I’ll kick the heals while they are down. Surly the product of my sinful nature, I enjoy the pain they are rightfully suffering.
What I will not do is measure any success by the isolated failure of another.
How different would it look if that former Habersham Central QB at Georgia Southern scores to put them up for good? Or maybe the odd play from the Great Pharoh of Columbus County against Syracuse, how different would that game have looked minus the pick six?
Did State improve?
Yes.
Were they playing weaker competition at the end of the season ?
No doubt.
Does anyone outside of North Carolina measure their bearing and worth based on what goes on in chapel hill?
Nope unless you are seeking to committ fraud.
And finally, I have lost my glasses but I could swear that I read something about a State student transferring to Yale and somehow chapel hill was not involved.

State beat the lucky sperm club (wake forest), Syracuse, and the tar holes; hardly the basis to proclaim a resurgence of State’s fortunes. Close as a pubic to Monica’s lips, the Pack was awful close to dropping a game it had in hand the other night.
There is a constant I have observed during my long suffering as a State man: State measures it’s success in context to the failures of the holes. I would suggest that ending the mental symbiotic relationship would be a healthy first step. Measure success and failure in objective rational manners, stop equating chapel hill with the base line for improvement. Measuring against the holes only deepens the paradigm they sought to impose long ago, they are the beginning and ending of all things.
Simply hope that they cease to exist.

Highstick,
He can’t be all bad.
At least his parent(s) gave him a name that can be pronounced.

COWDOG,
I’m with you. I just put that out there to bring some realization to the young folks that the world is a bit bigger than Wake County and what State is up against if they want to build anything.
The idiots at Georgia just roll in another class of dummies year in and year out. They get the cream of the crop here since they have ZERO competition for attention and they put kids in the NFL. The babbling masses down here are treated to UGA this and UGA that and every half brain dead doofyus can mouth GO DAWGS. Christmas time can cause quite the stir……..what to get little Johnny, another UGA pullover, another hat, MAYBE CAMO this time………..it is unc on steroids except the fans are more dense, less intelligent, and more plentiful.
State has a hard road. Lots of coffee and tobacco would help, canning the good old boy network would help and maybe a trip or two around the country to see how people do it right might help.
Gurley could have played in front of 60,000 in Raleigh (where it takes 2 hours to get out of the damn place) or he could have played in crappy Athens in front of 92,000 of your best friends (and it takes me 25 minutes to get out of) where the pre game intro is professional as hell and showcases great moments in UGA history ( yes, run Lindsey) as well as the 30 guys they have in the NFL.
The choice was too easy just like it is for any out of state school when recruiting against North Carolina State of the fake rock tunnel and the growling coyote University.
Merry Christmas CD.

They no doubt promised him plenty of playing time. Not far behind that item you can be sure he was given a view of the network of unc connections. chapel hill has always been an ease sell, certainly much easier than State and much of that has to do with long term name recognition.
FYI: there is no sleeping giant in North Carolina concerning college football. Living as I do in Georgia and sitting in seats held by the in laws since the 1950s at UGA (35 yard line, opposite end of the train tracks, 15 rows back), the mountain is too high to climb for any NC school to stay good for very long. The potential fan base is too diluted, the exposure for talent too limited, the stadiums too small, and the casual fans simply will not stay with a team that MIGHT be a 8 to 9 win team every 6 years. unc beat this trend in the 90s by having the state title games in high school football moved to chapel hill and creating a false degree program.
Trim NC down to 2 or 3 D1 schools and I could see the talent level rise but that is not going to happen.
As always I expect State to be State; ignoring the fans, missing opportunities to jump unc, Clemson, and Tennessee and always putting on a cheap display at the stadium. The folks that follow State are GRADUATES of the school. Get outside of NC and you will understand the hurdle that any State coach faces.

*lifetime of seeing it in action so if any millennial generation nerds or Buzzy Correl suck UPS don’t like it, stick it.
