Bobby Floyd Key Quotes
“[Last years game] was one of the funnest games I’ve ever played in. A lot of the students and fans that I’m around, the biggest game of the year for them is Carolina, because these are the people you see for the rest of the year. It’s not everyday you run across a Virginia Tech fan, but in Raleigh your going to run into a Tar Heel everyday. It’s a great rivalry and it has a lot of history behind it, and I think all of the students and the fans appreciate that. When we get a big win, it definitely means a lot to them, for the bragging rights.”
“Walking out of the stadium at Blacksburg, the fans were actually chanting ‘Beat Carolina.’ That’s a testament to how much this game means to Wolfpack fans.”
“It’s a huge game. It’s a huge game to me. When I came here, being from Florida, I didn’t realize how big the rivalry was. Until I played Carolina for the first time, I didn’t realize it. After I played them, I realized how much emotion goes into that game. It’s a rivalry, and it’s the biggest rivalry I’ve ever been a part of. It means a lot to us to beat them. It’s a season’s worth of bragging rights.”
“This has been a disappointing season. There were a lot of high expectations, not just from the fans, but from us as well. We didn’t meet those expectations, and we really want to go out on a good note. I really would love to end my career with a win over Carolina. Beating them three years in a row would be a great way to go out in my opinion.”
Williams Key Quotes
“This game means a bunch to me. I grew up in the state of North Carolina, and NC State vs. UNC has always been a big rivalry. After what we did to them over there last year, they are going to come in here pumped up, so we are going to have to bring it to them this year even more.”
“I don’t remember the score from last year, but I remember that they were really embarrassed. Anytime you play in someone else’s stadium, and you have more fans in there at the end than they do, it’s embarrassing.”
“This is pretty much as big as a bowl game right now. For the Senior’s, this is our last go around. It’s your last game, and it’s against Carolina, so it might as well have that bowl atmosphere.”
