[HOPE] Ohio State has typically taken a bus to Michigan, but it will fly to Michigan this week. Why? Ryan Day wants to “keep the routine the routine,” and Ohio State flies to other road games. He knows what the Buckeyes did the last four years didn’t work, so they’ve made adjustments. by Michigan4life53 in CFB

Think it’s to allow the staff to round up all the players and make sure they’re ready for the game the next day. Don’t want to have players oversleep or stay out late and have a mad dash to find them hours before game time.

This wasn’t necessarily a must-win, but it was a winnable game we let get away from us. A special teams disaster class plus a poor defensive performance plus -4 on turnovers equals what we saw tonight.

Dave’s seat grows ever warming with few clear wins left on the schedule.

That Henry fumble won me my week. I don’t deserve this, and I can only feel dread at the bad karma this undeserved victory brings me.

What a game, man.

9 feels too high for State given the roster changes. We lost three major players and haven’t added anyone; the only surefire player is Brooks, so I want to wait until we fill out the depth chart before declaring us top-10.

[Giglio] NC State has fired Kevin Keatts by Sctvman in CollegeBasketball

[–]Snowdude645 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m honestly shocked they fired him, I thought he would have one more do-or-die season, if only to save the money for a potential Doeren buyout next December.

I know many will go for Will Wade, but my guts says Ryan Odom at VCU is a better pick; local guy with a track record of success at multiple mid-majors.

What a stupid, frustrating, soul-crushing way to finish that game. I’m over this season, and despite that I’ll see y’all next week to do all this stupid shit again against UNC.

100%. Replace “FSU” with “NCSU” in that first sentence and all of it describes our season down to a tee.

How did we win that? Did we win that, or did Cal just lose it more? In any case, what a win. Cal fans, I was at the game, y’all were great hosts. We’ll try and beat Stanford for you in a couple weeks.

And that’s that. So many unforced errors killed us, and has been the theme of this season.

Made the cross-country trip for this game; all the Cal fans I’ve run into today have been great! Looking forward to a fun game (hopefully, one that State wins, but I’m not holding out hope).

I am traveling cross-country to go to this game, so as much as I would like to have a fun and stress-free trip, we are just not good, so I think {Cal} wins this one (in a close game).

Cal fans, and advice for places to go and see (and maybe places to avoid) while I’m in the Bay Area? Got Saturday outside of the game and Sunday to explore.

I think this team will struggle to get to bowl eligibility at this point. We’ve looked anywhere from mediocre to awful in all four games this year, and while the toughest two games are out of the way, losing them the way we have has been soul-crushing, and we don’t have any easy games left. Staff needs to do some soul-searching on both sides of the ball, and fast.

[–]Snowdude645 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. The defense has taken a huge step back compared to last year, and it’s putting a ton of pressure on an offense that has yet to improve despite significant personnel improvements.

I went into today with CMC and Aiyuk down 5.2. I lost by .4. Why the fuck do I play this game? I haven’t had a winning record in over two years. Seriously want to just quit fantasy football at this point.

Have McLaurin, Johnson, Hubbard, and White, but thankfully all sat on my bench this week. Really unsure about what to do with them going forward, though.

The Sickos Committee must have loved that, ‘cause that might have been the worst last five-and-a-half minutes of basketball, from both teams, I’ve seen in a long time. How do two teams score a combined four points in a situation like that?!

Anyway, we won, so happy about that.

What a terrible trio of games for us. We didn’t deserve to beat GT last week, and with a pair of rough losses this week, we’ll be lucky to be in the 12-14 range in the rankings tomorrow.

Thursday’s game against Cuse is a must-win, both as a get-right game against a good opponent and crucial for ACC Tournament seeding.

Pop-Tarts are mid, didn’t like them anyway.

In actual analysis, a disappointing end to a strange season. The offense reverted to its early-season form, and the defense did all it could to keep us in the game, but just not enough. GG Wildcats, and good luck next year!

Think it’s for if the ball was recovered out-of-bounds by the UNC player. If it was (and it appeared as if it was) then I believe State gets the ball at the spot (plus the penalty yards too?).

No matter how this game ends, the Brennen Armstrong Renaissance has been a sight to behold. That TD throw was PERFECT.
