New season, budday

Hah, yea I know. It's never early enough to get in some trash talking at UNC fans though. Every damned one of them are quick to remind any State fan out there of basketball season, no matter what time of year.

That's where I differ with most people here. I don't expect our basketball season to affect you anymore in regards to your upcoming football season than UNC's loss to State last year affects how I feel about this season.

I still think SC will win, but I'll be here tonight to either gloat or eat my crow either way. I'm sure Panthro won't allow me to do otherwise if it's the latter. :)

He'd probably ban me lol.

I never got this mentality. For me, the whole point of the preseason IS the backups. The starters are in cruise control, and spending too much time watching them in the preseason leads you to start making assumptions (like we are a 5-11 team...derr). Only thing I want out of the starters from the preseason is a clean injury report.

Meanwhile, the backups are kids fighting for their careers, trying to make plays. A lot of them are guys that I watched play when they were in college. I want to see how they do on the big stage. That's the fun part.

EDIT:

btw, not attacking you, CLT. Just using your post as a reference.

Well based on our D performance, they need more field time before next Sunday. I heard a PC this morning on the way to work where Foxx said he wouldn't play the starters long. Maybe 2 or 3 series at most? Anyone know if what's his face (DT) from the Browns is supposed to play tonight?

lol @ UNC fans talking crap about college football.

Yeah, USC has been mired in mediocrity for 100+ years...but we still sell the stadium out and have a great time watching how the team will implode this time. Never seen a worse set of fairweather fans than UNC.

Their fans are everywhere, one of the biggest bandwagons in college sports IMO, but that's coming from a NC State alumni who grew up in Raleigh so, I may be ever so slightly biased... :D

    • It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).   
    • Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️
    • It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
