Yeah, who do they think they are? Only UNC gets that kind of treatment.

Well, Hockman can have his moments in turning the ball over. He is very confident in his ability to get the ball to his receivers in a small window, perhaps a little too confident. That said, this team was totally different in the three games he was out. He is the straw that stirs the drink...

You may live another 25 years and never see that again.

We could win those games...that is not the same as saying we would win those games. I don't think we would sweep either way, winning or losing but after watching Liberty play NC State I believe they would give us fits. However, I also believe we could run them into the ground with Gibbs...

In his interview, it was obvious that Coach Doeren was concerned about two things: Gibbs in space and the athleticism of Jeff. He also mentioned the size of the safeties and how much one or the other would drop into the box. He did not mention linebackers or defensive line...I wonder why?

Your confidence is most reassuring. I do not share it for the simple reason that Tech is not a good team while NC State is at least a pretty good team.

Well, they had their chances and in typical, for this year anyway, fashion still lost and it is not their first time in doing this.

True and Coach Doeren remarked about how resourceful and determined this Wolfpack team is but the Cuse has been especially dogged in finding ways to lose this year.

Syracuse sacked the State quarterback six times, led at half time, led at the end of the third quarter, all but shut down the State running game and still managed to find a way to lose. It's a wonder Dino hasn't pulled out what little hair he has left by now.

Damn, NC State is now getting favorable treatment that used to be reserved for Carolina. They are feeling mighty uppity these days.

NC State has a tendency to lose to good teams and beat bad teams. Tech is a bad team. Wolfpack to win and cover the 8 points. To win will require a 3 to 1 turnover margin for the Jackets, and a running game that matches what we saw last week. Not having Gibbs is worrisome because in his...

Hook em Horns? I don't know. Never thought about a wolf's ears so much.

Maybe. When I watched the Liberty and NC State game there was a big difference in the size and physicality of the Pack compared to Liberty. The NC State backs are big and broke tackles all night but NC State did not play well or smart. Dumb penalties, two turnovers in the red zone and the...

Could be worse...we could be Syracuse. The NC State game was about the third game I have seen them play where they could have pulled out a win but just did not make the plays in crunch time. College football, other than for the elite factories, is a tough business with the difference between a...

Interesting listening to Coach Doeren. He talked at some length about Tech. He was concerned about the running backs and emphasized the need for the Pack to tackle well as they did against Syracuse. He compared Tech to Liberty in our commitment to running the football and having a...

I don't know but if you want to see lots of quick slants, watch the game Saturday, NC State makes a living off throwing them. That said, there are two plays that Syracuse stuffed with regularity that they run all the time. The wide receiver bubble screen and that stretch play to the outside...

Alas, it seldom works that way in college football. The schedule could be tougher, the quarterback could get into a spat with his girlfriend, injuries, turnovers, people leave, others come in, as Spurrier used to say at Florida when things would happen with players: "We were not ready to...

I don't know, it makes sense. They are good enough to beat bad teams and not good enough to beat good ones...they just happen to play a lot more "bad" teams than "good" teams. After all, the ACC has an abundance of the former and not so many of the latter.

Well, our resident Syracuse expert has weighed in...ya'll better listen to the man.

Watched NC State play Syracuse. Syracuse led at halftime, led at the end of the third quarter, and then just could not get a first down when they needed one. Eventually, the Pack burned them repeatedly with long passes to a couple of outstanding receivers, number 88 (I think) a big guy with...
