NCSU 30 - ECU 24 +Addendum

ESPN Highlights


Post Game Celebration

The game was a hard fought, dead even, down to the wire classic. The stats were just about even all across the board. But the total offensive yards sums up the game exactly - NSCU 375 yards - ECU 374 yards.

In overtime, ECU had the ball first and fumbled. It's pretty much over if the first team doesn't score in overtime. Both teams get the ball on the 35 and can usually move into field goal range. For NC State - we punched it in to the end zone for a touchdown.

What an exciting game.

Thanks to Chip, Erica and Nuke for going to the game with me.

It was a blast.

Blue Tongue

This little girl sits a couple rows behind us. She was eating blue cotton candy and it turned her tongue blue.

Saturday Evening

Later, got a hotel room in Raleigh to do a little bar hopping. I was thinking about going to see the Batman movie on IMAX but I was too tired. Ended up watching football on TV in the room after going to the hotel bar. Nuke, being younger, in better shape, and more of a lush carried on with visiting local pubs.

This is the Raleigh skyline from the hotel room.

Addendum

There continues to be a lot of smack talk on the blogs and radio call in shows about last weekend's game.

NCSU won the game and we'll be able to talk junk to our ECU friends for quite a while.

However, in all fairness -

ECU should go on to a 10 and 2 or 11 and 1 season - win Conference USA - and play in a big time bowl. Maybe not a BCS bowl - but a big one none the less.

NC State will be hard tasked to reach 6 and 6.
