We talked about the HOWL of the PACK sounding out in the stadium and maybe throughout the State of North Carolina. Having all Wolfpack followers Howling at the same time. Showing the size of the opponent that the other team is really facing. The season is close. I think proper preparations need to be made. NC State needs to do this maybe even every home game this year. Heck, the Tennessee game is in Charlotte. Maybe we start it there. Doing this and setting a World Record should get even another level of recognition for the 2024-25 football season. Making it something that will not be forgotten any time soon.

To make the cfp comfortably we can only drop one game in the regular season. Because even if we went 10-2 it’ll be “cupcake schedule” and we either lost our only 2 hard games or dropped one we shouldn’t have. I think 10-2 losing to UT & Clemson, but we make the CC game bc Clemson drops @fsu & @vt and it is a championship game for all the marbles, championship on the line, cfp birth & first round bye on the line & a chance to finally bring home a football championship to Raleigh for the first time in 45 years.

All other well known college football KZbinrs and other similar social media channels seem to be overlooking the Pack.

The opportunity is before Wolfpack Football team to set new expectations nationally. We know football is capable, now they need to deliver. Additionally, MBB cannot be a flash in the pan and needs to impress early next season. Boo and the coaches have built programs for long-term success, they just need to get over that preverbal hump to be seen as excellent. The Wolfpack need to impose their will this year to prove the naysayers wrong and get them to stop thinking about the football glory days of Clempson, FSU, and Miami along with reminding everyone ACC basketball is what it is because of Case, Sloan, and Valvano.

We go 11-1 (Loss to Tennessee) I believe that NC state sh*t ended with the ACC tournament win in basketball so I hope and pray that we don't lose any stupid or trap games. I have them beating them in clemson because I don't see that team being much better than last year As long as Garrett riley isn't being allowed to call the offense, I see this as a brutal and close win that hopefully ends the demons there. (Also Jordan Waters is undefeated against clemson) Tennessee I see dropping because they are really talented and their head coach is doing really good things there, but I hope for at least a close loss. (Even if it is still a loss) Btw if we win the ACC ship, Grayson gotta grow a mullet in honor of our quarterback if he plays elite all year.

IMHO, if we go 4-0, I firmly believe we go 13-1/14-1. I can also see us starting 2-2 and derailing the whole season. Have excited anticipation. Off the football field, Boo needs to announce additional seating for Carter-Finley. With all the schools removing seats, getting our stadium above 60k would be a shrewd PR move during this time of uncertainty. Additionally, he needs to get the swim facility killed by Covid back on the board. Imagine how that looks, baseball renovations, football expansion, new swim facility, additional investment... Need to make it clear that NCSU is in it to win it.

@justamaninTNАй бұрын
I do not see NC State hanging with Tennessee for 4 quarters, honestly. The key to beating Tennessee is shutting down the Tennessee run game and I do not see that happening for two reasons. First, the tempo Tennessee's offense runs means they will usually get their yards on the ground because many teams struggle to get set on time. Second, if you watch that bowl game Tennessee played against Iowa, Iowa did a pretty decent job preventing explosive plays. But the Tennessee QB absolutely killed them on the ground and consistently moved the chains. I do not see NC State making Tennessee one dimensional on offense and that is the key to beat Tennessee.

I’ll bet my favorite hat that neither of you picked last year’s path to 9-3. I think our depth will be tested early. Big games = Big injuries. If we can split or win out Tenn/Clemson without any major injuries, this could truly be a special season. Beating UNC will be significant as they will begin graduating 4 year players who never got a win against us. We get the opposite. This is culture. Continuing streaks like that against teams you face every year eventually equal beating them before the first snap. Clemson has an edge on just about every team in the conference because of past performance. ie…On paper we should beat Clemson. We beat them last year and we’ve improved our roster significantly more than they have. But they are still Clemson and a L is kind of anticipated. I want that kind of relationship with UNC.
