I just read it, what's the beef?

Still don't feel good about Tennessee. That offense just worries me, though it looked a little bit better. They really were gifted the game at the end.

I had a sinking feeling about State at ECU. I didn't get a chance to watch it, but is it really all on Doreen? I don't know much about the football program here before I got here; I thought State had lost a lot of weapons on offense over the summer.

nothing is ever the acc's fault

we didn't win, state lost, etc

while he did bring up some valid points, he also glossed over some as well to suit his argument

for such a young, vibrant guy, he just comes across as grumpy and crotchety will beyond his years i guess is my point

ECU is a football school. State isn't. Shouldn't be a surprise at this point.

What do you consider State? Serious question. Are the three Triangle schools basketball schools that like to have decent football programs?

580 wins and 1,198 all time games would seem to suggest otherwise

UNC is in the same boat imo

ECU is the newbie of the three

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I mean, there is no "serious answer" to this "serious question". I guess the question you're asking is "do I consider them to be a basketball or football or some other kind of school". And I guess the answer is "they've kind of sucked at both for a generation, but they've sucked at basketball less."

(If they're "anything" right now, they're a baseball and wrestling school.)

Okay, so they've been playing mediocre football for a very long time? An under .500 football record, aggregated over 120 years. Yay football!

Don't be so defensive. What I'm telling you is that I believe ECU has a better program than NCSU, and has for some time now.

It's a Hockey school

to be fair, 55 of those games are ties

so they are technically over .500 in their career

but your point still stands as evidenced by this v accurate* twet:

* - grammar error aside ofc

I don't disagree.

The reason I said it was a "serious question" is because we're on a board known for sarcasm and smart remarks. I'm not very familiar with the sporting accomplishments of NC State.

they won a shooty hoops tournament back in the early 80's and have done nothing since

state is to college basketball

as uga is to college football

god damn it, hank was right

ESPN's Week 2 Bowl Predictions are out.

I would be fine with either of the Bowls they have ECU in, but I would feel better about a win vs Toledo than I would against Georgia Tech lol. Then again, we do own the ACC

you are intentionally leaving urself vulnerable to a bevy of counter posts from the strong contingent of ecu fans here (basically, blueline, raynman, myself and *kinda* oogie boogie) that will most likely get us in trouble with cpt. mountaineer

i see thru ur trap as easily as i see thru the miso soup i will have in approx. ~6 hours

 

[RodTheBawd]

Saying it means more to ECU than it does to NCSU is akin to UNC fans saying we're not their rival in basketball. **** that. If you know a team and fanbase hates you and are going to get up for it, you do the same. This year, I thought the players finally did. The only thing that kept us in the game was the players making plays, in spite of terrible coaching. How Dave Huxtable still has a job is beyond me.
