Zoo certainly has his points, and they're not lost on anyone here.
However, the Heels "seem" to be playing a little bit better... but is that saying much in the ACC this season?
Of course not. But, they are playing a bit better over-all and have an outside chance of going 8-4 (5-3).
A lot of folks on this board were saying 8-4 would be a disappointment, but others were saying 8-4 is the ceiling for this team and has been the ceiling for Tar Heel football (for the most part) for decades. A few 10 or 11 win seasons sprinkled in there since 1970 has been it. 8-4 is considered a "good season" for Heels fans. Like it or not.
My hope for this team is to finish 8-4, and go to another mediocre bowl game - a long way away from NC - and luck into a bowl victory finishing 9-4. I'd really like to finish off with a good taste in my mouth unlike the last 4 years.
Is that too much to ask?
Probably...
