The Carolina Lost So I Am Smiling Thread

[lawgrad91]

From Pat Welter.

The question we are all still asking is why didn't this work? I remember after their loss to Kansas in the national championship saying on air that all of the starters except Brady Manek could come back. After I said it I kind of regretted it because I thought I might be mocked, no way they'd actually do it, but then one by one they did. It was a perfect storm of low NBA draft stock, eligibility, NIL and unfinished business. The Tar Heels were preseason number one because their close game experience should have been an edge in a sport with so little continuity. Instead that experience turned into a weakness. There was no joy to Carolina's games this season, playing looked like a job or a chore, especially when contrasted with the enthusiasm and togetherness we saw locally in NC State and Duke.

I disagree. I was often very joyful when Carolina played.

Same.

Yep.

Drive home safely, Heels!

They get their hearts ripped out, losing with 1.8 seconds left to Ohio State.

No Sweet Sixteen for you!

I was sweating that one, as the Cheats took their first lead of the game in the middle of the fourth quarter, after OSU led by (I think?) 11 earlier in the quarter. But all's well that ends well, and a late win to seal the deal is even better. Make them think they can, then dash their dreams. Love it.

Now for Duke to take care of business tonight!

He should change his name to ={poof}=. Because he just did a magical disappearing act from Chapel Swill.

Please count Will Shaver among the c*rolina losses now as he's also entered the portalet.

Ahhh, see ya!

I’m thinking we should refer to any idiots who decide to join the rats on the sinking ship, as going to the porta-john.

Two things. First, say good-bye to D’Marco Dunn, who entered the portal on the last possible day.

Second, and more delicious….
