Jacoby Brissett is supposed to start this weekend, so along with Mike Glennon, Russell Wilson, and Philip Rivers, NC State will have one eighth of all the starting QB's in the NFL.

Over the 16 years that those four played 12 years at State (Rivers played 4), (Glennon played 3), (Russell played 3) and (Brissett played 2) the results were:

No ACC Title, No ACC Division Title, No Major Bowl. River's best year was 11-3 with a win over ND in the Gator Bowl. Wilson's best year was 9-4 with a win over West Virginia in the Russell Athletic Bowl. Neither Glennon or Brissett won over 8 in a season.

The year after Rivers graduated, NC State then started a defense that eventually produced two first round draft picks. They never had a decent QB and Wilson started the year after they left for the NFL.

Rivers, Rivers, Rivers, Rivers, Dud, Dud, Dud, Wilson, Wilson, Wilson, Glennon, Glennon, Glennon, Dud (not just Dud, not even a P-5 level QB), Brissett, Brissett.

So what are the "lowlights" of those years?

1. After and 8-0 start, go 3-3 down the stretch losing to GT, MD, and Clemson by a total of about 11 points in 2002
2. Losing to Ohio State on a stopped 4th and Goal in 2003
3. Losing the next year to Ohio State on a stopped 4th and Goal in 2004
4. Punting away the ACC Atlantic title to Clemson in 2010
5. Punting away a game to UNC by kicking to Gio Bernard 2013
6. Pissing away a game to VT in 2010 that made the Clemson game of that year crucial
7. Coming out flat for Tennessee in 2012
8. Losing to FSU after leading most of the game 2015 and having nothing at all in the tank the next week at Clemson

Folks will have to excuse me if I have a date or two off, I'm doing this from memory.

That's a total of 6 NFL starting QB's in the last 55 years at NC State (Gabriel in the early 60's and Erik Kramer in the late 80's).

So where was State's defense all those years? Often they were in Chapel Hill waiting for a NFL level quarter back.

That takes us up to this year where we start the first play of the season by giving up a touchdown to South Carolina on the opening kick.

Isn't amazing that so many people keep buying tickets year after year?

So, what will be the NC State Sh*t this year? Having Clemson and or Louisville on the ropes only to lose at the last second? Or will it be a moribund loss to BC or Syracuse on a cold, raw day where State scratches out less than 10 points? Perhaps it will be the winning touchdown against ND called back after a lengthy booth review?

Anyway I was bored so I decided to get this off my chest.
