Road game.

[Jacksondevildog]

Agreed. My confidence level just went down dramatically. We are better than Virginia Tech and the crowd would have been 50/50. NC State will bring more than us and it will be like a home game for them.

Yeah, we're still a better team than them.

I cant name one guy on their team.

Besides Philip Rivers and Russell Wilson I can't name one guy EVER.

We seemingly always get screwed like that. Texas in the Cotton, NCAA tournament where same thing happened, and now this. Might as well play usc in the Rose Bowl.

You realize Va Tech is closer to Charlotte than NC St is? Nobody was complaining about playing them in Charlotte.

And Strakville is closer to Miss State than the Jackson Metro area but I bet there are more from the Jackson area at home games than from Starkville. It's north carolina and they have NC State fans all over North Carolina.

Not to mention they're the largest university in the state and we will be going to the largest city in their home state. I'd be willing to bet that the NC State alumni chapter is bigger in Charlotte than Virginia Tech's.

According to Sagarin, Virginia Tech and NC State are almost exactly the same, and we're about 20 spots better than both.

Those guys stole our "This is OUR State" billboards and put em up in NC. Then promptly lost like 16 conference games in a row.

4 awful non-conference games (must worse than our non-conference schedule, as none of their FBS opponents made a bowl)

3 ACC wins over 3 teams that went a combined 3-21 in the ACC. And those 3 wins are Syracuse beating Wake and BC and Wake beating BC!

[Jacksondevildog]

If we come out uninspired and flat, which is definitely possible, we will lose to NC State. I don't give a shit who they have played.

NC State is Kentucky. They suck. We should skull**** them.

[Jacksondevildog]

On paper, we should. But we can't run the ball or pass protect (lately).

Don't forget the fact that they are the youngest team in FBS. Their punter, kicker, long snapper, and kick returner are all true freshmen. I think they only have like 6 seniors that start. Yet they red shirted their best recruit ever for the program. And this isn't a team full of 4 and 5 star freshmen.

EDIT: They do have a damn good coach..... he was the guy that left NIU right before they played FSU in the Orange Bowl.

Redshirting your best player? Sounds familiar.
