8/26/2008 5:43:25 PM

8/26/2008 5:45:21 PM

Wow. It just doesn't end. Ever. Fucking fuck on a fuckity stick.

Is it our players being stupid? Are they overworked? I thought with all of our world-class facilities we would be keeping our players healthy?

You guys are right this is getting ridiculous.

But we did get four bball games in Reynolds. but

anyone have any news about 2 younger guys transferring?

8/26/2008 6:03:33 PM

I wonder what it's like not to be an NC State fan.

To not have dreams crushed on such a consistent basis.

8/26/2008 6:09:53 PM

LETS GO ANDRE

8/26/2008 6:15:31 PM

This will be the greatest win evar if we pull it off.

8/26/2008 6:15:57 PM

just looked at the injury report just put out on packpride and all i can say is:



and thats more than just eugene and bowens

8/26/2008 6:24:22 PM

THAT'S SOME NC STATE SHIT


Anybody want to put this on a t-shirt? I'd buy one.

8/26/2008 6:28:15 PM

crouch isnt traveling with the team either

wonder what he did to piss off the coaches



NC STATE SHIT

Hopefully FSU Andre shows up and not a bummy Andre cause we all will be on thursday night

8/26/2008 6:30:24 PM

F this.

8/26/2008 6:34:06 PM

this is the year TOB introduces a heightened level of discipline....
we are bound to suffer in the short term so that we gain in the long term....

8/26/2008 6:36:35 PM

You can blame me for Eugene being out. When I played NC State vs. South Carolina on NCAA Football I put Wilson in as the starter at QB, but had Brown rather than Eugene as my starter (see bottom of page 35).


One guy on PP said that Thomas Barnes and Kyle Linney didn't have much of a choice in regards to transferring. They must have done something to get themselves in trouble. So 2 more scholarships are now open for this year's class.

8/26/2008 6:38:10 PM

Damn. I wasn't too high on Barnes, but Linney seemed like he could contribute at some point. Oh well

8/26/2008 6:43:08 PM

curtis underwood shocks the world.

8/26/2008 6:48:21 PM

Brown is one of my favorite players, and he's awesome, but he hasn't played healthy in a long time. I do not feel good about him starting and I feel even worse about him returning kicks (considering his health).

I guess Eugene has been banged up a little, but I didn't think it was this bad. Hopefully all of this stuff is precautionary because if we play the whole season with that many key players out we're totally fucked. I'll take the loss to SC if it means we have a healthy team the rest of the season.

8/26/2008 6:52:20 PM

Taylor Zarzar (if thats how you spell it) just had TOB on Primetime in the ACC on the radio...O'Brien talked about injuries and what not...one of the things they said was that one player that could possibly be back returning punts is...........Russell Wilson

8/26/2008 7:59:25 PM

That would be so fucking baller

8/26/2008 8:00:02 PM

it never ends

8/26/2008 8:00:34 PM

I hope TOB mentioning Russell Wilson returning kicks is just in order to fuck with SOS. Wilson did return kicks in high school.

8/26/2008 8:01:34 PM

TOB didn't mention it himself actually, but its one thing Zarzar mentioned right after he was off the air since we are so depleted...it would be baller, but also risky, which is still an understatement

he mentioned it in the wral article too

8/26/2008 8:16:18 PM

i wonder how long its been since that happened? Starting QB & Punt Returner. fuck me thursday night could get ugly in a hurry

8/26/2008 8:21:02 PM

maybe we will bookend the offseason with another 37 - 0 blow out!

8/26/2008 8:49:02 PM

^if that does happen hopefully I wont remember it

gonna need a looooooooooooot of airplane bottles on thursday

8/26/2008 9:20:58 PM

Being an NCSU fan is motivation for me to stay healthy and eat right...

without exercise and good diet, my heart couldn't take this shit.

8/26/2008 9:41:12 PM

How do we keep having all of these injuries? Is our strength training coach pushing our guys too hard?

8/26/2008 10:07:02 PM

See yall in Columbia on Thursday. peaaace

dammit, this reporter knew something we didnt

I am going to make sure that I am good and blackout come Thursday night in Columbia..

8/27/2008 1:21:14 AM

Being an NC State fan sucks. Injuries are wrecking all of my favorite teams. Fuck a duck...

I've wondered if this was the case too. Think about last year and the year before, so many player's knees just blowing out, not just in football but Basketball too.


I understand knees and players in general are susceptable to injury, and I definitely don't know as much about strength training as the coaches, but at some point you have to think its more than just NC STATE SHIT bad luck

8/27/2008 9:23:29 AM

Mike Davis is out for disciplinary issues on thursday, count your blessings.

It sounds like he's not sitting for the entire game, just the beginning of it

8/27/2008 11:01:48 AM

more like he's suspended unless they need him.

8/27/2008 11:17:12 AM

If he's dressing, he's not suspended.

and I bet he'll be in by the 2nd or 3rd series.

I was just talking about this to someone the other day. Every team has injuries and some bad luck, but our injuries are out of control and beyond the norm, especially at the RB position. Not sure how you solve the problem, but other schools don't deal with the RB injuries like we do.

The football man's 10 commandments

Extremely important recommendations for wives, girlfriends, fiancées, mothers, sisters and daughters.

1. From the first weekend in September until the end of the bowl season, the television is mine, at all times, without any exceptions. The remote control will be fingerprinted each night, any sign of your fingerprints and all shopping trips will be canceled for a month.

2. If you have to pass by in front of the TV during a game, for an important reason such as preparing snacks or getting me a beer, I don't mind, as long as you crawl along the floor.

3. During the football season, read the sports section of the newspaper so that you understand who I'm yelling at during the season. As a tip, check the box scores for the referees' names too.

4. During the games I will be drunk as Cooter Brown. You cannot expect me to listen to you, open the door, kill any spiders, answer the phone, etc. It ain't gonna happen.

5. It would be a good idea for you to keep at least 2 six packs inthe fridge at all times, as well as plenty of things to nibble on, and please do not make any funny faces to my friends when they come over to watch the games. In return, you will be allowed to use the TV between 12am and 6am, unless they replay a good game that I missed during the day.

6. Please, please, please!! if you see me upset because my team is losing, DO NOT say " get over it, it's only a game", or "don't worry, they'll win next time." If you say these things, you will only make me angrier and I will love you less. Remember, you will never ever know more about football than me and your so called "words of encouragement" will only lead to a break up or divorce.

7. If a great play occurs while you are in the room, you may be required to freeze or repeat your act for the rest of the game as good mojo. If my team wins, you will be showered with gifts for the next 6 days. If they lose, you will be blamed repeatedly for moving, blinking or secretly not believing in your heart of the power of mojo.

8. Tell your friends NOT to get married, have any babies, or any other social related parties or gatherings that requires my attendance because: I will not go, I will not go, and I will not go. However, if a friend of mine invites us to his house on a Saturday to watch a game, we will be there before the Coors Light bottles reach "Code Blue".

9. You are welcome to sit with me to watch one game and you can talk to me during halftime but only when the commercials are on, and only if the halftime score is pleasing me. College Gameday and the highlights on Saturday night are just as important as the games themselves. Even if I
curse Lou, Herbie, and Corso, I still want to hear what they say.

10. And finally, please save your expressions such as: "Thank God the football season is only during the Fall." I am immune to these words, because after this comes the NFL playoffs, the Pro Bowl, AFL, the CFL, and the replays on the college sports channels.
