Our 2 losses

We were better than UNC in the first half with little to show for it due to our mistakes. They had an equally dominant 3rd compounded by more mistakes.

4th Q you can throw away since UNC kinda went in to kill clock mode but we did technically win that Q also on the scoreboard.

Bottomline if we don't fumble twice and commit idiotic penalties that game is a squeaker and the country thinks UNC is our equal and not our Daddy.

Yep we got punched in the mouth and just responded too late. Had wobbly legs the whole 3rd, recovered in the 4th but it was too late

You forgot the int inside our 30 that led to 7. I counted a 17 point swing and possibly 21 if we score a TD on the drive with the fumble snap.

Yea but the odds are kinda crazy there, drive started at the 14 compared to parrish literally in the endzone, bain sack inside the 5. I get u tho it’s another wasted possession

The problem w/ the “what if” game is no one takes in to consideration the ramifications that can be had at the other end of the spectrum. For every action, there’s a reaction.

What if Parrish scores and we recover the fumble on Maye? Does UNC give up those late TDs to make the score closer now that they are coming from behind?

The only tried & true what if is the GT game b/c we completely controlled that outcome, but the mental gymnastics being done last week is merely conjecture & a form of a coping mechanism (aka: the popular, non-dictionary word copium).

We’ve been doing this after every close loss for a while. It’s time to move on to Clemson, & HOPEFULLY this team won’t get in its own way and beat a very ?able Clemson squad.

****, we did this in mannys` last year saying we were 2-3 plays from being 10 wins lol. nah you are what you are. we were a 7 win team. thats it. we were a 5 win team last year. does it matter that we should be winning more based on the talent profile of our roster? yes. that goes back to coaching and development. we lacked that for so long. guys come in as FR and look great but dont ever improve.

good teams find a way to not play the what if game. they just win.

****, what if we dont get the pick against BC in 2001 and they score? well, they found a way to prevent that. what if VT catches the 2 point conversion in 01? they found a way to avoid that bc good teams do.

there isnt a team on earth that is unlucky for an entire season short of injuries derailing your entire season

You new here?

No, of course not. This program is ******* cursed. Did you just get back from the moon?

You think we're allowed to have our freshman all-american defensive end hit the opposing team's quarterback directly in the spine in his own endzone and OUR GUY get the ball?? LMAOOOOOOOO. **** all that. They got an offensive lineman for that, he just picks it clean off the turf and gets upfield for a few yards. 2nd down, bro. No problem.

You think when our quarterback makes one of very few bad decisions he makes all night that their linebacker is allowed to drop the ball? **** NO, HOMIE. That dude climbs the ladder like a young Randy Moss and plucks that bad-boy right out of midair. Nevermind we didn't have an actual wide receiver make a catch that good in 12 games last year, pay no attention to that.

Their QB is also awesome. He doesn't make mistakes. Hang on....I'm getting something in my ear. What's that? Oh...he did make a mistake? He lofted a ball into double coverage on his own 20 yard line? Wow...well what happened? We picked it off and returned it for a touchdown? No!?!?!?! Why the **** not?! Ohhhhhhhh....our safety batted the ball down as our corner was about to catch it and jog into the endzone. Ha ha ha ha, no problem!!

The universe hates us. Period. It's all that ******* troll Donna Shalala's fault. When you tear down the Orange Bowl, this is what happens.

Bruh, this is almost literally word for word (I don’t cuss lol) what I said outloud to myself on Sun morning…

I won’t EVER give up on this team but I feel like you just wrote. Salute

They do where it counts these days. Which is at quarterback and receivers. And also running back. Plus they just in general outplayed us. And their OC was way more dialed in than Dawson. Plus he had lance right where he wanted him. We never adjusted to the tempo. Not once. We were always late lining up. And that hurt us

You're talking to someone with no reason. In one hand he says they aren't more talented, but on the other hand they were more talented at all the positions he believes we aren't or weren't recruiting well.

Better coaches 100%, not sure UNC has better players.

Maybe not as an entire roster, but they have some key matchup advantages (WR vs DB being glaring).

Also, don't fumble the ball when going into the endzone.

I dont remember that being the narrative going in. Their players certainly are developed better.

The might not have been the narrative from most on the board because most of our fans hadn't watched UNC at all.

I repeatedly said for weeks that UNC was going to be the toughest game we play.

Go check the Joel Klatt & GTech vs Bowling Green threads.
