GO PACK!

Hopefully our expectations will be a lot lower this year. That way we could actually be happy with a winning season and a bowl victory.

1/2/2006 11:44:02 PM

^Never accept mediocrity. Fire Herb for his team being #12 and being 11-1. Fire Amato for his team starting bad and winning 5 of its last 6.

1/2/2006 11:45:47 PM

Brent Schaeffer could make our season.

1/2/2006 11:47:07 PM

Even if we get BS, I am worried it'll be a repeat of 3 years ago. A potent offense and a young defense with a lot of holes.

1/2/2006 11:51:44 PM

I'd rather have that than an impotent offense and a defense full of holes.

1/2/2006 11:52:41 PM

^^but our QB was a senior that year and couldn't return when we had a stout defense the following season

is schaeffer talking about coming here? what's the news on that this is the first i've heard his named mentioned concerning nc state

1/3/2006 1:02:37 AM

my guess is he picks some random school nobody saw coming. but hopefully he comes here.

1/3/2006 1:20:10 AM

what...its basically down to us and Wisconson right? Man, that would be nice. Of course we would probably just end up getting our hopes up...as previously stated. I kinda hope he stays away.

1/3/2006 1:22:23 AM

well the way wisconsin played today...

1/3/2006 2:39:40 AM

We picked up two WRs today, Carlos Everett and Darrell Davis. Everett is 6'2 and runs a 4.45. Finished the year with 1200+ yards. Davis is 6'5 and runs a 4.6. finished shy of 1000 yards on the season. That means we have

6'6 Kyle Newell
6'5 Geron James
6'5 Darrell Davis
6'4 Jamesly Jean
6'3 Carlos Everett
6'2 Owen Spencer
6'2 John Dunlap
6'1 Lamart Barrett
with possibilities of getting
5'10 LaMarcus Bond (fast mofo)

Umm.... we need Brent Schaeffer to throw to our tall ass receiving corp.

Brent Schaeffer is considering us, Ole Miss(Noel Mazzone), and Wisconsin mainly. Positives for us are a wide open spot to play. Negatives- we are losing a lot of talent, which he claims to not like too much. Positives for Ole Miss is Noel Mazzone. Negatives for Ole Miss is that they are Ole Miss. Wisconsin is in almost the same boat we are positive and negative-wise. Thinks he has the best chance of starting at Ole Miss, Kansas State, and Wisconsin though. Not a good sign.

i thought Ole Miss fired Mazzone...

1/3/2006 6:36:27 AM

They did.

He's still listing Ole Miss as one of his choices, though, from what I can tell.

1/3/2006 6:52:16 AM

keep an eye out for a coaching change...

1/3/2006 10:18:08 AM

Any updates on Brooks?


Coaching change? First I've heard of that. Who?

1/3/2006 10:26:54 AM

has anyone found our schedule for next year?

1/3/2006 10:33:16 AM

@USM
Akron
App. State
ECU
GT
BC
Wake
FSU
@clemson
@UNC
@UVA
@Maryland

1/3/2006 12:04:29 PM

7 home games in a row....hell yeah...esp before the weather really cold

1/3/2006 12:07:03 PM

Ouch, 4 away games to end the season is rough.

1/3/2006 12:12:32 PM

I don't think that is the official schedule. Dates haven't been set for the games. Its just a list of next years opponets.

1/3/2006 12:14:19 PM

^^^^ Is that really our schedule? Another AA school... damn

1/3/2006 12:19:58 PM

national champ AA school though, they played at LSU late in the season and only lost 24-0, which is better than Miami could do at a neutral site

1/3/2006 1:24:28 PM

^ yeah, thats true

1/3/2006 1:36:49 PM

not in order, but thats our list of teams. i also hate playing a divison 1aa, however, they are about the best of them we could play i guess.

I honestly think that 1AA team you are talking about could beat Duke or ECU. LSU had a lot of trouble with them. 24-0 is closer than FSU came. I wish ASU would play Duke or ECU. Hell didn't they almost beat Wake a couple of years ago?

1/3/2006 2:39:16 PM

^I think you mean Miami.

1/3/2006 2:42:32 PM

well, they may be the champs, but still got crushed by 24+ by division 1 teams.

1/3/2006 9:56:10 PM

we wont have a winning season

1/3/2006 10:17:06 PM

are we gonna be able to use an aa win towards bowl elgibility again? if so i think we will make a bowl. it will be a similar result of the season except more consistent mediocrity instead of really bad then really good

1/3/2006 10:20:27 PM

think we will do better than this years team, with a better QB in stone or Brent.

please come brent

They played LSU pretty close, at LSU on their homecoming -- They were a pretty good team and I've heard they're the early pick to repeat next year. I bet ASU would be really excited to play an in-state D-1 school to try to boost some credibility, especially since they're considering making the D-1 jump in the near future. This isn't a normal 1-AA game like Richmond or Eastern Kentucky that we should take lightly
