It's been a long time, but NC State and Mississippi State are familiar with each other. The history between the two football programs extends back more than 80 years, and includes shared land-grant monikers like "Aggies," plus the "A&M" phase. We are more alike than you could imagine. The football games have been pretty good, too.
The Bulldogs and Wolfpack have met five times, with the Pack holding a 3-2 edge. It's been two decades since the most recent meeting, and prior to that, the teams hadn't met since the 1963 Liberty Bowl. Here's something I didn't realize: the Liberty Bowl used to be played in Philadelphia.
