Romney Obama calls for ‘four more years’ Ann reaches out to women

Mark Herring Editor-in-Chief

Jake Dowling Ending three nights of the Democratic National Convention, President Barack Obama accepted his nomination for re-election Thursday night, calling on the common thread during this convention: “We’re in this together.” Following Vice President Joe Biden’s speech nearly stif led by tears, Obama entered the stage of the Time Warner Cable Arena, inciting the audience that chanted “Four more years.” The president reiterated the policies his party had outlined during the three days of the convention in Charlotte, N.C. “We don’t want handouts for those who refuse to help themselves, and we certainly don’t want bailouts for banks that break the rules,” Obama said. Biden said in his speech that four years isn’t enough for Obama to rectify the “mess” he inherited, and said the moment Obama enter the Oval Office, he had to restore confidence in the nation. Obama repeated this idea, saying Americans didn’t elect him to hear good news, but to entrust him with the hard decisions he had to face. “You elected me to tell you the truth,” Obama said. “The truth is it will take a few years to solve the challenges that have built up over decades.” As the president made jabs at the Republican platform from the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., he referred to his opponent, Mitt Romney, not by name, but as “one business leader,” or “one governor.”

A man cheers for President Barack Obama during his speech at the Democratic National Convention, Thursday.

Obama said Republicans misunderstood his party’s policies, saying that Democrats don’t support free handouts and endless spending. “I’ve cut taxes for those who need it, but I don’t believe in another round of tax cuts for millionaires… will grow our economy,” Obama said. “Rolling back regulations on Wall Street won’t help the small businesswoman expand. We’re not moving back, we’re moving forward, America.” Obama noted ending the war in Iraq and his plans to leave Afghanistan in 2014. The president, referring to himself at the commander in chief, said he will invest the money saved from ending the war to boost the economy. “I will use the money we will no longer spend on war to repay our

debt,” Obama said. “It’s time to do some nation building right here at home.” The crowd interrupted the president’s speech multiple times with applause and cheering. After the event Minnesota resident Jeremy Holmquist, 26, said he was convinced. “The speech was compelling and well worded,” Holmquist said. “I’m more of a libertarian, but I was pretty swayed.” Julia Massman, 72, of Charlotte said the speech reaffirmed her beliefs and alleviated her political reservations. “There were no questions—it’s a very clear choice. Romney is like a hologram—we see through him and he doesn’t make any real decisions,” Massman said. “He has experience,

but it’s not the right experience. Obama has the compassion and feeling we saw in him as a young senator.” Though the president said he promises better days are to come, he warned that the path won’t be easy. “[My campaign is] not blind optimism, not wishful thinking, but hope in the face of uncertainty… even when the road is long,” Obama said.

Democrats appeal to the critical Latino vote Jessie Halpern News Editor

The Obama campaign is targeting every voter demographic in 2012, but according to Astrid Chirinos, an N.C. State alum and director of Charlotte’s Latin American Chamber of Commerce, the President can count on the Hispanic vote. “The Latina community is a critical vote for either party,” Chirinos said. “There’s been more support for the Democrats, though.” Chirinos, who earned a design degree from N.C. State in 1984, said her training at the University taught her to look at things and “connect the dots.” In the past 28 years, Chirinos has worked for small, large, and

mid-sized companies, in addition to being an entrepreneur and small business owner. “N.C. State provided me with a great legacy that I’ll never forget,” Chirinos said. Chirinos said that legacy was part of what gave her the ability to speak to the Latina vote. “Latinos are the fastest-growing demographic in the country,” Chirinos said. “We know education is critical, and we need the infrastructure to support that.” Chirinos said President Obama has provided support to help build children’s futures, and it’s something she said she has yet to see from the Republican campaign. “The Latina community is aligned

with the core values of the Obama administration across the board,” Chirinos said. According to Chirinos, the country needs to be aware that the future is multicultural, and she’s not the only one who thinks so. Rep. Luis Gutierrez of Illinois addressed the Democratic National Convention Wednesday evening about Obama’s work with immigration reform. “On June 15, President Obama… took steps to lift the shadow of deportation from deserving young people,” Gutierrez said. “They are students and volunteers and leaders. Many want to join the armed forces.” Gutierrez said these immigrants

are Americans in every way — except on paper. Both he and Chirinos agreed that the nation’s current immigration system is “broken,” but both have faith that Obama can fix it. “The President needs to be aggressive,” Chirinos said. “It’s difficult to talk about a system that’s broken.” Chirinos said the President needs to “revamp” the immigration system, even if it means making a completely new model. “What we do now is just going to be a band aid, but he’s working hard,” Chirinos said.

LGBT brings campus to DNC Jessie Halpern News Editor

Visitors and speakers hailed from N.C. State and Capitol Hill for another LGBT Caucus Thursday afternoon. Jim Messina, manager of the Obama campaign, was the first to take the podium at the caucus. His words of encouragement and tone of urgency set the standard for the remaining speakers. “We have a president who believes in equality, justice, fairness--he stands on the right side of history, unlike his opponent, and he keeps his promises,” Messina said. “It is

incredibly important that Barack Obama be re-elected President of the United States.” Messina worked closely with President Obama for more than one year to repeal our nation’s former military policy Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, and said the president’s commitment to that effort is only the tip of the iceberg. “I can’t think of a political leader I’d want to work for more in the world,” Messina said. “This election is going to be close, don’t let anyone tell you anything else. Together we have to do everything in our power to re-elect Barack Obama.” Messina was not the only speaker

who made Obama’s re-election a pressing matter. Second Lady Jill Biden also took the podium with a focus on timeliness. “So much is at stake in this election, especially for the LGBT community,” Biden said. “We have to make sure we move forward on gay rights so we can continue the progress we’ve made.” Biden referenced the signing of the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act, which extended the definition of hate crimes to include those committed based on one’s gender or sexuality under the Obama-Biden administration. “We can’t win without you,” Biden

said. While most of the afternoon’s speakers focused on LGBT issues, Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis delivered an economic and personal endorsement of the president. “In 29 months, we got 4.5 million private sector jobs across the board,” Solis said. “Do we need to do more? Yes, and we know it’s going to take a lot of work.” Solis also spoke of her personal work relationship with the president. “This president cares very much

Little American f lags were waving as a crowd of young women at the University of Findlay chanted ‘O-HI-O’ as Ann Romney made a campaign appearance on behalf of her husband, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. “We’ve heard about how many women are struggling in this economy right now, more than the men are,” Mrs. Romney said. “Women have to ask themselves who’s going to be there for you. You heard about how hard this economy is on women. Women have been hit the hardest in this economy, and guess who else, kids coming out of college.” Romney is campaigning in Ohio, a battleground state, to appeal to many young voters who voted for President Barack Obama in 2008. She said young adults graduating from college and entering an uncertain workforce must reconsider their reservations. “For all those kids who voted for [President Barack] Obama and are now unemployed, I’m saying this, wake up. It’s time to fire the coach,” Romney said. Though the event attracted a large female crowd, men attended the speech in pride. “We came to support our wives, but I wanted to go and listen to [Romney] in an actual situation to find out if she is really committed to what’s in front of them,” Patrick Winston, a retired business owner from Port Clinton, Ohio, said. “Are we, as Americans, prepared to give Alaska back to the Russians or China, or Hawaii back to someone to pay off our debt? Our young people better think that way because that could happen if that is the only way to pay off our debt,” Winston said. To Winston, Romney passed the commitment test, but he said the GOP should focus on something else that was only lightly touched on during Romney’s speech—the national debt. The national debt affects future generations, Elaine Winston said. “They tell us what they plan to do, but they need to show us,” Winston said. “We are worried about our kids and grandkids.” In its campaign, the GOP has been pushing one of Ronald Reagan’s most famous quotes during his bid in the 1980 election against Jimmy Carter: “Are you better off now than you were four years ago?” Winston said Americans should stay focused on the present rather than the past. “I think they should focus on the debt and not on the four years later question,” Winston said. “Asking people if they are better off now than they were four years ago is not as hard hitting.” Teresa Richardson of Erie Michigan called Mrs. Romney a remarkable lady of integrity. “She didn’t point fingers or make excuses, she merely stated that Mitt will deliver the fix we need,” Richardson said.

about us, and that’s why I enjoy serving with him every day,” Solis said. “This is ours, and we are not going to give it up. Our seat where the president sits is occupied.” Mayor of Newark, N.J. Cory Booker, also gave Barack Obama an emphatic endorsement. “Hatred is hatred, bigotry is bigotry,” Booker said. “We need to wake up America to understand that equality is equality, and every person that says ‘I’m a citizen of the United States of America’ should have equal citizenship rights.” Booker ignited the crowd with a passionate delivery and a personal touch. “My parents always told me, ‘Boy, don’t you ever walk around here like you hit a triple, you were born of third base,’” Booker said. “There’s some people running for high office in this land that don’t seem to remember that.” Booker referenced the civil rights movement and said that people once fought for the rights of Republicans too. “The cause of justice is still urgent, the dream of America is not yet realized, and there’s still work to do,” Booker said. Jake Gellar-Goad agreed that justice is an urgent cause and represented North Carolina as a delegate at the DNC. Gellar-Goad met his husband Ted when the two attended N.C. State and graduated together in 2006. After receiving his Bachelor’s in philosophy, Gellar-Goad returned to the University for

his Master’s in public administration. “There’s been a lot of excitement already, because earlier in the week, we passed the marriage equality platform in the official national Democratic Party platform,” Gellar-Goad said. In terms of GellarGoad’s role as a delegate, he’s made sure to have a clear voice representing both his state, and the LGBT community. “I got to officially vote in this platform, I’ve nominated the president who supports LGBT equality and I’ve spoken at a N.C. LGBT press conference earlier in the day, so I’ve had a voice both physically and verbally,” Gellar-Goad said. Gellar-Goad was elected as a North Carolina delegate at the state Democratic convention, but attributes that accomplishment and others to the education he received from N.C. State University. “I would not be here today if I had not gone to N.C. State out of high school,” Gel lar-Goad said. “I owe N.C. State so much.” Gellar-Goad also gave a nod to Justine Hollingshead, director of the GLBT Center on campus. “The LGBT community at N.C. State is so wonderful, Justine is just amazing,” Gellar-Goad said. “It’s just a really empowering university that’s helped me come this far.”

dressed the DNC Wednesday evening to endorse Barack Obama as a member of the Latina community. “His education policies mean Hispanics will receive an estimated 150,000 more college scholarships,” Saralegui said. “He is on our side. And he knows we still have work to do.” Saralegui spoke of Obama’s plans to pass comprehensive immigration reform that includes a “path to citizenship” and said the difference between the Romney and Obama campaigns could be found in their terminology. “Governor Romney calls [them] ‘illegal aliens.’ President Obama calls them ‘dreamers,’” Saralegui said. Pedro Pierluisi, chair of National Community Mobilization for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, also spoke Wednesday evening and echoed the message of his Hispanic peers. “There are 50 million Hispanics living in the United States,” Pierluisi said. “And today, we have a President who’s made sure we have a seat at the table.” Chirinos said the demographics don’t lie, and Obama seems to understand that. “Immigrants made this countr y a superpower,” Chirinos said. “A relationship with Latin America is critical for the growth of the United States.”

{ LETTER FROM THE EDITOR } Right place at the right time

here’s something to be said about being at the right place at the right time. This afternoon, something clicked when I stopped b y Ta l ley Student Center, for w h at I thought Mark wa s on ly Herring going to be Editor-in-Chief lunch with a friend. As I started for the door of the building, a student staffer

the outage to the construction and so forth—and Tim politely set me straight. “What’s happened today has nothing to do with construction at all,” he said. The power outage did not inconvenience my day, but I can only imagine how much of a pain it is for the facilities workers if things like this happen as frequently

as Hogan recalled. “Every few months for the last year there has been something that’s happened…” Hogan s a id, i nterrupted by beep ing cars in traf f ic at the threeway intersection in front of Talley. Hogan shook his head, shrugged and said, “It’s one of those issues that leads us

to wanting to build a better student center.” A truck was backing up into the loading dock area between Talley and Reynolds Coliseum, blocking traffic along Cates Avenue and Morril Drive. “The way this whole thing is set up is way outdated,” Hogan said. “We trucks have to back into their spot, every day like that. It shuts down the entire intersection. When we [build] the new dock, it will be on the other side of Price Music Center and won’t cause this backup.”

Though the University didn’t gain the majority of the students needed for the Rally 4 Talley petition, it passed anyway, and for good reason. We no longer need a decrepit and outdated student center that’s been over capacity for far too long. Though I won’t be here on campus to take full advantage of it as an undergraduate, I hope Talley will be worth it for future students. The new Talley will better accommodate the growing student body. We’re building the right place at the right time.

{ LANA’S VIEW } Mum’s the word

know this is the week to focus on the Democrats and the Democratic National Convention, but let’s not forget to salute an important person in the Lana Chiad Mitt Romney campaign who Guest Columnist spoke at the Republican National Convention last week: the beloved wife and mother, Ann Romney. Though right-wingers celebrated her speech about her lovey-dovey romance with Mitt, I think there was a far more important fact from her speech that was overlooked, primarily in respect to women who don’t fall into the categories of wife and mother. The 22 minutes of Ann’s airtime felt more like an acceptance speech for Miss America than speech from a woman who might be America’s next First Lady. Though she began her speech with a salute to women with a grand, Oprah-like wail, “I love you women!” What she meant to say was that she salutes the

from Talley said the building was shut down for a few more hours, due to a power outage. At first, I assumed it was the construction that caused the problem, but being at the right place at the right time, I bumped into Tim Hogan, the operations director of University Student Centers. According to Hogan, the power transformer on the fourth floor failed, and facilities workers resolved the issue to get the student center back up and running by 2:30 p.m. As a nosey reporter, I started firing questions—linking

IN YOUR WORDS

women out there who didn’t terminate their pregnancy despite how potentially inconvenient it could have been to struggling women who may or may not have had the financial stability to raise a kid in this failing economy. Don’t get me wrong—any woman who chooses to keep a fetus regardless of whether she planned to get pregnant or not is certainly a hardworking soldier. The fact of the matter is Ann Romney is standing by the Republican platform to eliminate all Planned Parenthood clinics in America, despite the fact they do more than terminate pregnancies—such as dispensing birth control, checking sexual and general health for both men and women, and counseling/support for the LGBT community—and to make abortions completely illegal at any stage of pregnancy, regardless of reason. Even as I listened to all 22 minutes of her speech, there wasn’t a single reference to the single, working women

out there who don’t actually want to get married, let alone want children any time soon. Ann Romney simply and quite roughly transitions into the story of her perfect marriage with the perfect man, Mitt Romney. As an advocate for women’s rights and the freedom for any woman to choose what to do with her own body, I found Ann Romney’s speech to be far too hypocritical. If you are trying to salute the woman population, talk to all of us, because believe me, after many Republicansponsored bills were passed in the Senate, restricting us from doing what we please with our own bodies—including the passed Georgian Senate bill that compared women to livestock—we women are watching. It doesn’t matter if you’re pro-choice or pro-life. What matters is the freedom to choose, and isn’t that what this country is all about?

“No, because [intelligence] isn’t about how well you take a test. Regurgitating information is not intelligence.”

“No, I don’t think so, because I think potential is measured by situation.”

{ HEATHER’S VIEW}

Who cares about the environment?

would like to begin by clearly stating that I have no intention of persuading you. In fact, my goal is to remain entirely neutral and only supply facts. As for Heather those facts, Troutman Staff Columnist t he y have all been located on various online articles and blogs. I am not standing behind my statements irrefutably. However, as a scholar I can ensure you that my research was performed with scrutiny and should be considered reliable. In the spirit of the ensuing presidential campaigns, I have categorized various issues as they relate to sustainability and the environment,

summarizing the two primary candidates’ and the Green (party) candidate’s published opinions and their political records. I will begin with the views and actions of our current president as a means of systematics. However, this should not be mistaken as my personal support. Current environmental issues of national concern include energy, greenhouse gas emissions, climate change and foreign oil. Our president set a goal of 25 percent renewable energy by 2025, currently at eight percent. Nuclear and clean coal (ridiculous concept) would also be implemented to reduce GHG emissions.

President Obama acknowledges that nuclear is unsafe and clean coal is not a longrun solution, but the two should be added to our current energy-mix to facilitate his proposed standard of eighty percent GHG emissions reduction by 2050. President Obama strongly opposes the use of Yucca Mountain as a storage site and encourages more research in nuclear waste disposal. The president intends to do this by funding $150 billion over the next 10 years to the development of green energy and transferring current oil subsidies to clean energy. Mitt Romney acknowl-

edges that climate change is occurring with some human contribution. Romney’s tactical plan for reducing GHG emissions is increased domestic natural gas production, nuclear and liquefied coal. He has proposed the construction of 43 new nuclear plants by 2030, with Yucca Mountain in effect as the waste depository (Yucca Mountain will be discussed in depth next Thursday). Romney has also proposed a clean energy research package. However, the amount is notably less at $20 billion. Romney is on the books supporting the rights of states to set local emissions standards exceeding national

standards. He considers air quality a pressing matter and believes that cross-border pollution should be controlled. Mitt Romney is not in favor of Obama’s Green Job Program and proposed an American Competitiveness Program in its place. Jill Stein is the Green Party’s candidate, expected to earn two percent of the U.S. vote. I have decided to include Mrs. Stein in this discussion as her opinions are very progressive (often considered radical) and should be considered for the sake of broadening the perspective of feasible policy changes. Jill Stein is a staunch opponent of natural gas and nucle-

She has proposed a national ban on fracking and believes that each state should reserve the right to prevent the construction of nuclear power plants and implement higher emissions restrictions than the national standard. Mrs. Stein advocates the immediate abolishment of foreign oil trade and desires to see the end of domestic oil production as well. She believes that over 80 percent of domestic energy consumption could be renewable by 2050, and GHG emissions could be eliminated with effective public transit systems, including amplified walkways and bicycle accommodations.

Bringing BooBoo back to the Pack Young Lee Associate Features Editor

Charlie O’Neill, a housekeeper at Syme Hall, said he was used to bringing two lunchboxes to work for the past four years. In one lunchbox, O’Neill would carry his lunch, in the other, he would carry a meal for a four-legged friend that used to wait for him every day by the Honors Village to see him drive into work. Charlie O’Neill’s friend, a stray dog he named BooBoo because of a cut it had on its paw when the two first met, no longer greets Charlie O’Neill as he checks in for work. And although many residents of Syme Hall never had a relationship with BooBoo quite like Charlie O’Neill, they remember being cheered to see the pensive dog watching from the railroad tracks it made its home. BooBoo has moved away from the railroad tracks. It has a family now. Although many members of the Wolfpack family miss the shy dog that lived along the railroad tracks, Charlie O’Neill said BooBoo is safe and happy. However, this was not always the case. Charlie O’Neill

said there were many days this past summer when he and his family were scared and worried about BooBoo’s well-being—a time in which BooBoo was taken from its home and moved to a shelter. Accord i ng to Cha rl ie O’Neill, a group of softball campers complained about a dog that tried to bite them. O’Neill said he couldn’t believe BooBoo would harm anyone, but on the afternoon of June 12, when he left Syme Hall to pick up chemicals from Becton Hall he saw officers he didn’t recognize waiting for him with questions. “One officer asked, ‘You’re the guy with the dog?’ and I said, ‘No, I work here. The dog lives here,’” Charlie O’Neill said. “[The officer said], ‘But you’re the only one the dog goes with?’ and I said, ‘Yeah, what’s the problem?’” The officer told Charlie O’Neill they received a notice from a University service desk that someone said they were almost bitten by a dog. “’Well, that’s wrong,” Charlie O’Neill said. “Even when the police officer tried to walk up to her, she walked away.” Charlie O’Neill said although he didn’t want to, the police officers insisted he stay

BooBoo out of a lunch box like her father, Megan O’Neill said she was no less distraught to hear BooBoo was taken away. Megan O’Neill said she searched Wake County Animal shelter’s website every day to look for updates about the beloved dog. Within three days of BooBoo’s relocation from the railroad tracks, she found a new dog profile on the website, she said. However, some of the information on the profile didn’t reflect the dog she had come to know. “When I first got on there, they had changed her name to WolfpackGirl,” Megan O’Neill said. “It said her average age was three and I said, ‘that’s not right.’ And they said her color and I said, ‘Okay, that’s right.’ So I figured, ‘Okay, I guess that’s what they’re trying to call her now.” Despite the information that Megan O’Neill found perplexing, the profile was accompanied by photos of a dog she immediately recognized. “They had the pictures up there and she looked petrified,” Megan O’Neill said. “She was still on the little leash that they had put on her but she was just huddled up against the cages looking so scared.” Shortly after BooBoo arrived at the shelter, it got sick. “The first week she got there she got kennel cough,” Megan O’Neill said. “When dogs get sick or aggressive, there’s a possibility the shelter may euthanize them.” Megan O’Neill said she knew she had to help BooBoo

as quickly as she could— so she created a Facebook page. “I set up the Facebook page as soon as possible,” Megan O’Neill said. “I wrote her bio down and I put pictures up and tried to make sure everything was there just to say, ‘Hey people, this dog is really good and she needs a good home.’” The following day, Charlie O’Neill said he was armed with a stack of flyers Megan O’Neill created and no less than six rolls of tape. Charlie O’Neill said he posted flyers everywhere he could. The “Help WolfpackGirl get adopted” page became a community where followers shared their own stories of interacting with the dog. With the story considered unique by many, according to Charlie O’Neill, several television news channels shared the story as far as Asheville, N.C. According to Amanda Walrad, a community relations manager at the Wake County Animal Shelter, although she never met BooBoo, many of her co-workers liked BooBoo and hearing about the community that cared about it. “She was a little shy or

timid at first but I know that she was pretty popular here just based on her story from having been cared for by the community there,” Walrad said. “She was a media dog.” Within four weeks and after many shares on Facebook, and many flyers, people began to ask about adopting BooBoo. However, many families were hesitant due to BooBoo’s notoriously hesitant nature. After several other families came in to see BooBoo, Peggy and Jackie Price adopted BooBoo Aug. 13. “We lost one of our dogs about two or three months ago,” Peggy Price, an administrative assistant at the N.C State Diagnostic Teaching Clinic, said. “I just saw the ad and thought, ‘Well, I’ll look at it.’” Peggy and Jackie Price came to love BooBoo and, according to Megan O’Neill, BooBoo was noticeably calmer with the couple in comparison to previous candidates. “It’s just nice BooBoo is staying within the N.C. State family.” Charlie O’Neill said.

Pack looks to rebound in East Hartford Andrew Schuett & Robert McLamb

Staff Writer & Correspondent

N.C. State will attempt to even its record Saturday when the Wolfpack travels to East Hartford, Conn., to face Big East foe Connecticut at noon. The Pack (0-1) has not started a season 0-2 since Head Coach Tom O’Brien’s first season at State in 2007. The Wolfpack is coming off a disconcerting, 35-21, loss to Tennessee in Atlanta last Friday in the Chick-Fil-A College Kickoff. Connecticut is coming off a 5-7 season in Head Coach Paul Pasquiloni’s second year in charge. UConn shut out regional rival UMass, 37-0, in the team’s season opener. The Huskies are only two years removed from a league title and a BCS Bowl appearance. “This is as sound of as an offense and a defense as we’ll play this year,” O’Brien said. “I have great respect for the coaching staff there. I know that they’ve got a lot of guys who’ve played in the BCS Championship game, so they’ve got some experience, and they’re not going to be intimidated by North Carolina State coming up to Hartford, Connecticut.” The Wolfpack secondary, the subject of much preseason hype, was surgically picked apart by Tennessee – a team coming off a losing season of its own and missing its best wide receiver due to suspension. N.C. State has its own issues to deal with. At Monday’s press conference, O’Brien announced that graduate student cornerback C.J. Wilson was suspended for the first four games of the year by the NCAA, with one game served already. The suspension came after Wilson failed to pass six hours in the spring. “He thought he could get by, he put himself in a hole, had some family issues and thought he could save himself, and he

ACC ROUNDUP COMPILED BY SEAN FAIRHOLM

ATLANTIC DIVISION Boston College (0-1, 0-1 ACC) “Lights” by Ellie Goulding

“I had a way then losing it all on my own/I had a heart then but the queen has been overthrown/And I’m not sleeping now the dark is too hard to beat.” This is not your crazy uncle’s Boston College team (441 passing yards against Miami), but the Eagles are going to have issues saving their coach’s job after dropping a winnable home opener. #12 Clemson (1-0, 0-0 ACC) - “Feel So Close to You” by Calvin Harris

Redshirt junior Quintin Payton cuts away from a Tennessee defenseman for a 49-yard completed pass from Mike Glennon. Payton had 129 receiving yards in the Wolfpack’s 35-21 loss to the Tennessee Volunteers at the Chickfil-A Kickoff Game in Atlanta, GA Friday, Aug. 31.

didn’t, so he didn’t meet the six hours passed [rule],” O’Brien said. “Because of the fact he was a graduate and had extenuating circumstances during the semester, and he came back and demonstrated to [the NCAA] that he would be serious going forward by passing 12 hours in summer school with a 3.4 [GPA], they gave him a four-game suspension.” Graduate student quarterback Mike Glennon will look to shrug off last week’s performance and rebound against the Huskies. After throwing just 12 picks in 13 games during his first season as a starter, Glennon suffered a career-worst four interceptions versus Tennessee’s defense, which was ranked seventh in the Southeastern Conference last year. Sophomore wide receiver Bryan Underwood was a game-time de-

#6 Florida State (1-0, 0-0 ACC) “Burn It Down” by Linkin Park

N.C. State (0-1, 0-0 ACC) - “Stronger” by Kelly Clarkson

“We’re building it up/To break it back down/We’re building it up/To burn it down/We can’t wait/To burn it to the ground.” If Oklahoma State beat Savannah State 84-0 with backups and walk-ons, Florida State could beat the Tigers 189-3 if the ‘Noles keep their starters in. Tuba players should see the field in the second half for this one.

“Think you’ve had the last laugh/ Bet you think that everything good is gone/Think you left me broken down/Think that I’d come running back/Baby you don’t know me.” Before a Dec. 4 meeting on the hard court, NCSU will try to hold off UConn’s upset bid on the gridiron. Starting the season 107th in pass defense isn’t what a veteran Wolfpack secondary had in mind, but the good news is that Connecticut will rotate between two quarterbacks who aren’t exactly gunslingers.

cision against Tennessee after he sustained a knee injury during fall practice. Underwood played in the game and caught three passes for a total of nine yards. “I think he was rusty and ran out of gas, and we probably played him too much,” O’Brien said. “He’s not a veteran. He can’t play without practicing. We needed his legs and some of the things that we thought he could do for us, but he certainly has to play better for us to be successful out there.” O’Brien offered no further update on Underwood’s injury and said that he would once again be a gametime decision against the Huskies. On the other side of the ball, junior defensive end Darryl CatoBishop said the defensive line will need to do a better job getting pressure on the quarterback this weekend if the Wolfpack is to have suc-

cess against the Huskies. “I think up front we needed to apply more pressure to make [Tennessee quarterback Tyler Bray] move around more in the pocket,” CatoBishop said. “That was our job up front.” “It’s our responsibility to get to the quarterback, and we didn’t do it,” Cato-Bishop said. “We’ve got to do a better job of that.” Connecticut’s main offensive threat, sophomore running back Lyle McCombs, gained 1,151 yards on the ground last season with seven touchdowns en route to earning second-team all-Big East honors and a freshman All-American selection by the Football Writers Association of America. With so many veterans on both sides of the ball, the Huskies will be a stiff test for the Wolfpack.

Miami (1-0, 1-0 ACC) - “Some Nights” by Fun

Duke (1-0, 0-0 ACC) - “Call Me Maybe” by Carly Rae Jepsen

“I beg, and borrow and steal/ Have foresight and it’s real/I didn’t know I would feel it/But it’s in my way.” In extremely un-Duke-like fashion, the Devils scored 30 points in the second quarter en route to throttling Florida International, 46-26. The concern? Duke gave up 513 yards of offense to a Sun Belt team.

“I was never one to believe the hype - save that for the black and white/I try twice as hard and I’m half as liked/But here they come again to jack my style.” The ‘Canes are usually a program that doesn’t care what you think about them, and that attitude is going to have to be prevalent this season; a shootout win at Boston College is just the first baby step towards proving the critics wrong.

Georgia Tech (0-1, 0-1 ACC) “Wide Awake” by Katy Perry

North Carolina (1-0, 0-0 ACC) - “Don’t Wake Me Up” by Chris Brown

“Falling from cloud nine/ Crashing from the high/I’m letting go tonight/Yeah, I’m falling from cloud nine.” The winner of the Georgia Tech-Virginia Tech game has won the Coastal Division the last seven years, which does not bode well for a Yellow Jackets team that let a golden opportunity slip through its finger tips in Blacksburg.

“Too much light in this window, don’t wake me up/Only coffee no sugar, inside my cup/If I wake and you’re here still, give me a kiss.” UNC’s new 4-2-5 defense kind of freaked Elon out, as the Phoenix only found 170 yards of total offense despite having those cool billboards on I-40 near Greensboro. Carolina’s offense also found some fast break rhythm, which is bad news for Wake Forest.
