Gameday Eve for Pittsburgh

God, where has the time gone? Time to get ready for another exciting game, last one before ACC play kicks in full swing. I'm flying straight in to the tailgate once again, so it's gonna be a quick turnaround. Super pumped.

On the way to RDU, missed my first flight this a.m. but got another, I can't be stopped!!!

Gardner Webb Game Week

Another day, another FBS team to beat up on. I really wish we could have gotten these tuneup games prior to USC, but it is what it is.

I'm looking forward to another mindless tailgate/game that won't rile me up at all. I've had a rough week, so I can use a little relaxation on this Saturday.

I'm hoping for the same results as the Murray State game. In fact, anything less would honestly be disappointing. This is how you're supposed to deal with these teams, lay it on and make sure everyone knows that you are taking care of business. Bring on Pitt.

65 - 7

That was awesome/brutal. Looks like we've worked out some kinks on offense, and the D continues to stifle.

I know I know, it was a 1-AA team (FBS whatever), but it was still EXACTLY what we needed to do, and is the precise outcome that we were looking for. I expect a repeat next week, followed by a solid showing vs. Pitt.

Tailgating was awesome. Got to catch up with lots of good folk, and that will only continue. Love 'em all.

Sitting at JFK, waiting to board. Even though we play a lower tier team today, it does not lighten my excitement one bit. It is going to be a good day indeed!

DAY BEFORE GAME

OK people. It's Gameday Eve again. I think we can safely carry over the voting from last week's booze poll and just settle early on micheladas.

I'm also saddened that no silly pictures came from the day's tailgate. Let's make that happen this time around. And oh yeah, maybe if I don't get blackout drunk, I'll update this blog on a more regular basis during the game.

Mid week game week

Well folks, after a few days of digesting the USC loss, I can say that I am over it, and am now simply ready for another game and another brilliant day of NC State football.

While I believe we DEFINITELY should have won that game, in the grand scheme of things, it's not too important, and I'd rather us get a loss out of the way now and fix the issues in preparation for our ACC slate.

Who's ready for a Saturday tailgate where we can go crazy and not worry so much about the actual game? Stress relief time.

Well that sucked.

Gonna take me a few days to soak all of that in and decide how I really feel. Awkward and uncomfortable are the first words that come to mind today.

Drinkin' first beer with Greg. Life is beautiful.

Landed in Raleigh. It already smells like football. The air is just so full of football here.

In a cab, on the way to the airport. I really need a beer. I need teleportation to be invented TODAY.

GAMEDAY

OH ... MY ... GOD. I CANNOT BELIEVE IT HAS BEEN SO LONG.

I sit here in eager anticipation, awaiting my taxi to take me to JFK. The best flights in the world have a football game right on the other side of them.

ONE DAY BEFORE THE SEASON STARTS

OK assholes, it's game week. I have been insanely busy and sadly haven't posted an earlier update, but we still have time to get a quick round of votes on our "special" booze choice for this week. Allow me to propose the following options for Game 1:

1. MD 20/20 - Worst idea ever, but if we get it out of the way for the first game, it's never an option again.
2. Micheladas - Easy enough. I could be down for this. Just need some Chula, limes, salt/pepper. My vote goes to this.
3. Margaritas - Tommy G's making some Mexicanish stuff, so this would match. This requires a lot of prep though, something we've been poor at for the past few seasons.
4. Night Train - See #1.

It's so close I can smell it.

Only a few weeks away now. Getting excited I have to say.
