Anyone catch Amato whining about Akron allowing "non-qualifiers" to play for them? Yeah goat-tits, I'm sure that's why you lost, because Akron has 3 players who don't meet NCState's MIT-like admission standards. :slappy:

Tough week:
North Carolina State coach Chuck Amato has had a really long week. First his team lost at home to Akron 20-17, then he took a shot at the other league's admission policies.
"They are in a conference that allows non-qualifiers in school. Y'all need to look that up," Amato said. "The Boise States, the Fresno States, the Louisvilles before they went to the Big East. They have non-qualifiers. Do you know what kind of players non-qualifiers are? They are inversely proportional to what their grade-point average is."
Well, reporters did look it up. Though the Atlantic Coast Conference does not allow non-qualifiers, the schools Amato singled out aren't much different. According to The (Durham, N.C.) Herald-Sun, Boise State has never had a non-qualifier on scholarship; Louisville has two (though the Big East has changed its rules and will not allow future non-qualifiers); and Fresno State has two non-qualifiers on its roster and hasn't accepted one since 2002. According to the Akron (Ohio) Beacon Journal, the Zips have three.
The week got worse for Amato when a pipe burst Monday in a restroom and caused about $250,000 damage to the N.C. State football offices. If the Wolfpack (1-1) fall Saturday at favored Southern Mississippi (1-1), the long week will seem endless

I have to chuckle when I remember back to our Home an Home with NC St.

Their fans were absolutely convinced they were at the beginning of something special - not the end. Makes it clear how good it is to be a Buckeye. Many of their fans were as avid as we are - but now they have no hope and little future.

The only bright spot is that if you are a Boob-Man when they aren't showing the cheerleaders they might have the camera on Amato.
