re: 2019 Football Season Thread (4-8, 3-5): Season Over

No doubt, tarholios, (and I call him that when we talk which drives him nuts) are a hubristic bunch. Biggest hypocrites in the world. They incessantly complain that we are cheating to take players out of NC yet deny their own documented cheating in the process while feeling entitled to all of our HS basketball talent down here.

I can already see the texts I'll be getting from him once the game starts. Never fails. "We suck. This is pathetic. We're a basketball school."

They really do drink the koolaid up there every preseason though.

BTW he told me they sold out all of their allotted tickets .... but I'm hearing differently. Heard they only sold a little over 10k and BoA and Belk got the rest of them back for distribution which are basically being bought up by our fans so we should outnumber them by quite a bit although it is not going to be a sellout.

Phil Longo, the UNC OC, replaced Werner at Ole Miss and they evidently know each other pretty well. He was at Sam Houston State before going to Ole Miss. Longo runs what he calls an "Air Raid offense" so we should expect them to try to sling it around quite a bit. Look for UNC to incorporate bubble screens, RPO rushes, and double post routes into their offense, something that our fans should be used to seeing by now.

That’s better than my UNC grad buddies
I work/worked with 2 of them and they don’t really care
Trying to sir then up is boring

Yeah, I've got a UNC colleague who just so happens to be moving down to Charlotte the Friday before the game so I'm going down there. He only moderately seems interested in the game and is more concerned with just having a good time with his buddies from both sides of the border. He may or may not go to the game if he scalps cheap tickets. Luckily he'll has plenty of real Carolina friends that will be there too.

ECU does have the cool pirate graphic, though. I'll give them that much.

Just for fun, as you can see Im doing Blue Chip Ratios and posted a thread on the main board.

SC - 32%
UNC - 18%

I was in Chapel Hill for our game in 2007 and the stadium was at least 50% Gamecocks. We didn’t get our tickets through the Gamecock Club and we ended up with some pretty good seats but were surrounded by UNC fans. The UNC guy sitting in front of me was dressed like he was competing for Preppiest Male and kept commenting to his wife, “The stadium is really loud today”.

I was in HS for that game.
I went too.
The night before was late night with Roy.

No one cared about the football game

Although don’t get the preppy jab. Is that a bad thing ?

Preppy as in 1980’s Ivy League look.

Sounds bad arse

I agree and due to that, I think the highest we would be is in the 40percent range, so we are doin pretty good.

Having a lower BCR and beating someone with a higher one is more fun though, as we can say things like "well we have better coaching" or "sorry you guys have a trash culture" and it really grinds peoples gears

Kentucky having 16 percent last year and doing so well makes Stoops look like a genius. So I'm ok with where we are knowing full well we are in striking distance of most teams.

I mean he kinda is though no? Guy has had 2 first round draft picks. 2! From Kentucky. And these were not blue chip recruits

Stoops has found a recruiting niche. He gets some gems that Michigan and Ohio pass over. Benny Snell lived a few miles from OSU stadium and grew up a Buckeye fan. They never offered. He got Josh Allen out of NJ. The problem Stoops will have is consistently getting enough of these types of guys. Just remember before last season, he was on the hot hot seat. Curious to see if he weathered the storm or just delayed the inevitable.

That second half began the downfall of our season
