The Path to 8-4 for Tar Heel Football

Only 2 games into the season and my predictions are already wrong.

I thought the Heels would be 1-1 at this point with a chance to beat Va Tech coming up in Chapel Hill. In this case, I like being wrong.

Carolina will either be 3-0 and have a lot of momentum behind them OR they will be 2-1 and right where I thought they would be a month ago. A good young team on their way to an 8 win season.

I don't think the game against Rutgers can really tell us how good these Heels are but it does tell us that they are much more aggressive and confident this year. Va Tech doesn't seem to be their usual self this year but that was expected. If we beat them we will have pretty good confirmation that the program is going in the right direction.

If the Heels beat Va Tech then you would have to say that the Heels could possibly win all of their remaining games. That won't happen but I don't see anyone else on the schedule who is way out of their league. Uconn looks good and Miami has talent. Maryland got a good win. But those games could go either way.

Things change fast in college football so we don't know which teams will start playing better as the season goes on. Right now it is still very possible for the Heels to have that 8-4 season.

And I would be one happy Tar Heel.

How LOWE Can You Go?

by MrTarheel

Remember the great enthusiasm of the Wolfpack faithful last year?

Sidney Lowe was back in the ACC ...fresh off his unsuccessful stint as an NBA coach. Looks like Sidney did well last year with "Herbivore's" players!Now that the team is more "his" he seems to be struggling a bit...the team plays with the confidence of a Duke football player. Their teamwork is similar to a last place NBA franchise....( maybe that's what Lowe has brought to the team ).

I predict great things for this State team.I firmly believe they can bring the program back to the level of the Les Robinson Days. It was a comforting feeling to always know that State would secure the bottom spot in the ACC. I think Lowe can take the program there again.

The scary part is how the State fans will react. They have placed so much confidence in Coach Lowe that I am fearful of their reaction. Many of them have relatives in the "distilling" business so driving on the streets of Raleigh may be a little dangerous going forward as they drink a little more to soothe their pain. It won't be long before we hear them talk about how Carolina always gets the All-Americans so they should win ( that's not neccessarily true- see the Matt Doherty era ). Coaching makes a difference!Luckily, the wolfpack fans have their All-American Bass Fishing team which is the envy of the college world.

I for one support Coach Lowe.

His red jacket is colorful and he confirms what many Tar Heels already know....If you can't go to college, Go To STATE!
