I don't dispute this, but it's the source I take issue with.

He was one of those guys from the football forums who had an axe to grind against "basketball onlies", and would frequently come over to THR specifically to shit on Roy or chastise people for not showing the same zeal for football, despite the program never earning it. I think he's just taking another pot shot at UNC Basketball.

I agree with dtodd. It's time to abandon ship. Being a bottom feeder in a Football powerhouse conference will be much more lucrative than remaining top dog in a Basketball conference going down a death spiral.

Oh I know how woad is…I have had many a disagreements with him…

I think he is really taking about the ACC as a whole being more basketball 1st except for Clemson and FSU…And while UNC has been right at 500 or a little above in Football forever except for a few years here and there it’s well known and even AJ who runs this site will tell you UNC has never invested in football like they do in basketball…And now with the money for TV deals all of which is for Football it’s coming back to bite the ACC and especially UNC…

None of that is going to make me pick the historically mediocre football program over a historically exceptional basketball program. That's what OP is actually butthurt about.

Hey ChoadBlue, if the football program was any good this wouldn't even be a problem!

I think they have to get out of the ACC, the big boys and big boy TV money would love to have them, but they are trapped. Without the big time football money, basketball will be at a disadvantage.

If Washington starts tonight, my first offensive possession I'm running a play for him. Just to get him engaged right away.

If Washington and Withers both start tonight after the way they played in Maui, and Powell comes off the bench, I just might break my remote.

Sounds reasonable.

We have a few players who need jump-starting by having plays run for them. By which I mean actually running plays for them. Plays that get them open and get them the ball where they can do some damage. Not just getting them the ball so they can freelance.

It's hard to imagine any of our bigs being effective against Alabama. Even if Grant Nelson (6'11 230) isn't as unconscious against us as he was last year, he's still a top-notch starter. And then, of course, they also got Clifford Omoruyi (6'11 250) from the portal, and he's having a decent season (not big numbers but very efficient). Nor does it stop there, since they have 6'10 240 and 6'11 215 coming off the bench.

If ANY of our bigs do well tonight I'll be impressed.

Cheap shot or not he is telling the truth…If I told you 10 years ago hey in 2024 the SEC and ACC will have the challenge in basketball and on the 1st night the SEC will go 9-1 with most games being blowouts…You would have said I am crazy…
