# | Bruce Feldman's Top 10: The biggest impact freshmen in college football (Brandon Facyson No. 7) Not to be a debbie downer. And I think both these guys have the potential to be All American type players. But let's not forget a lot of their success has been because of the contributions from the Defensive line. When you can create pressure with just four guys, it makes the secondary's job a lot easier.
This is trash talk from a UNC fan uploaded yesterday btw
Apparently, the only shot we have at winning Saturday is if:
- Enter Sandman gets played
- Fans jump high enough to create a earthquake that splits the earth in two
- Satan himself rises up and snatches all of the UNC football players on the field
This is a good reason everyone in the acc should hate unc. I sincerely hope they finish at the very bottom of the league. Especially after losing to ecu, I hope they lose every conf game this year.
probably the coldest effing game I've ever been too.
Forget about the Gelgameks? rabble rabble rabble!

# | Bitter blog - Journell trying to put threatening phone call out of mind, focus on finding kicking form But see the issue I have with it is that all these stories being posted are happening in countries that have histories of violence. Brazil is still extremely dangerous in some parts of the country, Columbia as well. These events aren't happening just because soccer is being played. Events like these can happen on the daily basis, and they made news because it happened to be at a sporting event. If you go to a game in a country that is more similar to the US in nature (I don't want to say civilized or developed because that is way too general), you don't have these types of things occurring. I've been to countless European soccer games and have never once felt any sense of insecurity.
As for the actual actions, you are correct, maybe nothing that direct has happened before in mainstream US sports. I feel this is part due to the security that now is involved with professional athletes and there prospective teams. But there are still plenty stories that come out in the US about fans killing other fans either during or immediately after sporting events. You hear all the time about the parent that took their child's game too seriously and assaulted or killed a referee or a coach. Hell, this happened just this year.

The fact that I am trying to make is that generalizing about an entire sports fanbase based on the actions of a few is a bit overboard. Not to mention, there are WAYY more soccer fans on this earth than there are football, or baseball, or any other mainstream US sport. So naturally, there is also the likelihood that there are going to be more bad ones as well.

# | Bitter blog - Journell trying to put threatening phone call out of mind, focus on finding kicking form However other countries fan basis for soccer would have out right physically attacked him for missing all of his kicks and the ways he handles himself off the field.
That sounds like a guarantee. Its generalizing about an entire sports fan base. From personal experience, I've seen way more violence caused by sporting events in the United States than I ever have of attending 6+ years of European soccer games.
I love this series man, great work each week.
Sidenote: Anybody hear any news on the uniforms we'll be wearing this week? Any new helmets or weird jerseys this time around?
YES, was waiting for us to start focusing on UNC.
I made a UNC football trailer that completely embodies their mindset and mental toughness this season:
hahahahaha. I just read through some of the comments, you're like a baby sitter. It's pretty funny.
Barry is among my most idiotic frequent commenters.
rabble rabble rabble noon kickoff rabble rabble rabble
Agreed. +1 for footnote 7
gaaaah so ridiculous.
Claiming to be the Coastal champions last year is like having someone else write your thesis paper in which the only contributions you have to make involve removing words and sentences that no one believes you could write, and then taking credit for it....
..wait....there's... a trend here.
Shannon Sharpe doesn't look like a horse?
*Insert disgruntled comment about another noon game*
NONE OF THESE ARE BASED ON APPEARANCE. Try again.

# | Bruce Feldman's Top 10: The biggest impact freshmen in college football (Brandon Facyson No. 7) I think it could be argued that 2 of Facyson's pics could have been made by Fuller, as both where in position to make the play. They are both awesome, as is Exum, and this is a much better "problem" to have then last years O-line getting manhandled weekly w/ no solution.
Why the heck did they put a light pole at the 50 yard line of their field? That must be extremely annoying for their fans.
I thought it was common knowledge that May and Holtz hated one another? What other reason would ESPN have to pit them against one another in pointless debates with Rece Davis as the judge making the final verdict?
I'm really loving a couple of the new weeklys here, like "Foe"rensics, the BUZZCAP, and of course the power rankings
YESSSS. Four layers of clothes, thermals, two pairs of gloves, hot hands in my gloves and shoes, and two turkey legs couldn't keep the cold away that night.
Sweet win tho. Worth it.
