Thanks for the link. I found it funny how East Coast Aztec said there that this board is full of homers when he once said on the MWC board that he doesn't post on AztecMesa because there's so much bickering here. He's a knowledgeable poster but seems like one strange guy. Also gotta love the half dozen Tar Heels who say you guys are going to put more than 50 points on the board. Our defense isn't great but it isn't that bad either and for those of you who haven't followed Rocky Long's teams, his offenses always chew up a lot of the clock so teams never run as many plays against us as they normally do. I predict the game will be close at the half but then UNC pulls away and wins by about 17. That's not a very homerish prediction.

Yes, and he still has to get his editorial comments in... I am on www.aztecstalk.com It has some of the most knowledgeable Aztec fans around. It tends to be a little slow at times. Most older and calmer. A place where you can chat. Moderated very well. (Translation: It's a morgue)You can also go to www.aztecmesa.com It is much busier, but a lot of rift/raft. There are some good posters there, but don't be surprised if you get slammed and baited often. It is just the way it is. Moderation leaves a lot to be desired (IMO). (Translation: If you don't allow us to set ourselves up for martyrdom, you leave a lot to be desired. And "rift/raft"? Really? You graduated from my school?)The other Steve doesn't like us either (though I side a little bit with his "uniform threads" swipe. steveem: A lot of old-timers who were football oriented jusleft the board,among them former players etc. The new crowd is all hyped on basketball and most know zip about football. It is all uniforms threads,new stadiums,and Joe Schmoe former point guard is now playing for the Bangladesh Torpedos in the Monsoon League. (I like hearing about the Joe Schmoes - they're called 'Aztecs for Life', ya know.)Yeah news is good threads boring to me.

Every time we play a P5 school their fans say we will score 50 points etc. Remember WAZZU a couple of yeas ago. Lets hope their whole team feels the same way.

Know your history. Oldie Out OhMyGod I am still cold in some places deep inside my bones from the wind at that god-forsaken stadium that night... I'm not, thanks to lots of beer and a bit of whiskey that day. But I do still occasionally find some grains of desert sand deep in an ear canal. If I remember correctly, I believe one Aztec punt actually ended up travelling backward a few yards. One of UNC's punts actually caught a low lying jet stream and sailed way over our returner's head. Fuzzy memories from that day......

Hoping for the away upset, but have UNC winning by 6, I think we keep it close

Last week's game UNC vs Liberty Highlights. Just like back in the 90's, UNC has a mobile quarterback. That is my #1 fear. We never seem to be able to contain a running quarterback. Other than that, they seem to have really good speed in their secondary. i think we stack up pretty well. Coach Rocky has his work cut out for him. If we can run the ball on offense, that will do wonders in this game. We contained Fales and Fajardo (twice) enough to win those games. Mayyyybe we contained them. WE BARELY came away with both of those victories. & Neither of those QB's are all that great honestly. And we all know San Jose State and Nevada are not good defensive comparisons to UNC either. I'm not saying UNC is going to crush us, But i AM saying that their mobile QB will be a big challenge if we are to take them down.

That's a ton of data. Just noticed SDSU suited up 64 players for the NAU game and 63 of them played.

I hope all you SDSU fans coming to the game on Saturday enjoy your experience. Chapel Hill has a small town feel and revolves around the University. Be sure to take time to walk up and down Franklin Street, buy some flowers from the flower ladies there ( a Chapel Hill tradition for years ). If you have time, stop in Southern Season in University Mall. It is very unique and well worth the trip. Just be careful not to get lost and end up in Dur-ham. You could end up at ..... dook. It sounds like SDSU folks should have a nice time. UNC fans actually seem pleasant. We're not used to that! Ha! I guess you weren't at the Vegas Bowl in '98...

Family obligations will prevent me from attending. REALLY bummed. But will be cheering on and toasting those there from NoDak. Go Aztecs, safe journeys to all!

Like I said, we contained enough to get the win. It doesn't matter by how much we won. WE WON. Marquise Williams is no Braxton Miller either. Edit: Fedora had him split time with a true frosh. So I don't see him as being a big a challenge as you think.

Hoping to meet up (Thursday night) with any Aztecs at Bailey's Sports Pub which is just a half mile from our hotel (Residence Inn---Erwin Road) near campus. Friday night we start at R and R and hoof it from there. Go Aztecs! Bailey's is terrible. I highly recommend you go to Franklin Street instead. Bailey's is essentially every Applebee's, plus a billiards area.

I predict the game will be close at the half but then UNC pulls away and wins by about 17. I could be wrong on this, and he can correct/confirm if he wishes, but I was under the impression EastCoastAztec from the MWCBoard is the same as SDSUdevil on this board.

Yet a few Carolinians think they're going to blow us out because although they failed to blow out Liberty, THEY went deep into their bench.

As he's now told me via PM, that is correct. As I've now told him, I disagree that this is any more of a homer board than the average message board out there. In fact, a few have already prognosticated that come Saturday night, there will be plenty of criticism of Rocky again.
