Smurfs Win

It’s been a really frustrating football season.

State is playing better than our record shows. Especially when considering the injuries our team has been dealing with.

Our high hopes, and probably too high expectations, are now looking like a losing season and no bowl game. With 4 games remaining – we have to win 3 to go 6 and 6 and become bowl eligible.*

At this point, we’re starting to play for ‘next year’.

However, for me – the bottom line is this –

NC State used to be –

James Oblinger – Chancellor
Lee Fowler – Athletics Director
Herb Sendek – Basketball Coach
Tom O’Brien – Football Coach

State is now -

Randy Woodson - Chancellor
Debbie Yow - Athletics Director
Mark Gotfried - Basketball Coach
Dave Doren - Football Coach

I'll take what we are now over what we used to be any day of the week and 6 times on Sunday.

*The 6 win rule should be changed. Back when the season was 11 games - 6 wins meant you had a winning season to be bowl eligible. A bowl loss - and you were no worse than an even record. The regular season is now 12 games. To be bowl eligible - teams should have at least a 51% winning record - which would mean 7 wins.
