I hope we stay humble...

Undoubtedly we as App fans have experienced or read (probably more so from the media than fans themselves) smug degrading things about our status compared to the almighty Tar Heels.
I personally didn't see any of it myself at the game, and while I agree we are a better program and have a much better football culture....trashing their culture isnt much different than what we accuse them of doing to us.
I hope we continue to be the next big thing and take our program to new heights....but please let's stay humble and grateful. Remember when Toledo fans deserved a better opponent than us....what if we go 12-1 and end up in the New Orleans bowl vs a 8-4 North Texas...how will we react? I see so many nasty fan bases, I wish we didnt engage like some of them.
Its human nature, but sometimes I questioned if we arnt a little hard on Charlotte fans. There are real, blue bleeding Tar Heel fans and green bleeding charlotte fans who live their team like we love ours. Doing things the right way is what has always set us apart. I hope that continues....
