Russell Wilson with "Trust" written on his wrist bandage<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Oh, I wish every game at NC State was like this for me.\u00c2\u00a0 To be sure, working at NC State covering football has had it’s ups and downs.\u00c2\u00a0 When Daniel Evans threw the “hail mary” 2 years ago to beat Boston College:\u00c2\u00a0 That was euphoric.\u00c2\u00a0 But for every good moment, there seems to be even more bad ones.\u00c2\u00a0 Traveling to USC with the team was an exercise in masochism.\u00c2\u00a0 Insult to injury was Russell Wilson’s concussion that put him in the hospital overnight.\u00c2\u00a0 But back to the point:\u00c2\u00a0 It is a lot more fun to work for and photograph a team that wins than one that doesn’t.<\/p>\n

Today was one of those good days.\u00c2\u00a0 In what turned out to be an exciting game, North Carolina State upset East Carolina (ECU).\u00c2\u00a0 Some fans may dispute the use of “upset”, saying that ECU was not as good as they were thought.\u00c2\u00a0 But, in the end, NC State did beat a ranked team.\u00c2\u00a0 Here are some of my photos<\/a> from the game.<\/p>\n

You know how I like random photos, and the photo in this posting is both random, and one of my favorite photos from the day.\u00c2\u00a0 It is of NC State QB Russell Wilson.\u00c2\u00a0 Actually, it is a close up of his hands during the press conference.\u00c2\u00a0 I noticed his wrist taped with the word “Trust” written on it.\u00c2\u00a0 After taking a few photos of it, a reporter asked what the message meant.\u00c2\u00a0 Russell said it means “Trust in God first. Then trust in your teammates.”\u00c2\u00a0 Anyways, I hope Russell wasn’t wondering why I was zooming in on his pelvic section.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
