    HUGE turnover there. Barnett is a beast.

    Sixth sack in last four games for Barnett.

    Whether it's luck or not, it's not a bad thing. The history of time has shown us teams need to be nearly perfect to win championships, and that includes getting a lot of those "lucky bounces", or just simply other teams fucking up and handing you opportunities.

    and that is fine and also a true statement. Some people just don't like it being called what it is. At the end of the day, a win is a win is a win so who cares how it comes but lets not act like there isn't some sheer luck involved, particularly when it happens over and over again.

    Whether it's luck or not isn't relevant? It absolutely should be.

    And "a win is a win" is the most dismissive and useless narrative.

    When it happens over and over again like you said, then how is it still luck? I'm not saying we haven't had some luck, but ALL teams get lucky every now and then.

    Listen, there is no point in continuing this conversation. You chalk it up to skill and execution if you'd like. Clearly we have a difference of opinion here and neither are changing.

    I don't believe luck is one of those things that disappears once you have it once.

    Which would imply it isn't luck... it's a knack, in a way.

    That's not true. You can be lucky one time or a thousand. It doesn't make it skill just because it happens more than once or twice. Especially when the circumstances are all vastly different.

    I will say that Butch Jones is my favorite coach to watch on camera lol

    All I'm trying to say is that you can't win a game on luck alone.

    Barnett might go in the top ten.

  23. UNC just failed to scored from the 1 after four tries.

    The rivalry is back on

    Poor Jalen Hurd isn't even the best ball carrier in this game whose name starts with Jalen Hur.
