Even if the heavens parted and they get to our game undefeated and top 10 (When pigs fly or for that matter, when chickens fly), they will come crashing down hard when the Tigers give them another plucking. These people remind me of little boys playing grownup games, all dreams but no ability.

Proverbial ostrich with head in the sand. You know it's bad when SEC network crew calls for you to have a 4-5 win season.

That topic will be irrelevant in 9 days when NC State brings them back to reality.

After reading the thread, there are a good number of Carolina supporters that are trying to tap the brakes on that subject. Seems some of them are being reasonable and just want to get incrementally better each year. Not all fans are delusional on any team, and some are on every team.
I do not think that Carolina will have a good year. Just does not look like they have the talent yet. They do have some good players, just not nearly enough.
If you look at last year, there were a good number of teams we played with a lot less talent that gave us all we wanted, and one that beat us. That is why we play the games. Clemson should be in a position to contend again this year, but we have to play better than last year. I believe Bryant will be a really good quarterback for us, on the level of Tajh Boyd, but it took DW4 to pull out a bunch of games last year that the Tigers did not seem to play up to their potential.
This should be a really fun year for us. Hope to go back to the playoffs, but whether we do or not, it should be interesting.

Carolina? I thought the subject was USuC mediocrity? Why are you discussing North Carolina?

You do realize the team was sleep walking through much of the season. In games that mattered or they cared about they seemed to take care of business. I don't think SCar will ever get the luxury of playing a team that isn't interested.
7 post with terms like reasonable, yet, and good when describing SCar. Tread carefully my friend.

I surely do realize the team was sleep walking. It took the loss to Pitt to wake the team up so they played to their potential. With out DW4, I don't think we will have the ability to sleep walk and still win the games. If this team plays to their ability, it should have a good shot at the playoffs. I am hopeful that with our defense, we should be in all the games.
I did not say that all the Coots were reasonable, just some! Even a bad team can be dangerous given the right circumstance. Remember 2015? Really don't want a repeat of that.

You are correct. And there are several actual rational fans over there tbh. Harvard ####, King Ward and Jeff usually keep it grounded. There is one guy No no who has GOT to be one of yall, lol. He dings the program daily, and Manafold is either a Tiger trolling or the craziest dude since Sportssuites. Either way, I won't lie, I get a lot of laughs at their daily interactions. Besides, otherwise how would I find out about all our news and scandals, like New Spring, that Dabo is going to Bama after this year, and Brent to K State, etc.. lmao

Don't you have to START winning first? Or are they transferring WBB wins to the football team?

^ That might have to be a thing. Or they get a bit of a boost from Bass fishing. Equestrian dosn't count since only like 8 schools actually have a program, but every one has country boys who like to fish.
