Game preview
N.C. State seeks revenge against WVU

Game is 9pm on ESPN, following the FSU at Mississippi St. game which is at 7.

For those heading to the game from Raleigh, according to Google Maps, it is 454 miles and about 6 hours, 45 minutes. I personally hate driving in West Virginia. Thank god for Sattelite Radio.

WVU Coliseum

More than 35 years old, yet still impressive in its visual impact, the WVU Coliseum is one of the nation's supreme showcases for athletic events.

Whether it's during the day, when the sun shines down on the massive structure, or at night, when its golden lights make it an evening showcase, the Coliseum stands as one of West Virginia University's most striking facilities and played a significant role in the expansion of the area now known as the Evansdale Campus.
