THF – we need a link to Thee Blog somewhere on this page…maybe I can’t find it. Assuming it would be located in ACC Blogs. Sorry about the multiple posts…can’t stop myself.

On the plus side tonight, I can only imagine that the broadcast picked up “go to hell duke”. Having a nice opportunity to do that during the halftime show was also exceptional and perhaps a highlight of the game in terms of crowd experience.

I don’t know where Ron Cherry was today but it looks like we found a replacement and a crew that’s ready to set a new standard for ACC ineptitude when it comes to calling a game. They missed more holds on both sides than is really possible and went to extremes on many other plays. I’m just stunned at how bad the officiating can be in the ACC and it seems to get worse every year. I’m still not over the 6 second VT challenge reviews, just how can you execute that review so quickly?

Finally I’d really appreciate it if we could get a replay on every play, good, bad or indifferent. We have the board, we have the cameras and lots of good teams do it all day long. I’m really, really tired of this garbage. Step it UNC, you want to be a real program, you want a great atmosphere – I want something back.

All in all, it was a good defense and a decent offense with the run game tonight. A little nervous about the injuries but if we can pull it together and win another two games I’m pretty happy. hard to imagine that we have come this far without accurate passing. So many open receivers and so many overthrown balls, it’s really impressive that we can make the yardage. I do think that we are better than we look no matter how ugly the wins are week to week. 118 yards from Lewis is amazing, negative 4 yards of rushing – wow. The lack of discipline is my least favorite development, we can fix passing but you can’t win close games when you are shooting yourself in the foot all night.

Step your game up…go heels

I echo the concern about Draughn. Hopefully, he’s got a big bruise or something…….. Houston was certainly a bruiser today,no doubt but the Heels need both guys.

As for TJ, WOW, I kinda feel bad for the guy, because it’s my observation that he’s become a head case. Miami will stack the box making the Heels pass the ball and I don’t think the Heels can run around Miami at the corners either.

Kudos to the D for a fantastic game. The end of game personal fouls were just crap. I think the Dookies learn to draw penalties just like the other team over there.

I do think Barth might have gotten over his problems. He was great from 40 in tonight.

Ryan Houston is the Man. Passing game is still … well, we don’t have one. When the defense is aggressive they are a joy to watch. (But I didn’t like the lack of discipline in the last 3 minutes). Hope Draughn’s injury is not serious(?)

not sure i understand why any starters are in with the way injuries have been happening all year.

this will be the 2nd part of the must have trifecta for me. ECU, Dook, then State. Win that last one and i’ll be happy, bowl or not.

yeah, i can see why they threw on 3rd and 1 two series ago. because Houston could NEVER gain a yard.

i dont enjoy ragging on my team’s qb, but win or lose today, Yates is the worst qb that wasnt the 2nd or 3rd stringer i’ve seen in 35 odd years of watching football.
never ever seen a starter at any level as inaccurate as he’s been this year.
to hear Lee Pace report that he is mad at himself, emotional, throwing extra on the sideline when the D is out because he’s mad at himself, all that is a sign of a totally lost qb.

Should be AT LEAST 14-3. I have a feeling losing Draughn will be pretty big since UNC relies a lot on those gadget/motion plays. As much as I like Ryan Houston, they don’t work the same with him in there.

Which reminds me, I heard a funny joke today:
Q-How do you keep the Tar Heels football team from breaking into your house?
A-Put a goal line and a goal post in your front yard.
