Anybody wonder why Charlotte doesn't have a major college university?

You would think the biggest city in NC would have a more competitive university.

 

We never see Charlotte in the same class as UNC/Duke/NCST/Wake Forest.

 

State schools aren't always in the big cities though.

I’m sure many of the duke basketball fans here can tell you how great UNCC is as an institution. It’s a big school. Great engineering and race car stuff too if that interests you.

For the UNC fans:

No heart, no drive, no competitive spirit?

Second video talks about LG's late season collapses.

Yes Carolina football blew their wad early for the second year in a row. That team they put on the field for the Mayo Bowl wasn’t ready to compete with another p5 team playing most of its starters. 
 

The season ended when they lost to UVA. 
 

im a Mack Brown guy but it’s probably about time for some serious changes to happen. He’s got us to a point where 8-9 wins ain’t good enough but we probably need to seriously reshuffle the deck. PJ Fleck is a guy I would keep an eye on.

Mack accomplished the goal. He drug us out of the hole Fedora dug us into and rebuilt the recruiting pipelines Fedora destroyed. Mission accomplished. But staying too long will start to undo that. IMO, he's already stayed too long. Going into this season would've been perfect timing to gracefully retire and we would've been a HOT job with a Heisman hopeful QB. Instead, we have completely fumbled two Heisman campaigns in just three years and you can bet that the combo of that and Mack's age is hampering our recruiting abilities. The relationships are rebuilt for someone else to takeover. Beyond this point Mack becomes more of a liability than a help. It just is what it is. It's time for him to bow out or unfortunately be forced out. I'd greatly prefer the former.

    • 4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.
    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
