i read an article yesterday saying that nc state football season tickets sold out for the 9th season in a row. i, of course, am one of those proud season ticket holders. the article went on to say that "wolfpack nation", nc state's fan base, is one of the most hopeful fan bases out there. when it comes down to it, we often have no real logic in being so hopeful. any reason to believe that our team will come out the first game to begin what will be some miraculous 12-0 season is sketchy at best.
still, we arrive. we arrive 5 hours before kick off to cook a pig. we arrive ready to scream our heads off at the refs who never know a darn thing about football. we arrive to cheer on our pack, rain or shine, win or lose.
last night, we started off our season with a 3-7 loss to USC. the game was mediocre (okay, really it was frustrating as all get out) but that stadium was filled to the brim with hopeful fans ready to see our wolfpack the season through, singing our fight song on repeat and waving our foam fingers like there's no tomorrow.
love is in the air. it's nc state football season and i couldn't be happier.
