I would like to be the first to nominate North Carolina State University
for the 1992 Cal Bear Woofing Award.  I submit the following posts as
a resume of the accomplishments of Wolfpack fans.

Notice the use of the long and glorius tradition of Wolfpack football to   
predict this season's success.

This line alone deserves bonus points for the legendary status it has achieved
in such a short time.

Notice the "Silver Lining Effect" in assessing the outcome of the only game in
August.

Ahhhhhh, my personal favorite!  Notice the misinformation!  Notice the 
hyperbole!  A masterpiece of woofing!


This is clear evidence of extraordinary, even super-human woofing, especially
given that the only game in August has yet to be played.  
 
Honorable mention goes to the USC Trojans, but one woofer is not enough.

BTW, this isn't another one of those Boilerweenie-like institutes springing
up, is it?
