Wow, i know they want both sides to bet, but is that the number they thought bettors backing dook would like? I would have thought it would be 5 or 6. I would think by game time it is down significantly. I will take a 1 point win by the Heels, but if we win by 60 , I will love that better! Go Heels!
Heels open as 9.5 favorite versus dook
- Thread starter mahncpa1
- Start date
And the Heels REALLY need this one too! Duke and Pitt are the only teams in the Coastal with only 1 conference loss. Everyone else outside of Chapel Hill has at least 2. A win over the dookies would give Carolina the tie breaker over both dook AND Pitt and a little bit more breathing room coming down the stretch.
Yep a win here really, really puts us in the driving seat, especially when you consider the fact that Pitt and Duke still have to play each other (and Pitt still has to face Louisville and Miami)
Getting the W here would put us to where we can lose one of our last three and still make the ACC Championship, and they are all three not easy games. I will take an ugly 1 point win happily, and if we look good and cover this big spread all the better
That spread is E-ville. These last 4 games are all going to be tougher than any the guys have played to date.
I was thinking more of those "Dixie Chickens" not to be confused with dixie chicks.
I know what "Nole" refers to. It rhymes with Lowell... I had hopes for a clever pun.
If UNC shows up and Duke shows up, UNC wins and think rather easily. Duke's D may be better, but not much better. UNC's offense is a lot better than Duke's if it on its game. As long as the refs don't effect the game like 2 years ago, should have same result as last year.
I don't say it as "Low-wull", I say it like Roll with an L instead of an R.
OK instead of the normal "LO-wal , do you also say no-wull instead of noul. It's pretty hard to get 2 syllables out of nole...congrats I guess if you and 71-00 ever get a reality show we will need subtitles.
there are several programs on the internet that teach you how to pronounce words...
How do you pronounce "Lowell"?
I say "Nole" with a slight roll of the tongue on the L.
But what the hell do I know? It's not like he nor all his friends pronounced it this way. <roll eyes emoji>
But maybe if you want proof, you can listen to Bill Payne. Or was he wrong too?

@strummingram I watched that one too this evening and them wemt down the rabbit hole and ended up on the Tedeschi Trucks band. You listen to them much?
There will be some missed or wrong calls by the officials. But I don't think they we be bias towards or for Duke. I think the officials now know that the powers that be watching.
Not much as a duo. I like Susan Tedeschi... and I like Derek Trucks. I first saw Trucks a LONG time ago, he was just a kid. He's a great slide player. I've heard some of their stuff and liked it okay. There's a lot of talent there. Good roots, too.
TTB is the bee's knees.
I was gonna ask if he was a Derek Trucks fan since he's from Jacksonville and a huge FSU fan. Derek is a freak of nature. Problem the most expressive player I've ever seen.
Also for the record lowell, and nole rhyme to me too
Derek took slide even further than Warren Haynes. I am a huge Duane Allman fan, and Duane was influenced by Jesse Ed Davis (Taj Mahal). Derek really has taken slide further than anyone I've ever heard.
I checked and low and behold, I found the very show on You Tube that I attended in person. It was at Walnut Creek Ampitheater.
Holy $hit I've watched this clip so many times its ridiculous. Cant believe you were actually there. Yeah Derek blows Warren away on slide, but Warren's ability to play slide in standard tuning is pretty crazy to me. Warren also has an awesome voice. I loved the Allman Bro's with those two guys driving the ship. I saw there last festival performance at Lockn last year, it was incredible. My family is actually from Asheville, my dad grew up right across the street and was the exact same age as Warren.
Should note that the Canes and the Hoos only have 2 conference losses and are 2-2 in the conference. And the Canes now have a "W" over one of the top 3, and have yet to play Pitt and Carolina, so in consideration of the obvious parity in the division, again, they are not out of it yet, either. UVA has losses to both Carolina and Pitt, but still has to play dook and Miami.
The simple answer for Carolina is just win all 4, and there will be no question or need for a "tie-breaker". dook also could do the same thing by winning out, thereby holding the "tie breaker" over Carolina and Pitt, since their single conf loss to date is to a team which already has 2 conf losses. Any of the other 3 would need help from another team (or teams) to claim the division championship, even if they win out.
But clearly, the remaining 3 games after Saturday pretty much become a matter of pride (and "hope" for a competitor to lose to someone else) vs end of season championship competition for the loser of Saturday's game in Kenan - this, realistically, is the MOST IMPORTANT "Battle of the Blues" in 65 years (post Justice Era), and maybe before. There have been big games, where one team HAD to win to become a champion - but I don't recall any where both teams, realistically, were playing to put themselves in position to do so. Perhaps it's because for most of those years, this has been the traditional end of season game, by which time either (or both) had been eliminated from championship potential. But whatever - SATURDAY is a critical game for both teams. We need to fill Kenan with Tar Heel fans!!!
GO HEELS!!!
How many times do you all need to hear it to start believing it?? UNC wins out ... AND play in the ACC championship game ... you better start saving some money for either the Championship game or the Bowl game because you all are gonna play in a good one this year ... wherever that may be.
Words could not express my happiness if we were to win out and play for the league championship. I try not to even think about it, lest I jinx us.
