Labor Day Weekend 2015

Had a good time at the game. It is always fun when you win. You can't always tell how a season is going to go from the first game - Especially against an opponent with much less talent, size, etc. - but - the Pack looked good. Defense needs some tuning - but the offense was essentially 100% perfect.

Saw a funny tweet - which I didn't copy but can recite -

"What's worse than giving up 21 points to Troy? Having your 5th year senior Quarterback dark horse Heisman Trophy Candidate throw 3 INTs in the redzone."

If ifs and buts were candy and nuts - Carolina would have won that game Thursday.

;-)

I was really surprised by the crowd at Carter-Finley Stadium. Labor Day Weekend. Against Troy. Equals Sell Out. The place was full. I would not have ever come close to predicting that. I expected the stands to be 2/3 full. Instead - full house.

Next Saturday's FCS opponent Eastern Kentucky will actually be a tougher game.

EK was in the FCS playoffs last year. And, they have at least 4 starting standout transfers from FBS schools. EK is kind of like an SEC school - they recruit players who are, shall we say, not going to win outstanding citizenship awards. They go after kids who need to transfer or who have 'not fitted in' (i.e. about to get kicked out) with their first schools. EK may actually have more 3 star recruits than NC State. Watch out for the hidden shivs.

For the rest of the weekend. Did pretty much nothing. Ran errands and the grocery store today.

I'll be watching the VT - Ohio State game tonight. Go Castrated Gobblers! I hope they can pull off the upset again.
