"Next Year": The Official Slogan of NC State Athletics

Below you will find some thoughts on the football teams at UNC and NC State. Did I mention that these opinions were allegedly provided by Mike Glennon, the highly touted freshman quarterback for the Wolfpack? When your team is winless in conference and sitting at the bottom of the ACC in nearly every statistical category, you probably should avoid providing bulletin board material for your rival. Here is his assessment:

(1) Nate Irving is a better LB than Quan Sturdivant & Bruce Carter.

(2) Russell Wilson should be this year's First Team All-ACC quarterback.

(3) Glennon is convinced that with a healthy Irving, they'll definitely beat North Carolina in Kenan Stadium this season.

(4) Compared to playing at Death Valley & Williams-Brice Stadium, Kenan "isn't hostile at all".

(5) Next year, NCSU will be the team to beat in the ACC.

Since he is too busy sitting on the sidelines reading the playbook and drinking protein shakes to improve his girlish physique, I guess Mr. Glennon is not paying much attention to the actual games. Your team is 2-6 while UNC is nationally ranked & sporting a 6-2 record.

Of the five points shown above, only the first and fourth are even debatable. Russell Wilson would be the third string QB for the Tar Heels and the team to beat in the ACC over the next few years resides in the Triangle, but surely not in Raleigh. In regards to point number five, maybe he is talking about the Bass Fishing team. Get used to a lifetime of losing and mediocrity Mikey-boy...
