I was sitting in the North Endzone next to the band. I knew it was over as soon as he caught it.

Facebook group for a whiteout is over 2500 now.

the whiteout is gonna look completely retarded.

im hoping that since everyone comes to the game in red, that they will just keep the red shirt on and hold onto the free white one.

7/23/2009 7:31:34 PM

pinkout!

Must have missed something along the way...

What's the point of a white out? Every single team out there uses white. How does white define NCSU? So in other words:

Quote :

"needs to be a redout"

Quote :

"N.C. State was so bad in that game, finishing 5-of-20 passing with four turnovers, 138 yards total offense and zero points, that it seemed entirely plausible the Wolfpack wouldn't find the end zone all season. After the 27-9 loss at Clemson in its ACC opener, in which the only State touchdown was an interception return by the defense on the first play of the game, it even seemed likely the Wolfpack wouldn't find the end zone all season."

I too remember reaching the same conclusion - for the exact same reason. Here's to hoping that we don't dig ourselves another hole in the beginning of this year.

What is your favorite thing about NC State football games? For me it's the feeling of the excitement in the stands, especially after a big play.

7/23/2009 8:51:36 PM

beating carolina 41-10 is my favorite thing about ncsu football

7/23/2009 8:56:04 PM

i love how loud carter finley gets, we do well for our size

7/23/2009 10:30:24 PM

the whole whiteout thing is an incredibly bad idea.

7/23/2009 10:49:07 PM

^yeah, everytime i see someone join the group, it pisses me off

7/23/2009 10:56:02 PM

there's a reason people don't scream white at the end of the star spangled banner.
there's a reason people don't say white means go.
there's a reason we don't chant white... white... to each other in carter finley stadium.

we're RED

7/23/2009 10:56:03 PM

Whose idea was it to do a whiteout...I would MUCH RATHER prefer either a Red Out or Blk Out...but either way no matter what the hell the folks in the stands are wearing I can PROMISE you guys the place will be rocking!!


Its not like everyone in Carter Finley is going to follow it anyway....so as long as the folks are in red or white...no big deal! As long as the boys in Red/white on the field give some much needed payback to those 'Cocks from SC!

7/24/2009 12:24:46 AM

i feel that EVERY game should be a red out

7/24/2009 1:27:38 AM

oh and did you see our SBPs letter on that group to the people trashing the idea?

7/24/2009 1:28:24 AM

"we all bleed red"

7/24/2009 2:13:30 AM

^^"You guys, come on....please stop arguing. We need to be ONE TOGETHER instead of being divided."

The only reason we're divided is because its a dumb fucking idea. Its not original at all.

^ Didn't take him long to figure that out

7/24/2009 10:36:58 AM

^^^^ what a silly, worthless statement by the SBP. i agree that a white out is a TERRIBLE idea, but i doubt they'll be able to pull it off and am not worried about it. no way alums would go for this, and they take up the majority of the stadium.

I think we should wear red guys

NO WE SHOULD WEAR WHITE!!

F**K THAT, ONLY QUEERS WEAR WHITE!

BUT IT WILL STAND OUT!

OUR SCHOOL COLOR IS RED SO THAT'S WHAT WE SHOULD WEAR!!!








Grow the fuck up and stop crying about what color shirt you're going to wear to a football game. god damn this is embarrasing.

7/24/2009 10:43:37 AM

if they do the white out it will only be for students, which will be given a white shirt. every one else wears red...

7/24/2009 11:06:51 AM

^^41 days til kickoff. very slow news period. wtf else are we going to argue about?

7/24/2009 12:12:15 PM

anyone have any pics of the new field

7/24/2009 12:16:28 PM

7/24/2009 1:20:13 PM

Already looks better. I do hope they repaint the walls where the ground level used to be. That would be so typical of NC State to leave that unfinished.

That's what I will be doing. Fuck a white shirt at a NCSU football game

7/24/2009 2:46:05 PM

This is the only thread in sports talk i care about

7/24/2009 3:17:14 PM

nice pics of the field. thanks.

7/24/2009 8:20:51 PM

Speaking of the band they royally got screwed on not being allowed to go on that trip to Ireland which they themselves were paying for..not the taxpayer...as much as the do for the university and the State's athletic programs, NCSU should be JUMPING at the chance to shed a positive light on some of the negative news we've been getting with our administration lately!


The 'Power Sound of The South' was totally screwed by the Man!!

7/24/2009 8:35:16 PM

While I don't really know if I like the idea of a "white out" or not, when Penn State does it it looks awesome. Some visiting players have said that the white is distracting b/c it reflects so much light onto the field, even during night games. We are The Red & White From State anyways, so it's not like it isn't one of our official colors. Still though I tend to not like gimmicks, and love the sight of the Sea of Red at Carter-Finley Stadium.

thats penn state's thing. not ours.

7/25/2009 2:52:24 AM

the only thing that could make a "white out" ok with me is if we can get a live wolf mascot. that way, we still end up all wearing red due to all the blood being spilt.

7/25/2009 7:33:56 AM

I hate the idea of a white-out with a burning passion. Whoever thought of that should be shot. We have enough problems getting people to wear red as it is.

7/25/2009 8:20:07 AM

WEAR

RED

7/25/2009 9:59:52 AM

FED

...couldn't resist

7/25/2009 10:03:23 AM

why can't we trade BC for Penn State in the ACC

7/25/2009 1:45:16 PM

oh geez, they would dominate the atlantic, i fear... probably the conference.

perhaps we should get an ACC title (someday) and then kick BC out for someone more challenging

(since they're going to tank, right?)

anyone else on here have premium over on packpride and think James Washington's parents are a little, "out there", to be kind?

7/25/2009 8:42:50 PM

what are they saying?

7/25/2009 9:03:21 PM

^they've been on there since he committed. But they take everything that is said about JW to heart and take offense to it. Like there are people on there that are inferring James should redshirt because of the depth ahead of him and him being a freshman. In response to that his parents say that James will prove everyone wrong and that the best players play and that we knock our own players too much, etc. I dunno......the moderators need to tame them down a bit i think. I'm sure its pissing everyone off they're just afraid to say it because its a players parents.

7/25/2009 9:31:13 PM

Hey don't get me wrong, the best players should play, but very rarely do freshmen come in and play right off the bat, even if they enroll early. Especially when there are two former starters (Baker and Eugene) ahead of him that are way more experienced.

7/25/2009 10:46:34 PM

Virginia Tech will play Boise State at FedEx Field to open the 2010 season.
