Last night we endured probably the most disappointing half of the season—NC State got whipped, 31-0, by Texas A&M over the final two quarters. That turned what had been a pretty good game into a laugher. It sucked. I was not a fan of it, to be honest. Didn’t love the whole gettin’ blown out thing. Not my favorite.
But there’s no dark cloud that comes with that sort of loss in an exhibition game, especially not this time. It’s disappointing when your team can’t come up with answers and gets blown out. It’s frustrating. But it’s not a defining moment for the program, not even close.
