I wish we didn't have to wait two weeks for Carowhina's next loss.

I think you have a typo in... waaaaaaiiit! I see what you did there.

On the bright side no chance they win this week.

Unless Mack gets fired

Let them. That will be the world's worst search. Not good to do midseason, unless they are going to tap another retired geriatric.

Hey, don't knock retired geriatrics. Just sayin.

They are great people, but I don't think they make the best college football coaches.

I don’t know - like some others on this board, I am a coaching legend in my own mind with an unblemished record at the college level.

By all means, I ensure the tarheels hiring you for many millions of dollars. Please hire me as an assistant.

We can make the tarheels great again.

funny as that is to contemplate, if they did fire Mack, there would merely be an "interim" coach hired now.....

NC State at California 3:30 pm ACC Network

I'm sure these two teams will be intense opponents on the field Saturday, but right now, it's nice to see the Golden Bears and Wolfpack unite for a worthy cause:



I took the image from this social media post that had some adult language. Here's the clean portion of its text:

FUN FACTS from the #Calgorithm to kick off NC STATE LOVE WEEK!

FACT: NC STATE broke ranks with UNC to cast the DECIDING VOTE allowing CAL to JOIN THE ACC!

FACT: UNC voted AGAINST CAL and wanted us to "DIE ON THE VINE"

On the Cal sign, #FMB stands for Fire Mack Brown. (At least I think the F stands for Fire.)

Funny but true: I entirely agree with #FMB if you read it one way, and entirely disagree if you read it another.

I’m in the “give Mack Brown a lifetime contract” camp.

 

[CameronBornAndBred]

Tonight's game with BC and VT should be worth watching.

The downside to that is UNC won't be able to hire me and my revolutionary punt on first down offense and all nose tackle defense. Actually, forget that. My offensive and defensive schemes may be an improvement.

Why would you sign him to a 18 month contract?

(Too dark?)

I miss those 9 man plays that Fedora used to call. You know your schemes are invincible then. We're talking sleeping giant territory there.

Yeah, Mack is probably the median age of DBR posters. We hope to last more than 18 months.

I was very wrong. 21-0 Hokies, still 12 minutes to play in the 1st half.

 

[CameronBornAndBred]

28-zip at halftime. So says the boxscore...I wouldn't know otherwise because probably like every BC fan at the game, I tuned out.
