^^^^Good ole Victor Stephens. And that is me with the backwards red hat about 3 rows back from the goal post.

"Posted: September 21, 2000 Wolfpack Fans Get Carried Away After Win Over Georgia Tech RALEIGH —An 30-23 overtime win against Georgia Tech sent Wolfpack fans into a frenzy at Carter Finley Stadium Thursday night. Students carried the celebration, along with the goal posts, into the streets. However, the celebration came to a screeching halt when police ordered students to drop the goal post at the intersection of Hillsborough and Beryl Streets. Signs of the celebration could still be seen Friday afternoon after the win. Students were still pumped up over the win. "Tearing down the goal posts. That's been the talk. It's awesome," says student Cam Frazier. State football fans have not seen a 4-0 record since 1994, and many hit the campus bookstore to load up on anything Wolfpack red. Wolfpack pride is also paying off at the box office. Season ticket sales are at a record high. Thursday night's sold-out crowd included Chancellor Marye Anne Fox. She believes new coach Chuck Amato is part of a new era in N.C. State football. "The first game I was here, we won, and I was told by an associate that I should go down and stop them from taking down the goal posts," Fox says. "I couldn't do it then, and I couldn't do it last night. As long as no one gets hurt, we'll cover the expense." Goal posts are not cheap. They cost about $6,000 a piece. They plan to order a new set on Monday and will have them in place in about two weeks. N.C. State's next home game is Oct. 28 against Florida State."

I know after either the GT rush or the FSU rush, the university cut the goal posts up into small sections and sold them. I have tried many times in the last few years to fine someone that has one. Does anyone here have, or know anyone that has a piece of the goal post. Any help would be great.

10/8/2012 9:29:11 PM

Victor Stephens ... that's right. Maybe no-name was overstating it, but I'm pretty sure he wasn't a starter. Maybe at nickelback, but our starters were

CB: Greg Golden
CB: Lamont Reid
SS: Andre Maddox
FS: Terrance Holt

[Edited on October 8, 2012 at 9:46 PM. Reason : Forgot Marcus Hudson ... he played a lot too]

10/8/2012 9:45:13 PM

Haha I know Greg. It made me laugh when I saw his name.

10/8/2012 9:59:07 PM

i got a gumby x-large pizza when i lived in avent ferry and walked by Golden and somebody else and Golden said "ayyo he got a SUPA-large, he got a SUPA-large"

hightlight of my college career, had it printed on my diploma

10/8/2012 10:01:00 PM

HAHAHAHAHAHA. That sounds just like Greg. He was probably high as shit.

"Quote : "With all due respect, no one can "address" the issues of thousands of fans rushing the field. That is why there is a $25,000 fine in the SEC if it happens at any of their stadiums. Neither you nor anyone else can control thousands of people on the football field. I have been part of a field rush when there was a close call. A 14 year old was inadvertently knocked to the ground by the crowd rushing closer to players. She panicked because she could not stand up, as others began to step on her. A football player saw this develop and "parted the seas" of people by covering her body with his until there was a chance to help her up. She could have easily been trampled instead. The safety of our fans will always trump the celebration at CF. Glad you were there to be part of the terrific night. All the best to you. In the spirit of the Pack, Debbie Y." A response from DY to my email about rushing the field at the Carter."

Stop bugging her already

10/8/2012 10:38:55 PM

What do you mean stop bugging her? I sent a polite well written email asking about it. She responded and I then responded thanking her for her time and for the explanation. Calm down.

10/8/2012 10:41:57 PM

Was half joking anyway. Props to DY.

10/8/2012 11:10:09 PM

it was a half hilarious half-joke

(i'm giving you 100% too much credit)

10/8/2012 11:11:22 PM

Thing that gets me is the $25,000 fine to any SEC school who's fans rush the field. That is an interesting bit of information.

10/8/2012 11:12:15 PM

That SEC rule goes for basketball as well. South Carolina rushed the court when the beat Kentucky one year and people ran to the athletic director with dollar bills to help pay for the fine.

10/8/2012 11:25:31 PM

Love Debbie and i understand her hands are tied becasue of lawsuit potential but give me a freaking break.

The dumbest rules in this country are the ones where OMG ONE PERSON OUT OF THE THREE THOUSAND MIGHT GET HURT. Who cares. Get 3,000 people to do anything remotely dangerous and one of them is going to get hurt.

You want to maximize the chance of not getting hurt? Keep your dumbass off the field. Where were the 14 year old girls parents? When i was 14 i might as well have been a girl i was so skinny. you didnt see my ass at Woodstock '94 in the mosh pit even though i wanted to go.

sometimes you do fun things and sometimes there are minor consequences from them. someone broke their leg? OH LORD NO. People break their leg playing intramural softball every year too. Cancel the games, cant have someone getting hurt participating in life.

10/8/2012 11:28:13 PM

ok, face

10/8/2012 11:31:40 PM

A programming update on Jake. He is going to be on ESPNU tonight at midnight.



Getting ready for his national TV debut.

10/8/2012 11:31:43 PM

quality face post, right there

^ more like "getting ready for his final 10 minutes"

10/8/2012 11:32:30 PM

after that game why would we put our "good" o linement back in the game?

10/8/2012 11:48:55 PM

And Glennon is going to be on Unite on ESPNU. Seems like big segment about NCSU.

10/9/2012 12:00:59 AM

Yeah they're opening with the highlights...been talking about the game for 5+ minutes.

who were the starting oline men for the game

10/9/2012 7:26:29 AM

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxHFg44OxtM

Three things I noticed while watching this.

1. Jimbo Fisher had a Roy Williams look on his face. It said, "Our game plan was to come in here and win because we're supposed to...and if my players didn't get the memo I don't know what else I can do as a HC."

2. The frustration in the FSU secondary was hilarious. Sort of like it's just not fair that we catch passes over the middle when they're covering us and trying to stop us.

3. Our ball security was insanely good after the catch. I guess TOB really nailed that point home in practice after the abomination at Miami.

10/9/2012 7:50:16 AM

I have yanked the video. There are audio problems that take away from the original. I'm going to fix it, repost it, and give ncsuftw1 video production credit. Just PM or post your youtube handle for me.

10/9/2012 8:26:10 AM

If you want to replace the shitty music with the Wolfpack radio broadcast call let me know.

10/9/2012 8:34:10 AM

I can do anything really, just request it.

I want to make it into a pump up video and will probably shorten it more.

is that the show with the two d-bags on the couch and the DJ? yeah, they had a pretty long segment on the win, and had a lot of clips from camera phones in the crowd. It was pretty cool. Apparently one of the guys is a seminole fan. I saw that Glennon was coming on later, but I went to bed.

Come on man! Really? If you watched it as long as it sounds I guarantee they said or flashed his name up 3-4 times

10/9/2012 9:34:48 AM

the host? probably so, i wasn't paying attention. Dude was wearing a green shirt that said "In Tebow we Trust". He looked a little like Matthew Lillard.

and he was just inducted into the fsu hall of fame this year.

lol

Also, the last hit on Underwood was legit. It was within reasonable timing of the catch. Brandon Bishop does it all the time. However, the hit to the helmet was not legal.

Also, I still don't get all the talk of FSU having been a national title contender. They have two FCS teams on their schedule. If they had gone undefeated, would they really have gone to the national title game over a 1-loss Oregon, Ohio State, or Florida team?

10/9/2012 12:17:50 PM

^^ haha

10/9/2012 12:44:42 PM

^^lol, really? Even in a hypothetical, i can basically guarantee that an undefeated fsu would not get jumped by uf or osu for the nc game

10/9/2012 12:57:31 PM

How exactly can you guarantee that?
