You would be correct. Given our recruiting limitations, 9 win seasons back to back would be exceptional.

Well, from a tackling standpoint you have nothing to fear from the Austins. They may not be exactly shut down in pass coverage but they generally put people on the ground with regularity. They have, what someone once called, short field quickness. They are good athletes who are experienced...

"I want Bama" After Tech's 1966 team had barely defeated Virginia to remain unbeaten at 9-0 with a top 10 ranking, Tech students chanted "We want Bama!" Dodd, being a reasonable sort, growled: "Maybe you want them, I don't" He knew the limitations of that team which under had labored so long...

Close enough, we will count it. Arkansas has won a natty.

Didn't know that for sure. I know that Arkansas ruined the 1968 Sugar Bowl upsetting heavily favored UGA that had won the SEC championship that year. That was the team that beat us 4o something to 8 in Athens. They were really good but not on that day. I did not know Arkansas had won a...

Come to think of it, didn't the "Mad Hatter" win a championship with them early on in his tenure? Don't know about UCLA either. Point being, to win a national championship you not only have to be very talented (which eliminates most of the power 5 schools) but also an element of luck involved...

There you go destroying my narrative with conflicting facts. Shame on you. Anyway, I guess he was trying to be nice even though UNC went up and down the field practically, as you noted, unimpeded by our defense.

He can't be serious. But then from an individual player's perspective, our defense may have been doing things that day that stuck in his mind as difficult to deal with or innovative or perhaps the player he was up against impressed him. Who knows? I am sure he had his reasons.

Well, several schools, most notably, Alabama, Miami, USC, Texas, and our own GT have multiple championships. I don't know off the top of my head but in addition to the dozens and dozens of schools like Iowa State that have never even sniffed a national championship and likely as not are not...

I voted "other" meaning somebody we could beat because I don't think we can beat any of those teams listed except maybe UGA and we probably would not be playing them in a national championship game anyway.

"green Dawging"? Oh, now I see the explanation. Ballin does it again with a clear succinct explanation in layman's terms (well mostly layman terms). Thanks to both you and Longest Day.

I desperately hope you are right. Coach Johnson is on record as saying quarterback is one position he is not worried about. Well, having four guys to choose from is a pretty good security blanket but my feeling (believe me that is all it is) from watching MJ in two games is that he seems to...

Respectfully, I must take issue with your conclusions. A Navy offense on "roids" is probably not in the cards. I don't see MJ as being a true distributor in the way you do. He will run the ball more often than not. I hope to be pleasantly surprised to see him wheeling and dealing with more...

Double post, sorry.

Anything that is unfortunate to the well being of UNC can be rationalized by the simple expedient that they got it coming.

Good. I hope he is taking Dedrick, JJ, Benson, Qua, Cottrell, and Clinton out to dinner and working overtime with them. Come fall they will be his best friends. That is, if he wants to stay in one piece.

Depth has a way of doing that for coaches. Somebody not getting the job done? Put someone else in. See how simple coaching can be when you have depth?

You should be concerned they were our best two players on the front seven. If we do not dramatically improve on defense this year we are in trouble. For years we have gotten by with out scoring, out scheming, out this that and the other with smoke and mirrors. Time for the defense to step up.

I am shocked that he carried the ball that much. If he continues to do that he is not long for this world. MJ must learn to pitch accurately and do a better job on the mesh with Dedrick. If he cannot do those two things get someone else that can. It is that simple.

Could be but he is faster and more apt to put his head down
