Last night's result incapsulates what the big 3 sports are and have been at NC State for the last 30 years....mediocre and happy to be so. It's a damn shame that leadership at this proud university has been so poor as to not be able to make one single hire in any of these big 3 sports to win even a single conference championship or really even have one of the programs consistently relevant. Every other power 5 school in this country has somehow been able to find a way to hire at least one person in one of the big 3 sports who could actually win a championship at some point during these last 30 years. And not only can't we accomplish that, we compound that ineptitude with some of the most embarrassing losses in aome of the most creative and self inflicted wounds ways imaginable. Speaking specifically about this football team this year, it has to be one of the most under achieving teams ever to lace them up in Raleigh when you consider the talent, experience and depth that returned from last year's team. This was the year that Dave had been pointing to for something big. Well it was big alright, one of the biggest let down seasons in school history with losses to a mediocre Syracuse team and a home loss on Senior night to a flat out bad, one of the worst teams in the ACC bad, BC team. It was an embarrassing loss for the football program and for the athletic department as a whole honestly. I think it's fair to say that no athketic program in the country has done more to "step in it" or "step on it" to their own detriment than NC State. Congratulations Dave Doeren, on yet another underachieving accomplishment during your tenure as Head Coach at NC State. You join a long and distinguished list of coaches to do so in Raleigh.
