  1. No...since he was redshirted he did not travel, but he did travel to the Bowl Game...
  2. I think thats what they did this year mainly, gave the awards to the winners, the entire team didnt walk across the stage (Which in the past took forever!) and the Seniors had their video again...People said it was much better this year, but I just wanted to see how you guys felt...
  3. Well also remember there are a total of 12 at most players as opposed to 100 or so... I heard that somethings were different, and were wondering if it seemed better or worse...
  4. Anyone go to the awards ceremony?? I was wondering how it was...
  5. Both Tim Jones and Moffet won the Best Front 7 Award for the Defense...
  6. I know Im not the only one that feels this way, but we better beat the crap out of PITT and UCONN next year...Ohhh and I hope we can play UConn when a heat wave comes through and its like 90 degrees outside...
  7. 1. Miami, FL 2. Port Charlotte, FL. 3. Punta Gorda, FL. 4. Punta Gorda, FL. 5. Florida
  8. They moved it so we could play the Kansas game, it was the only place it could fit...
  9. Have you not been to the board in a couple months?? We have had a 12 game schedule for awhile now...but here it is... 9/2 McNeese St. 9/9 FIU 9/16 @ UCF 9/23 @ Kansas 10/14 @ UNC No dates for the 7 conference games...
  10. Well here is how you do this article well, you go to the FIRST BIG EAST GAME EVER...and get the fans opinions while they are there. The Oracle has plenty of minions that would have done it...
  11. One really good thing I see out of this is, HOPEFULLY the NC game will not be on a WED night...
  12. The sad thing is that some NFL team will take him anyways...
  13. Posted on Sat, Dec. 31, 2005 USF fan colors parted the 'Red Sea' ANDREW SHAIN ashain@charlotteobserver.com• ----------------------------------------------------------------- N.C. State dominated Saturday's Meineke Car Care Bowl in the stands (and on the field), but it was hard to miss South Florida fans. Excited about reaching their first bowl game, they were a brash and boisterous small army in uptown streets and Bank of America Stadium seats. They donned green wigs and streaked their faces with gold paint, and possessed a hair-trigger to holler, "Go Bulls." Rafafel Santayana was part of a group like that. He and four heavily painted friends landed in an uptown parking lot at 7 a.m. Saturday after a 10-hour drive from USF's home Tampa in a rented minivan. "We'll sleep Monday," Santayana said, promising not to sleep through New Year's Eve and the pro football games today. A block away, a baker's dozen of N.C. State fans climbed one-by-one out of the back of a 42-foot stretch Ford Expedition limousine near the stadium. They used the three-hour drive and spacious ride from Raleigh to tailgate. The limo can hold 20 people, but food (ham biscuits, sausage balls, quiche) and drinks (beer, wine, champagne) took up any remaining space. "We thought this was a classy way to go," said Bill Howard, vice president of a Web marketing firm. While Howard's group arrived happy, hundreds of other N.C. State fans were miffed about missing some of the first quarter because they waited up to an hour in line to get tickets from a single set of will-call windows. "I can't imagine how this could happen," said Kurt Ryback, a Greensboro contractor who waited 45 minutes before getting his bowl tickets right after kickoff. "I thought this would be better organized." The school did not mail tickets to fans because seating was not settled until about a week before kickoff, said **** Christy, the school's associate athletic director. Tickets were available in Raleigh the week before the game and at the team's Charlotte hotel the night before the bowl, but about a quarter of the tickets were waiting for fans at the stadium, he said. "This is the last thing we wanted to happen for our fans," Christy said. Inside the stadium, Pack fans found a Carter-Finley atmosphere 175 miles from the campus. Much of the crowd of 57,937 bellowed "First Down" every time the sideline chains moved for the Pack. Red consumed the stands except for two small patches of green with 5,000 USF fans and marching band. "We had to part the Red Sea somehow," said Michael Uglialoro, a USF accounting major. Uglialoro was among a group of hardcore USF fans in the end zone dubbed the Beefstuds. The current and former students covered themselves head to toe in green and gold paint and wore large-horned Viking helmets. As the Wolfpack approached toward their end zone in the second quarter, the Beefstuds screamed "defense" and "no way" while frenetically waving large yellow foam fingers. "We're hoping to get in their heads," said Brandon Faza, a 22-year-old medical school student credited with creating the 'Studs. It didn't work. State notched two touchdowns right in front of them during the second quarter -- the only scores of the game. "Someday we'll be the school that everyone talks about," Faza said after his school's inaugural bowl trip. N.C. State was playing its fifth bowl game in six seasons, which likely contributed to its more subdued attitude during the game. An exception was Kerry Killowitz. If you went to the game, you know him as the 6-foot guy in the red and white checkerboard dress, black wig and lipstick. Killowitz, a Charlotte talent agent, lost a bet on the recent Panthers-Cowboys game and had to skip around the stadium looking something like a giant Dorothy from "The Wizard of Oz." "I've probably had a couple of hundred pictures taken of me -- and two marriage proposals," the married man said. Killowitz was a lot better looking than much of the play in the scoreless and sloppy second-half. But a win is a win. Shrugged N.C. State psychology major Amanda Wollard after the game: "It worked."
  14. Thanks to everyone who came to Charlotte to cheer on our Bulls! Even though we were outnumbered by NCSU, we definetley brought some noise to NC...Thanks to the fans and the City of Charlotte, It was awesome!!
  15. Amato had a head start, NC State was there a couple of hours before us, it was actually really funny, plus seeing 6'8" Jerome Springfield get into one of those cars was priceless...
  16. Im surprised that so many of the smaller bowls are giving such big gifts...and the Sugar Bowl and Tostitos Bowls arent giving nearly as much stuff as the other 2 BCS bowls...
  17. Honestly, Elvis looks only good on a stats paper, hes really undersized for the NFL...I dont see Elvis going in the first round...
  18. OK...I know its Hawaii, but is it really that expensive?? The baseball team went last year and for 7 days it cost like 2200 bucks including all but the rental car (there was a bus for the travel party) is it bc of the Holidays Im guessing??
  19. All of the players seem to be upbeat and excited...today they scrimmaged against one another and both teams were out there having fun...
  20. Its stuff like this that pisses me off about our fans...we should have had hundreds of responses this is our first bowl and instead of getting a great deal, we have to settle for our sorry ass bookstore...thank you bullsmania for coming up with the idea and the time and effort that it took...
  21. Andre hasnt had a really good game since Cuse, but thats all about to change...GO BULLS!!!
  22. Our bookstore, for the people who dont know, is ALWAYS overpriced...
