Full Speed Ahead for UNC

[KnightVision82]

Looks like we're only down the FAMU game at this point.

It's full steam ahead on the 2020 college football season at the University of North Carolina according to head coach Mack Brown, whose Tar Heels open at UCF the first weekend in September in a much-anticipated matchup of preseason Top 25 teams. Florida is considered one of the nation's hot spots for COVID-19 with a current seven-day average of 11,000 cases, however Rep. Governor Ron DeSantis said Tuesday that ICU capacity is stable and he expects the number of positive cases to begin trending down in the coming weeks.

“We’ve tried to tell them we’re playing our regular season as of now,” Brown said during a videoconference Tuesday, via The Orlando Sentinel. “So do the best job you can do to prepare as you would normally prepare for us to start on Aug. 6.”

Brown said, as of now, his team has not made any changes to its preseason practice schedule and the goal is to get through August unscathed in prep for North Carolina's trip to Spectrum Stadium in Orlando on Friday, Sept. 4.

What happened to the whole "Covid can't survive in heat and humidity"? ...I was looking forward to the Central Florida summer for a change.

We’re not playing UNC. The ACC is leaning towards conference Plus 1 OOC. That 1 for UNC will be Auburn. We’ll know in 6 days

Read a story about this last night. Hopefully we can find a good OOC replacement but they're all going to be fighting to keep a "P5" game so chances are slim.

Brown can say what he wants, The ACC will go conf only, and so will NC. Conf only is the best we can hope for, and even that is doubtful.

No they are doing a plus 1. But that will be P5s only. G5 won’t get any games with the plus 1.

So UCF is down to 9 games for the season, with only FIU being OOC. Seems like it would be in UCF's best interest that AAC goes conference only 10 game schedule.

The American honestly is pretty good. I think if they go undefeated in the American they for sure have g5 bid, but also might get a playoff invite. The narrative is starting to change around UCF.

Ok. I always say we. Not on team but graduated from there so I think I can say we. I do say we sometimes for my pro teams too but I like all Pittsburgh teams. I didn’t like teams because they win. Just because of city my family is from so I say we.
