This is looking a lot like the BC game. Outclassed on offense and defense with a kickoff return as the only bright spot. This is decimated so really not expecting much

If nothing else, this game should give Belicheck and his coaching staff a virtual checklist of everything that needs to be fixed for UNC football to move beyond the historic "6 to 8 win program with a lower-tier bowl loss each season" that we are. If Belicheck is really serious about transforming UNC football into something better, this game so far offers a great snapshot of what needs to get fixed.
 
I guess. It’s such a total rebuild I’m not sure you get much out of a few extra practices. Mack left us worse off than we were when he took over.

Because there is money involved and money runs all of college football.

No one turns down a bowl game unless there is absolutely no way to play.

I think we are losing money massively on this bowl. The payout won't even cover the team travel and housing expenses. Unless declining the invite cuts us out of ACC revenue sharing, declining would be financially advantageous.

I can’t imagine we’re making any meaningful money from the wasabi bowl.

We’re playing our role as part of the greater machine. That’s what you do to keep the greater machine rolling.

The issue here is that these lesser bowl games are meaningless and everyone knows it but no one is allowed to admit it. I don’t understand why folks are upset, we’re a 6-6 team who fired our coach, lost our OC, and whose best players are largely injured or opted out. We’re effectively playing an away game against a team excited to be in this game. This kind of result wouldn’t have been terribly surprising before we lost our only competent QB early in the game.

This isn’t a Carolina Football problem, this is a college football problem of creating games where at least one team has no real interest in playing and no incentive to show up.

We’re probably losing on this exact game, we’re doing pretty well in the overall “college football money” game.
 
It’s hard to overstate how pathetic and unlikeable the team was this season. I know we had players opt out of this game and the program is in a transition period, but the way they are playing today is just gross lol.
