Season opens in Dublin, Ireland. FSU leads 8-0 early. John Papuchis, FSU Special Teams coordinator, gets praised by announcers.

If FSU manages to blow this game, which will FSU fans blame the most? The ACC? Officiating? Tobacco Road? Not having SEC or BT money? Donald Trump? Jo Biden ending his campaign?

I most certainly was anything but a fan of the hire. That doubled as soon as he announced his staff, which I asserted would never work out and was strong proof that he had learned absolutely nothing about why he had been fired by Texas. Most of those posters who loved the hire, or at least liked it, felt that Mack would revive recruiting and coach for 4 or 5 or, maybe if things were going well, for 6 seasons and then retire gracefully. I warned that Mack's ego was massive and that he likely would never do that, that instead he probably would demand to coach until he dropped dead, which would mean either UNC football would get trashed very badly or else Mack would get fired.

This is an easy schedule. And though Mack clearly is losing some of his recruiting touch, the team has enough talent to finish at least 8-4 . And if the team were really well coached it could finish 10-2 or 11-1 if it stayed healthy.

In the previous 5 seasons, Mack has yet to win 10 games. His bowl record is a piss poor 1-4, with the only win coming against nobody Temple in the double minor Military Bowl. His 4 consecutive bowl losses are a perfect counterpart to Dick Crum having won 4 consecutive bowls against Name Brand football programs. Mack has yet to beat a ranked OOC foe.

Mediocre Mack.

Adding a unique football game-day experience tailored to groups of 14 fans, Carolina Athletics is partnering with RevelXP to offer Tar Heel Patios, two new outdoor premium seating areas in Kenan Stadium. The Tar Heel Patios will offer 14 tickets, 5 parking passes, food and beverage service, comfortable seating, a TV, and an incredible view of the game. (GoHeels.com)

I hope it is blue helmets.

I haven't seen a conformation from Andrew but SI is saying that the game has been pushed back an our to 8:00 Central because of weather . Just saying . Guess I'll tape it and watch the second half tomorrow night. 😎 🥁✌️

The Tar Heels open the hoops season against Elon. For perspective, ten weeks ago was June 17. That was a few days before I went back home to the DC area (VA), and it seems like just a few weeks ago. Time will fly and the season will be here.

One other note, ACC Tipoff (media day) in Charlotte is October 9.

Dunn, Styles, Shaver, Nickel, and now High. Seems like recruits ranked outside the top 50 don't stick around too long under the new coaching regime.

High leaves UNC with arguably the worst foul rate of any player I've seen.

Just read that Cedrik Gray will begin his NFL season on Injured Reserve. He has a shoulder injury. He was drafted in the third round by the Tennessee Titans.
