Re: Down Go The Heels - Yet again
11 starters didn’t play. One thing we can agree with the Holes is the transfer NIL and portal “rules” suck.

Re: Down Go The Heels - Yet again
Yep that always have some kind of excuse - WV was without key player as well. However they missed because of injury. 1st team all-american center - their top RB - 2 starting DLmen - One team showed up to play and the other sort of just showed up. I had a hole fan complaining about not having all their players and I told him maybe that shows something about the players - care more about themselves than the team

Isn’t Country Roads about west Virginia, not West Virginia? Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah River are primarily in west Virginia.

Re: Down Go The Heels - Yet again
I think it says something about the coaching prowess of Neal Brown, which I know everyone here is glad he has at least one more year.

Re: Down Go The Heels - Yet again
Brown did a heck of a job. Preseason picked 14th in big 12

Re: Down Go The Heels - Yet again
The best part was the crowd. UNC just found out Wal-Mart tarholes are fair weather fans with no loyalty in the end.

Re: Down Go The Heels - Yet again
Did they have anyone besides the band there? When I was watching the only light blue I saw was the seats at the stadium. Seems there fans quit along with the team.

Re: Down Go The Heels - Yet again
I know you're digging me there and that is OK - Beginning of last season he was in big trouble and it got no better as the season progressed and then the AD who gave him something like a 37 Million buy-out was fired. New AD decided to give him another year.
Look, most every WVU wanted him to succeed, including me. Holgerson was an ass and cared nothing about the culture of West Virginia. Brown is a wholesome caring family man and I think he finally "got" it, but he would not have survived another year like last year.
UNC had more 4-5 star recruits than WVU, App and Duke combined and all 3 should have beaten them.
Again, Mack is the most overrated coach in the country as is his team every year

Re: Down Go The Heels - Yet again
UNC lost 5 of their last 7 with one of those wins being Campbell. What a joke of a football program. They will probably start next season in the top 20. Always fun to watch them fall.

Glad Brown is still coaching after all those WV blowhards were calling for his firing. I bet all those hypocrites were celebrating today.

Re: Down Go The Heels - Yet again
Remember when UNC was 6 games into the season and everyone was talking about them being in the playoffs?

Re: Down Go The Heels - Yet again
I have a feeling the only Tar Heel fans last night were the parents and the WalMart fans.

Re: Down Go The Heels - Yet again
To which season are you referring? I can think of several seasons (read: every) where this has been the case.NattyBumppo'sRevenge wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2023 5:42 pmRemember when UNC was 6 games into the season and everyone was talking about them being in the playoffs?![]()

Re: Down Go The Heels - Yet again
I guess if it keeps you warm, the hate is good. To beat up on a team because their backups aren’t as good as another team’s backups,ok. These games are largely meaningless anymore and frankly, I’m loving watching Delaware’s own Flacco cheat age. 20+ FSU players aren’t playing, no one cares so why should we?

Re: Down Go The Heels - Yet again
Backups for this game perhaps, but 1-5 against the last 6 FBS teams they played, 5 of those games with the amazing Drake Maye and other starters.Boonegoon wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2023 9:25 pmI guess if it keeps you warm, the hate is good.
