Why do the majority on this board continue to live in a fantasy land?

[Canes Legacy]

OP has opened my eyes and I need to update my realistic prediction.


Canes by 50.

 

[Felonious Monk]

I swear there are people here who aren't happy we've got a shot at the defending national champs.

I'd rather test our mettle against Alabama than crow that we're 1-0 against some FCS team.

Grow a spine and don't be a fan later.

Alonzo Highsmith said it best. New day. New year. New team.

This used to make me put my head through a wall. Radio edit.

they'll never do what we did, the way we did.

@JD08 Back to our discussion, ^this is why I'm a ride or die Canes fan. Can't be replicated.

Upsets happen less talented teams has beaten more talented teams the game is not played on paper.. and we're FANS wtf wrong with yal??

 

[BlastUla]

Maybe you should give your “keep it real” speech to our team before kickoff tomorrow… Seriously, in a world where Temple can beat Miami, plants can eat animals, and the sky can continuously fall but maintain its altitude… you have trouble believing that Hurricanes can overcome the Tide?

With post like

Biggest Win since 2001
The Perfect Storm
So Are we Going to Roll
etc, etc, etc.

Alabama is the defending national champs and have had the number 1 recruiting classes for the last 5 years
Alabama is favored by 18.5 points.

Why do you create an expectation that comes from Fantasy Land? Keep it real. IMO, If we keep it to 2 TDs then we have exceeded expectations and build momemtun for the future when we play the ACC.

I've watched the patterns here long enough to know that some are actually setting it up strategically so that the anticipated bad result will pave the way for the glorious hissyfits they will throw afterward when their unrealistic expectations aren't met. They will rage that the coaches are trash and that we need to burn it all down and start over - throwing away all the positive culture changes, better recruiting and program momentum we have all because their golden goose hasn't been delivered RIGHT NOW.

Of course if we actually do much better than expected, they will no doubt show some loud positivity. A little like the benched QB who's just watched the backup throw for 5 TDs / 450 yds and pull the big upset. "You go Manny! Great game plan! ... clap clap. ... of course UNC is the only game that really matters...."

Same reason the spank bank was invented, I guess. Makes ya feel good.

 

[BisCane]

Even if we were to somehow beat em, I still wouldn’t think we’re the best team in the land.

 

[CanesOverHere]

I completely agree OP. I’ve been trying to preach that for a few weeks now.

However, I just arrived in the ATL and I’m completely ready to fight Alabama fans. My right hand is about to be flying. Teeth will shatter.

So who is taking up the collection to fly the banner this season?

 

[Macca21]

It's just being fans. People are allowed to be optimistic even if they don't really believe their team is going to win.

Logical, pay attention to this response.

Someone find IAmJJ’sB and get these two together. Hit record.

Point on this doll where the Miami Hurricanes hurt you.

How are you gonna post something like that but not put up the meme? I expect more from you @Go Canes!! C’mon dawg.

We all need Dale to set us straight…
