Be prepared for the hype surrounding the first matchup of the Blues this week. The best advice I’ve seen on this game from the perspective of a State fan is to always pull for the visiting team.
Nope. The answer is that you ALWAYS pull against the Holes.
ALWAYS
It was right there and we blew it. I refuse to get excited about next season. Heard it too many times man. Too many times.
^ There’s no reason to expect that the bad Wolfpack has been shelved for the season. They’ve been here all year. The only hope is that the bad Wolfpack doesn’t choose to show up today. Make no mistake though, they’re still around.
Whenever I feel my hopes getting the least bit high, I remind myself that (1) we are NC State, and (2) we were embarrassed this year by Wake, Clemson and BC.
Aside from drawing Kentucky (who we would have 0 shot at beating) I refuse to speculate as to who our opponents might be. Does it matter? Every game for this team is a roll of the dice to the degree of none I’ve ever seen. Analyze matchups, list “keys to the game,” etc., the only thing that matters is what’s going on between the players’ ears at a given moment. I expect us to lose every single game and am pleasantly surprised if we win.
This game scares the dickens out of me. Win this one, and I like our chances at Clemson. Lose, and the pressure really builds. Win the next two, and the environment for our final home game should be amazing… We’d be on a phenomenal run coming into that game.
Give me the predictable classic look. We started doing this varying uniforms gimmick a few seasons ago and we’ve only gotten worse.
I’m delighted that all these negative reports are surfacing in the media about the tainted athletics program in CH, but nothing devastating has happened to them yet. I’m still in the camp that says nothing ever will.
It’s a basketball game that we’re involved in, so I have no choice but to be pessimistic. There’s no way I’m predicting a win against a team that destroyed us at our place two games ago.
Won’t get any easier next year with a much improved Wolfpack Team…
You think? There’ll be greater depth, but with TJ gone I see us struggling to score. And we know by know how we’ll look defensively.
At what point do we all have to look ourselves in the mirror and tell ourselves that we are INSANE for expecting anything else?
Oh, I’d say at least 10 years ago for me.
Extremely proud of this team and pleased with the way they are playing.
Unfortunately, it’s on to Chapel Hill, where we haven’t been able to keep it respectable, let alone win, in years and years. It’s unfortunate also that they seem to be playing better lately. Not a good feeling at all about this next one.
