I’m going to be honest, if the Heels are fighting for bowl eligibility this season would be a monumental disappointment. With the defense returning, the receivers a year older and more experience and depth on the offensive line I fully expect us to push to the nine win plateau on the backs of our defense.

If you’ve seen anything I write or post I’m a fairly realistic guy who borders on pessimism more frequently than optimism. Fact is BD has got to do several things this year: Beat NC State, Beat Virginia, Beat Duke, Win home games (GT off a bye, Clemson, ECU, W&M), Get a positive 2-1 split with VT, FSU, Miami and get in LSU’s ass in the Georgia Dome is job #1.
