Some old school poor-mouthing here. Channeling his inner Lou Holtz.

South Carolina feels good about themselves. Everybody’s bragging on them. Nobody’s bragging about us and we did pretty good. So the thing we will do is give Coach Beamer and South Carolina all the credit in the world. Everybody’s going to feel like they’re going to win the game."

Guess someone should tell him UNC is currently favored to win the game.

Read an article where Brown was touting the opening four games of the Tar Heel schedule as "one of the toughest" in 2023. :rolleyes:

His poor-mouthing kind of reminds me of a few years back when Clemson was preseason #1. They were talking about proving all the doubters wrong. I'm thinking "What doubters? You're pre-season #1." I understand the intent of poor-mouthing, but you've got to be more subtle about it. You can't say everyone's expecting you to lose when everyone has you favored to win.

It's what all the UGA players were saying after the second championship. One guy actually said "everyone thought we'd win 7 games" or something ridiculous like that.

Old Dabo trick. Make them feel like the disrespected underdog even when they aren't.

Dooley would out mouth them all……….can’t recall who they we’re playing, but the opposition came in something like 1-7………always having to praise his opponent Vince spoke of their punter……that’s right, their punter

The only bigger whiner than Dooley was that homer Larry Munson. Munson could make the little sisters of the poor sound like national champs. Me I liked Bob Fulton. Bob called the game straight down the line like a pro. But you knew where his heart was.

Disregard what Brown says. He's trying to set both us and his own team (and fanbase) up psychologically.

We have to WIN this game. There is no way the coming season turns out as good or better than the previous one if we can't win this game. It is essential to the momentum of the Beamer program - essential.

Man I hope we win that game. Wonder what the crowd distribution will look like? The bowl game felt like it was at least 60% USC to 40% UNC and that's being conservative on our end.

Yes. This game is enormously huge.

We need to win it and quit scheduling games in Charlotte.

Not sure about our defense, so the offense needs to be clicking and putting up some points!
Loggains does not get the luxury of a warmup game.
A loss would definitely put us in a hole right off the bat and kill any carryover momentum from last year.

I feel like UNC are perennial paper tigers. They always seem to disappoint at some point in the season. They haven't plays decent defense in quite a while. But we shall see.

UNC and NC State are both perennially overrated teams. I think the media thinks they need to have 4 or 5 teams from every P5 conference in the top 25 to start every season. The ACC is really clempson and the 13 dwarfs in football. Taters will always win at least 10 games and the #2 team will always lose at least 4.
