^lol as far as BC, if the defense gives up two bootlegs in the fashion they did, they deserve to be scored on. It was an incredible job by Russell Wilson of capitilizing on penalties, but until we can start getting more pressure on the quarterback, our zone defense is going to get exposed. I attribute alot of it to BC's offensive line, but either way, it doesn't look good for us. Maybe after the bye week we can plug up all the holes on the sinking ship and make a game of FSU. After that who knows, i'm just kind of glad I don't have to watch us play them next week.But yeah I agree as far as the VT game went. TJ Yates going out sucked, but when you have two receivers as talented as Tate and Nicks, any QB should be able to throw to them. It also wasen't Paulus's fault that the defense for UNC went into complete meltdown mode in the second half of that game.How do most Tar Heel fans feel about the raise last year though. My girlfriends dad played football for UNC in the 80's and he seems pretty pissed about it whenever I bring it up. Do you think it's because he was getting lured away by Arkansas or just because Baddour saw potential?[Edited on October 5, 2008 at 5:02 PM. Reason : .]

^^ I mean how do most fans that are higher up feel about it. Are 4 wins worth the raise? Most people would say no, that's why people are under the impression that he used Arkansas as leverage. Does he receive another raise if somehow the season takes a turn and they go 5-7? or 6-6?

^Where are you gettin 80,000 capacity for Kenan? Everything I've read says 60, or are you saying after the future additions?
10/5/2008 5:46:59 PM
I just looked it up - kenan has 60k, smith center has just under 22k.After the addition kenan will have a little over 70k seats.

^ I agree with everything except Qb play. RW is playing lights out this year and has really made us more competitive than we should be. It's our lines that are really hurting us right now. Against shotty offensive lines, our defense has played well (clemson, SC -4th quarter). But when we've faced decent offensive lines that protect the QB (USF, BC), our zone defense has been lit up. Our O-line is mediocre at best and is only blocking long enough to let RW find somewhere to scramble.also
10/5/2008 6:27:23 PM
^^you seem much more level-headed than your compatriot, but if you think QB play is what is hurting us right now then you haven't watched us play very much (unless you're talking about when Wilson has been injured). Wilson has been very effective for us when he has played, he's only thrown 1 INT so far and ran for/thrown a number of TDs. Our defense is what's letting us down at this point, they gave up 428 yards passing to BC's QB[Edited on October 5, 2008 at 6:32 PM. Reason : .]
10/5/2008 6:30:52 PM
I agree Wilson is better than Beck and Evans but he's hurt a lot and is still completing less than 60% of his passes. He doesn't make some of the huge mistakes the other QBs do though and his scrambling ability is a huge asset with a poor O-line. I still think Glennon will ultimately pass Wilson on the depth chart in the future.
10/5/2008 6:36:43 PM
^no doubt glennon will see plenty of starts. as you said, wilson can't go 2 games in a row w/o an injury
10/5/2008 6:41:52 PM
^^ granted, but the poor qb play can't really be attributed to the qb in this situation. The whole reason we redshirted glennon imo was because our Oline couldn't block for him.

leave it to UNC fans to fag up a thread

^ as much as you insult Wolfpack fans, it may have done you some good if UNC hired an NC State engineer to actually keep your facilities working lol (loudspeaker acoustics, lights randomly cutting off, etc.)

national exposure is important. Ask somebody in nebraska, vermont or regon what they think about each program.
10/6/2008 12:22:19 AM
I think most of college football has been clusterfucked the last few weeks this season.On a side note, I like Oregons uniforms.
10/6/2008 12:34:35 AM
the only thing i read during this thread was the fact that UNC will have 70,000 seats after expansion. Damn......thats gonna be alot of aluminum
10/6/2008 12:39:21 AM
^ LOL thats awesome!They are supposed to have luxury box seats etc but who knows what will be approved and finalized.I really cant imagine some of the stadiums the power house teams have. 100 - 120k people? DAMN!

who has unc played? mcneese st, vt, miami, rutgers, and uconn- I mean, their schedule has not been that hardweve playedSouth Carolina, w&m (yea i know, just listing them), #15 ecu, clemson, BC, and #14 USFOur schedule has been much harder than unc's, of course they are going to have a better record. I dont see how wut really has much to troll on.
10/7/2008 12:27:05 AM
^exactly. UNC hasn't played anyone.
10/7/2008 12:33:26 AM
The fact that UNC is in the clearly weaker division should also be brought up.....If you want to argue that look at NCSU last year.We went 3-5 in the ACC. 0-5 against the Atlantic Division....3-0 against the Coastal Division.
10/7/2008 12:34:46 AM
sagarin has unc's SOS as 23rd and yalls as 29thjust sayin....
10/7/2008 12:35:52 AM
^ beat me to it
10/7/2008 12:45:29 AM
^^that doesn't mean they have played tougher teams so far, just means they have a slightly tougher schedule overall, according to Sagarin of course
10/7/2008 12:47:01 AM
10/7/2008 12:51:42 AM
ah ok, i was thinking this was like the preseason SOS type thing, do you have a link to the sagarin SOS I can't seem to find it?
