As I write this ... [glances at watch] ... it is still August and NC State has not played a football game yet. It’s almost game week, but we’re not there yet. So close, though, so close. This is easily one of the most exciting times of the sports season, fueled entirely by anticipation.
Let that anticipation win, and don’t think about it. I’m not trying to be out here sounding like a low-rent motivational speaker. (With that said, I can be the keynote at your corporation’s next event for a very small fee.) I’m just sayin’, y’know, don’t worry about the details; this is no time for a rational take on NC State sports!
