[QUOTE="CuseJacket, post: 280888, member: 274"] Just got caught up on the thread. Lot of interesting ideas here. Frankly I am glad that we finally have a discussion... it says a lot about the energy coming back into the program. A few additional thoughts re: how are we 2-2. First, I want to acknowledge how unexpected and impressive the results are thus far compared to my expectations. Preseason I set an ACC over/under of 1.5 wins, thinking that the 1 or 2 wins would be anomalies in randomly catching lightning in a bottle, let alone convincing/no doubt wins this early. This was 90% due to the roster inherited. Hopefully we can keep the momentum. We should expect a few more real duds given our offensive limitations. Hopefully that doesn't dispirit the team or recruiting. I'm inclined now to think that CPast won't let it happen, but there's still a long road to hoe. A few other random things to throw into the mix [LIST] [*]We did not take UNC's best shot. Let's not kid ourselves. We still earned the W though. [*]For that reason, in a way beating Clemson was more impressive to me. The Tigers brought energy, and we brought more. [*]CJP mentioned this in the postgame presser and it's worth reiterating.
