I saw improvement tonight over the horrible OK State game, and the close UNC-A game. Our boys came up a little short, but considering how they have looked the last week or so, I'll take a second half comeback and a 7 point loss to the #3 team in the country. Michigan is loaded with talent.
Yeah, a win would have been great, but I think the team is starting to gel more and Gott is getting the kinks out.
I think they will be ready for conference play.
P.S. Indiana is wearing out Carolina like a pair of dime store shoes. *evil laugh* ;D

Effort and intensity for 40 minutes - that will have to be this team's calling card.
Nice touch going to a zone, they're going to have to tighten that up but I thought it was a nice touch.
GREAT heart and fight shown by these guys last night. Dealing with an even shorter bench, somebody MUST emerge as a good 12-15 min/gm bench player, along with Vandenburg (thought he did pretty good last night, too). Disappointed at the way Michigan jumped out to such a lead, but State made me proud the way they kept digging.
Longer, more intense, more consistent pressure.
Hit some damn FREE THROWS.
Stay OUT OF FOUL TROUBLE.
Much better feeling after this game than after the Oklahoma State fiasco.

hahaha! We may be small in numbers here, but we damn sure have the best conversations of any message board I've seen. LET'S RECRUIT SOME MEMBERS (or at the very least, get our other one's back from Troll City).

I'm for that - don't know how we'd do it, though. I do still glance thru the WRAL Sportsfan forums, but I keep seeing the same old people, getting banned and creating another ID, then lathering, rinsing, and repeating. When I got banned over there I tried to go back and make another ID, but I had just been using our e-mail address and it seemed like too much hassle for getting basically no enjoyment out of it. I miss having exchanges with TommyBrowninNC (State), jgunn (Carolina), kennywalters (here known as kdub, Carolina - don't see him in here as much as I'd like), bishop (Duke, I think), etc. However, I refuse to try and create multiple additional screen aliases to try and get back over there. They all know we're here. Hell, since he's one of mine, I'll say I miss TBK too (not SAC, though - just too much).  |

Yeah, I haven't been banned...I still might post something over there from time to time, but mostly I just read through. I dropped the forum link a few times, though  |

As annoying and frustrating as it is to deal with the childish trolls on the Sportsfan, I find it hard to leave entirely. Frankly, guys, the number of times I have dropped in here only to find nobody online and the latest post 36-48 hours old tends to make this my secondary sports site. Tommy Brown and jgunn are aware of this site - they may be members - but they may have reached a similar conclusion as they still post on WRAL most days. They just tune out the jerks like SAC and his ilk. Recently, I have discovered that if I really want to keep trolls out of a WRAL thread I can do it by posting on the ECU board of all places. I've had some pretty good conversations there, and a few newbies have emerged as well. I'd love to see them all here. But I hate to tout this site only to have somebody check it out and find a ghost town. |

We're working on it, Ken. Tizzy, Matty Ice, and Yours Truly appear to have "re-committed" to the ACC Board here lately. Tell Tommy, jgunn, and the rest we said hi.

We're trying Ken. There's only so much me, Tiz, and Marty can talk about between the three of us. Thanks for not giving up on this board and stopping by every once in a while. I could post more topics than I do, but I feel it's better to have relevent conversations about a few topics, than have multiple topics about nothing.
We'll get this place populated eventually. It's just going to take a while. I've been through this scenario before with a car club message board. It'll be just a few for a while, then for some reason or another, membership will explode and it'll be very busy. It'll happen, just be patient.
