OT: I think I'm the enemy with many/most on this board for the week ;)

He will either score 40 or go 4-40 from the field. Not worried either way. 

Was talking about this with someone on our Arizona boards who lives in NC, a UNC friend of his said the same thing to him.

The funny thing is that I agree, even though Caleb has completely changed his game this year.

I know he had the tendency to try to play hero ball in UNC and would become a black hole at times and shoot them out of games, but he really has not done that at all this year.  Sure, there's been a few times he's taken bad shots that he shouldn't have, but he hasn't done it for full games and cost us losses.

He's done an amazing job at playing within himself and the offense, and it lead to him being a 2nd team All American and Pac 12 Player of the Year.  Don't get me wrong, he's had some bad games and bad shooting games (especially of late, the last 5 games his 3 point shot has been woefully off for some reason), but he's never had any games with more than 1 or 2 shots that he shouldn't have even considered to where he was the reason we lost.

Having said that... I agree, if Arizona-UNC end up playing Saturday, he's either going off for a monster game or I think he'll struggle to not try and be THAT guy to beat his old team and end up shooting us into a loss for the first time this year.

watch AZ not even get past Clemson.  OP will have brought that bad juju on himself and his team. 

Nah, I'm not looking past Clemson and I'm not putting UNC into the Elite 8 over Alabama yet either.

Just thought it would be fun to start this thread early in the week to have a good time with it.  I have to imagine I'm the only Wildcat on these boards and there are a lot of Tar Heels.

The funny thing is that I have a Clemson connection too.  I was very close to going to school there and thought I was for about a year, but ended up not of course.

Nothing but love for Caleb Love from me. I obviously hope he loses this week but if he doesn't I hope he wins it all.

And this is why I started this thread today instead of waiting to see if we both make it to the E8

I think this one is all in good fun, because as far as I'm aware, there isn't any bad blood between UNC fans and Caleb, especially after all the great memories he gave you guys, particularly against Duke.

I'm also pretty sure you guys loved (no pun intended?) him going back into "Caleb Indoor Stadium" early this year and beat them again in HIS house, lol

Sure, maybe I'd prefer to play Alabama if we beat Clemson, especially as we already beat them by double digits in a neutral site game this year.  But a big part of me would rather play UNC, even though they're the 1 seed, because that game could be a lot of fun (plus it could bring out the dangerous version of Love, which if it happens, I honestly and objectively think we win that game).

Trimble can cause Love a lot of problems defensively, I'm just not sure Hubert will go that route.

I'd love it if we end up playing, for Hubert to get into his own head about Love and get too concerned over how to defend him.

We have a deep team of talented players, put too much effort into shutting Love down and not enough focus on the rest of our team and we'll make you pay.

Sure, Love is our best player, he was the conference player of the year, but ignore Ballo, Larsson, Boswell, and Bradley at your own peril, as if we didn't have Love, one of them (likely Ballo) would have ended up scoring more this year and won the award themselves.

I know we could lose to Clemson, of course, but I also did hear that the UNC boards last night were talking about how they were more afraid of a Clemson matchup than one with Arizona.

Which, c'mon now, is just asinine, we've been a Top 10 team all year and have a loaded roster.

I'm not looking past Clemson, but UNC fans really shouldn't be hoping for an Arizona matchup over a Clemson one unless they just want to play against Love for the joy of either beating him or being able to root for him in the FF if we were to beat you guys.

I can't speak for the UNC fans, but generally I'd rather play a team in the tourney that didn't know me that well.  That cuts all sorts of ways I guess.   Certainly, advantages to knowing someone too. 

Clemson will be an underdog for the 3rd straight game for a reason.  AZ should win simply because Clemson is the much more inconsistent team.  But if Clemson is playing well, they have been a problem for a lot of folks when they get it together this year.

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
