Going down 17-7 due to dumbass mistakes and then winning the game against A&M handily goes against your last point.

This history stuff really makes no sense to me. Is there a single human being in the entire athletic department that was here in 2013? I get what you're saying, but every team is different. Just because the 2014 team lost back to back conference games literally has zero correlation to what the 2023 team will or won't do. The prior history of the program is not good in spots like this, no doubt. But I don't think it has anything at all to do with what happens Saturday. This is a new team with new kids and new coaches.

Fair point. Idk if I call it resilient when it was 10 minutes into the game versus when it actually matters and you're backed into a corner.

1 more loss, especially to UNC, and the ACCCG is suddenly all but unreachable. That is the equivalent of backed into the corner with 25 seconds left in the 4th.

History is history and trends are trends until they're broken. 17/20 is strong odds. 80-85% is strong predictability. None of those 20 teams are the same but they did the exact same thing 85% of the time.
 
Miami hasn't beaten UNC since 2018. Miami hasn't won in Chapel Hill since 2017. Miami is notorious for stringing multiple losses in a row. Drake Maye is a legit top 5 pick in the upcoming draft. This game has POTENTIAL to go very very bad for Miami. Like 62-26 bad. Miami's defense is great against the rush, UNC's offense doesn't rush the ball well. It's the passing game. Can Miami pressure May into making bad decisions and actually turn the ball over. The problem is, UNC only has 5 turnovers through 6 games.

Oh, and Miami just lost the worst way a team has ever lost in the history of college football. My heart says Canes, but my head says UNC by at least three TDs.

Who cares one game doesn’t have anything to do with the next. Shít you saying doesn’t even make sense and I don’t think you know what excuse means

We would have been favored if we didn’t publicly embarrass ourselves, so yes it’s possible.

Line was UNC -1 on Saturday morning. Even if Mario takes a knee and Miami wins, it wouldn’t have moved any in our favor. They looked much better than Miami.

Unc has a solid run game and they have to play defense too

West,

Reading your defensive post a few days ago, I'm curious how you would try and defend NC's offense? And if we have the personnel to execute your suggestion?

Miami has compounded losses (lose at least 2 in a row) at some point in every season since since 2012. Sometimes more than once.

They've also done it 17 times in the last 20 seasons - '05, '09, and '11 are the only exceptions.

Even more evidence:

Since 2013 - Miami has followed their first loss immediately with a 2nd loss 6 times (60%) and of the other 4 times, they didn't follow with a P5 opponent twice but did lose their next P5 game. The only exceptions are 2018 - lose to LSU week 1, then win 3 games vs FCS and G5, then beat UNC in week 5. Most recently, 2020 - boat raced by Clemson and bounce back to beat Pitt the following week.

Since 2013 - when we've suffered our first conference loss, we have suffered our 2nd conference loss in the next in-conference game 6 times (60%)

This program has had zero resiliency and there's not a single reason to believe they've changed that this year.. considering they allowed 76 yards in 2 plays after the coaching and fumble blunder.

This is a critical point in Mario's tenure if we win this game it's a great indication that we are really turning the corner

We can't beat a Garbage GT team at home....but we're gonna walk into Chapel Hill and beat a very good UNC team with an excellent QB??....If you say so....and if you don't like my so-called ellipsis, my advice is to not respond.

GT couldn’t beat Ball State at home but won in Miami the following week. Crazier things have happened.

I think we'll win too.

UNC hasn't played anybody yet and giving up 335 yards a game.

They had to go to 2OT with app state and gave up 494 yards and 34 points to them. App state averaged 5 yards per carry against them.

They have flaws just like we do.

To be fair, the "nobody" South Carolina squad that Carolina beat by 2 touchdowns and held to -2 rushing yards, lead Georgia by 2 touchdowns at halftime. They went on to lose that game by 10.

Also, App State is not exactly a "nobody". They can be a pretty legit squad.
 
Here we go with the arrogant/overconfident fans and their false bravado claiming that Miami is going to run all over UNC, when history has shown that to not be the case several times. Do i want Miami to win? Of course! Do i want the team to put up 60 on UNC while holding them to less than 20pts? **** f**k yeah. But reality sets in and i have to remember we haven't beaten UNC at their stadium since 2017 and they've been a thorn in Miami's side since the Canes joined the ACC. Some of us prefer not to be blind slurpers, especially after Cristobal's (or Dawson's) all time coaching blunder, and approach this upcoming game with cautious optimism. Trust/belief in Mario is at an all time low amongst some of us Canes fans, and for good reason. Let's hope Mario hasn't lost the team and the GT loss send the team into a tailspin like in previous years.

This proves my point. We were +1 before the game. If we win like we were supposed to win (by 19-21) then in all likelihood it would have been at least -1 Miami. We looked like **** against a horrible GT team, then we had that late game blunder--it was a complete embarrassment.

I am not even saying we are going to win. I am saying we can win and that we would have been favored but for the horrible game. How is this controversial?

Saturday night doesn't happen and we win like we are capable and the line Sunday morning isn't+3 Miami--it's -1 Miami. I might be wrong, but it's not an unreasonable position.

I dont care what anyone says...yes, on paper and in the standings(which absolutely means something..i get it), they lost...but in reality, they didn't. They did not play their best football and did whatever they needed to do to win the game. The obvious knee and game is over, not to mention the refs actually making the right call on the non fumble...again, had the right things taken place, the attitudes would be different. Yep, we would absolutely be expressing our concerns, but most of us would be looking at this game as a winnable game, especially if we base that opinion on the entire season, not just one game. Great teams all around the country have and will play games just like we did Sat night. Again, Miami really won the game had it not been for the blunder of all blunders. Miami 31 UNC 24
