    Optimal Season Outcome... for UNC. (alt topic: John Wayne)

    I have frequently said to UNC fans that I encounter that my ideal UNC season would include them winning every game except 4 - all four losses to Duke. That's two regular season games, the ACC Championship, and the NCAA Championship. I feel that such a season would be such an utter dominance of a really good team, that it would establish a degree of supremacy and constitute the greatest season in Duke history.

    In contrast, I derived relatively little pleasure from the Coach D'oh years. Watching your rival flounder about makes it far less satisfying when you obliterate them.

    How do you feel? What is your idea outcome for UNC this year - or any other year?

    The D'oh years were pretty close to my optimal outcome-- winning just enough games to keep their fans engaged, so the losses hurt that much more. Thereby giving their fans maximal pain.

    Although now that I think about it, losing so much their fans become disengaged is pretty damn good, too.

    Roy forced to resign after his entire record at unc is vacated, followed by an Indiana-esque generation of turmoil. Seriously, there's a better answer than this?

    First one, then the other, then the other, then the first one again.

    Ouch. Kinda harsh. I know where you're going, but still harsh

    My take on UNC is the following: "hate em, but I respect em". I will never support UNC, never paint my baby boy's room baby blue, never give my kid the initials "MJ", never root for UNC, and never buy property in Chapel Hill. But I do respect their program. Until 10 months ago. Screw that - they can lose every game until they address their "student athletes"

    Why is this not a voting option? I might have to toot that whistle thing in the lower corner to address the injustice of this poll.

    0-27

    Lose every single game.

    How is there an answer other than this?

    Heck, I'm a big Kentucky fan when they play UNC. Same for UConn, let alone lesser evils like Michigan State, Indiana, Arizona or Ohio State.

    Utter failure. ol' roy implicated in cheating scandal and resigns in disgrace, all of his wins at unc vacated. Cheating scandal mushrooms, takes down basketball, football, and women's basketball, maybe lacrosse and tennis. In fallout, improper benefits surface, cementing finding of lack of institutional control. NCAA delivers death penalty across all athletic programs, unc loses academic certification.

    And 3 Sharknados converge over chapel hill.

    I voted for the fifth option, but my real vote is, get picked off by the SEC and we never hear from them again. As I've recently made clear.

    Swell, and I can't vote again. It's always the trailblazers who suffer the most....

    Marinated? Stuffed? Kennedy Meeks would like to learn more about these cheating scandal mushrooms.

    I went with Option 1. If I lived in an area with a higher unc fan concentration, I would probably have voted differently.

    In all honesty, if you could guarantee me a Duke victory, I'd gladly play Unc in the National Championship game and beat them. Either a blowout or last second game-winning should would be acceptable, as long as we win.

    We would have bragging rights forever.

    The rivalry is great as long the programs operate at high levels. I do enjoy the rivalry, even if I find the fans and head coach of the rivals to be insufferable arse-hats.
