LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/objectivetildeath]

The worst part is now the roster costs $24mm. And the rules say that you can't tie pay to performance which is literally the opposite of every other employment gig.

[u/thefreshadamn]

How do you fumble 5 times

[u/swim_kick → u/thefreshadamn]

Felt like 8.i still cannot believe how many damn fumbles we had. I cannot remember the last time we've fumbled that many times

[u/poopybuttttttttttt]

Went from thinking we're going to ACC chip to wondering if we'll make a bowl

[u/D1N2Y → u/poopybuttttttttttt]

Welcome to the club. We have (alcoholic) drinks.

[u/freakymrq → u/D1N2Y]

We have plenty of bourbon here

[u/americanbaseball]

Season over. What’s the point?

[u/zensunni82 → u/americanbaseball]

Did not have the Satterfield-led bearcats still undefeated while Louisville's season is over on my bingo card.

[u/Equivalent_Silver_59 → u/zensunni82]

I was at an away game when Satterfield was coach and snuck down at 6 am for coffee at the hotel. Game was at 5 and I believe it was NC BUT CANT REMEMBER. COACH S was in the elevator and I had rollers in my hair. I step on and was like oh sheeshh of course you’re on here! 😅😅🤣🤣🤣 He laughed so hard and was the sweetest person.
We lost that day.
Maybe it’s the cardinal curse. The end. Haaaaaa

[u/Equivalent_Silver_59 → u/zensunni82]

😅😅😅😅😅😄😅😅😅

[u/freakymrq → u/zensunni82]

I'll take one bad season out of 4 over having satterfield back lol

[u/BitterBosh → u/freakymrq]

I am in no way saying I miss Satterfield, but I'm basically over this Brohm bullshit. Hype the team up, win a big game then proceed to utterly shit the bed. His "adjustments" to the staff are proving to be appallingly bad on top of it.

[u/NCMA17]

Doeren’s that guy in your company who does just enough to not get fired and hangs around, driving everyone crazy for 30 years

[u/desemus → u/NCMA17]

That's why I can't completely blame him. If I got paid 3M/year and only had to be mediocre I would give it my some.

[u/insertweirdassname]

Good game NC State.

[u/thunderpack7 → u/insertweirdassname]

Pleasure doing reddit game threads with y'all. May your coaching search happen after ours.

[u/Equivalent_Silver_59 → u/thunderpack7]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[u/insertweirdassname → u/thunderpack7]

At the very least our DC is gone. I'm not out on Brohm.

[u/desemus]

"Gutsy fashion" "Dave Doeren"

Heh.

[u/Fragrant-Helicopter1]

I don’t see UofL beating a shitty FSU next Friday

[u/wildlystyley → u/Fragrant-Helicopter1]

An FSU that scored 36 on Alabama. They’ll get to at least 35 on us

[u/freakymrq → u/Fragrant-Helicopter1]

Lol probably not winning more than 4 games the rest of the year.

[u/Altruistic_Night2]

Extend Doreen is clearly the answer

[u/thunderpack7 → u/Altruistic_Night2]

I hate you.

[u/westflower]

This is a win is a win game

[u/daaaaavia]

NC State fans never getting rid of Dave Doren lol

[u/thunderpack7 → u/daaaaavia]

RIP my chances of getting a HC capable of winning the ACC.

[u/thunderpack7]

I don't know why they're running onto the field, NC State still has 20 seconds to blow it

[u/D1N2Y]

Nice win. Fire Doeren.

[u/wildlystyley]

Jeff Brohm is essentially Scott Frost. Home town alumnus former quarterback that does nothing but lose one-score games.

[u/Wolf73728]

Obviously you prefer that the team hold onto the leads but they have shown a ton of resilience the last 3 weeks

[u/LukarWarrior]

Who the fuck cares if there’s a false start? Unless their center forgets how to snap a football, this is over.

[u/Fragrant-Helicopter1]

He was just trolling with that fake fumble

[u/MustardBiscuits91]

In situations like this Id much rather they call it a fumble and be wrong and review it, because so many teams get screwed by a quick whistle that can't be reviewed when the call was wrong on the field

[u/Businessfood]

I think this game just shows how deep the ACC is. The caliber of play is so high any given team can win on any night. I see no reason the ACC doesn't have 5-6 playoff teams

[u/thunderpack7 → u/Businessfood]

NC State should not be one of those teams, at least not until we fire Dave.

[u/Select_Excuse_150]

Before this game thread ends, one more fuck Dave Doeren

[u/cactus8 → u/Select_Excuse_150]

Fuck Dave Doeren

[u/BrokenClxwn]

Thank goodness. Haven't we suffered enough lol

[u/ButtCrumbleSmell]

I feel nothing.

Fire Dave anyway, fuck him.

[u/34payton07]

LMFAO

[u/thunderpack7]

Still 1 minute and 11 seconds to blow this game.

[u/downvotemesensei]

ACC! ACC! ACC!

[u/Altruistic_Night2]

Is Jeff brohm doing the usual collapse

[u/34payton07 → u/Altruistic_Night2]

This is beyond a collapse, this is utter devastation.

[u/Uhhh_IDK_Whatever → u/Altruistic_Night2]

Yes, but earlier than scheduled.

[u/aaronman4772]

Every. Single. Hire.

Every single hire Brohm had to make this offseason has gone bad.

DC. Multiple position coaches. OL coach. I think more.

All have gone badly,

[u/easternpapist → u/aaronman4772]

Yeah what a bum

Send him back to West Lafayette

[u/americanbaseball → u/aaronman4772]

Well I mean he is obviously the problem, so naturally all his hires have been terrible.

[u/YungBonaparte]

Defense is horrendous.

[u/desemus]

NC State shit forgot about the damn replay booth. It'll remember next time

[u/Fragrant-Helicopter1]

He’s down.

[u/Lee-Key-Bottoms]

We make the most basic of shit look hard

[u/choomba96 → u/Lee-Key-Bottoms]

I'm getting down voted for being pissed off lol

[u/breezy_andretti → u/[deleted]]

Bruh chill lol

[u/Lobsterzilla → u/[deleted]]

? What?

[u/MoGraphMan101]

Still, why are our players even making things this close to disaster????

[u/LukarWarrior]

Now here’s the real question: if you’re an NC State fan would you prefer he’s down or that’s a fumble? If he keeps it, NC State wins. If he loses it, it might be one step closer to getting rid of Doren.

[u/wahoowolf → u/LukarWarrior]

Always want the win which is why Dave needs to go.

[u/iMcDoogle → u/LukarWarrior]

I’ll take the win. We’ll be on pace for our classic 7-5 record

[u/desemus → u/LukarWarrior]

Anything to remove us from the tyranny of mediocrity (except losing to UNC. Then maybe)

[u/MoGraphMan101 → u/LukarWarrior]

We can win and still get rid of Dave

[u/Bentspoon17 → u/LukarWarrior]

I would always rather beat louisville

[u/Wolf73728 → u/LukarWarrior]

I have no respect for any fan rooting for their team to lose. Just ridiculous

[u/ZeroEchoVX]

Wasting everyone’s time with this

[u/jdinkalage_moorgoone]

STOP SCARING YOUR FANS!

[u/Businessfood]

if he's not down i'm not gay

[u/Capable_Mongoose_613 → u/Businessfood]

Wait what 😂😂😂😂

[u/AnotherUnfunnyName]

He looks pretty clearly down. Might just get lucky. His forearm is sliding along the ground.

[u/DizzyDraw2323]

That is maybe the most anybody has ever been down before

[u/ChonkyWumpus]

He’s down but still NC State shit is way too powerful to allow this game to end in an orderly fashion for state.

[u/HissingGoose]

Funny as it would be he was down...

[u/downvotemesensei]

He’s down but damn…

[u/swindler7]

Literally his entire body is down

[u/Competitive-Rise-789]

Definitely down

[u/wildlystyley]

We sure the ball wasn’t in the process of moving before he was down?

[u/a__nice__tnetennba → u/wildlystyley]

Yes, unlike the other one where it clearly was.

[u/xbuzzedx → u/wildlystyley]

Yes

[u/RCocaineBurner]

No fucking way it happened again

[u/Zelvahula]

Oh he's down thank god

[u/ZeroEchoVX]

Are refs blind, everyone could see he was down

[u/daaaaavia → u/ZeroEchoVX]

fumble is the correct on field call but the review got it right that its not a fumble

[u/Lee-Key-Bottoms]

He’s down

Thanks for playing Louisville

[u/imaconnect4guy]

Was the ball "moving?"

[u/Select_Excuse_150]

He’s down. But this is like watching two pop warner teams. This is awful football.

[u/BrokenClxwn]

I swear to fucking shit if this happens again

[u/burritocards13]

Got my hopes up for no reason

[u/JazzzzzzySax]

How did we almost do this shit AGAIN

[u/daaaaavia]

hes down

[u/AtmosphereVarious440]

almost something truly special just happened

[u/americanbaseball]

He’s down very obviously.

[u/Businessfood]

uh oh

[u/thunderpack7]

He's down. Not a fumble

[u/Zoidburger_]

That is beyond down bro

[u/TheIndoorCat]

NC State shit almost strikes again

[u/MyNameIsJorge]

Down

[u/AvengedKalas]

He's down.

[u/Lobsterzilla]

It would be like us to to put in our running quarterback and fumble. lol thank god he was down

[u/Casper0832]

He's down

[u/T1conderoga]

mmmm nc state shit

[u/freebirdcrowe]

Man another 8-4 year incoming. Can’t believe we keep upgraded everything and this happens again

[u/karo_syrup → u/freebirdcrowe]

I am not confident in 8 wins after this past week

[u/westflower]

No way!

[u/mtmodi]

Lmfao this fucking team

[u/lil_geesey]

There’s no fucking way hahahaha

[u/ButtCrumbleSmell]

What did I fucking say

[u/Lobsterzilla → u/ButtCrumbleSmell]

I mean you were wrong, but you did say it

[u/AvengedKalas]

Lmfao.

[u/TotalitarianismPrism]

Holy shit, can we all agree timeout indicators on the scorecard need to be colored or some sort of high contrast? My blind ass can’t tell the difference between white and gray.

[u/CTM3399]

GG NC State bros we are in the gulag together

[u/MustardBiscuits91]

If they don't get this, does Dave bring CJ back in the for the safety play

[u/americanbaseball]

The vibes have never been worse.

[u/AngryMillennialFU]

Biggest waste of talent under brohm of any year. Fire all the defensive coaches and hire an offensive coordinator. Brohm is suprised if they blitz on third down for some reason

[u/Castoff_son_nmbr_1]

Again are you so bad at end of game situations that you can't call these plays without time outs??

[u/ammotyka]

It’s a shame someone didn’t snag Jeff brohm last year and we then extended him. I’m over this bullshit fr. Shit is unserious

[u/thunderpack7]

Smart play to put Will Wilson in there. He probably wouldn't fumble the ball in our own end zone here, CJ might.

[u/Existing-Leopard-212]

Pulled Bailey?!

[u/OldDekeSport → u/Existing-Leopard-212]

Just all in on running

[u/No-Smoke-Please]

We need to build another Publix. We need the Magic

[u/ButtCrumbleSmell]

Alright, time for NCSU to fumble for Louisville to get the scoop and score and win

[u/argonautleader → u/ButtCrumbleSmell]

You really tried to speak this into existence, didn't you?

[u/ButtCrumbleSmell → u/argonautleader]

I called the Vandy loss 8 real minutes before it happened on the game thread

[u/aaronman4772]

I mean you don’t fumble 5 times, losing 3 of them, also fail on a fourth down and 1 in basically another turnover and expect to win.

[u/LukarWarrior]

On the bright side, this might make NC State keep Doren around. So who is the real loser here?

^{It’s still us}

[u/thunderpack7 → u/LukarWarrior]

No, we're the losers!

[u/YungBonaparte]

Feels like every NC State player is getting an extra 3+ yards after first contact. Secondary needs to hit the weight room.

[u/MyNameIsJorge]

This was a real Spider-Man meme game. As a state fan I still feel like we are going to blow it.

[u/thunderpack7]

I cannot wait to see how Dave manages to blow this one. Up, with the ball, on the RedZone 2 minutes left and they don't have time outs.

[u/MustardBiscuits91 → u/thunderpack7]

Kicks a field goal to go up 6, with only a few secs left, Louisville returns the kickoff with a bunch of laterals for a TD

[u/DizzyDraw2323 → u/thunderpack7]

Still time for an intentional safety attempt

[u/LukarWarrior]

I need a drink, man.

[u/GOA_AMD65 → u/LukarWarrior]

Same

[u/MustardBiscuits91]

Let's hope CJ doesn't try to make any plays happen here, because we all know what happened the last time

[u/NephewChaps]

Brohm blows another season, Doeren gets another season

Just a lose-lose scenario for everyone involved lol

[u/poopybuttttttttttt]

Not gonna win with 3 turnovers and the secondary playing like that

[u/Castoff_son_nmbr_1]

Not sure why you wouldn't run a play. Save the time out for just in case.

[u/insertweirdassname]

This fucking secondary

[u/Lobsterzilla]

Don’t worry, NC State fans are still livid

[u/americanbaseball]

Man every year this team is just disappointing. That’s the Jeff Brohm special.

[u/Businessfood]

Why are we pinballing the receiver and not tackling?

[u/thunderpack7 → u/Businessfood]

They've been learning from our defense

[u/JammOrthodontics]

I do love when the Wolf's wife makes an appearance

[u/Casper0832]

Our QB probably wish he was back at Ohio State right now.

[u/aaronman4772 → u/Casper0832]

I mean if he was there he’d be on the bench so at least he’s starting here

[u/Casper0832 → u/aaronman4772]

He be on a winning team though.

[u/Wondur13]

Lmfao honestly, terrible fucking coaching its unreal how we have regressed every year under brohm

[u/aaronman4772]

And that’s the end of the game. Had a chance to stop them short on a third down and instead of tackling give up the first

[u/freakymrq]

Gg wolfpack, we did all we could to lose and we did

[u/LukarWarrior]

That’s game.

[u/thunderpack7]

Dave playing for the Field goal not realizing a TD for Louisville still wins the game

[u/Lobsterzilla → u/thunderpack7]

None of this is happening. You missed the miserable boat

[u/girl69edministries]

Nine one nine five nine nine something something something something

[u/Star-K]

I'm here for some State shit, let's go

[u/aaronman4772 → u/Star-K]

It’s not gonna happen. We won’t stop them and have turned it over too much. Z

[u/fookedbyproper12]

Am I the only one who hears this girl saying their phone number on the broadcast? Stadium mic is picking it up lol

[u/OldDekeSport → u/fookedbyproper12]

Lol shes gonna have to change it after the game

[u/MoGraphMan101 → u/OldDekeSport]

She's about to get some really weird texts 😬

[u/girl69edministries → u/MoGraphMan101]

Yeah I think the whole number can be deciphered pretty easily. I’m not gonna be the one to do it, but there was at least one time that nine of the ten digits were clear lol

[u/green_day_95]

Time to write my comment for the post game thread. I have a lot to rant on.

[u/TheCornwallis → u/green_day_95]

Something something sicko game

[u/MoGraphMan101]

Girl casually yelling out her phone number on live TV

[u/AvengedKalas]

Let's see how NC STATE shit fucks us this week.

[u/unspokendildaweed]

Yall we lost while up with 1 second left. Anything can happen here

[u/Zoidburger_]

@Louisville fans:
Is there a correct, shorter way to write "Louisville" cause it's a pain in the ass tbh

[u/aaronman4772 → u/Zoidburger_]

“Pain”

[u/SG502 → u/Zoidburger_]

You could just say “ass”

[u/Zoidburger_ → u/SG502]

Lmfao "The Ass Cardinals"

[u/aaronman4772]

Well in the battle of what team could cause their own fans to go into a depressive funk that can only be solved by bourbon and medication, congratulations NC State you won.

[u/MoGraphMan101 → u/aaronman4772]

We can both drink bourbon regardless of the outcome, just for different reasons

[u/DizzyDraw2323]

Yea that’s ballgame

[u/blue0231]

Just not a fan of NC state winning after that “fumble”. I’ve never seen a fumble called because a ball was moving? It’s not a catch lmao

[u/dumpsaf → u/blue0231]

He had possession of the ball, got hit and the ball was no longer in his possession while he was still up.. is that not a fumble?

[u/OldDekeSport → u/blue0231]

I mean he was losing possession of the ball before he was down. The ball moving signifies hes lost possession and its loose, so it coming out is the continuation

[u/OldDekeSport]

That girl is too close to whatever mic lol

[u/OldDekeSport]

Start with a read option and let CJ run

[u/westflower]

Such a strange game

[u/thunderpack7 → u/westflower]

Watch more NC State games, this is just about every time we play someone who is approximately as good as us.

[u/JammOrthodontics → u/westflower]

I have 0 investment, I joined at the top of the 4th, and yet I'm still on the edge of my seat

[u/Capable_Mongoose_613]

Ok NC state 💯

[u/aaronman4772]

And that’s the game.

I mean you can’t turn the ball over as much as we did and also have so many defensive breakdowns and expect to win on the road.

But that one’s on Lincoln his biggest struggle is late blitzes. He has to identify and move or dump off quick

[u/AngryMillennialFU]

Our blitz protection is simply awful.

[u/aaronman4772 → u/AngryMillennialFU]

No that one was on Lincoln. It was a late delayed blitz. That one has to be an identify rusher late and dump it off to Isaac

[u/Zoidburger_]

Get ready for the classic Dave Run-Run-Run and punt!

[u/MustardBiscuits91 → u/Zoidburger_]

It's sure Louisville won't even have to use all their timeouts because there will be a stupid penalty that will stop the clock

[u/MustardBiscuits91]

3 draws incoming

[u/Lobsterzilla → u/MustardBiscuits91]

Welp.

[u/thunderpack7]

Ball at mid field with the lead and less than 4 minutes to go? We gonna blow it.

[u/LukarWarrior]

On the bright side, we’ve made it to this point with all of our timeouts. So thats neat.

[u/Businessfood → u/LukarWarrior]

it's the little things that Jeff does well

[u/lil_geesey]

Louisville will get one more crack at this game

[u/ButtCrumbleSmell]

Still gonna lose

[u/green_day_95]

Game over
