Nah, it's a huge win. This Duke team has less talent than the previous two that lost to UNC. A rivalry win is a big deal when it hasn't happened in six years, and when you overcame a 20-0 deficit to make it happen. Not saying Duke's more than a lower-level bowl team, but starting 5-0 and winning your rivalry game is an accomplishment. I left a party with them down 20-7 thinking, "well, at least they didn't get shut out," and my FIL hit me up with, "well, UNC blew it," and I thought he was kidding.

No one will care when they both finish sub .500 with barely any conference wins. Those teams suck. Everyone knows it.

UNC has sucked for years with a small handful of players keeping them from being atrocious. From Howell to Maye to Hampton. Take away those three players and Mack 2.0 has very few Ws.

I understand your frustration and your negativity, because there's every chance both could finish with 5-6 wins. However, if UNC overcame a 20-0 deficit to win 21-20, I believe some of your opinions might be a bit different.

Yes Milroe has looked GREAT tonight ... but I can recall a handful of Bama QBs who have looked great.

Which begs to question, just how the heck do you know what you're getting with a QB from an elite college squad?

You can never fully know. Burrow and Stroud threw to some of the greatest college receivers in recent memory and were at some of the biggest powerhouses. 

For Milroe, I'm on record here flying the flag for him being drafted by Carolina (maybe by myself or with one other). Other than Hurts, he's the most different Alabama QB has ever had. He's a threat with his feet and his arm, and while he still has growing to do, his ceiling talentwise and guts-wise is limitless. Everyone loves to see these guys overcome adversity too, and this guy had to fail and fight to be the starter last year.

We can't let the Bryce experience jade us from Milroe. If we're drafting a QB, he's the guy--especially in a keep-Dalton-and-grow-the-rookie scenario.

State and WF will be below .500 as well

 All 4 NC ACC teams bite this year.

Not really. Why would it be? I already know we sucked because we got wrecked by JMU. That told me all I needed to know. What you learned today is y'all are just as bad (well, exactly one point better). The state of college football in NC is at an all-time low.

Everyone knows I dislike UNC (their basketball program; love their academics) but they are really doing a disservice as a football program. I’ve always thought them to be a potential sleeping giant and stand by the concept that they can be dominant in football or basketball. Not both simultaneously.
 

UNC will reach a crossroads when they enter the SEC where they may have to choose. There’s no reason why UNC can’t be competitive in the SEC in football but it may come as a cost to the relevancy of their basketball program. They’ll either be Kentucky 2.0 or reverse prioritize their programs ala Auburn. 
 

It’s no secret the SEC wants to secure the Carolinas and their markets.

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.

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

DJU revenge game

Clemson 256

FSU 2

In other less exciting games...

Gamecocks lose by million

Colorado lose by a trillion.  To quote the great Cam Newton, who has Colorado ever beaten.  What game can they hang their hat on.  People don't even like Sheduer.  Reality is coming.

You can't help yourself.

 

People don't like Shedeur yet he's projected to be a top 2 QB. Cam Newton is showing up to his games dapping him up. Shedeur is a man of the people.

 

Jump on this bandwagon we can go places with you on our side.
