CarrollCavs78 10 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Mark it down boys. It's gonna happen this year i just know it. With Butch Davis and a really strong recruiting class UNC is due up for a huge HUGE HUGE turn around. Dwight Jones (UNC's new WR, 4th overall in the country for those who didn't know) Is my pick for Freshman of the year in the ACC. Hopefully Davis is smart and goes ahead and starts Mike Paulus over Joe Daily. All i can say is i'm pretty pumped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 UNC to win the ACC? Maybe in basketball... UNC will be much improved this season but Bunting left the program in such disarray that it will take Butch a couple of years to turn things around...

[/ QUOTE ]i'd say they'll be better than people think, if that recruiting class is as good as advertised freshman could come in and make a difference, look at what WVU did 2 years ago when white and slaton were freshman, they were the leaders of the team in their 1st seasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone came out and said Tech would win the ACC none of you would have been like Ha! you're an idiot. Carolina's in the Coastal division which was won by GT last year who lost calvin johson. I'm willing to bet that the won't be so hot this year. And Tech is always over hyped so i'm not worried at all about them. All UNC needs to do is win 4 or 5 of their acc games and have a shot at finishing first in the coastal division. so basically, don't call me an idiot just because i have high hopes for my team.

bluefieldRocks 14 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 UNC winning the ACC {football) championship? Highly Doubtful. But then and again, if you would have told me Wake Forrest would have won the ACC before the season started.

Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Mark this down and save it. Carolina football has a better chance at winning the football crown than Dook has at winning the basketball crown.

[/ QUOTE ] They are also in the Coastal Division with Virginia Tech and Miami...Miami was down last year but they will be back with Randy Shannon at the helm. Ga. Tech went 7-1 in the ACC last season...UNC winning 4 or 5 of their ACC games might get them a trip to San Francisco, Boise, Charlotte, Nashville, or Orlando after the season is finished but it won't get them to Jacksonville for the ACC Championship game the first weekend in December....

[/ QUOTE ] He was just arguing the point that they were not a "crappy" champion that year. They had a great season, and were a few breaks from having an even better season. I dont think the point of his post was to argue that VT should have been national champs. You all need to read a little more, and stop jumping onto every one for making a good point.

[/ QUOTE ]well i was just playin anyway, i saw them play live several times that year...and on WVU's part, we had a different coach then, that was a different era, under rich rod we've had back to back top 10 finishes, back to back bowl wins and back to back 11 win seasons, and ugh they prolly wont suck to bad this year with 2 heisman canidates ya know what i mean cuz...so i guess u could talk about the nehlen era all u want, but as of late u could say in morgantown times are a changin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Been away for a little while, but figured I'd respond to the claim that UNC might win the ACC. Short answer: no. Here's how I see it going down: Virginia Tech: 11-1 (7-1) Virginia: 10-2 (6-2) Miami: 8-4 (5-3) [tiebreak] Georgia Tech: 9-3 (5-3) North Carolina: 5-7 (3-5) Duke: 2-10 (0-8) UNC will be better than most might realize, but are a year away from bowl contention, and at least 4 away from any feasible conference shot. But they will have one. 7 ESPN Top 150 recruits this past year (unless this is Butch Davis's work, I'll never know how this transpired). The other oddity on this list is UVA. Might be bias, but I doubt it. Ponder these numbers: Returning starters: 19 (1st in ACC) Offensive: 9 Line is as strong as ever, returns all starters. Jameel Sewell will be effective if his wrist heals (early reports are positive). Questions abound at wide receiver, since Kevin Ogletree will miss the entire season due to a torn ACL. Also, if Mike Groh can learn not to call a swing pass on EVERY 2nd down, good things might happen. Defensive: 10 All but Marcus Hamilton will return. Chris Long is an early All-American candidate, and Jeffrey Fitzgerald at the other end anchor a great front 3. Linebacking corps, although not the most heralded, return with much experience, especially tackling leader Jon Copper and third-year starter Clint Sintim Questions abound for the secondary, which has never been the most rock solid. That could hurt. Schedule: September 1: at Wyoming September 8: Duke September 15: at North Carolina September 22: Georgia Tech September 29: Pittsburgh October 6: at Middle Tennessee State October 13: Connecticut October 20: at Maryland October 27: at North Carolina State November 3: Wake Forest November 10: at Miami (FL) November 24: Virginia Tech Notice how the three hardest opponents through the first ten games are all at home (GT, Pitt, WF). Virginia's averaged a .750 mark at home over the past 5 seasons. Virginia has managed to be, well, inept on the road, but let's look at the opponents: WY, NC, MTS, Mary, NCST. All are winnable. Two are coming off awful seasons (worse than UVA's), one just gained D-I status, and two will be at the bottom of their respective divisions. Call me crazy, UVA could be 10-0 when they roll into Coral Gables. Losses in the last 2 games create the 10-2 mark, with a 6-2 conference record. Looking at all the other schedules (ESPN), one can justify feasibly the records I wrote above. Call me crazy, but this is how I think it'll shake down.

Hokies4Ever 23 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 I was saying that how can you consider a team a crappy champion when during that year 2 of there 3 losses were against no.1 and no.2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
