no offense intended Mr Sherman, just saying …)
We could not possibly visit South Bend at a better time. They are feeling (overly) good about themselves, we’ve just been humbled. We aren’t as bad as we looked over the weekend, and the Irish ain’t as good. I think this game is a total coinflip.
ND doesn’t give away the ball and cleans the defensive glass.
This mean Buckets is going to have to show us he can generate offense another way (maybe as a decoy/distributor).
We NEED to push the ball every shot and get it in underneath before anything else (by that I don’t mean “Coast to Coast” Cat.
It has turned into teams not having to defend the 3 pt line or the post/baseline. Badminton courts are larger then the space you have to defend against us.
Game in the 50’s. Please, please, please hit some three pointers so that we can atleast hit 50.
gopack.com has the broadcast info on the schedule page.
Tonight’s game is televised on “ACC Network”, so you’ll have to check your local listings to see what game you get. For instance, I’ll get VT vs ‘Cuse
The game is on ESPN3 except for most of NC and SC, half of GA, and a little of VA. See linked map.

After what Pitt did to UMd last night, I don’t feel as bad about our game with them. Yes, BJ, a good time to play ND. Maybe the kids learned something about toughness Saturday and can implement it tonight.
This will be a good gauge of Gott & Co’s ability to focus the team. He couldn’t do it last year. Let’s see if he can pull it off with this young team.
The polar bear probably should instead have been a dead opossum, lying in the middle of the road.
Or, maybe more appropriately it should have been done musically, on one side with the ND fight song and on the other with “Dead Skunk In The Middle Of The Road”.
Dead Skunk – Loudon Wainwright 3rd – YouTube
? 3:04? 3:04
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UejelYnVI3U?Well I think we can see more of the same tonight, just like the Pitt game. ND going to lay off Cat and dare him to shoot the three. Until he will shoot that three and hit it, we will be playing four on five on offense.
I know not what this bear is you guys are talking about. i went through and re-read the entry by Jigga…. am i missing the chart? i am using internet explorer. should i try chrome?
I’m using Chrome and I don’t see any dead possums, skunks, polar bears, victory formations, or anything else…except possibly echo’s of AJ McCarron’s mom hating on Jameis Wilson
It’s anybody’s game tonight… just depends on which team has the worse case of the Sh%t… we discussed elsewhere.
Guess we’ll all tune in around nine pm and find out who wants to play tonight and who doesn’t; who wants to coach tonight and who doesn’t.
X&Os don’t matter much, neither does officiating unless they revert to their November form and blow 50 plus whistles.
Otherwise, SOS as the last two weeks.
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!I will be doing the polar bear by 9:30 tonight, I am sure. Vandy and Cat will already have two fouls and will be gathering splinters, and Gott will have burned 2 timeouts as our only effective defensive strategy.
I should have been a Duke (nope, they lost), Carolina (nope, they lost), Wake Forest fan!!I hope we see a little more WBS tonight. I know it’s not likely because ND is tall but he needs some more of that Freshman confidence like he had last year. We need CAT for transition and defense as well as WBS for a 1/2 court offense. I hope we can find a way to play them both at the same time. Maybe Zone D will allow is to use a smaller line up.
