This week is NC State. And you know what sucks? It's kind of a big game.
After the jump, some motivation, actual stats, and sad news concerning our favorite Replacement OC...

Non-Metallica Pump-Up Song of the Week
"Hey, did you hear that new song by The Offspring?"
"Yeah, I heard it 10 years ago, too."
Yeah, all their songs sound the same, but this one is just too awesome to ignore.

The Bad Guys
Folks, NC State is legit. For those of us without MY20 or whatever the hell the BC game was on, the Georgia Tech – NC State game was the only thing on at noon last Saturday. And the Wolfpack looked pretty damn good.
Obviously, the offense revolves around their quarterback, Russell Wilson. Ol’ Rusty has 11 touchdowns with ONE interception. Holy balls.
He’s fast and he’s accurate. But he seems to get rattled easily. If we give him a few zombie kills early, hopefully he’ll lose his head. You know… like a zombie.
Their defense isn’t half bad either. Yeah, Georgia Tech managed to put up 28 points, but NC State was able to contain their option offense for a good portion of the game. Something that Bud Foster has yet to figure out*.
*It’s really your only fault. WE LOVE YOU BUD!

The Good Guys
It looks like RMFW is out again this week. Not that Voldemort would use him to his potential or anything, but it was nice to think that he could break one off on his own from time to time.
Anyone else get pissed off thinking about how awesome some of these offensive talents are going to be in the NFL? This is a worse misuse of talent than Mars Attacks.
Also… 4 freaking field goals? What does one say after a performance like that? “Just glad we put up more than 16, Frank!”
But no matter. The defense is stout, and if you’re a Hokie fan, you know that’s all we need to stay competitive.
And who appears to be this year’s defensive monster? Well, the NEZ is back Steven Friday. Why? Well, first of all, his last name is “Friday”, which is totally bad-ass.
Also, we’re HUGE Dragnet fans.
Secondly, he had 2 sacks, 3 tackles for loss, and 2 forced fumbles. We normally don’t rattle off stats like that, but in the case, we just want the facts.
So with that, we dub bestow yet another NEZ nickname to a great Hokie. Welcome aboard, Sergeant Friday*.
*We are hoping this is original, but could completely have been done before. Please alert the proper authorities if so.

The Game
Unfortunately, we are meeting the Wolfpack at the most inopportune time. Since beating Georgia Tech last week, NC State and their fans think they are good. Which means the environment will be about 20 times more hostile than when we normally roll in and take Raleigh over.
If the defense can rattle Wilson early, maybe even get them to bring in the back-up What’s-His-Face, we’ll at least have a chance in the end. If our offense happens to muster more than one touchdown and FOUR F*%$ING FIELD GOALS, we’ll run away with it.
But this is a big one, and we need it. A big conference win on the road goes a long way in the ACC… We can’t believe we just wrote that about NC State. What is wrong with college football???

RMFW T-Shirt of the Week
Each week, we’ll post another avid reader wearing their awesome (and very affordable!) RMFW t-shirt. Send in your picture, and you too could be showcased on a mid-level Virginia Tech blog!

Replacement Offensive Coordinator of the Week
In sad news, it was announced that the two vessels will no longer be featured on Deadliest Catch: the Time Bandit and (gasp!) the Northwestern!!
Apparently, the Hillstrands of the TB are being sued by the Discovery Channel, and Sig and the boys are taking their business elsewhere. We really hate when mommy and daddy fight like this.
But, this leaves us with no choice. In what will likely be his last appearance on the NEZ, we ask our captain to lead us into battle one more time...
"I want the touchdown count and I want it NOW!"
LET'S GO HOKIES!!!
