BonnieBroad, Did you paint yourself red and white?
 
Looks like your Pack ruled today.

cmcfong, I just got home ... just walked in the door, and am now trying to cheer my Carolina Tar Heels to a victory over Wisconsin! :-d

My friend and I had a fabulous time at the NC State-Eastern Kentucky game tonight, but we did spare everyone the sight of us in red & white body paint!!! =-o :p (We're going to wait for the Wake Forest - State game!) I don't think poor Eastern Kentucky knew what hit them (58-10!!!) .... I was actually pulling for them to score another touchdown or two, just so their Mothers wouldn't be so upset! :-) They'd never played an ACC team before; they probably won't want to come back!

We tail-gated with some friends, stuffed ourselves and had a blast in general! Thank you for asking!!! :-)

Well, to my shock and delight the Deacs won tonight, too! But we will be waiting for you in your red and white!

Glad you had fun.

Too bad the Tar Heels couldn't play better against Wisconsin. Since my wife and I are both graduates of both schools, we decked the family out in a hodge podge of Tar Heel and Badger clothing. There were a lot of Badger fans at that game. It is going to be a looooooooooooong season for Carolina, especially with the tough schedule. It is also said to lose and have Duke win, even it was against VMI.

Here in WFU country it is always ABC (Anyone But Carolina).

Dan, that UNC schedule is a killer !!!!!!! Their game last night wasn't a pretty one, that's for sure ... :-(

cmcfong, now just pipe down there! :p In our neighborhood, it's "Anybody but Puke ... er, sorry, I meant Duke!" :-d

The State cheerleaders & throng were singing that rude little song last night ... "Go to hell, Carolina! Go State!"(They sing that, no matter who they're playing, apparently! X( ) I'm sure Carolina has a nice rebuttal, though. :D

(For those trying to figure out my loyalties, I have a real hard time myself!!! ;;) )

carolina panthers played a great football game yesterday too!!! i'm a ny'er, so i mostly like the giants, but i always always root for the underdog.
they were non-stop against the precious patriots!

bonniebroad Sep 19th, 2005 06:48 AM

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Otto, wasn't that great? :-d GO PANTHERS!!! AND our Hurricanes won their opening exhibition game Friday, and lost the one yesterday by just one point (5-4)!!! ;;) GO 'CANES!!!

Well, Bonnie, the Carolina crowd used to say "Go to Hell State," but that has changed over to "Duke" in recent years. That is probably not a good thing for State, since it indicates sort of a change in rivalry, but I think the change is most appropriate. Since I grew up a State fan, I have never seen them as evil like I see Duke. Of course, State is a much more worthy rival than Duke in football - probably too worthy next week.

I understand the philosophy of Coach Bunting that to be the best you must play the best, but couldn't they schedule a team or two to boost the self esteem of the fans? Is there a college football equivalent of EA Sports AllStars?
