Its interesting how "we"/society has changed to accept schmucks without


ever holding such schmuck accountable. My posting reflects the state of our program, and our AD, who stood up last year and preached that we are in "year 1" despite that not being true, and despite paying a head coach a top 25 salary. There are so many considerations in all of that, but when I grew up, if you acted like a schmuck or a fool, you didn't get to blame others for calling you out about it. Now, somehow, it is acceptable to be a fool or a schmuck as long as you admit it and try to blame others.

You present some really good and interesting facts and I appreciate the color. You provided substance and stats, which is also appreciated, and you raised some relevant holes for UNC. Unfortunately, their recruiting has gotten better, not worse, and they have reloaded with more talent, not less. They also have the likely number 1 draft pick on their team, which will be tough to defend against.

In all seriousness, I see a beat down because our coach simply isn't getting the job done. Maybe I'll be proven wrong, and he just needed a spring to get his players prepared, I don't know. But I know that for all of the negative facts about UNC, we have 1000X more negative facts from last season that I could highlight. Indeed, our first losing season without a bowl since 92 sums up where we are.

Bottom line is that UNC is expected to compete for the coastal and I expect us to have a losing season. No need to take my banter on this site too seriously, but I understand your point in this thread.

My point, however, is that our AD tried to pretend we were fools and that our program is on the right track, despite the obvious. Sadly, there is truth behind my banter and those who get paid are held accountable and in this instance, my banter reflects the lack of seriousness that our own AD introduced into this team. Its comedy, after all.
