Since you are such a die-hard tarheel fan, are you going to the bowl game?

in my brothers wedding that day in Pinehurst. looking like i'll miss the 4th quarter at least. not happy.

thats unfortunate

But at least you will be able to travel to your actual school's bowl game in Memphis on the 2nd of January. Right?

I bought my ticket from TicketMaster.

It's quick and easy. I printed the ticket right off of the computer. It was the whole thing for about $46/per ticket (uppper level). I emplore all Tar Heel fans to buy up every available ticket. Let's turn it Blue!!

Rode the short bus growing up.

Rode the short bus as an adult (with Pyscho T maybe?).

I don't understand where you would disagree with what James said. That Sean May was not overweight maybe? I guess that could be considered healthy for some people.

Congratulations on having 15k fans! Hopefully they stay past the 3rd quarter for this game.

I emplore all NCSU fans

to see the post on the massvie amount of tickets NCSU has sold for it's game. You better get yours before they're all out!!

Seriously,

I'll be driving down to the game and back the same day. Is this what the bowl commitee had in mind when offering the Tar Heels?

oh yea

Wed, 12/10/2008 - 14:54 — gvillegatr

like the pizza bowl you guys are going to this season! congratulations!!

UNC was 7 pt dogs at RU and they demolished them. NCSU is 7 pt dogs on a neutral field. get your popcorn ready!!

And the score was...

Thu, 12/11/2008 - 01:28 — tjfoose

41-10

Thanks

I love me some pizza brother. How does that tire bowl taste now that NC State dropped you out of eating oranges or peaches over the holidays.

hey guy

Wed, 12/10/2008 - 21:20 — gvillegatr

you are playing in a bowl game that is not even worthy for the ACC to sign up for.

have a good time in Birmingham doing nothing but maybe going to hang out at a civil rights museum!! maybe even go "cross the bridge" if you like!

enjoy!

As long as we are talking about museums...

Thu, 12/11/2008 - 10:29 — JPDOhio

we have a steel museum in Youngstown, just no bowl game to go with it. Talk about nothing to do!

worthiness?

Thu, 12/11/2008 - 10:03 — wolfpackcaniac

Hmmm, so Tar Heel fans are above civil rights? Much less, the museum's dedicated to those who fought for them so people can enjoy freedoms they have today?

G- I used to regard your comments as intelligent and insightful (even for a biased UNC fan), but you have lost much respect.

huh??

Thu, 12/11/2008 - 10:11 — gvillegatr

respect me, dont respect me. i'm just telling you about the only attractions in Birmingham. I guess you have never been to Birmingham? THERE IS NOTHING TO DO IN BIRMINGHAM.

anyway, like i said, enjoy!

classification

Thu, 12/11/2008 - 10:11 — JPMajor

please do not classify all UNC fans as above "civil rights". I personally have great respect for those who fought for civil rights and even those who died for it. If it was not for those American hero's, the place we call the United States wouldnt be what it is today. But it saying that, i believe he was trying to say that nothing great is in Birmingham, AL other than the museum (at least i hope). Then agian their isnt that much in Charlotte ethier. I would personally love to take a trip to the civil right museum.

so does that mean

Wed, 12/10/2008 - 15:06 — statefan2010

that we will absolutly demolish them? :P

Idk never really liked popcorn a whole lot I'll take a pizza tho

fat boy pizza

Wed, 12/10/2008 - 15:11 — gvillegatr

if you follow the string then, yea, you guys should beat RU by about 50 or 60.

We destroyed them. you destroyed us. you should double destroy RU. its that simple. lol. something tells me it wont be though ...

Another string to follow

Wed, 12/10/2008 - 16:10 — Jamuncw

Another string to follow is Rutgers won at South Florida big and South Florida won at NCSU big. So Rutgers could beat us big on a neutral site. More than likely it will be a hard fought close game with both team's offenses playing better in the recent weeks.

ya...

Wed, 12/10/2008 - 15:30 — statefan2010

I don't think this game will be as "easy" as what some UNC fans think. RU is a very different team than from when UNC played them. Just look at Teel's numbers and their win column. Its kinda clear there is a difference.

That being said I think that NCSU will win in a close game. I think that this season State has played in so many close games that they know how to react to being in a tight squeeze (7 games decided by 10 points or less won 5) as compared to RU (4 games decided by 10 pts or less won 1)

Oh please. Charlotte is

Wed, 12/10/2008 - 14:50 — JamesinWillowSprings

Oh please. Charlotte is loaded to the gills with Tar Heel fans (why else would Bob Johnson blow draft picks on overweight Tar Heel players?), and they sold out the last Car Care bowl they were in. It's no surprise at all after all the sucking they've done in football over the last decade that they would want to go to a bowl in their backyard.

Maybe someday y'all will get invited to a bowl that requires you to travel. Then we can compare apples to apples.

what???

Wed, 12/10/2008 - 14:44 — gvillegatr

this has to be some kind of mistake. UNC fans would never support their team in any sport other than basketball. thats what NCSU fans tell us all the time.
