I guess that's a fat chance, but wouldn't it be great to get your cupcakes and rivalries too?

I make no apologies for expecting a lot more out of this team as we have one of the all-time greats at Carolina, choosing to come back for his senior year to hopefully finish the job, and 3 others who had a potentially valuable reality check. the inconsistencies we show are more disturbing when factoring in the experience difference is my point...but hopefully, that will begin to turn....turn, or burn. more to the point is, we are experienced.

You also have Dino Gaudio who is still learning the ropes being a head coach in the ACC.

GO HEELS! DESTROY THE WUSSPACK!!! c michael, GREAT CALL!!! i’ve been telling anyone i know that wake is going to get their share of losses. they’re too young and they’ve not been consistent all season. i just didn’t expect it from GT.

People seem to be under the impression that Wake is the new fab five. Our team two years ago was younger. Hale is a senior. Smith, McFarland, and L.D. Williams are all juniors. Johnston and Teague are sophomores. Wake has several freshman big men, but I believe only one freshman starter. Their guards are all seasoned players, and are on average, past their junior season. The Wake is young excuse is not going to wash that much longer and I doubt it carries a lot of weight with their fans now. They are not actually all that young.

Their youth is very evident in the sense they do get up for the Duke and UNC games but are flat for VT and GT. Assuming Dino keeps that team intact they will not struggle with that next season though does anyone believe Jeff Teague is coming back next season?

Wake Forest has. That is a pretty good ticket for leaving the NCAA tourney early. Carolina has not struggled at all with teams of mediocre talent levels. Wake Forest has.
