TIM PEELER: Pack Helps Say Good-Bye to Orange Bowl

You can't blame Tom O'Brien for not mustering up a little nostalgia for Orange Bowl Stadium. He's never won at the downtown Miami landmark as a player or a coach. He was a junior defensive end when Navy lost at Miami 30-10 in 1969. He never faced the Hurricanes in his 15 years as an assistant coach at Virginia, though Miami beat the Cavaliers 31-21 just weeks after O'Brien left Charlottesville to become head coach at Boston College. With the Eagles, O'Brien was a disappointing 0-8 against the Big East's southern-most foe, including five losses in the Orange Bowl. So forgive O'Brien if he doesn't get all warm-and-fuzzy thinking about the demise of the crumbling, 70-year-old downtown stadium when he takes NC State's football team (3-5 overall, 1-3 ACC) and its two-game winning streak there to face the Hurricanes at noon on Saturday, a game that will be carried live on the Wolfpack Radio Network and on ESPNU.
