So true…similarities to A&M are amazing too…

I’m going to side with State on this issue. I thought the writer did more to take shots at State than address the issues of concern.

Karl Hess abused his power, football expansion in 2003 was the right thing to do and in hindsight it still is, even in that expansion still gave NCSU 2 games with Duke and Carolina every year. If it was not for State fans who knows what else UNC-Cheat would have gotten away with. Their anger is some what justifiable.

The idea of quiting because you can’t beat someone is the definition of being a loser. What winners do is get better and beat them straight up. Nobody is stopping NCSU from winning…the fact that they lost to Clemson today while on the bubble is inexcusable.

Yeah State fans are who got Carolina in trouble…right.

Siding with State on this one as well.  I guess speaking your mind and standing up for yourself is wrong.

Makes sense to me since Carolina and Duke are the ones whose coat tails you two get to ride…that rivalry is why ESPN paid as much as they did for television rights.

God knows your tv contract aint carried by Clemson or NCSU football…I hope that can change so we can all cash in because you are right it is football that is the big money, but the football schools need to step up.

No worries, I wonder who is favored in a rematch if we get one? Want to guess?

Ask Maryland.

Carolina is a little tougher than Miami too I think.
