Today is Clemson and UNC's national championship

SCREW YOU SILVER

 

Wossa, it warms the heart to hear you wishing a fond farewell to three loyal Tar Heel seniors, Bersticker, Lang, and Capel!

As a longtime ACC fan, let me let you in on a little secret... These guys represent the true Carolina basketball tradition MUCH better than many of the more recent superstar heroes that are now gone. At least as far as Lang and Capel are concerned (don't know as much about Bersticker), they both played four years, never got into any trouble, will probably graduate, and played solid team basketball.

Yes, they are only role players, but is that their fault???!!! You act as if it is! These guys are in the tradition of other great Carolina role players that never went on to superstar NBA careers. Guys that played significant roles on National Championship teams. Guys like Jimmy Black, MATT DOHERTY, Pat Sullivan, and MANY more. Swap any of those guys (with the exception of Black) with Capel or Lang, and Carolina would still struggle this year.

I know from your previous posts that you blame the TEAM for being in this situation. Well, imo, you need to modify that just a bit... This is a failure of the PROGRAM. Faulty succession planning, faulty recruiting, faulty coaching, and yes, faulty play by the entire team.

We hear so much about the great tradition at Carolina, maybe you need to consider the types of players that tradition was built on before continuing to insult loyal Carolina players like these guys. How do you think Deano himself would characterize the careers of these three young men?

Good luck next year with Felton and the rest of the crew. I'm sure that they will go down as some of the all-time greats at Carolina. That is, if they stay for more than one year...

 

Good post. Go Clemson.

 

Whatever! Fact is, Capel runs his mouth too much. I have thought for that past two seasons that he is a cancer on that team. I don't know how much blame I lay at Lang's feet. I do know the guy shoots most of his shots two feet from the goal and his shooting percentage is around 48%. That is terrible. Bersticker and Melendez have contributed nothing to this program either.

 

Damn wonder why the Holes didn't play like this every night? 34-15 right now - guess it's one of those streaky nights.

 

i kind of felt like forte's ego made things fall apart last year. this year it's a lack of talent, and i'm not sure i understand the offense.

 

LOL 91- 69
