and on the other side of the road in chapel hill we have the following:

Quote :

"cornerback Jabari Price apparently forgot his team's talking points Monday. "We're not really getting no respect," said the sophomore, who missed the first four games of the season because of a hand injury. "As you can see, we're 5-1, and we're still not ranked. ... In order to make a statement to the world, we have to show up and eat at the end of the season, right here, right now. "... We talk about it all the time. You see teams like Virginia Tech, they're 5-1 but they're ranked. Obviously, being ranked is not a big deal to me, but it shows a sign of disrespect to me, personally. I feel like we're one of the better teams in the country right now, and we're playing like it." "

lol at his comments. it's pretty obvious why they're not ranked...they've played one decent team (GT) and lost. and they barely beat bad Rutgers and L'ville teams. UNC is not that great.

...but i will talk about it constantly.

Also, Stanford is #7 in the country and has played nobody too. I mean you could argue Duke is the best team they've played.

" the somewhat surprising 5-1 Tar Heels have yet to sell out any of four home games. Hard to know for sure whether that's a protest vote, but UNC sold out four of six home games last year."

They don't realize that their "protest" is just making everyone laugh at them.

If Mustafa isn't coming back yet, i really am starting to wonder if it'd just be best to redshirt him. Hopefully Washington will continue to build on his last two games.

A few weeks ago i rewatched the GT game from last year, and I'd forgotten just how good Mustafa could be, that was a great game for him.

10/14/2011 12:23:39 PM

^I agree, we're already half way through the season. If he's going to miss another couple of games, might as well save him for an extra year.

good to see we are getting healthy again.

10/14/2011 2:14:34 PM

man, i really hope mustafa can make it. but yeh. if he can't make it then redshirt him.

10/14/2011 5:02:08 PM

i think we'll be up by a TD in the 2nd half this week, TOB will put the defense in cruise, and we'll end up losing to Bye for the fifth time in a row

10/14/2011 6:45:16 PM

^I HATE when that happens!

10/14/2011 6:46:15 PM

No UVA thread yet?

10/16/2011 5:05:36 PM

UVA - W
FSU - toss up; L
UNC - W
BC - W
Clemson - L
Maryland - toss up; W

but you never know with NC State shit. We looked a lot better against CMU and with guys returning and starting to get rhythm this doesn't seem like an overly optimistic prediction.

UVA got lucky with GT and had close wins otherwise. FSU lost to really good teams and has crushed the softies they played, plus it's at home so I don't see us winning this one. UNC may be out for blood but we have home field advantage and it'll be hyped up in our favor. BC is weak - we should pull that one in. Clemson is gonna cut through us unless they get some injuries. Maryland got slaughtered by Temple but we never play well at College Park but should pull it out by the end of the season as long as we don't have any more injuries.

Bye week discussion:

Had dinner beside TOB down in Charleston on Friday night. Scratch that...I was ordering wine while he was finishing up desert. He's an early bird diner. My waiter friend said he tipped well.

10/17/2011 7:03:51 AM

shit, I left Taylor Gentry off the list. He missed the CMU game. But I think he'll be back this week.

10/17/2011 10:26:13 AM

Mustafa Greene is taking the redshirt.

10/17/2011 1:03:52 PM

^came here to post that, although all i've seen is that giglio apparently tweeted it.

10/17/2011 1:15:40 PM

I was one of the optimist for this year - hell even my realist vote was optimistic with what we've done thus far. Now my realist vote is for no more than 3 wins the rest of the year....I hope like hell that doesn't turn out to be optimistic as well...

10/17/2011 1:17:45 PM

10/17/2011 1:18:15 PM

So Taylor Gentry is not on the injury list, and he's not on the depth chart....

Same thing with Sweezy

I almost ran over TOB last week as he was taking his lunch time job around CF.

Couldn't decide if that would have been a good thing or not.

^^i assume you meant lunch time jog

10/17/2011 2:51:24 PM

damn. basterts switched my 'b' and 'g' keys.

although, he'd probably be a better food vendor around CF than coach in CF.

"Early injury buzz... could be a while before you see J.R. Sweezy, Jeff Rieskamp, and Taylor Gentry back for NC State. Huge losses."

WTF? Did Sweezy re-injure himself and I thought Rieskamp was supposed to play this weekend. FUCK THIS SEASON

10/17/2011 3:15:57 PM

^a source or link or something other than quotation marks would be nice.

here is some info on the situation...not much mentioned about sweezy from a quick scan

10/17/2011 3:39:12 PM

Wait who were the idiots saying we are better than duke this year on page one.

Just wanted to call you out for being wrong.

We are the worst team in the ACC this year by a good margin.
