…in horseshoes and hand grenades! I understand that we have lost 7 of our 9 games by 8 points or less, but that doesn’t cut it in my book. We should have never been in the position to lose half of those games. Akron? Seriously. Southern Miss? Virginia? UNC? ECU? This season our offense averaged just 17.5 points per game. While our defense gave up an average of 21.8 points per game. Yes, I do realize that it puts the average margin of our losses at just over 8. The most points our offense put up this season was…24, and surprisingly that was against Florida State.

I have been silent on this blog long enough so here we go with my first entry and what a surprise it is about NCSU! It is no secret that NC State football has had a tough year. Two early losses to lesser competition cause a quarterback change to the former walk-on and Wolfpack legacy Daniel Evans. After two thrilling ACC victories over BC and FSU the Wolfpack was rolling once again. We were even in the race for the Atlantic division title but then things fell apart. Lots of close games ended in 6 straight losses with one game remaining against ectc on Saturday. There are lots of people calling for head coach Chuck Amato to be removed as head coach but I am on the side of Chuck Amato. As head coach at NC State Amato has done so many good things for the program. Just look at Carter Finley Stadium with the Murphy Center, Vaughn Towers, and the new North End Zone and remember the grass hill, old press box, and old field house. Look at all of our players that have gone on to play and star in the NFL, can anyone say Philip Rivers or Mario Williams. We have also been elevated in the national picture and the recruiting has greatly improved. We also had one of our better years ever in 2002-2003 and capped it of with a Gator Bowl victory over Notre Dame. With all of this being said a 3-8 record is unacceptable. But with all that Chuck as given back to the university it would be silly to turn on him now. Lets keep Chuck, beat ectc, enjoy watching Sidney Lowe coach the basketball team, and hope that Justin Burke is the answer at QB.

I’ve been called a lot of things in my life, some I can repeat, some I can’t. But you are about to call me crazy, stupid, insane, and probably a lot worse that I honestly don’t want to hear. What is the big announcement? What am I about to say that will change the way you think of me? NC State will beat UNC-CH in basketball atleast once this year! Yes you did hear that correctly. I predict NC State to beat those stuck up baby blues from the school to the northwest that isn’t really all that worthy of being mentioned again.
