If they win the rest of their games are in the playoffs this game will be forgotten or used as the opening chapter of an inspirational redemption story…but that ain’t happening.

This morning I'm kind of in between being enormously amused and mad. I lean toward the former but definitely have twinges of the latter. It was amusing because only UNC football could find new ways to totally debase itself in such a Washington Generals-esque manner in front of the entire sports world, but it's also maddening because the bar was so low as to what UNC needed to do last night (i.e., simply show up and compete. Didn't even have to win. Just needed to compete) and we couldn't even do that.

I let out some unhinged laughter when Gio got hit and it was run back for a td, also when TCU ran a 75 yard td to start the 2nd half.
But hey at least Donald has the country headed in the right direction!!!!!! /s

so can anyone on here make the case for why unc shouldnt hire a young smart energetic div 2 or 3 coach pay him and staff 1 mil total and use the rest on buying the best portal players since cfb is nothing but pay for play. could a competent high school coach not have put at least a competitive team together last night? it makes absolutely no sense to spend that much money on a staff when it could be used to buy better players.

I was there for the fans turning on Dick Crum (I’ve never gotten over how ugly the Rams Club guys were at UVa after UNC lost there on my first roadtrip football game — the ugliness in the stands that afternoon about Crum was off the charts, I was embarrassed for the University being associated with those guys), then Mack’s 1-10 seasons while I was in college, not to mention living through the collapse of the Nascarl era, the Bunting experiment (when we thought we were going to hire Dick Vermeil) and the overstay and unpleasant unwind of Mack 2.0, I guess I am neither surprised nor depressed.
I am just used to UNC football being a tantalizing mirage, that handsome ne’er do well boyfriend who always has that next get rich quick scheme at his fingertips if I just believe in him and give him one last chance.
I am too old to change now, so I find I am curious to see how UNC looks at Charlotte on Saturday since I can compare how App State performed at Charlotte this past Saturday. I don’t have good expectations but I’ve done the ride along for every other train wreck the last 40 years, so why stop now?

Yeah, I am almost certain that we could have hired almost ANY college coach from amongst the ones in which we were rumored to have interest (at least until the BOT took the search away from Bubba- guys like Matt Campbell, Jon Sumrall, and Tommy Rees) and given him and his staff the exact same financial resources used to buy this year's roster, and that game would have been a lot more competitive. What we saw last night was a staff that was completely in over its head and clueless as to how to stop the bleeding. Cannot believe we are paying Bill and his sons $12.5M a year to look like Larry Fedora against East Carolina.
This loss has destroyed the football program and potentially ruined our chances to leave the ACC. We went all in on football. The rest of the sports will suffer. Nothing funny about it.

So the “giant” still sleeps?!?
There were some good jokes during the two Mac 1-10 seasons.
Why did the abused boy want to go to Carolina? They don’t beat anyone.
I recall betting on total score as victory wasn’t happening.
This all has a sort of “Groundhog Day” feeling for me.

I agree with this take. When you go all in and you bust out, they don't hand you another stack of chips. That was ALWAYS the danger of the Belichick hire. It was destined to be a spectacular success or an even greater failure. Unfortunately after last night, the results are likely already in. There isn't a player in the country who wants to be part of that and half the fanbase left as angry as I have ever seen them. Again, you can't milk people for the kind of money we did this year and then blow up so spectacularly without severe long term implications.

I don’t see how this particular loss destroyed the football program.

Good lort, this might be the most overly dramatic post I’ve seen about the game.
Take a deep breath. The sun has come up this morning. The world will continue on.

I would simply ask if you were in Kenan last night?
Were you there last night? Loudest Kenan has ever been. National media spectacle, recruits all over the place, pulled out all the stops to get MJ and Church and LT. All that so the entire nation could watch a team that couldn’t complete a forward pass. It is over. We may win a few games here and there, but that was our chance to launch ourselves as a “football school” and we blew it. We will never be taken seriously again.
The world will certainly move on without us.

No doubt the sun came up because football isn't that important, but there is no recovery from this episode as a football program. It doesn't matter what we do from here on out. This will ALWAYS be the memory and legacy of UNC football.
And then he left to go win a natty with Texas. He finished the job in Texas. Then, when he wore out his welcome, he returned to Club Med - Chapel Hill to retire. It’s not the popular opinion, and I realize his reasons for leaving involved the school prioritizing basketball over football, I get all that, but I’ll still never forgive Mack for leaving us high and dry when we were so damn close to being a national championship caliber team.
