After an interception is returned 55 yards the Vandy coach verbally assails one of his defensive players for not blocking enough on the return, which wouldn't have helped because the returner got caught from behind.

Do Wolfpack fans watch Mike Glennon scramble and think, "Oh, god, this could be it...." ? Trying to get away from linebackers is plainly not his strength. Also, this is now the fifth game this season in which NC State has committed four or more turnovers, but at least they managed to jump on the most recent "butterfingers moment" and not make it six in this game alone.
My brother-in-law is a Wolfpack alum...I will have to call him after this game...

Showing up 30 minutes late
Showing up 30 minutes late
Showing up 30 minutes late for a random dinner and 2 players calling el paso a crappy city(many of us would do the same) makes them jerks?
Also I like how that article casts the overpaid and parasitic bowl execs as hardworking and virtuous event organizers who were unjustly shunned by the big bad unpaid college football players
January 1st, 2013 at 1:53 PM |
Uhm, yes?
Uhm, yes?
It wasn't random, it was a scheduled event. The other team made it. It was disrespectful to them to not show. And if I say on here that El Paso sucks, it's not hardly the same thing as someone bing hosted by a city (and given a lot of free stuff) saying it sucks. Next time you going over someone's place for dinner show up an hour late then tweet thir house sucks. See how that goes over.
But GT and the city had the last laugh. Sportscenter wasn't running features last night on how El Paso's season imploded. Or how GT was the worst preseason #1 of all time.
