Slow day? Insatiable need to think of some bad statistic any Canes fan already knows just so we can complain? Why do some of us insist on doing this?

The last 6 match ups vs both has my jaws tight.
1-5 vs UNC
2-4 vs GT
Make it make sense.
Also 3-3 against Duke in the last 6 games lolThe last 6 match ups vs both has my jaws tight.

GT does as wellUNC feels like 5-26
Actually Richt was 2-0 against UNC. We beat the in 2018 on a Thursday night game. That was Nkosi Perry's first career start.View attachment 320478
* To keep it fair, one of those 4 GT Ls was Richt's in 2018, but the sole UNC win was also his that year.
We need to do that to them again next time we face them. I was at that 2018 game. It was beautiful watching us make them look like Bethune Cookman (they kinda were in 2018).Actually Richt was 2-0 against UNC. We beat the in 2018 on a Thursday night game. That was Nkosi Perry's first career start.
Since joining the ACC:29 losses to GT and UNC is NASTY. lol
Actually it's inverted. We lost the 2009 game and won the 2010 encounter. We entered the 2009 game badly depleted by injuries (our total scholarship count was in the low 70s, making injuries difficult to overcome). The Canes were ranked 8th at the time, and had we won would would have been 8-1 going into that game in mid November with North Carolina. It was a big loss that took us completely out of NC contention.I will always remember fondly the first ACC home-and-home series with Clemson. Both went to multiple OTs (I think one was double OT and one was triple OT). I believe they won the one in Miami, and we won the game in Clemson, but both were great games. I remember thinking it was going to be a great, tough, competitive conference rivalry….
Whoops.![]()
I think I was right that both times the away team win the game though - sorry if I wasn't clear.Actually it's inverted. We lost the 2009 game and won the 2010 encounter.

As for Clemson, unfortunately after 2010 our blue chip level fell off fairly drastically while Clemson ascended further. That gap wasn't closed until 2023.
Looking at the ACC standings each year since 2004, it's amazing how often since 2012 team came out of nowhere to have a superlative year to win the Coastal.
