HTTE, the question is, did any of those things happen? If not, then the coaches ought to donate 25% of their salary to charity, then get their butts kicked.

Well one thing is for sure. There is no way we can say that this season was any better then last season. Still got owned by UVA and NC State. Still lost our bowl game (and the SAME bowl game for that matter). Still didn’t finish in the top 25. Is some year to year improvement too much to hope for? Apparently it is.

note to everyone in football at any level.
kicking it deep when time is short MAY…MAY result in a big runback. if your coverage team stinks. it also has a decent chance of leaving the opposition 70-80 yards away.
squib kicking it WILL shorten the field almost certainly. it will NOT roll to the 30…20 without the returner, who LIVES to run, picking it up. it MAY go out of bounds on a squibby bounce (*gasp* i know, right!)
the chances of an up man touching/kicking/flubbing/booting the ball 40 yards to his own rear is fairly small.
short clock… give them a short field? short on smarts.

19th in salary, mmm, mmm-well, at least we know there won’t be another shake-down anytime soon.

i HATE it just sounding like namecalling, but i really have a hard time working it around to some other explanation.
i mean on the 47 yd FG attempt, every man, woman, child, fetus, dog, mouse, houseplant, line of mildew in the shower KNEW there was a very good chance they were trying to draw us off.
have they never seen this game played? at any level? there are hundreds on tv every year. check one out, fellas.
and you FELL for it. that makes you, well…DUMB. no, not excited. no, not trying to make a play. it makes you NOT SMART.
last thing the special teams coach should say is “watch you dont jump offsides, they may try to draw us. its 4th and less than 5.”
last thing the head coach should yell is “stay onsides!”
last thing the D captain ON THE FIELD should say is “watch you dont jump offsides. they’d get a 1st down.”
last thing you should say to yourself is “i better not jump offsides.”

Outcoached? Can’t say that for sure. Yates not being able to hit the broadside of the barn on the final drive? That’s for sure. Defense folding? Not really, but Cam Thomas should have a lonely ride back to Chapel Hill tonight…..
The offensive line is bad, and the receivers are young (except Little) and can’t get separation on a route to save their lives, but they still had a chance. Playing this “bad” and still having a chance to win the game is starting to get frustrating.

I am getting so tired of being so right about this exquisitely mediocre, underachieving football team.

HTTE is right; they do the EXACT worst thing in a string of scenarios that can only combine to make them lose. Look at the devolution of the last two games.

Heels fans have to start asking of the football program why Davis’ teams are 3-11 in close games (those decided by less than a touchdown). This is getting really old.

Predictable in EVERY way.

Choked again. Outcoached again. Defense folds in the 4th quarter again. TJ Yates does NOTHING on the final possession again…

probably 80 QBs in D1 that couldve thrown better passes in that last drive. some that dont even start.
