GO STATE!!!

How do you turn a disappointing 4 win year into a very exciting 5 win season? It is very simple, beat Carolina! Although this football season was one marred by injury for the pack, we played hard for 60 minutes every game and never gave up. We were very close to beating South Carolina, Wake Fores, and Florida State but couldn't pull it out. But with all of the adversity and all the close losses I am still a proud member of the NC State faithful, a real fan who does not make snide remarks like "Just wait for basketball season", like many Carolina fans are undoubtedly proclaiming as they exit Carter Finley. A fan who will wear NC State gear the day after an embarrassing loss or after a big win the same. I love my team, and I love it when we beat Carolina! For the third straight year we have willed our selves to victory as the underdog!

With 13 season ending injuries this year and being so close to at least an 8 win year, one can only imagine what is in store for future O'Brien coached teams which avoid the injury bug! I am excited for the future and thankful for todays 28-27 win over the Heels. I have great hope for the backs, am encouraged by the O-line's improvement, anxiously awaiting the return of Nasty Nate, and looking forward to seeing how O'Brien's recruits and team make North Carolina State University proud for future seasons, for at his direction we are bound for big things! Until next season...

Shout out loud for the men who will play the game to win,
We're behind you keep fighting for state!
Hold that line hold it fast we'll reach victory at last,
We're behind you keep fighting for state!
Stand up to the fray and let your colors wave,
Shout aloud for dear old NC State!
GO STATE!
So where ever we go we will let the whole world know,
we're behind you keep fighting for STATE!

Blindside

Today I went to see the new Sandra Bullock movie, Blindside. It was amazing! Sandra Bullock's character seemed to be written for her, and lets just face it she is flat out hot for her age. Besides this obvious fact, it was a true feel good story of human decency and overcoming the odds. Best of all it was a true story. I would recommend this movie for all.
