What A Difference A Week Makes

One week ago Carolina fans were eyeing ten wins this season and since they are not eligible for a bowl game that would have been about all any fan could ask for.  Today they now look at the propects of being 1-2 before this weekend is over.  It is very hard to judge from one game how a season will be.  Today Carolina fans are asking what happened?

What happened is they like all other teams forgot that Wake just does not lose at home to other North Carolina team.  Jim Grobe is 24-6 against other North Carolina schools in Winston Salem.  There is just something about the way Grobe coaches that he can take hamburger and create ribeyes against other North Carolina sschools.

Everyone forgets Wake has won a division title  this decade while even Duke has won a title in the 90's.  Carolina and State haven't won a title since 80 and 79 respectfully.  Duke feels like they are going to be improved and whenever another North Carolina schools visits Duke they had better be ready to play.  Duke needs to play more NC schools instead of the likes of Stanford and Alabama.

I think by the season end State fans will see that Tenneessee will wind up being a very good team and U Conn is better than folks thought.  State has three weeks to get their offense in gear before Florida State pops up on their schedule. 

Most of the time ECU has a shot when they have made trips to South Carolina in the past.  ECU felt very chariable and let the game get away and looked worse than the final score.

I think as football fans who pull for any North Carolina team any team that wins eight games during the season will be a very good year.  Next week at this time it will be time to reevaluate again.  Some teams will be on the verge of getting better while others will be on the up hill climb.  Where will your team stand next week.
