We already know where the strings come in***--that's the basketball team's jurisdiction. And sure--let me just dust off this watch here--yeah maybe I'm a little early on this. It's not August, I've reminded myself, but is it really too soon to feel too good about you football team?
(***There's an underrated NC State sports anthem for you; see, for example: "but here's where everything comes together / either that or it all falls apart")
No of course it isn't. In fact now is just the time; besides what else are you gonna do, print out the two-deep and punch yourself in the neck as you consider every possible outcome for the offensive and defensive lines?
