Looking Out for Red Shirts

Only a few NCSU fans out in Fanueil Hall right now. That is usually a good indicator of a crowd. For example, Clemson was the best visitng crowd ever, everyone wore orange to the game and in the city on Friday. If you were in Boston, you KNEW they were there too. Florida State was really good in 2005, too. They completely took over McFaddens and had numerous tomahawk chop chants. Banny was ever so happy to join in...... Dink. Scott and I were ordering drinks from the bartender, and we could see some guy and girl, through the windows, making out on the sidewalk. We pointed it out to the bartender, she tapped on the glass, and without a beat the guy making out looks up and does a tomahawk chop at the bar patrons!!! Amazing reaction. Its fun when a good opponent crowd invades, it makes the game feel like an event and not just a page 9 story behind 3 pages of Red Sox, 2 pages of golf/miscellaneous, and 4 pages of Patriots coverage.

As for the Wolfpack.... I'm sure they'll get drunk and rowdy and make some noise, but I'm not sure about their numbers. Might be a home field advantage after all.
