[...] what you’re thinking, how can Tar Heels fans complain about media bias, but she’s getting serious heat from the likes of TarHeelFanBlog. [Dinich] is either too incompontent to do her job as the chief blogger of ACC football for ESPN [...]

THEIR D line will play in the NFL? We probably have, at minimum, 4 pro prospects on our D line depth chart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they all make it. Blake is that good. Look what he did for UNC in last year’s draft. With one year of coaching.

She has a mad crush on the Jackets.

I made the mistake of listening to most of Bomani Jones’ show this morning on 620AM. His guest at 11am was HD. After reading all the comments above, I had to listen to her segment. At the end of the interview she listed her current top 5 in the ACC. UNC was #5 coming in behind both Techs, Wake and FSU. Wow.

Between listening to the two of them I probably lost 10 IQ points. You are right to stop reading/linking to what she posts on her blog.

That would be pretty cool to beat Notre Dame. It still, along with USC is about the biggest name in college football of all time. Carolina has had a few teams that only lost one or two games during a season, but we don’t have many wins over the big boys like USC, Oklahoma, Alabama or Notre Dame. One time we beat Miami–remember that music video from a few years back?

In my opinion there is a “moving of the goal posts” with UNC. Every time UNC wins a big game which has happened in three of the past four weeks, people suddenly tell you the team UNC just beat is not as good as we thought they were OR that team simply did not play well OR that team gave the game away. In other words UNC’s wins are not products of talent, coaching or a great performance but rather because the other team fell flat. And if UNC beats ND, the reaction will remain the same.

All right, we can all agree that Heather Dinich is a no-talent wench. But I do have a serious question:

Why are pundits like Dinich and J.P. Giglio continually holding the Va Tech loss against us? It’s not like we lost at home to Navy or something. Both HD and JPG cited the VT loss as a reason to question our top 25 credentials. Given the cirumstances of that game, does it at least not rate an asterisk?

FWIW, it’s not that I completely disagree. I actually agree with JPG that we are in the 25-28 range, especially given our QB situation. But I do not agree with his reasoning, A win over a 4-1 Notre Dame team, our 3rd straight over a team with a winning record (when we played them, anyway) and the general strength of our schedule would make us legit top 20.

As I recall you were really pissed because the people doing the disrespecting were over at Basketball Prospectus and doing so under the guise that it was unbiased and based wholly on the stats. You were right however.

I remember last basketball season when I got so P*ssed about Tyler being disrespected, but I guess I took that more personally because he is an individual and I felt that he was being unfairly taken to task.

IC tells me that Heather went on the College Gameday radio show today and trashed both UNC and the ACC as a whole (and apparently said that Michigan State would beat UNC by two touchdowns…), so I think your sentiments about her are pretty much on, THF.

I don’t know if anyone else did, but I actually read some of the Big East blog. You were dead-on THF. It was filled with praise for UNC, much more so than the ACC blog. That said, I noticed it too seemed to focus on two to three teams and ignore the rest. I think that’s just the price that’s paid by only having one person cover 8-12 teams.
