Perhaps, but no bowl at all is worse.I’m sorry to say this, but getting in a toilet bowl is no big feather these days.

We had an Allen transfer to UNC. Was that him. Also McCollum who fumbled.One of the best parts of the end for me was Geoff leaving an obviously injured safety (Allen #29) in the game despite the fact he had a timeout left. Next play Jamal outruns the poor kid who limps to the end zone. Typical Geoff idiocy.
Tell that to GeoffI’m sorry to say this, but getting in a toilet bowl is no big feather these days.
I thought it was neck and neck between King and Pyron going into last year? Did Pyron forget how to play QB?By now, if the coaches thought Pyron could throw the ball, we would be seeing it.
I’m concerned we don’t have another QB on the roster who can do the entire playbook. Hope I am wrong.
Glad to win today. It took a “special” UNC coach to make it happen.
Go Jackets!
We'll win >6 this year IMO. And remember where we've come from, just a short while ago. Taking over from TFG, Brent Key is now 16-12. I'll take it.I’m sorry to say this, but getting in a toilet bowl is no big feather these days.
Mayo Bowl?I’m sorry to say this, but getting in a toilet bowl is no big feather these days.
If Pyron can’t throw it well enough to be trusted I say go with Phillio. Hasn’t taken a snap this year so he won’t burn his redshirt. Unless he got some garbage time vs vmiI’m glad we won, but the 4th Quarter metldown still happened and can’t be swept under the rug. The continued questionable(politely saying it) game management is only mounting in concernment and the offense continues to look stale and predictable.
Our defense is not awful. The offense and special teams put them in some bad positions. The run defense is quite good, while the pass defense is still probably below average. They got lucky on some drops, but the defense also forced turnovers and made (mostly) timely stops. They even managed to hold it together to force a FG at the end.
Birr is simply not reliable. Our Special Teams unit has not been boring this year. We’ve gotten blocks and onside kicks, but also given up touchdowns and missed a lot of kicks. They are a roller coaster ride. I’d rather just have a boring special teams that’s consistently OK than whatever this is.
That brings me to my ultimate point. This team is so inconsistent. It feels like it takes a quarter for the offense to wake up every week. The only thing consistent about this team is its inconsistency. That’s worrisome. We are 5-2. That’s our best start this late into the season since 2014. It’s very possible the inconsistencies are growing pains, but there have been enough head scratches this year, that I can not say I have full confidence in what we are doing.
Lastly, we need King healthy, but if he’s not, we need Key and Buster to trust Pyron. We have put ourselves in position to have a pretty nice season, but our margin of error is razor thin, especially against 3 of our final 5 opponents.
Yeah they didn’t call any of that stuff on ours. Fair, no reason to tilt the outcome unless it’s egregious, then they call the sling OOB and I throw thingsDid anyone else find it odd that
Plenty of people do the muddle huddle...refs choose when to call it...like late hits...cheap shot on Pyron OK...flow of play tangles on sideline...flag
Post of the year! Thank you now I can smile at least.I think I peed in my pant on Jamal Haynes last run , or I could have spill my beer.
At my age I’m pretty sure it was pee.
I saw him throw the ball when he was a freshman backup who had to start. He did a great job. He can throw and should have been allowed to in this game. From AI: 2022 (True Freshman): Made a huge splash as a true freshman, despite appearing in just three games and making two starts … Amassed 692 yards of total offense (565 passing, 127 rushing) and five touchdowns (three passing, two rushing) in just three games … Completed 49-of-82 passes, good for a team-best. Did he forget how to throw?By now, if the coaches thought Pyron could throw the ball, we would be seeing it.

This is so sad. I hate it for his family. Remember, it’s just a game. Things like this are way more important. Praying for his family.UNC just announced that Tylee Craft (#13 the kid with cancer) passed away this afternoon. RIP. Way too young.
Which makes not getting at least there so ugly.I’m sorry to say this, but getting in a toilet bowl is no big feather these days.
Think he took a couple of snaps.If Pyron can’t throw it well enough to be trusted I say go with Phillio. Hasn’t taken a snap this year so he won’t burn his redshirt. Unless he got some garbage time vs vmi
We won. Quit yer b*******. Good teams find ways to win games like that. We did, they didn’t.
Yes, we made a bunch of mistakes. We’ll clean those up this week. I’m more concerned about King.
