Not saying they are but they were good enough to at least give Carolina fans ACC title aspirations. Coming out of HS only Jayden Daniels and Bo Nix were rated higher than Howell (Dual-Threat) and only Quinn Ewers, Caleb Williams, and Sam Huard were ranked higher than Maye (Pocket Passer). Neither were able to lead Carolina to an ACC title though some would argue it was because UNC could never field a defense but there’s no denying that the pedigree was there for both players to at least give Carolina fans title hopes. And my overall point was just that the UNC/Duke game isn’t as important as people are making it out to be and Duke winning isn’t that big of a deal. Historically UNC owns Duke in football especially over the past 15, 20, 30 years… however long you want to go back and my point was that Duke fans seemed to make the game bigger than it actually was. UNC is ass this year and Duke is better. Like I said, if this is as one of those years where Carolina was fighting for a spot in the ACC Championship game and we lost to Duke then of course I’d be pissed but this year… I couldn’t care less, UNC sucks and overall the football rivalry between UNC and Duke has fallen off drastically. There’s a reason it’s no longer the last game of the season.

Yet you spam the board over a QB that isn’t even in the league. You literally are the same person that you are describing.

UNC is ass this year… not sure why that even needs to be said. The best thing Duke can do for Carolina is be the reason Mack Brown retires.

Feel free to pick the timeframe of when and what you want to argue. It doesn’t matter as Carolina has consistently been the better program and the head to head record justifies that. And yes Carolina has been poo in bowl games, no argument from me there. But the gap is much wider. You can’t just look at records because UNC and Duke don’t play the same schedule but you can look at their conference records. I’m using 2010 as a reference point because this site did the majority of the math for me. https://247sports.com/longformarticle/acc-football-teams-overall-records-in-past-five-years-189889255/amp/ Duke’s conference record since 2010: 40-74 UNC’s conference record since 2010: 59-55 Quite the big difference there… And no where did I say UNC was competing for titles every year but at least over the past few years we haven’t been focused on just beating Duke, it’s been about making the ACC championship game. Obviously this year is different.

Finebaum has more inside intel than the majority of college pundits and honestly who gives two shits what he said about Deion. If you get butthurt because of a sports caster talking down about your favorite player/team then you might not want to step outside, the real world might be too scary and mean for you.

Comparing teams that were led by Sam Howell and Drake Maye to any team Wake Forest has fielded over the past 10 years is wild. Though Hartman did his best to make Wake relevant. Bottom line is UNC was expected to win their division and compete for an ACC Championship with those two at QB, saying otherwise is just being a Duke homer. Carolina is obviously not the same team without an elite QB and have a long way to go to rebuild the program but to think UNC fans had Duke circled on their calendars over the past 20 years is just wrong. NCSU has essentially become Carolina’s #1 rival in football because Duke has been so bad recently.

You’re right… the SEC’s most respected insider and pundit, Paul Finebaum states that UNC would be the SEC’s top target should they choose to expand again but I guess it’s all smoke and mirrors and you know what’s fact and fiction since your credentials consist of… *checks notes* posting on a message board. But back to the topic of Duke and UNC, if it’s your opinion that your team sucks if they don’t win a championship then why even watch sports… you are setting yourself up for a lot of disappointment.

Titles has nothing to do with it and I didn’t bring up how many titles any team has won as history from 50 years ago has no bearing on a team’s aspirations from just 5 years ago. You and your Duke buddy can continue to live in the past off of some ACC title that you won 30 years ago but bottom line is over the past 10 years Carolina has been the better program and has had title aspirations appearing in two of the championship games. Regardless of if Howell and Maye carried their teams, the thought doesn’t change that over the past few years Carolina thought they had a chance to win a title with those two at the helm and not one Carolina fan would tell you that their success hinged on beating Duke. Duke was just another game on the schedule. Being delusional is blaming the refs for your losses when Duke is 7-28 against Carolina since the 90’s.

With all due respect, no one gives a poo about who won the ACC in 1963. Bottom line is over the past 10 years UNC has been a much better football program than Duke and had championship aspirations when they were getting elite play from the QB position.

As a Charlotte sports fan (Panthers and Hornets), it’s been a breath of fresh air to see a guy not mail it in after getting a massive contract. Good for Hunt, he deserves every penny.

This is just an idiotic statement, specifically referencing the actual ACC Championship game that has only been played since 2005, UNC has been in that game more than Duke and NCSU… COMBINED. So yes, over the past decade with the likes of Howell and Maye at QB, UNC fans had much bigger goals than just beating Duke which they’ve done so on a consistent basis.

Rosy actually had really good chemistry with Aho and Jarvis in their preseason game.

So what’s everyone’s line predictions? As of right now I’m going with the below: Roslovic - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - Kotkaniemi - Necas Martinook - Staal - Carrier Blake - Drury - Lemieux Jost Slavin - Burns Orlov - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Smith Kochetkov Andersen Chicago/ECHL - Robinson, Trikozov, Nadeau, Unger-Sorum, Suzuki, Slavin, Gunler, Robidas, Jaaska, Brind’Amour, Ryan, Heimosalmi, Morrow, Stillman, Legault, Montgomery, Honka, Fensore, Seeley, Martin, Perets, Khazheyev Waived - Gagner, Grimaldi

UNC won’t be seriously competitive in anything outside of field hockey until they get serious about NIL.

Unlikely, UNC fans don’t even care that Mack has owned Duke because at the end of the day it’s about winning the ACC, not beating Duke. If your only focus is on beating your rival then you’ll end up content year after year like NCSU fans. Now if we were a playoff contender then I’d definitely be upset but this is just a bad UNC team that can’t be saved by Sam Howell or Drake Maye.

Huge point on the road against Miami.

The young Canes blow a 4-1 lead. RBA will use this as a learning lesson for sure.

They look like they don’t even care to.

Mack Brown really should have quit last week.

Let’s see who Freeze throws under the bus this week.

Mack Brown might have a stroke if UNC blows this one.

Canes lead 2-1 at the end of one. Jaaska puts one away on the breakaway just before time expired.

Got a tough one tonight followed by three very winnable games to close out the season. Would love to get a point tonight and then go on a run. Fourth is still in play if we can get 10 out of these last 12 points.

Canes pick up right where they left off last night. 1-0 just a few minutes in courtesy of Jackson Blake; assisted by Jaaska and Fensore.

Sometimes it’s just your day, everything going right for the Heels to the point that they are picking up first downs on blocked punts now.
