I’ve said this before, but you can’t beat Carolina Blue. The stands are filled with folks wearing that color for a reason, and I don’t know why it needs to be changed. I’m not saying that the dark blue didn’t look fine, but it’s Carolina and we should wear Caroline Blue at home!! Of course, if we keep winning ballgames I don’t care if they wear pink…

We will have to go back to the archives, but does anyone remember my prediction / wish that UNC change their jerseys to navy? They looked sharp yesterday.

It’s going to be 10x easier for Butch to get to the BCS title game at UNC than at UT. The ACC is rebuilding quite well, but there’s no way you can compare that to the SEC East at this point. UF, UGA, and AL every year? Good luck.

I don’t think Davis will leave UNC for Tennessee. He’s on the verge of turning UNC into not only a respectable program, but one that could consistently compete for an ACC title.
Of course I thought there was no way Mack Brown would ditch us for Texas, but money talked then. Would Baddour counter offer if Rocky Top comes after him heavy?

Andy is correct that these last three games are winnable, but I am leary of Maryland. You never know what you’re going to get with them. They are capable of stinking out the joint, but they are also capable of playing quite well.

I wouldn’t take Dook lightly either. I haven’t seen them play, so I don’t know if they’re any good. But their record is so much improved over what it has been in recent years that I don’t think we can count on playing the same dog of a team that we’re used to. And it will be at their place.

This is not what I wanted to see this morning:

I was kind of shocked when I saw the final tally for rushing yards, but the only number that should matter at the end of the game is that we have the larger number on the scoreboard at the end of the game. Yards mean nothing unless you can punch it in, and Tech obviously had a lot of trouble doing that.
I hope they don’t lose focus over these last three games; we win out, Virginia Tech loses at least one, and it appears we’re in the ACC title game. Please, oh please, let’s not have another repeat of 1996; all we had to do was beat a UVa team we should have throttled that year (kind of like this year) and a late INT returned for a TD that took us out of Fiesta Bowl consideration.
These last three games are highly winnable. Go out and destroy them. And wear the dark blue jerseys again. That was a cool look. THF, when was the last time (if there was a last time) we rolled those out?

Sexton thought there was an offsides so he kneeled thinking there would be a flag making that play a freebie.

Can someone tell me what the heck was going on with that kneel down in the 3rd quarter on 3rd and long? Did Cam think the flag had been thrown, or were we trying some trickery with the hurry up punt unit? If he thought there was a flag, then that’s just a poor decision to take a knee since you’d have a free play. If we were trying to catch them off guard and quickly punt to pin them deep, then the officials ruined that by stopping play until GT got lined up. Just curious…

Great game, though. Boy, the sun was burning and my wife and I got burned good. We took one for the team! Pain is always less with a big win.
