So you are a Carolina fan, and the administration knows this, if Carolina goes to the SEC they will be below Vandy and you and I both know I’m not kidding, they have not been the greatest and basketball lately either. It would be an absolute disaster for Carolina to go to the SEC. Look at SC, they may finally have something this year but they left the ACC in what? The 80’s? What have they done in the SEC in 40 years? That will be any ACC school that goes to the SEC or the Big 10 and they know it. Especially Carolina, they have nothing to offer the SEC, we already know that Clemson and FSU has been denied by the board, they couldn’t go if they wanted to…where would they go?

The ACC is the third beast conference in college sports taking in all sports, there’s a reason SMU and cal come to the ACC. They will not dissolve. Some may leave like Maryland who has had zero success since leaving Clemson, FSU, Miami and / or Carolina would all be stupid to leave and be the 4th or 5th best anywhere else and never sniff a playoff birth again. The ACC will not be gone in 3 or 4 years.

Not going to happen

What a great week of football. The ACC is going to be a tougher out for teams than last year and I’m glad to see that though I was really hoping for a better record against the SEC rather than a but Clemson sh!t the bed. Miami found a D and the offense can still score points, they are going to be dangerous. People can say what they want about Alabama sucking this year but they are still one of the most talented teams in the country with 5 star players all over the field and FSU ran all over them. Clemson will bounce back for sure, Duke has a legit QB but no defense, last years Miami? GT has a tank at QB, they are going to give teams fits and there are more teams worth mentioning but fudge all that typing. If Carolina can look good tonight, I’ll be feeling really good about ACC football this year! Side Note: Coastal is going to suck again under Tim Beck

I don’t know the kid looks fast to me and he is tough as nails! He takes a beating every game he is in but bounces back.

Once the offense really gets in sync I think they are going to score a lot of points this year. Even in the first half they had opportunities to break the game open and just missed it. The D on the other hand needs some work which surprised me.

Na, don’t need the distraction IMO. Bryce either sucks or swims with no outside excuses. Not like Howell is a savior in the waiting anyway. panthers need to stick to their guns, either keep Adam or get a 3rd. Edit: sinks or swims, not sucks

No but they just picked up an additional 3rd the panthers are asking for

5 Im glad football is back but after the embarrassment that was the browns pre season game where our starting D made Sanders look like a serviceable NFL QB, I lost hope again for a successful Panthers campaign this year. I do hope I’m wrong!

Great

So I didn’t get to see the game today. Did Bryce suck? Why do we have this thread?

I don’t know, I’m kinda worried. Did our starters score 7 points? Yes, but went 3 and out, wasn’t it, on the first drive against second and third stringers. The touchdown was against the same group but come on, first stringers did not look good to me at all. I felt like the oline struggled, Bryce did ok, defense was lacking albeit missing a couple of key players and special teams was just…special. Preseason is preseason, I get it, but I refuse to get my hopes up this year especially after what I saw Friday night. 10-30 against the browns 2nd stringers and down does not instill confidence in me.

We got to see he has a pretty mean 1 2 punch though

2 and 3 string, they are resting their starters

Is it to early to start worrying yet?

It is good to see them out doing these things together. It will make playing together mean a little more for each person as they build those bonds. I really like what I’m seeing about the team in the off season and it’s starting to give me way more hope and excitement than I want to have!

The latest pitch I’ve heard about is the SEC and the B10 requesting (requiring) 4 auto qualifiers each when they move to a 16 team playoff format…crazy if they get what they want

You are supposed to leave us guessing and say Google that poo

Year 3, all the talent around him he could hope for…YES

I miss you lol

The problem with it has become the fact that the disagreements there, which has nothing to do with sports, bleeds over to the sports forums and results in name calling and the likes, making it personal.

And this whole time I thought 4corners mom just finally turned off the internet!

This place didn’t use to be just a message board though, back in the day several huddlers would actually get together and tailgate at the games. Several huddlers know each other through those and we all shared one passion, the Panthers. Nothing else mattered. That all changed in this new world we live in.

Dan seems to be more comfortable in press conferences these days

Overall a solid B! Just because an A is the easy way out! We needed both offensive players and I love the D they picked up
