Thanks for the input, Panther. Really appreciate it. Top 10 medicine. Did not know that. However, I didn't apply to UNC. Out of state admissions seemed too competitive. If I do go to Wake, it could be a transfer option. We'll see.

Also, being from two of the hottest states (Texas and California), how is the climate and weather of North Carolina?

Weather is f*cking amazing. I've been wearing shorts and t-shirts all year. In the summer, it doesn't get overly hot either, but it's generally very humid.

Also, UNC accepts a much higher percentage of transfers than freshman, so it could definitely be an option of you're still considering it down the line.

I'd suggest applying to other NC schools so transferring to Wake/UNC would be easier a semester or two down the line, but I think a lot of the major NC schools have already past the deadlines.

Well, while they may be about the same academically, UNC really is harder to get into if you are an out of state student than Wake Forest. UNC limits itself to something like 15% of out of state students, because state schools are required to serve the needs of state residents over those from out of state.

With Wake being private, they don't have these restrictions. In fact, about 3/4 of Wake's students are out of state students.

From that perspective, I agree.

It may change soon though. In state students are highly subsidized and with education budgets decreasing, the schools need more out of state students to generate more revenue.

Slowly, but gradually occurring in the California schooling system. The UCs are beginning to admit more out of state students. In a time of recession, it's expected. Especially when California is heavily in debt.

      The Ringer NFC Offseason podcast

      The division is most certainly wide open. The Bucs are a problem but Baker Mayfield is and will remain his own worst enemy it's a matter of when not if he has a bad game or even a stretch of bad games. As far as the Panthers they have done an admirable job of trying to address needs as best they can without pulling a Scott Fitterer and getting desperate which has only made us worse off in the past. On the Bryce subject all anyone can really say at this point is we just have to wait and see. This is the year and despite what the Panthers may say publicly doubling down and going all in on WR is as good as any sign anyone should need that they expect Bryce Young to have a very productive and convincing season. The pieces are in place. They aren't perfect but nothing ever will be. Regardless there's honestly no excuse for this staff and this team not to be able to compete in this iteration of the NFC South. Also just want to say this because I can say the hyper defensive posts already being made in here and it's probably going to be a season with highs and lows again but hopefully more highs for sure. But just because there is dialogue about a position group or a player that challenges your preconceived notions or makes you uncomfortable does not make it "hate" or "anti" this player or that player. For some people who talk a lot about nuance you would think this wouldn't need to be stated but that's where we're at.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      If I was a coach I would preach "Don't let the refs decide the game" because as soon as you let the NFL the chance to help their bottom dollar whether it be teams that make most money or gambling then they will screw the team that doesn't fit their bottom line......is it rigged? No but do they try and make certain narratives happen abso-freakin-lutley. As I stated in a previous thread NFL players are the ones that SHOULD have all guaranteed contracts but the boot lickers on this forum disagree and argue for the billionaires in this world who own these teams, sheep

      I wont go quite so far as to say games are rigged.  You wouldnt have to work hard to convince me there was the occasional thumb on the scale but outright rigged? nah.   but collusion on the rest of the "business" of football, sure.  No one really believes that the only time the 32 owners act as one is during the negotiations of the CBA do they?
