If you don't know what I'm talking about

In 1986, one of the best teams in college football history beat Tulsa by 13 at home

In 1990, 10-2 Miami beat 6-5 San Diego State by 2

winning the ugly close ones are what makes or breaks seasons some times...not saying we dont have a lot to correct but I will take this...6-0 BABY!!!!!
 
The 1983 team **** near got beat by East Carolina- with us up 12-7 the East Carolina QB overthrew a guy open going into the endzone at the end of the game. That BC team in 2001 was going in, man...

This **** happens. Everyone goes through it. You lose these and you go home, you win, you advance. We won...
 
Yup, I was just going off memory, and just by some of our best teams. Ohio State did it like that almost every single week in 2002. When they did it, they were a team of destiny, even if it was against Purdue or Cincinnati.

this is the kind of game we would lose in the past... we didn't lose. I'll take that.

Exactly, we have been awful at UNC and as fans we should know by now that they play us well. We played awful, were frustrated the entire night, and got an awesome TD by Dallas at the end which made me very relieved to escape with the win. Real glad to be a Cane tonight and to see the boys pull out a win despite losing two big time impact players on offense early.

Which is what I was trying to tell people for the past 2 weeks and I was routinely laughed at.

Agreed, but the same idiots who laughed at you will continue saying Miami by 40 in every game.
 
We were 1-4 in Chapel Hill before tonight. We just don't play well there. I'll take the W, thank you very much.

I actually think this sets up well for us. Everyone (our fans, their fans, other teams fans, condoleeza rice) is thinking FSU will kill us. Good. Let them think that. You watch, we're going to compete with them.

The 83 team had a brilliant QB with the mobility of a penguin and the heart of a lion. Big difference between then and now.

We will go nowhere special with Morris. However Golden is building a gutsy club with heart. When we get a QB with grey matter...watch out.

I remember you saying that. I have never seen a fanbase have so little respect for the opponent. I could see if we were playing someone like Duke on Thursday night, but UNC actually has NFL talent in some places.

I've been thinking the exact same thing. That will be our first clean game of the year.
 
It's gonna be great when Louisville, UCLA, Texas a&m, USCe and FSU all lose this weekend and we move to number 6 or 7 in the polls
 
No, all the great college football teams never play close games, have players that never drop any balls, have OC's that call perfect games, never have bad games on defense, and have QB's that don't have any 4 INT games like that bum Ken Dorsey. **** off OP, I know what I saw!

This can't be understated, despite how much we all hate the acorns. They were pushed to the brink by Dumpster Fires like Ron Turner's Illini. Builds character.

/but they're all still ****ers anyway.
