UNC Gives NCSU a Whipping

NCSU lost miserably to UNC last night. Carolina just out played the Wolfpack in every aspect of the game. There is plenty available from newspaper web sites, such as the Raleigh News and Observer, that detail the reasons for the domination by UNC. Personally, I’m at a loss to see how a team as good as State is can have such total meltdowns as the UNC game and the Seton Hall game.

Funny thing is, I still had a good time going to the game.

I sit with a really good group of people. They are always upbeat, have a positive outlook and they appreciate a good game. We even were acknowledging UNC’s excellent play. It’s nice to sit with people who know what they’re watching and who can enjoy a game played by kids – even when the home team loses.

How State plays is reflected in the office. Everybody was pretty quiet this morning. The State Construction Office, since it deals with construction, is overwhelmingly civil, mechanical, structural, and electrical engineers, and architects. Almost all of us graduated from State. There are a couple of Dookies (yep – Duke has an engineering school). And a couple of urban planner types from Carolina. After a State win, everybody is buoyant and happily analyzing the game. After a loss, especially one as dismal as last night, everybody is working quietly at their desks.

NCSU has 2 regular season games left. Saturday at home against Boston College and the following Saturday at Wake Forest.

It’s never easy in the ACC.
