Title: Thoughts on NC State
Post by: Rage Against the McKee on December 03, 2023, 04:42:22 PM
I think I would rather play someone from a power conference, but it's also nice for Avery to get a bowl victory in his first start.

I honestly knew nothing about Northern Carolina State so I did some quick research for gE

1. They are located in downtown Rahlee NC which is also the state capitol. Imagine if K-State was located in downtown Topeka? Gross

2. Their stadium is located off campus and is shared with a high school that's next to it (Cardinal Gibbons, also WTF kind of name is that for a HS?!?)

3. Their last conference championship was in 1979 when they went 7-4

4. The nickname "wolfpack" originated from a local militia that hunted down runaway slaves.

Their fans like to go "awooo ooo oo ooooo" whenever they can see the moon. It's funny at first, but the game lasts 3 and a half hours and it gets old and you end up kicking the crap out of the drunk bad person doing it and then running away from the cops, which isn't that hard because the Raleigh cops are not very fit.

Clams I just got off the Zoom meeting with your team and it would appear that - much like BSFS - Camping World Stadium is oriented in a north/south configuration. Now, and here’s where it gets interesting…NCST’s stadium is oriented at like a 45 degree angle or some crap lmao.

I guess what I’m saying is, save the paper and ink you would have needed to publish that hot doss, this tells you everything you need to know right here.

Their stadium also shares parking lots with PNC Arena.

Ngl they are basically the Kazzu Cats of North Carolina. Other state school that has basketball with UNC? Check. The biggest difference is they have rich AF Duke, and weird private Wake Forest to share a state with. Scrappy, and a decent place. Honestly look forward to the game and after Florida State blows up the ACC I welcome them into our conference

Weird pep rally when compared to other bowls.  No AD, no UP, no celebrity speakers.  Had a high school pep rally vibe.  Band plays, Wyatt, CK, players speak, Willie KSU cheer, Alma mater, everyone head to the bars/restaurants.   I suppose the time limit impacted the agenda.

Reminds me, I'm going to buy pop tart tomorrow for the first time in probably 20 years. trying to decide on what flavor.

The last time I ate Pop Tarts was in the spring of 2010. I had missed breakfast and was getting really hungry prior to lunch. I grabbed a pair of frosted strawberry toaster pastries from the vending machines in Justin Hall and began chowing down. I had been trying to eat fairly clean for the past few months so my stomach didn't appreciate the sugar bomb that I hit it with. I flipped the packaging over to read the "nutrition" label and that's when I said... never again.

I am willing to reconsider though if we bring back a trophy that can actually toast.

Weird pep rally when compared to other bowls.  No AD, no UP, no celebrity speakers.  Had a high school pep rally vibe.  Band plays, Wyatt, CK, players speak, Willie KSU cheer, Alma mater, everyone head to the bars/restaurants.   I suppose the time limit impacted the agenda.

I’d like to see him take off a bit sooner when nothing is there. Especially on the blitzes if there is a lane. It doesn’t seem the WRs are getting open. Just take off and see what happens.

Pop Tart got more out of that bowl than any other corporate sponsor, I think. Social media threads were as much about people's opinions of Pop Tarts as the game (I have always found them bland and unsatisfying).

Grabbed a couple pop tarts from the Hampton Inn snack kiosk, digesting them along with what I got to witness this evening.

The most anticipated QB debut since Michael Bishop, the palm tree growing under the stadium, the satellite launch from the cape glowing in the night sky, ending my petsonal bowl drought.

Seriously, Kansas State University should formally approach the Pop Tarts bowl about taking the Cats every year. Our fans would love to go back to Orlando every year right after Christmas. The only school that is going to sell more tickets is UCF. Iowa State would travel as well. None of the other schools would even get close to as many fans as us.

What I find interesting about the Pop Tarts Bowl hype is the same people in charge of the bowl, the publicity, social media, etc. are the same people who have been in charge of the Cheez-It Bowl. Last year's Cheez-It Bowls, there were two of them, had some juice. This year's Cheez-It Bowl has absolutely zero juice. No one seems to be the least bit excited for Iowa vs. Tennessee.

Yeah, the Cheez-It Bowl and the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl. They provided the exact same perks to the players too and had the same marketing initiatives. They obviously had a hard time distinguishing both so Kellanova just changed the first game to poop tarts instead of Cheez-It.


you’re sure it was the same marketing agency?  i know it is the same organizing company

I read that Kellanova used their internal marketing for both, could be wrong but that's what I saw. It seems if they did, they spent like 20x more and had the far more creative people on the Pop Tarts team.

i wonder then if it was pop tarts who gave the agency more latitude with their creativity versus the cheez-it corporate bros.

or maybe they just decided to try something new, these people aren’t robots
