OOTB's Political Thread . ..

pooponduke said:
For example, recently the head of the NCAA testified in Congress about their policies and accommodation of trans athletes. He literally said that of the over half a million athletes that the NCAA governs, there were 10 trans participating on women's teams. That they are allowed to compete as women just blows me away. I just don't understand why hundreds of thousands or at least tens of thousands have to conform to accommodate the ten who say they are something that their equipment/dna says otherwise.

I don't give a pile of lima beans about how anyone wants to live their lives, but it just seems to me to be the height of hypocrisy to tell women athletes that they have to adapt and accommodate others who are physically men, but they aren't allowed to call it out or even talk about it. If there isn't an issue with the current way they have set it up (and it's perfectly fine that some athletes with physical attributes of men are advantaged by playing with women), then logic would dictate that they make no distinction between men's or women's teams. There should be a single bball team, a single soccer team, and so on. Regardless of gender, whoever makes the team plays and that's that because there is no distinction to be made based upon the actual physical structure that is covered by the uniforms. We all know the end result, but all those so-called champions of women's rights better get ready for the firestorm. To me, that's an issue worthy of discussion.

I've also had this thought. If you're going to include trans on women's teams, and if women whine that they deserve as much notice as men in sports, let them all compete together....and the best will play regardless of anything. But of course that's just completely unappealing, and major sports are played because of the appeal of spectating them.

My thought is this. I would love to be a professional golfer. But you know what? So would untold thousands of others who will never make the grade because for one reason or another, they aren't good enough. The point being, who says everybody gets a chance to play? NOBODY says that, and when you have a squirrelly situation like a trans man being allowed to play with women, if you have half a brain you have to understand that this isn't about inclusiveness, it's about making unfair and illogical accommodations for LGBQT types. It's favoring the LGBQT types over normal biological considerations. It is not written that these guys have to play just because they have decided to live as women. There isn't a place for you, get over it and yourself.

It's similar to that situation some years ago where a handicapped guy was allowed by an idiot judge to play pro golf with the help of a golf cart. He was allowed under whatever that handicap law says, but it was the most idiotic ruling ever. NOT everyone gets to play pro golf, We non-pro golfers ALL have a handicap of not having what it takes to play pro golf, and play within the parameters. I'm actually surprised that it hasn't been ruled by some moron that everyone can play, and their scoring handicaps counted.

UConn-UNC Postgame Notes

andrew jones
Wasabi Fenway Bowl • Fenway Park • December 28, 2024 • Boston, Mass.

Team:
• North Carolina finishes the season at 6-7. The Tar Heels have participated in a bowl
game in six straight seasons, the second-longest streak in school history (went to a bowl
in seven consecutive seasons from 1992-98).
• UNC faced Connecticut for the fourth time and for the first time since 2009. UNC is 3-1
all-time against the Huskies.
• UNC has lost five straight bowl games, the longest bowl-losing streak in school history.
• UNC is 15-24 all-time in bowl games.
• North Carolina’s 45 total yards in the first half were its fewest in a half since recording 38
yards in the first half against Cal in 2018.
• UNC’s 206 total yards are its fewest yards in a bowl game since going for 196 total yards
in the 1998 Las Vegas Bowl.
• It was the fewest total yards in a game by the Tar Heels since recording 172 against
Virginia Tech in 2017.
• UNC’s 11 completions are its fewest since recording 11 in a 56-7 victory over Mercer in
2019.
• Freddie Kitchens served as UNC’s interim head coach.
• UNC’s two All-Americans, Willie Lampkin (1st team) and Omarion Hampton (2nd team),
opted not to play in the bowl game.
o This is the third time since 2020 and the seventh time since 2000 that UNC has
had multiple All-Americans in the same season.

Offense:
• Michael Merdinger made his first appearance as a Tar Heel in relief of an injured Jacolby
Criswell.
o Merdinger finished 9-of-12 with 86 yards passing.
o Merdinger is the fourth Tar Heel quarterback to receive snaps this season.
• Caleb Hood threw for his first-career touchdown, a 17-yard pass to John Copenhaver.
o Hood is the first non-quarterback to throw a touchdown since Rontavious Groves
threw a 1-yard touchdown to Sam Howell against Miami in 2020.

• Copenhaver caught his fourth touchdown pass of the season and the ninth of his career.
o Copenhaver has had four touchdown catches in each of the past two seasons.

Defense:
• With six tackles, Beau Atkinson surpassed 50 for his career.
o Atkinson has 55 in two seasons as a Tar Heel.
o Atkinson also added a sack, bringing him to 7.5 for the season and 11 for his
career.

• Marcus Allen had two tackles, surpassing 100 for his career.
o Allen has 101 tackles in his career.
• Caleb LaVallee recorded the first tackle for loss of his career and had a season-high nine
tackles.
o LaVallee’s six tackles in the first quarter alone were more than his entire career
output entering the game.

• Cade Law recorded the first sack of his career.
Special Teams:
• Chris Culliver returned a kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter.
o It was Culliver’s second kick returned for a touchdown this season.
o Culliver is the first Tar Heel since Anthony Ratliff-Williams in 2017 to record
multiple kickoff returns for touchdowns in the same season.
§ This is the fifth time a Tar Heel has returned multiple kickoffs for
touchdowns in the same season. Culliver joins Brandon Tate (2006), T.J.
Logan (2013 & 2016), and Ratliff-Williams in 2017.

• Culliver’s 95-yard return is the 20th time a Tar Heel has returned a kickoff for at least 95
yards, all touchdowns.
• Culliver is the fifth Division I player to have multiple kickoff returns for a touchdown
this season.
• Culliver’s kickoff return for a touchdown was the second by a Tar Heel in a bowl game.
o T.J. Logan’s 78-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the 2013 Belk Bowl is the
only other.

Why Does This Team Consistently Come Out Flat

We had a big chance to jump ahead on this new age of recruitment when we were coming off a championship appearance. Caleb Love had a chance to make us attractive to recruits, when we looked awful that following year, it hurt in my opinion. Love's style of play was what kids wanted, but we all know he looked terrible the next year.

Agree. with this season there there is absolutely nothing attractive about this team playing wise but there are some bright spots with Seth, Ian (who I think will take this mess over by years end if allowed) and hopefully Drake will find his groove cause he's got the athleticism. I don't see much of anything about this team that would inspire recruits to become part of the UNC "brand". Jerseys in the rafters only take you so far. What have you done for me lately seems to be the new theme. jmo
