Yeah, for some reason I just couldn’t come up with the other 1355 items and it was a stretch for me to come up with what I did. So in case you didn’t know, I’ve been on the road for the past few days. For the first half of my fall trip, a couple of us from CCF went to up to Raleigh, NC to watch the NC State game Thursday night. For the most part, NC State fans tolerated us Nole visitors. I did have some people attempt to talk some smack to us, but it was pretty pathetic. One guy even said, “FSU sucks.” after we won the game. Ummm…good comeback there sport. We even had a UPS guy in his do-do brown truck drive by and boo us as we toured the campus and downtown. What can brown do for you, right? But it made me smile to see FSU fans drive by, honk the horn, and do the chop. Kinda brought a tear to my eye.

All in all I had a great time. NC State’s stadium isn’t all that impressive but when you’ve been going to the Doak, how can anyone compare. One feature that I really liked about the stadium is that they have a grassy hill that you can bring a blanket and sit on to watch the game. Kinda cool. The one thing that I really hated was after every successful NC State play, a wolf howl was played over the loudspeakers. That got annoying fast. I know that FSU plays the War chant a lot, but this was redonkulous (that’s a new word from Matt). However, after the 3rd quarter when we scored two back-to-back touchdowns (and later won the game), I began to view the wolf howl as a cry for help. Especially since we had the Wolfpack in the steel trap of the FSU defense. Overall it was an ugly game since both teams had such awesome defenses and sucky offenses. I was very happy to see Sexton say in the entire game and come out fired up after halftime. I’ve also heard that Sexton is going to start for the Flordia game this weekend. And as usual, Jeff Bowden’s play calling sucked something fierce. Dad said that it reminded him of FSU’s all girl glory days. I concur.

Since I had such an awesome time, I’ve got to span my adventures of a couple of days. So tune in tomorrow to hear about my adventures at UGA in Athens, GA. Also, I didn’t have time to upload the pictures from this weekend, but they are coming.

Jeff, need a new job? (link credit goes to Noel).

Hulk Smash up – Just destrory things.

As I always say, If you’re going to go, go all out.

I know its a little early, but I know you’ll enjoy this. (link credit goes to K-Gart)

Know, I don’t really have clue as to what’s going on here.

I guess he should have lived in Thailand.
