    Okay, your Bucs got my Panthers for the division title, but we can still meet in the NFC Championship. Both put the beatdown on the other on the road, maybe the rubber match is necessary.

    I just wish I could have been in the stadium period before kickoff, much less seen crappy pre-game festivities. For those who were in CLT, I was one of the ones looking pissed off waiting in the mile-long will call line for NC State. Now that was a disaster. Been nice chatting with you USF fans. Good luck in the Big East next season. You have some rabid fans and seem to be on the right track with your program.

    Very true. I've heard quite a few UNC and Wake Forest fans will be in green at BoA Stadium. That's good...if you guys don't mind having probably the two most arrogant fanbases in the ACC on your side.
  4. WolfpackFan
    You guys could hire a Duke or UNC assistant...that is, if you don't mind selling your souls to the devil like they previously have.

    ^ Home of the 2005 D-1AA national champs...just gotta give some props to Appalachian St. Good skiing up there...for NC. Weather now says 63 and rain. Take the rain part out and that's perfect weather.

    That's what NC State fans have felt for the past two years, also, but we didn't get it done with Philip Rivers and top 25 recruiting classes so I'm not sure (well, one 10-3 season). The most disheartening thing about NC State over the past couple years is not the poor QB play, but the penalties and dumb play. The fans have been hard on Amato because five or six straight years of top 25 recruiting classes, millions of dollars worth of upgrades in stadium facilities and a huge boom in fan support has equated to 12-12 in the past two seasons.

    Couldn't agree more. From what I've read on here about Julmiste, and what I have seen from our QBs, it'll also come down to which QB protects the ball better. I've seen enough drive-killing interceptions on the opponent's end of the field already this year. How has USF's special teams played this year?

    I'll take 54 and partly cloudy for Charlotte in late December. Be even nicer if there were no clouds (as long as the sun is behind the NC State side )

    Our d-line is most definitely the strength of our defense, particularly the ends. Both Mario Williams (6'7'' 290) and Manny Lawson (6'6'' 265) have great size and are best in pass rushing situations. State will be getting their best DT back for the bowl game in John McCargo. Williams, Lawson and McCargo are projected to be 1-2 round picks in the draft. Tank Tyler and DeMario Presley are the other DT's. Tank is our immovable inside lineman while Presley is the quicker/faster of the two. As for the O-line, well, I'm not as confident in this unit. They've played well in spurts, but overall have been average at best. If USF has speed rushers, State may be in trouble.

    It wasn't too bad, actually. Ice covered roads for a few hours this morning...all melted now. Should all be gone by tomorrow, unless we get more tonight.

    Word is that he really likes our offensive coordinator. It was down to NC State and Tennessee two years ago, we thought we had him, and he went to Tennessee. He seems pretty adamant about playing in the SEC, so I hope he doesn't do it again. I think it's going to be a signing day announcement unfortunately. Just curious, which school between F$U, Miami and Florida do most USF fans dislike most?
  12. WolfpackFan
    ECU fans are a sad, sad group. And they also think they should be in the ACC, too. No matter how many times NC State, UNC, Wake Forest and Duke beats them in anything, they will bring up that one time years ago to validate their teams. The 52-14 (football) and thirty plus point (basketball) beat downs we put on them last year has quieted them for now.
  13. WolfpackFan
    Heard that, too. Bill Plaschke (sp?) is the worst one on that show. I thought that before I heard this. He just confirmed that today.
  14. WolfpackFan
    I think our game has a chance to be the most competitive. Neither team will likely put up a lot of points on the other's defense, so it should be close. I really believe all the Big East teams will be in every game in contrast to what a lot of "experts" are predicting.
  15. WolfpackFan
    Well, NC State wasn't much better with penalties. We were flat out terrible in the first half of the season (ranked second to last at one point), then seemed to get them under control somewhat toward the end. The more I hear about USF, the more similar our teams appear.
  16. WolfpackFan
    ^ Jeez. Sendek will never live that pic down. ;D I posted it before, but one of NC State's main boards is: www.packpride.com

    Man, I love you guys already. Mission 9 said: "The Tarholes were even clueless that USF is on their schedule the next couple of years. Morons." You have to remember this about UNC fans - most of them don't in fact know they even have a football team. They're just basketball fans and root for Southern Cal, Ohio State or whoever the hot team is at the time in football. Trust me, any NC State fan that has a clue respects your team. Looks like UNC will have to find out the hard way when the Bulls take them down.

    I just noticed Carl Franks is one of the USF assistants. I saw him up close for a few years when he was at Duke. Always thought he was a pretty decent coach but he was at Duke, and nobody wins at Duke (except Spurrier). They always played NC State pretty tough. I see he is running backs coach and recruiting coordinator. Seems like you guys have a pretty good running game. What are USF fans impressions on Franks?
  19. WolfpackFan
    I fully expect you guys will get some support from Charlotte-area Wake Forest and UNC fans who are just looking to go to a bowl game. After all, they don't have one of their own to go to... ;D .
  20. WolfpackFan
    NC State has been so up and down this year ( and from what I've read on USF being up and down, too) they might as well not worry about setting a spread for this game. I could see either team winning by 15 in this one, but I do think it will be close. It should be pretty low scoring, though, so I wouldn't expect NC State to be any better than -6 from the oddsmakers.

    ^ You should be approved within the next 24 hours. They have to ban a bunch of trolls from other ACC schools regularly, hence the application review process.

    CCCm - You're right about LeRue being at State now. He should be starting at OLB for us against you guys. And Amato does love to recruit Florida. By my count, we have 30 Florida guys on our roster right now. Amato seems to have opened up a small pipeline from Miami Killian to Raleigh (7 or 8 recruits in the past 5 years). It should make the game even more interesting b/c in the past, our team has played better and with more focus when we're playing FL teams. I hated the way Jay Davis finished up at State - being pulled as starter halfway through his senior year and all. He seemed like a good guy, but just wasn't winning for us. I was at State the same four years Philip Rivers was there and a lot of fans were spoiled by his play at QB.

    The weather SHOULD be pretty cold in Charlotte, but I went to this bowl game last year on Dec. 30 and sat in the upper deck with pants and a short sleeve shirt for most of the game. Seemed like the temperature was upper 50's to lower 60's. That was unseasonably warm and I wouldn't expect it again, but you never know. I hope it's warm as an NC State fan; we got dominated in our only real cold weather game this year at Boston College. We have a lot of Florida guys on our roster, too.
  25. WolfpackFan
    Unfortunately, a lot of our fans HAVE to compare everything we do with UNC. Years and years of playing second/third fiddle to them and Duke in the Triangle has created a lot of bitterness. As for State's board (Pack Pride), take most of what you read over there with a grain of salt. It's one of the most active sports message boards I've seen on the Internet and we have a lot of good posters, but a lot of irrational ones, too. Just a tip, don't open a basketball thread over there. The negativity and anti-Sendek sentiment could depress one that doesn't even care obout NCSU basketball.
