Football!

Yesterday was the first football game of the season-where I was able to go at least! We played Citadel at 6pm, and the day was absolutely perfect for tailgating. I was worried for all of 2 minutes during the game when Citadel tied us at 7-7, but then NCSU went on a run and never stopped. The final score ended up being 52-14.

After a great weekend, I'm back to grind! 2 projects to work on, 3 articles and 4 chapters to read, and a couple hours working for my internship!

NC State going BOWLING?!?

NC STATE FOOTBALL=BOWL ELIGIBLE!!

Completely shocked and excited that we are going to a bowl game again! I have been pleasantly surprised 3 times this year.

First: a crushing win over Carolina

Second: a HUGE upset over Clemson

Third: The biggest comeback I have EVER seen this past Saturday over Maryland.

We were down 41-14. And then started to creep back into the game. Maryland missed an extra point, and my cousin made the comment, “with the way this game is going, that could be important.”

I was hoping he was right, but I didn’t know if we could come back from such a huge deficit. But WE DID. We came back and were winning 42-41. Then managed to score 2 more touchdowns (one on an interception), to seal the deal.

42 unanswered points?!?

Impressive SECOND HALF WOLFPACK!!

NCSU/UNC Annual Football game!

Since we have quite a few Carolina and State Alum, there has been some "talking" back and forth in our class! The first year students coordinated together and were able to get 3 parking passes for the Fairgrounds lot to tailgate the morning of the game. We sent around a sign up sheet for food/drinks and we ended up with cornhole, a grill, biscuits, bacon, eggs, pancakes, donuts, orange juice, bloody mary mix and a few adult beverages mixed in.

We carpooled out to the field at 8am, and started cooking breakfast. It was a little cold that morning, a brisk 39 degree to be exact but we still had a great time. It started out with 14 of us, and once it started to warm up more and more people came by. Before the game we had about 25-30 people out there! Everyone had a great time at the tailgate, then we all went into the game and watched the PACK absolutely dominate the Tarheels!

 5^th year in a row that the WOLFPACK come out on top!

Now, let's hope we can continue the momentum into basketball season...
