They seem to think the suspensions will "galvanize" the team to overcome this latest adversity and show on the field what winners they truly are. Seriously.

UNC and ECU boards are melting down after their debuts. Fun reading!

So this is from IC talking about going to Cal:

Quote :

"Unfortunately for BKS we’ve taken little care of preserving the natural surrounding setting. They ruined the Kenan forest feel & continued removing tree around the Belltower. Not to mention the hideous mismatch interior facade with brick & stucco walls. Just bland & generic, IMO. I’m affraid that the campus’ newer buildings are becoming more & more brick computer designs to the point we must’ve hired the same firm that designs the commuter school in Raleigh."

I hate to be the one to point this out to them, but the architect who has done almost all recent work at UNC and NCSU is the same firm based in Chapel Hill. And two of the four architects including the principal architect for all stadiums and sporting projects went to that commuter school AKA UNC-Rawlee! So yes, the Wulfpeckers have designed all of your buildings on campus for the last twenty years. Your welcome.

"Another noteworthy tidbit I didn't know is that admissions effectively turns down >60% of candidates presented by the athletic department on spec. I wonder, 1) what the stats look like for that subpopulation, and 2) how other schools compare in this regard statistically and procedurally"

Quote :

"I know someone being recruited by every ACC school in the conference. He wants to play in NC due to family and girlfriend. He is likely going to sign with Dook because he will likely have to prep a year or minimally take a full summer load if he signs with UNC. These are his words, not mine. Admissions standards have changed at UNC and our recruiting is being affected by it. He also said that Louisville's acceptance requirements were lower than anyone's in the ACC"

10/21/2018 9:58:47 AM

this thread is about why they should leave the ACC for the SEC, it's too chock full of gems to even pick out the highlights

Maybe unc should drop their admission level to the point this mouth breather could get in. Although correctly spelling donor and fedora would probably put you in the 95th percentile of their student athletes

my god they actually did it

11/26/2018 10:21:04 AM

Wonder how real the possibility is of:

HC Mack
DC Chizik
OC Kingsbury

11/26/2018 10:23:54 AM

It's a shame Fedora couldn't have coached them forever.

11/26/2018 10:25:09 AM

I would be scared of Kingsbury but DD put up 28 and 34 on chizik

11/26/2018 10:27:28 AM

^^^possible i guess. but chizik has already been their DC and he wasn't exactly the savior their defense needed. granted, a lot of that can change with a different HC.

and kingsbury...maybe, i feel like he could get a better job elsewhere as OC.

[Edited on November 26, 2018 at 10:28 AM. Reason : arrows]

Kingbury should lobby for nfl oc

Also mack gets to open vs south carolina with 4 defenders suspended for one half

11/26/2018 10:32:18 AM

I could see Kevin Sumlin try to hire Kliff to be OC at Arizona if Mazzone leaves.

11/26/2018 10:34:33 AM

geographically, kingsbury has only ever coached in Texas. no real reason he couldn't make the move to the ACC/UNC. but he just seems like a southwest/west guy to me. idk.

11/26/2018 10:46:10 AM

I think this will be a win for NCSU

I think with the success of mahomes this year, Kingsbury will get multiple options as an OC in the NFL.

If he actually does go to UNC, I would legitimately be worried. He's a hell of a play caller.

11/26/2018 1:41:12 PM

not IC, but their SBNation site has this in their post game write up

ahahahahaha damn

11/26/2018 5:25:15 PM

guess the NCAA/ACC did as well since they suspended four of them and three of us. pretty sure I saw one of our guys ground and pounding one of theirs at one point, though.

11/26/2018 5:34:49 PM

Oh yeah, our guys definitely got in their licks as well and warned that suspension. Just thought it was funny how salty and skeptical the writer was being “according to Twitter I guess Carolina players might have started it I guess if you trust the tweets anyways”

"I expect recruiting to turn around almost immediately. Not saying we'll be top 10 nationally this year, but we'll at least beat out our instate rivals (and it is pathetic that we ever didn't). I'd expect us to return to Butch levels of recruiting next season."

11/27/2018 5:31:05 PM

yes please recruit all the marvin austins

11/27/2018 6:02:57 PM

Recruiting almost always picks up when a new coach comes in. Because the old coach was most likely fired for sucking, so they probably weren't recruiting great...and the new coach can sell their vision and sell playing time and sell themselves as the shiny new object. That's not unusual at all. But...their recruiting hasn't been *that* bad...this year's class is not looking good (currently 66 on 247). here's Fedora's classes prior to this current 2019 cycle

2018: 20
2017: 29
2016: 32
2015: 28
2014: 30
2013: 28
2012: 41 (put an asterisk here because he was hired in 2012, so 2013 is really his first full class)

That's not elite level talent, but recruiting in the top 30 is pretty solid for a program like UNC (or State) that isn't a perennial winner. It's hard to justify doing much better than that on the recruiting trail without results and history to back it up. I know a lotta people say that Fedora didn't have great relationships with the HS coaches in NC, so I'm sure Brown will be an improvement there. And depending on who the staff is, Brown is capable of recruiting better than Fedora. But to say Fedora wasn't bringing in solid classes is not true.

Also...they were recruiting great when Butch was there. And all they had to show for it was some 8-4 seasons.

Mack Brown recruited really well at UNC. He apparently had great relationships with the NC HS coaches. He also had the benefit of State being meh (and undergoing a coaching change between Sheridan and MOC), Duke being mostly ass (coaching changes as well), Wake being mostly ass (underwent a coaching change as well), App State being 1AA, Clemson was good at the beginning of his tenure but just meh by the mid-late part of his tenure, VT playing in the Big East and not as big a threat at the time, South Carolina was not good at the time. All those schools (and more) recruit NC heavily. Now, usually UNC and Wake or UNC and App aren't going head to head for recruits, so I'll grant that being less of a factor. But the fact is, all the schools that recruit the state of NC heavily, except for Tennessee, are more stable and flat out better than they were in the 90s during Brown's peaks at UNC, and in the case of Clemson - they might as well be fucking Alabama at this point. Recruiting for Brown won't be as easy as it was in the 90s.

On top of that, Mack Brown has been roasted repeatedly for missing on guys like Johnny Manziel, RG3, and Pat Mahomes...he didn't even offer Manziel, although he thought he'd make a good safety, he did offer RG3 as an ATH (likely a DB or WR), and apparently didn't offer Mahomes either but liked him as a DB.

"From 2005 to 2012, more than 180 quarterbacks from the state of Texas signed with Football Bowl Subdivision schools. The 2013 class will push that number to at least 204. You'll recognize a few of the names in that group. Andy Dalton. Matthew Stafford. Christian Ponder. Then there are the rookies: Griffin, Luck, Ryan Tannehill and Nick Foles. They're all NFL starting quarterbacks. Only Stafford and Griffin were offered by UT."

And I usually roll my eyes at this stuff, but what the hell. Mack Brown obviously benefited from the academic fraud at UNC...that won't be in place this time around.

According to IC, UNC's loss to Michigan wasn't a loss to a better team. It was because Roy was trying to make a point. He doesn't care so much about wins as he does teaching his players valuable lessons. So this was a moral victory for them.

"KK was a very good hire. NVST plays solid defense and has some guard play. If NVST gets recruits AND KK stays, they will be a top 25 program. Can't really say too much negative given a very good win tonight, except the rest of their schedule has been weak."

Is this a typo? Or is NVST some new nickname they have for us?

12/20/2018 2:44:06 PM

Doesn't seem like it's ever been said there before.. But to type it wrong twice is weird

12/20/2018 8:51:00 PM

^^ Some of those cucks over there call us envy state for some reason and think that's what that idiot was trying to accomplish. Anyhow, seem like they're salty because we finally got a good coach. Before they were saying we haven't played anyone, now they're saying we don't have no road wins. They're right, we don't have a credible road win like against the mighty wofford. I wonder what those dimwits will be doing on new years eve, maybe they can tune in and watch our bowl game because that's right, their football team mustered 2 wins.

12/21/2018 1:41:17 PM

of all the terrible nicknames they've come up with, envy state is actually one of the better ones. Moo U? that's lazy....every ag school across the nation gets called that. NCSUx is just lame. phonetically it makes no sense because it's...NC Sux. so that's a hilariously stupid self own at worst and at best it's just kinda dumb. Wuffies isn't terrible, but it's also not terribly insulting. Envy State is actually pretty decent...it makes sense both when typing it and when saying it out loud (unlike NCSUx). it's actually an insult, which immediately makes it better than Wuffies. And it's original, which is a hell of a lot more than you can say for Moo U or Cow College.

12/21/2018 3:11:46 PM

yea, envy state is actually a pretty decent burn. I wouldn't call what I feel envy, but its probably a similar vein.

12/21/2018 3:40:39 PM

12/21/2018 10:03:22 PM

Waiting for everyone to wake up on Christmas morning, and decided to subject myself to some holiday bullshit. There's a discussion about State basketball actually being a threat right now, and someone said no need to worry because we'll get taken down by infractions. Here's one guy's take when a State fan said UNC got away with years of cheating.

Quote :

"The Heels weren’t fortunate at all. The classes weren’t fake (despite what Dan Kane “reported”), no NCAA rules were violated, and the Heels suffered through 7 ridiculous years of NCAA investigation and the negative recruiting that came with it. Lolstate just straight up cheated by directly paying for players. Will the fack even have a basketball program after lolstate gets the SMU treatment?"
