I had to watch the game on my phone and don’t have detailed thoughts, but my wife isn’t talking to me this morning and my head hurts. This sucks.

We all expected Mario to blow a game because of gameday blunders. But it didn’t need to be a national humiliation.

The UNC game just became the most important game in years. There is a real risk that the team loses trust in Mario after a botch like that. A loss can send the season off the rails. A win gets us back on an upward trajectory.

Salute to all the maniacs who still care after a loss like that. We are the college football version of Job. Hopefully, it will all be worth it one day. See you on Saturday night.

I woke up ready to forget the Canes existed and focus on my Lions. ESPN reminded me that I should watch more baseball.

How is it possible for a HC to be so inept after over 10 years experience? Mario looks like Nathaniel Hackett out there.
 
The great part of being objective, I mean a mope, is that losses like last night don’t change my outlook on the season. We are a meh 8-4 maybe if things go bad good 7-5/9-3 team. We are still that. Nothing has changed, we were just reminded 1) Mario is a terrible game day coach and 2) many over reacted to our first 4 games. Onto UNC
 
If you missed it, we get a first down with 1:55 left, I know you know your time management being a football fan so under 2 minutes with clock running and GT having 1 timeout and us having 3 downs the GAME IS OVER, Mario can take 3 knees and the GAME IS OVER, he has 3 chances to count the time and ALL THREE CHANCES HE RUNS THE BALL. This is beyond malpractice and I think he can be fired with moral clause. We called it out in game thread, on first 2 times but even if his caveman brain cant process, its under 40 secs on last play and the announcer is SCREAMING TAKE A KNEE, Mario is still running up the middle

 
Not that it matters with the botched call not taking the knee, but Mario and Dawson IMO screwed up the last offensive play of game too not throwing a hail Mary in the end zone to Young or someone that can jump and have a chance to catch it. Wtf! Worst coaching blunder ever with not taking a knee and horrendous last 2 min of game coaching.

Any faith I had is gone. That call may be the one that kills off this program once and for all. As Tommy Lee Jones once said to Jim Carrey "I cannot sanction your buffoonery". I have 0 faith that Mario can be anything more than a 6-8 win coach. You make that same mistake twice in your career then you should find another profession.

Had to work and watched game thru texts and quick score alerts. Crazy my peception of the game then and now that I have watched it. Yes, the end was a world-class debacle BUT the game was just strange. Different uniforms, TVD off night etc. I know I will get the hates for this but it looked like a rivalry game. Slugfest first half. Offenses get going second half. Miami looks to have it and then an outlier that changes outcome.
Disappointed in the loss and mismanagement. Curious about the rebound week. Not sure we have it in us but we will see*

*apologies for rational thoughts
