Friday was a good day to be a Wolfpack fan. The football team was riding the high of back-to-back wins over ranked opponents behind the arm of Daniel Evans, who is so much straight out of a Disney movie that he sort of looks like Ichabod Crane. A Saturday home game against Wake Forest awaited, with the smells of the State Fair sure to be wafting over on a crisp fall morning. State hoops had finally gotten some great news with the commitment of standout big man J.J. Hickson. I had just written a story on Evans for Pack Pride and had just had a phone interview with former star Monte Towe, now an associate head coach for NC State. I was about to get paid to write about my alma mater … things were looking up on the Pack front.
As pointed out by Evan in his heartbreaking blog post, that’s when everything sort of fell apart. I got sunburned, State unloaded both barrels on its own feet, we lost at the last minute – and then we got stuck in traffic for 90 minutes leaving the parking lot.
Ugh. If you need a support group, share your story over on Evan’s blog. It won’t make you feel better, but … well, there’s no but. You won’t feel better; but you should do it anyway in the interest of releasing the pain.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Yes, this is a lot of whining and moaning that will amount to nothing. But we've earned the right. Carry on.
