Please. Chapel Hill is the only redeeming quality of the Triangle. You're sitting there stuck in no man's land halfway between the mountains and the beach. Ugh.

 

 

No dog in this fight but Chapel hill fuging sucks dick now.  The cool ambiance of franklin st has been pulverized and is totally corporate.  The parking and traffic is out of control as is the real estate costs.  In the late 80s and 90's CH was a great small college town.  Then I think RTP just basically took over with people moving in.  I just literally spent 2 weeks between CH and durham for work and CH is not even the same place.  Its crazy.  FWIW I stayed at the Hampton beside the Cats cradle.

 

Durham has really changed as well for the better.  Seems like lots of money pouring into it and is becoming more a city then what I was used to.

I know the Durham Realty head guy and he said Duke started putting in the money for Durham. 

Mostly because Duke would try to get some big wigs to come work for them in the late 90's/early 2000's and their wifes would drive around town to get to know Durham. Then comeback and tell their husbands this place is trash. We're not living here. Duke has invested a ton of money to make sure Durham is never like that again. Hence the reason it's better than Chapel Hill. I love Durham, I used to love Chapel Hill. Just isn't what it used to be.

Every true, great college town eventually gets bought up and overrun by corporate America. ECU won’t have to worry about this because nobody wants to step foot in the armpit of East NC; but Chapel Hill, Boone, and I’m sure other small fun college towns across the USA are slowly using their personalities and essence. Hell even Davidson is bullshit now. MERICA!!

If you're ever on 15-501 between Durham/Chapel Hill try out this place called Naamu by the way for dinner. Good Korean BBQ, plus a good brew. 

I wouldn’t eat anywhere in Durham. Their sanitation grades are probably just as bad as the duke basketball players grades at NC Central.

I’ve hated coach k with a passion since 8th grade. That said I live less than ten minutes from downtown Durham and you couldn’t pay me to live anywhere else in the state, and it’s only getting better.

I own land in hurdle mills and cannot wait to move to that area.  Paradise

The issue here is that the nice parts of Durham aren’t the only parts of Durham.

How much has Durham changed since 2019? Because only three years ago it was still the most unsafe city in NC outside of High Point.

Not to mention, if Durham is so nice then why are they talking about adding shot spotter again… the town may have added nice tenants and buildings, essentially putting lipstick on a pig… but it’s still crime infested.

I’d rather walk into a Target and know I’m not going to get shot at then walk into a bar and not walk out later.

      Anyone else think we’re getting too hyped

      By PantherBoy95 · Posted

      While I have a chance to be overly excited I'll take that opportunity. The team will determine what happens with that. It's been a while since we've had much to be excited about, I'd say let's just embrace it and see how it unfolds.

      Knowns: top 10 o line 2 proven, quality RBs 2 proven, WRs who get open and catch everything. 2 others who show a lot of ‘potential’ A QB who improved greatly in the last few games of the season, topped off by putting up a 40 burger win in OT in this franchise’s kryptonite house. What will transpire this season is yet to be seen.  defense has far less proven. 2  very good CBs, a stud DT (coming off a major injury) and the rest is, again, ‘potential.’ A DC that is essentially starting the season on the hot seat.  This is not 2003, but it could be good. 2003 was the most stacked roster from top to bottom that this team has ever had. This squad finished on a big upswing, yes, but we’ll see.  I think it all comes down to how spiked your hopium is. The running game is where it is for the team. This is not a defense that will win 3 points games. Just not. To win, this team will have to dominate TOP and come up with 2+ more 3rd down stops each game. Again, do-able and should be good for at least a 7 point differential in our favor, ‘hopefully.’  I will say that it is nice seeing talent that actually belongs in the NFL on our roster.

      I believe in bryce...

      Say what you want, but last year Bryce gave Carolina the best QB-play we've seen a very long time. A very long time. Often with rookies at WR and TE, and a RB not known for his receiving abilities. There is much reason for optimism with added weapons, and consistency/ chemistry on the offensive line and coaching staff. Now if the defense can get to average instead of a heaping lump of dog doo, this team should win a lot more games. This season is a turn the corner season. Next season is the year to press the accelerator to the floor.
