Oh wait it just clicked. He was trying to riff off my joke. Meaning we play our first game at mid season, but that doesn't really work since the season starts with first game. Although if we play only 1 game that would be beginning end and mid season?

7/10/2020 10:58:42 AM

but if we play 2 games...

The NCAA has ruled to ease bowl eligibility rules for this year only to allow FBS teams to count 2 FCS wins this year.

This has to be a desperate attempt to prevent the conferences that haven't decided for certain on conference-only or not to shove the first few weeks of competition in and get those early non-cons out of the way with the hopes of bolstering their bids to a bowl game (**IF** they actually happen)

https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/sec-acc-big-12-considering-plus-one-scheduling-model-with-shortened-2020-season-becoming-an-inevitability/

ACC and SEC are considering a "plus one" format this fall, leaving conference only games + 1 non-con game, which will allow SEC-ACC rivalries to be maintained.

If this happens, that would make the most likely game for us to keep be Mississippi State, which is frankly not great for us in terms of the non-cons we could keep

7/23/2020 10:10:11 AM

Is there a place we can bet whether fall practice will actually begin on 03Aug, as currently scheduled?

7/27/2020 2:48:08 PM

Is there a place on how soon after August 3rd that fall practice will be suspended?

7/27/2020 3:03:26 PM

Is there a place to bet on whether you two find a place for your bets?

7/27/2020 3:23:21 PM

Lol. UNC is making all fans go through a single game system.

GTFO if State thinks I'm buying individual game tickets after buying season tickets.

Can’t imagine there will be fans at games...if there’s even games.

7/28/2020 8:51:11 AM

I think we will see fans, but I'm not buying additional tickets to do it.

7/28/2020 9:02:57 AM

I don't think they would make you buy a ticket to see fans

7/28/2020 9:09:58 AM

7/28/2020 9:22:52 AM

In fact I think I know ONE fan you could see for FREE!

I imagine NC State season ticket holders will get the option of refunds or rolling their tickets to next year.

I mean, with the social distancing they'll have to use, are people going to really want to keep their "season tickets" this year? You might have bought lower level seats but end up having those swapped out for upper level for the same price with probably no tailgating and required masks.

When it's 25-30% capacity, masks required, no tailgating, and limited concessions, I will definitely avoid buying tickets this year and just watch on TV.

7/28/2020 9:55:06 AM

We should do a tww zoom call during games so it’ll be like we’re all watching the game together!

I’m just kidding I’m not gonna let y’all see me

7/28/2020 9:56:23 AM

The first zoom call with zero active cameras


Actually mute the mic too, I don't want y'all to here me.


Chat only. Let's make an nc state themed chat only zoom.

Yes. Season tickets are paid for already. I will roll over the tickets to next year.

Its more of the fact that they could allow season tickets to come. ~30K sold. probably 5-10K opt out.

Thats plenty of fans that will still show. and yes i would still go with mask on.

^^^^^ Last I heard they are planning on tailgating but with restrictions. We'll see what actually ends up happening but it was on the table last I heard around late June

Lol no. #sources

Tailgating “with restrictions” seems completely impossible to enforce. I can’t imagine tailgating will happen.

I’m not even convinced the season will happen and definitely not convinced fans will be there. But tailgating on any scale surely won’t happen.

7/28/2020 11:30:40 AM

^^ They're planning on it but reviewing things, at least officially. One of the things they're looking at is a "Revision of tailgate safety planning with contractors and appropriate departments."

https://www.ncsu.edu/coronavirus/reactivating-campus/athletics/

The fact that they've canceled the Walk of Champions (football and band parts of it) makes me think they want to keep tailgating if possible in some minimized way.

I do have to agree though that it seems real difficult to actually enforce. And it would suck either way.

7/28/2020 11:52:32 AM

Well, that escalated quickly

11/3/2020 9:28:35 PM

We eeked into the top 25 and then got our asses beat, like usual.

11/3/2020 10:45:20 PM

Oh...we back?

11/3/2020 11:25:48 PM

^^ Did you expect any different?

11/3/2020 11:45:54 PM

How dare we miss a beat after losing our starting QB.

11/4/2020 3:34:41 AM

We were gonna get our ass beat regardless of who started at qb

11/4/2020 6:33:51 AM

i think it would've been somewhat competitive with Leary. UNC isn't *that* good. they're better than us, but with a competent QB and play calling that wasn't terribly conservative on the first 2 drives of the game it could've at least been competitive.

still think we would've lost though

11/4/2020 12:04:06 PM

Our defense would still have been bad. UNC's offense is very, very good but their defense and special teams have been just awful. I don't think Leary would have been able to keep up with Howell and co.

[Edited on November 4, 2020 at 1:51 PM. Reason : .]

Games are not played in isolation. QB play affects the defense.

11/5/2020 12:20:27 PM

Anyone have any idea what channel the game is on this weekend?

11/18/2020 8:21:43 AM

Fox sports south if you’re in the NC area, I believe

11/18/2020 8:38:03 AM

its showing on ESPN3 on the app but not on the fox sports go app. I believe ESPN3 will be blacked out like usual ughh

11/18/2020 9:09:26 AM

Yea in FL it's on Sun Sports, a fox sports affiliate

11/18/2020 9:15:33 AM

What’s your cable provider? Do they normally carry the FSN/RSN games? If so, you should be good. But I really don’t know. I know several services have dropped the regional fox sports networks lately. Which is no fun imo.

11/18/2020 2:16:13 PM

I don't know if it got booted from the play store bc I can't find it, but Thuuz tells you the channel for games.

If you give me your zip code and provider I'll tell you

If you give me your mothers maiden name and social security number and a fee of $1000, I'll give you $50000

11/18/2020 2:50:41 PM

This team has surprised the Hell out of me. Besides choking the Miami game, we are overachieving. Healthy Leary all year could have went 9-2. Still can go 8-3.

Also before the TWW shutdown, many of us tried to tell you all that Liberty was no joke.

Youtube TV is my provider. Hulu also doesnt have it. Signed up for a free trial of At&t now TV for 7 days to be able to watch it on MASN lol

11/19/2020 8:40:23 AM

Yeah I have YouTube tv too. And they dropped the RSNs. Which is very frustrating. I did the free trial of Hulu for the Duke game earlier in the season. So I’ve used that up already.

11/19/2020 10:16:54 AM

^^ I still get people sleeping on Liberty and I don't get it, after what they've done this year and what they did last year. I'm going in with similar expectations to the Miami game (but maybe a little more tempered). We win, great, if not, oh well, they're ranked.

11/25/2020 7:18:25 AM

Wait. I thought UNC-Uva was touted as the “south’s oldest rivalry”.

And all along it’s really been State - Wake. Typical UNC media bias.

11/25/2020 10:54:28 AM

Auburn-Georgia is an older rivalry than UNC-UVA. They played their first game 8 months before "the south's oldest rivalry" began.

UNC-UVA didn't play each other in both 1917 and 1918. Auburn-Georgia also skipped those WW1 years as well as 1943. State-Wake has been played continuously since 1910.

11/25/2020 1:49:59 PM

I’ve heard auburn - UGa referred to as the “deep south’s oldest rivalry”. It’s a dumb designation regardless. I was just making a stupid joke anyways

11/25/2020 2:22:11 PM

Sports is serious business. No jokes allowed

11/25/2020 2:35:36 PM

We’re also getting kinda loose with what’s considered a “rivalry” but I’m not really put much effort into caring about what is/isn’t a rivalry

11/25/2020 4:46:56 PM

Malik Dunlap apparently not on the team anymore and Doeren said planning to move on without him.

Wtf

11/30/2020 4:54:03 PM

In the press conference it was more open ended, said he wasn't on the depth chart until he decides what he wants to do, has it changed since then?

I don't know recent snap counts but sounds like he is unhappy with PT and considering transfer rather than a disciplinary thing.
