I have a lot to be thankful for this year. I hope you all do as well.

We appreciate all of the members of our community and wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving. Thank you for making this the best UNC fan community around.

I said before the season we would need to beat good teams in non-conference because the ACC was going to be so weak. Now we're 0-2 against good teams and 1-1 against mediocre teams so far. From what I've seen this is not a good UNC team. We have solid guard play for the most part but we also have the most ineffective front court I've ever seen at UNC along with no defense to speak of. I was so hoping JWash would have a great year but so far he's a no-show. Withers would not start on any other ACC team and Tyson has been a huge bust so far. The team keeps making the same mistakes over and over. I am not in the "fire Hubert" crowd yet but at the same time I'm still not convinced he's a good coach. I know it's early in the season but I'm seeing very disturbing signs.

Third game in three days and we will quickly see which team still has legs. Carolina has owned Michigan State as of late and I fully expect that to continue tonight. This will give Coach Davis another opportunity to see which of his players can step up against another quality team…

Contest #5 Early Season Non-Conference Contest

Seth Trimble had the following to say about the Tar Heels after the loss to Auburn:

“I don’t think we’re bought in as a team defensively.”

Of course ESPN WILL NEVER CUT OFF THE FEED TO a Duke game even if another game is scheduled. Yes it is a tremendous contest between two ranked teams now but now the game time has been switched to 11:35 pm

Finally someone telling it like it is about Mack Brown….I love this from the article….


When I see one with his head down or he’s got some joy because his sister won a contest or won a basketball game or he lost a girlfriend or flunked a test or dropped a ball on Saturday, that's my purpose,” he said. “My purpose is to fix him and try to help him get to a better place.”

Brown continued: “There will be a day I wake up and say, ‘You know what? Somebody else should be doing this.’ And I haven’t gotten to that yet.” Mack Brown


It's a compelling story, but it's also nonsense. If Brown really believes his purpose in life isn’t to win football games but to impart life lessons and inspire teenagers to do great things in life, there are multiple outlets for him that don’t require finishing ninth in the ACC or collecting a $5 million annual salary.


Bravo sir for this article….

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Losing to Boston College after a string of wins has certainly added to the frustration of the season, but we are proud of how our team continues to navigate the challenges this season. We all — Coach Brown, our staff and student-athletes, the Department and everyone who cares about Carolina Football — want a successful Football program that competes at the highest level each and every week, and we must improve in order to achieve that success. As we finish out the regular season against NC State and participate in our sixth consecutive bowl game, we will evaluate all facets of the program thoroughly.

Hope you and all Carolina fans will join me in continuing to cheer on our team and supporting our student-athletes.

Sincerely,
Bubba

When does he go off the rails and do something that gets him tossed for good? Am I wrong in sensing he's headed in that direction?
