A Word About NC State Football

State lost a close, exciting game yesterday to Florida State; 45 - 42. The game was close the whole way.

But the score also shows how porous our defense is. In the last 3 games opponents have scored 49 (Duke?!? - yeah, Duke), 53 and 45 points on us. You can't win ballgames with those kind of numbers.

I was expecting a 7 and 5 season - with next year being the breakout year. So far, we've won 1 game against a FBS opponent (Pittsburgh) and are 3 and 5 overall. We'd have to win all 4 remaining games to reach 7 and 5.

That's not going to happen.

We should be able to beat Maryland at home next weekend.

After that - it's Clemson (home), Virginia Tech (away) and Carolina (home).

Looks like we could end up 4 and 8.

(Guys - puh-leeeeze make it 5 and 7 with a win over UNC.)

The Wolfpack has taken a giant step backwards this year.

I'll be at the home games - and I'll stay to the (bitter) end of each game.

Oh yeah - basketball tickets arrived Friday. Oh joy - we're expected to finish dead last in the ACC this year in basketball too. It just keeps getting better and better.

But look at the bright side........almost the entire defensive line are seniors. So our "D" will actually much worse next year. Enjoy it whilst you can. BAWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.......
