OOTB Carolina football discussion thread

@gteeitup lives near lil carolina's campus, so I thought that made sense.
I've been ignoring all the conf moves. 20-teens and early 2020's will be remembered as the end of the "normal" college sports era. SMU and Cali schools?
I'm just going to ignore all this for awhile more.
I think this is good news. Because I think it signifies the beginning of the end of the ACC as we know it. Insiders believe that UNC is finally thinking strategically and have a plan for the future. There is an open invitation from both the SEC and the B1G. My guess is within the next 4 years, Carolina will be in one or the other and the ACC will be relegated to a second tier conference like the Big East.
All that was going to happen without those three. All this does is lower the per school share if someone leaves before us.
SMU has already stated they don't take any payout for 6 years. I'm sure there are stipulations for the other 2 as well. We'll be gone by then. The ACC will be done by then.
The other two are taking a 30% share that increases over time and SMU bumped it up to nine years. What I meant was lowering it if someone leaves. For example, if FSU leaves in a couple of years, it will be a 17 team split. If the ACC didn't add, it would be 14 team split.
I hope we are out, but damage is already being done. Not just in football, but basketball too.
Yeah, none of the P4 names make any sense. The closest is the SEC. Last time I checked Texas and Oklahoma were a little further west than the southeast, though.
forgive me if this has been mentioned, but we will then be called the All Coast Conference. Har.
Anyone excited about the game today? I've kinda lost my enthusiasm for UNC football. About in the same place with basketball as well.
Well... Here's my personal feeling...
"I hope they don't lose in an embarrassing way."
I’m about 10% as excited as I normally would be. I'll still be irritated if we lose to USuCk though.
I have a feeling this is the year we'll go on another run then shit the bed again at the end of the year when it really matters. We're all going to slowly get sucked back in as we beat up on terrible teams, and just as we start to really get our hopes up...
I figure there's two outcomes. Either we win 9-10 games or we win five games, but one of them being Clemson and everyone is pissed off because we're wondering why we couldn't play that way the whole year.
I was thinking the same thing, but we played plenty of bad OL last year and didn't do that. GA state was pushing us around. Even if the DL has improved just enough to beat a bad OL, that could win another one or two games.
I thought we got a little too conservative in the fourth. Should have just kept the foot on the gas.
Yeah I agree. We should be able push around most teams on the schedule. Which combined with a great QB should be enough for 9-10 wins.
Still look like they’re trying to find any possible way to lose though…
Unc had 17 sacks last season. 9 last night.
To find something to whine about I was disappointed for maye. This was one of the few prime time games for heisman voters to see him. He played good but the heisman talk I would think will go away for now.

I thought the offensive play calling regarding the passing game was pretty conservative the entire game. In the second half SC started tightening their coverage underneath and pretty much neutralized our receivers and got the two INTs,
The difference, though, was the front seven on defense. They pretty much dominated the Gamecock offense the entire game. So in hindsight, by the start of the fourth quarter the outcome of the game was pretty much determined even if we couldn't score.
I thought the play calling was extremely conservative. I'd like to see them utilize Drake's arm more, especially with getting the ball to our stud TE's. We need to see more wrinkles to set up mismatches for those guys.
That said, it's easy to justify keeping things conservative when the defense is playing as well as they did.
