does NCState seem cocky and kind of like as*holes? From the quote about our program not being the gurus from their coach, and with Beck talking about how he didnt even consider us when choosing a school, it just seems like they think that they are the real deal. I dont see how they have much to talk about being that their program has been crap for the past several years. Thoughts?

I say we do us.

Scoreboard on Saturday

[JoeB]

It doesn't really matter what they say, or what we respond with.  All that matters is we play better than that team on Saturday and score more points than them.  Everything else don't matter,

until we start playing consistently good... we wont get the respect

final score needs to do the talking

[Compute-a-bull]

Most of us expect to win this game, but would anyone be completely shocked to see us lose to NCSU? Probably not.

Teams know we're talented, they also know we're not disciplined. I bet the "good" teams fear us more than the "bad" teams do.

Three reasons why NC State should be cocky:

USF has never beat NC State.

The game is in Raleigh

NC State just beat #15 ECU at home

The question is should they be cocky?

Guys, I talked to Beck today, and he really hasn't said anything with intent to disrespect. Look at a story in the Raleigh paper, in what I wrote today -- he said USF wasn't the USF they are now when he came out of high school, and that more than anything, he knew he wanted to go out of state, have his college experience away from the state he'd lived his whole life in. It's a rare case of geography working against the Bulls. He's been respectful of USF, said positive things about the program's progress.
