I got the opportunity to cover practice last night for the NC State Wolfpack. Click here to read the writeup of my interview with State coach Chuck Amato (for the State diehards, I also chatted with running back Jamelle Eugene). The 1-0 Pack takes on defending MAC champion Akron at high noon at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh. Yes, they are called the Zips. No, they are not appreciably faster than other teams due to footloose and fancy-free -- albeit, strikingly cheap -- footwear.
On a sidenote, I am hearing a lot of Akron fans predicting that the Zips will knock off the Wolfpack. I can understand that line of reasoning ... however, should the reason really be that State is "overlooking" Akron? For who? Southern Mississippi the following week? Why can't you just have the confidence in yourself and your team to say your team is better? Why fabricate illogical arguments about how your team is "disrespected" or "underrated"? You are Akron. Hear you roar.
Our coach has an enormous chest and manages to make riding behind another man on a motorcycle look manly. It should be quite a contest between the rabid wolves and the disrespected sneakers ...
