It looks like I will be a better father and husband on Saturdays this fall since there obviously won’t be anything to distract me.

A lot of us are going to impress our spouses with productivity this fall.

My wife is going to be so impressed with how organized our garage is about to be.

Anyone getting married this fall? I’d rather attend a wedding than watch this ****.

Yep. My son and I were walking out of the stadium just now and he asked if we were coming back next weekend. I told him we could, but what about canoe camping if the weather is good. He immediately said I’d rather do that dad - and he’s 11…

Too much hassle to drive up from the coast to watch the crap show I saw today. NC State is going to absolutely roll us.

Where do y’all canoe camp on the coast? I’ve done the Wolf River but always looking for a new place.

Too much doom and gloom, IMHO. The silver lining is that we looked pretty awful for half the game and still managed to win a game against a decent opponent (I'm putting money that La Tech will win at least 7 games). I don't care who you're playing - erasing a 20 point deficit in the 4th quarter is nothing to dismiss. It showed some poise and fight, at least.

It was Week One. If we get destroyed by NC State next Sat, maybe I'll move the needle more towards panic, but right now.... 1-0 is OK by me.

To be clear, I make the threat to be done with state football at least once almost every year. I have never carried through with it. I suspect many others are the same.

Duly noted. We're all pretty reactionary - I get it. State football has given us all a bit of PTSD.

We'll see. Sure, they beat S Florida 45-0 but S Florida is projected to be the worst team in the AAC. It will be a test, for sure, and they will be favored (and probably ranked), but I'm not conceding a blowout just yet.

Exactly. I made that threat when we went down by 20, but then they got me back on the band wagon in the 4th quarter. For now. Btw, usually I dvr all of our games but for some reason I forgot to do that for this game. How did we score the first comeback td in the fourth quarter? I was sitting in front of the tv but I guess my depression at the moment had me distracted and I missed it.

17 that. I’m not going to start impressing her now. She will continue live with mediocrity just like she is has for 26 years.

Damn! Must take a lot of work to suck that much. And before you **** yourself, I've had 6 daughters grow up as State fans and state grads and not be that pathetic... Croom and all
