We heard that from Marshall fans just a month ago.

Question was posed to our AD at a recent DC Pirate Club event. We aren't Marshall.

Like we're a State or UNC? You mean the two teams we have sodomized in our past four games, including laying 70 on UNC last year, taking over NCSU's stadium, and averaging similar attendance.

Of course you've been better than them as of late, but we both know perception is everything. They'll always be bigger names in the state and across the country. You should know what I'm talking about, they big timed you guys for years until you went to state legislature.

The pirate nation is a very delusional bunch but regardless of if we get a true home and home with them I have no doubts we will take a game if not both. Their crutch is beating UNC and VT and NCSU but they don't look at he fact that each of those programs had historically down years for their programs in those years. Their inferiority complex is somewhat understandable though. The sad part about their angriness is the deed is already done their just finalizing dates at this point

You mean the UNC and Va Tech teams were historically down yet still went to bowl games last year? And that NC State team we beat that had Russell Wilson was historically down?

They were 7-6 and 6-7 champ, so yes I'd say so. State wasn't anything special at that point in time either. Valiant effort though

You said historically bad, so I'd say no. Each has been much worse. And NC State finished 2010 (the season I mentioned) ranked. So, nice try to you champ.
