Well, wasn’t that special? I tried to share THF’s optimism in the game preview that UNC would want to finish this trying season on a strong note for interim coach Everett Withers and perform well in a de facto tryout for new coach Larry Fedora. Instead, Tar Heel Nation’s worst fears were realized when, after [...] Continue reading The Good, Bad, and Ugly Report: Missouri Ed. note: Due to unforeseen publishing delays, the GBU Report did not appear in its usual slot on Sunday. Apologies abound — Doc After a strong 5-1 start in the first half of the season, UNC limped home to a 2-4 finish in the second half, but at least ended on a solid note with [...] Continue reading The Good, Bad, and Ugly Report: Duke Ugh. A whirlwind of a game took place in Blacksburg on Thursday night with Carolina looking alternately like a pretty good football team and one that had barely seen a football. With a chance to put their boot on Virginia Tech’s neck, the Heels turned the ball over inside the 5 and proceeded to go [...] Continue reading The Good, Bad, and Ugly Report: Virginia Tech I sat down to write this Saturday night after the game, but the words just wouldn’t come. Nearly 24 hours later, I am still struggling to make sense of the State game. A week of unbelievable hype was followed by a stinker of a game that is still causing UNC fans to scratch their heads. [...] Continue reading The Good, Bad, and Ugly Report: NC State The reports of UNC’s demise were apparently premature. After three weeks of mostly substandard football that led to questions about what the rest of the season would hold, Carolina played arguably its best game since the season opener and blitzed a pretty good Wake Forest team, 49-24. For the first time in weeks, UNC looked [...] Continue reading The Good, Bad, and Ugly Report: Wake Forest Uh, this may be short on the former and long on the latter. I wrote a couple of weeks ago about how numbers can be deceiving when looking at football statistics. If you didn’t see the Carolina-Clemson game and I told you that UNC scored 38 points and Bryn Renner threw for 264 yards and [...] Continue reading The Good, Bad, and Ugly Report: Clemson Ouch. With the new AD in town, a mediocre division opponent playing at your place, and with bowl eligibility and a top-25 ranking on the line, UNC laid an egg against Miami on Saturday. The team came out flat, looked woefully unprepared, and were blown off both sides of the football. And still they had [...] Continue reading The Good, Bad, and Ugly Report: Miami Ah, the legislatively-mandated Kobayashi Maru game. A curse we share with our lupine brethren, UNC is forced by the General Assembly to play East Carolina on a semi-regular basis in a no-win scenario. Carolina (and State, for that matter) is expected to beat the Pirates, so a win is par for the course. But lose, [...] Continue reading The Good, Bad, and Ugly Report: ECU |
