NC State 30, East Carolina 24 (OT)

[RelativeWays]

Wow, I never realized how much these teams hate each other, emotions are already flaring. 7-7, this could be a good one.

These two schools have always recruited the same players (there have been a couple instances where a player comitted to one school, then backed out and went to the other) and since NCSU is the closest ACC school to ECU there has always been more a rivalry than the other ACC schools. Don't take that to mean ECU and fans don't want to stomp any and every ACC school they play. It just seems they dislike NCSU a little more. And make no mistake these players know each other, it's personal.

Big call here. If ECU scores on this mistake, this may take the wind out of NC State. Kind of too bad because they've handled themselves fairly well today.

What will State fans do if they lose to ECU in basketball and football in one year's time?

They'll probably resurrect the firesendek.com web site and split it into 2 boards: firetom.com and firesid.com.

Since the game is at NCSU there won't be any tearing down the goal posts. However the ECU kids know how to party. As a native of this state it would be hard for me to say which is the bigger party school ECU or App State. Regardless, despite the success they have already had this season, if ECU wins there will be parties all over Greenville tonight. If anyone reading this plans on attending, take some advice and learn from my mistake while on the ECU campus in my younger days. If there is pizza at the party DON'T eat it, or at least let someone else try it and see how they are acting in about an hour.

Alcohol= ECU
Weed= App.

Right now the biggest handicap State has is the coach. O'Brien's coaching is killing them, it's like watching Franks/ Roof lead Duke. Even down to using two quarterbacks in the same series. Congratulations Wolfpack, you got yerself a winner there.
State's defense is looking good, and so is ECU's. But I credit O'Brien more with the turnovers than I do ECU. Stick with your better QB, and your chances improve. ECU should not lose this game.
P.S. NCSU vs. Duke could be a very good day in Durham.

[devildeac]

ecu 14-7 over the wolfies at the half.

ECU is more than just alcohol I assure you. Think about ingredients that go on a pizza. Bad, bad, bad night.

ECU, hands down, is the bigger party school. I would definitely expect major shenanigans tonight. I see more business coming CathyCA's way.

state just tied it up at 14-14 with a 7 play, 60 yard drive to start the 2nd half.

Alcohol= ECU
Weed= App.

Exactly. I'd say ECU is a bigger "party" school, but if you want weed (or something a little...stronger) App is your place.

ecu with 3rd and 1 at the ncsu 1 yard line and a 21-17 lead.

[RelativeWays]

Terrible play calling by ECU.

[devildeac]

pirates had 1st and goal at the ncsu 4 and did not score, giving over on downs-WTH!

[devildeac]

Pirates had another 1st and goal inside the ncsu 5 or 10 yard line, this time settling for a FG. Let's see if their lack of execution comes back to bite them on their posterior with a late wolfpack TD to tie or win the game if they get a 2 point conversion.

My fear of State putting things together before we played them is starting to come true...they've looked pretty good during the parts that I've watched.

That was my fear also. They are at the ecu 3 or 5 with about 2 minutes to go with a 2nd and goal.

[devildeac]

24-24 with about 2 minutes to go and ecu receives the kickoff.

[RelativeWays]

We don't play State until November so there's no telling what they'll be like (or what Duke will be like) in a month and 1/2 from now. Don't forget State is going to be way more hyped to beat ranked ECU at CF than us at Wade. Lets just worry about UVA for now.
