If the turnovers get returned for TDs, the D gets extra rest. O0

Man I don't know what Loma was thinking. How are you going to wait 8 rounds before throwing a punch and expect to win?
It ended up being a really good fight, but yes Loma seemed to dig himself a hole.  I didn't think the one judge's 119-109 card was remotely close to what I watched.  Lopez looked vulnerable there in the late rounds but man did he finish strong in the 12th.

They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

I would guess teams would start reporting if they were healthy enough to play early this week as to notify their opponent

Yup I was pulling for Mack Brown.  Just can't get that monkey off his back.
I like Mack, but he is who he is, and that hype train was a little out over its skis (god that's a strained metaphor)

Made grilled tri tip with a creamy peppercorn sauce, "Northwoods Inn" purple cabbage salad, and sous vide corn with cilantro butter.

All delicious, but the sauce didn't quite reduce and thicken as much as I'd like...

It's still a fun metaphor.

It generates imagery of Eddie the Eagle.

And the bobsled team from Jamaica.

Teams, especially mediocre teams, can look great one week and terrible the next.

Yeah Mack's got a ways to go, if he's going to "get there" at all, but I do think UNC is better now than before he was there.  He still appears to be a good recruiter, and having talent is always better than not having talent.

Still, this year's FSU team is not very good, and this would have been a great chance for him to rid himself of that particular bugaboo.  Ah well, maybe next year.

I think UNC is the kind of team that can beat mediocre teams, and also then lose to them as well.  They might have a 60% chance of winning each game, but that means they will hit the 40% at times.  Their opponent might also have a bad day, or very good day where everything works.

They aren't Clemson.  Yes, you read that here.

I think that's true, right now.

But I don't think there's anything systemic within UNC, or structural within the ACC, to prevent them from doing as well as Clemson.  Before the past several years, Clemson wasn't anything special.
