ESPN – North Carolina State Wolfpack vs. Rutgers Scarlet Knights Box Score, December 29 2008 – NCAA College Football

Great example of all the eggs in one basket.  Russell Wilson gets hurt, offense gets 5 yards in 3rd quarter.  Nice try by Daniel Evans, but the one thing we learned is that Harrison Beck absolutely sucked.  We need a real backup QB or we’re sunk every time Wilson goes out.

One more half to go and we put a great finish on a good season. I really like where we’re headed. Russell Wilson is a great QB.

Read this over on Sports Illustrated’s site in a Peter King column. He’s one of my favorite sports columnists and he wrote about asking a member of the Detroit Lions what now-fired head coach Rod Marinelli said to the team after their final game of the first 0-16 season in NFL history.

“The room got very quiet,” Hanson (the team’s placekicker) said. “Rod is a very good man. He thanked us for fighting to the end. But he said to us, ‘This is us. We own this. We did this. So man up.’ ”

That’s our quote. An amazing testimony to personal responsibility in an age and culture that blames everyone else for its problems.

This is us. We own this. We did this. So man up.
