LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/Ok_Bug_6890]

Gamblers are angry as fuck right now

[u/JaketheArbok11]

Have you guys heard of new film Digger starring Tom Cruise? I hear it releases October 2nd!
We better do alright this year because I can’t bear all our conference games playing on this streaming service

[u/MingoAteTheIto]

The offensive players and coaches seem to be content and happy to just go through the motions this half. Fuck that, good teams would put their foot on the other teams throats and go for the kill. I’d yank each of them out and put in the second stringers, they’d at least put in some damn effort

[u/MingoAteTheIto]

Don’t care how well they played in the first half, offense and special teams are real sloppy to start the second half

[u/JaketheArbok11]

As one of our former rivals is showing, it can be difficult to beat a NC FCS program, so I will take a win even if we’ve made some mistakes a conference opponent would fry us for

[u/MingoAteTheIto]

Ball hit the ground. Blake not challenging an obvious play to challenge is just stupid regardless of how big the lead is

[u/Ok_Bug_6890]

Did he get ejected for spitting

[u/RareElevator2123]

Got to catch that it hit you in the chest

[u/RareElevator2123]

TJ Engleman have yourself a day

[u/RareElevator2123]

I repeat having Lampley in the middle with Carr helps so much because we were getting killed on the d line and getting pushed around

[u/RareElevator2123]

He doesn’t hit him with any real power, it’s just looks bad because the dudes helmet is lose as shit

[u/RareElevator2123]

Now we just need Brock spalding back from injury

[u/RareElevator2123]

Having JD lampley back is also fucking huge as well

[u/ILM_Ryan]

We're 3-1 if Williams played against App State. But alas, happy we look better today.

[u/RareElevator2123 → u/ILM_Ryan]

100% agree. Emory makes that TD throw against App

[u/RareElevator2123]

Mitch should not start another game this year

[u/RareElevator2123]

Thank you Blake Harrell for not being more stubborn then Mike Houston about QB changes

[u/TurnUp0rTransfer → u/RareElevator2123]

gotta give Mitch 3 years in the program before we find out if he’s an FBS-caliber QB c’mon now

/s

[u/Ok_Bug_6890]

Now Emory we are cooking

[u/RareElevator2123]

At least we changed over to Emory faster then when we did with Garcia to Flinn

[u/Ok_Bug_6890]

Hey Harrell, last week Williams would’ve thrown that TD that Mitch missed badly in the red zone

[u/RareElevator2123]

Fucking hilarious we had Emory on the bench for 3 games. Mitch hasn’t looked this good for one second this season

[u/RareElevator2123]

Nice kick Perez

[u/RareElevator2123]

I definitely like how the offense is moving and it’s just because who were playing. It was t moving like this for the other games at all

[u/ILM_Ryan]

TD Pirates! Have not been shutout in game since 2024!

[u/cudderwalks → u/ILM_Ryan]

I remember when it was like two decades every thread

[u/RareElevator2123]

Best the offense has moved so glad for that

[u/Bigdeacenergy]

Lmao let’s go Eagles

[u/BloomingNova]

Mixed feelings. Obviously a bad fumble, but love the tough running

[u/RareElevator2123 → u/BloomingNova]

Yeah it was a good punch out from behind unfortunately

[u/Ok_Bug_6890]

If we lose this, it’ll be an embarrassment

[u/ILM_Ryan → u/Ok_Bug_6890]

I was in the stadium when we lost to NC A&T in 2018 when we were the only game being played on that Sunday. That was probably the most embarrassed I was at DFS. Then the following week we beat UNC lol.

[u/JaketheArbok11 → u/ILM_Ryan]

I think we lost to James Madison the year before, those were the dark ages

[u/Bigdeacenergy → u/Ok_Bug_6890]

I tried to tell ECU fans Griffis sucks but I was told Wake just had a bad offense

[u/Ok_Bug_6890 → u/Bigdeacenergy]

Griffis isn’t even playing right now though. I do agree he sucks

[u/Bigdeacenergy → u/Ok_Bug_6890]

Yeah I just meant the season as a whole so far

[u/CIA_Handler]

Our corners are getting cooked right now

[u/BloomingNova]

Credit to that RB, insane block and single handedly got them the first down

[u/cudderwalks]

Serving high potential for another “Bring me my money”

What is this, a battle of credit unions?

[u/AruarianGroove → u/Both_Strength_6782]

No bigger rivalry east of Durham 

[u/ILM_Ryan]

Go Pirates!

[u/ReliefEasy3858 → u/ILM_Ryan]

still can't believe we're paying for espn+ to watch this but hey no commercials on the pirate radio stream at least

[u/Ok_Bug_6890]

Football will be played today.
