tonight on WPTF and tomorrow morning on 850 The Buzz.

NC State loses 20-17....to AKRON?  AT HOME?????

And straight up:  he'll deserve every single bit of it.  NC State was talking about having a chance to get a ACC title game berth.  Now they'll be happy if they can salvage a bowl game from this season.

NC State's defense was absolutely pathetic, especially on that winning Akron drive, which saw them put it in the endzone on the last play of the game.  They should have simply stepped aside and let them score; at least they would have had a chance for a last drive, rather than Akron sucking up the rest of the clock. 

And what in the HELL was State thinking when they called an option on 4th and 1 inside the 5???  They were in the lead by a field goal at that time....why didn't they kick the field goal?  Or at the very least, if you're going to go for it, punch it up the middle??  There's no excuse for that play AT ALL.  You're in a tight game in the 4th quarter, you take the points.

I agreed with the Buzz guys a few weeks ago that the catcalls from the peanut gallery that Amato should go were premature, and he's doing a relatively decent job at State.  However, this loss to Akron will make even more noise, and if Amato is run out of Raleigh as unceremoniously as Herb Sendek was in backetball, people will point to today's loss, and how terrible every fascet of the game was; offense, defense, and coaching.

But as a Carolina fan, and despite seeing my Tarheels get smoked by Va Tech today, I revel in it.
