Thr 2001 team looked like

[Swampcity]

What funny is guys come on here thinking that this team is underachieving! Newsflash this team is overachieving!

Our team is playing with a backup running back and freshmen wrs, a career backup as a QB etc. Richards and Barrios are the only experienced skill guys from last year and really wasn't the go to guys on that' squad. I love our passion as fans but boy we are a delusional bunch.

Here-Here!!

**** too against BC. Forget what anybody says in college a win is a win. We didn't have a good game today against a team who had nothing to lose, and a team with nothing to lose is a dangerous team. A Fake field goal, a halfback pass, going for it on 4th downs. etc etc. We grew up a little bit today due to the adversity no matter how ugly it was. And we will be ready for VT next week. Bank on it!

Your Argument is as Flawed as a Steer attempting to impregnate a Cow. BC was no Slouch in 2001. For years, folks have been using the 2001 BC game to discredit the greatness of the 2001 Canes. Today, WE PUT THAT RIDICULOUS ARGUMENT TO BED FOREVER.

Facts:

1. In 2001, BC was not 1 - 7 (like UNC) when we played them. BC was 6-2.

2. In 2001, BC Lost 4 games (Stanford, #6 V.Tech , #1 Miami and #22 Syracuse).

3. Combined record of the opponents that beat BC: 41 - 9 Average: 10.25 wins. Only Stanford (9-3) failed to win 10 games.

4. 3 of BC's 4 losses occurred on the Road. The only team to beat BC at Home in 2001? You Guessed it...The Canes.

5. Each team that beat BC finished the 2001 season ranked in the Top 25 of the AP/Coaches Polls.
Miami: National Champions
Syracuse: AP #1 4 Coaches #1 4
Stanford: AP #1 6 Coaches # 17
V.Tech: AP #1 8 Coaches #1 8

6. BC finished the 2001 season Ranked: AP #2 1 Coaches #2 3

Again, BC was not a Slouch in 2001. They were a quality team that you had to beat, even on an off day. So, the next time someone mentions that the 2001 Canes struggled against a poor BC team, educate them of the facts.

So, OP, comparing the UNC game or any other poor performance to the 2001 Canes v. BC game is unintelligent.

what a mistake coming into this thread - horrible analogies, continued mis-use of "hear hear", criticizing our current team, etc.

I disagree. That backup running back is just as good or better than Walton. That Career Backup QB has balls of steel in the Clutch. You will not find many Starting QBs balls like that. I am good with the Career Backup QB. Richards and Berrios are not the only experienced skill guys from last year. Herndon was a valuable weapon too. Even if they were, does it matter? We have skills guys now!

Plus, Miami doesn't have to over achieve to beat BCU, Tolelo, 2-5 FSU (Rivalry), GT, Duke, Syracuse and definitely not a 1 - 8 UNC.

I think you have been Goldenized. Seek Help.

And their leading rb was out that game too...

That was one game, not almost every single game they played (in fact they thoroughly blew out two top 15 teams that year).

Perfect. We got 2 coming up in November

Solid point.

Also solid point.

You can always identify the young or unknowledgeable fans by comments like this. There was nothing bad about BC in 2001.

Dumb comparison. Miami had 5 turnovers and still won by 11. Miami dominated the game despite weather related issues against a BC team who's offensive line had 2 future pro bowlers and a 1st rder. That was one game not 5.

what about clemson last year?

they won 8 one possession games last year. Were their fans ing the whole time?

FSU in 2014 won 9 one possession games before going on to win the title


it does not matter how much we ******* win by

 

[BigDikCane]

We're more like the 98/99 team that turned it around....

 

[jakeman1]

Maybe the fact that VT is actually favored will get them focused.
