Could it be the negativity coincides with the downward trajectory of

this football program? Could it be people are tired of misses in recruiting, blowing it in big (most) games, and not being relevant again in a mediocre to bad conference/division?
Say what you want about UNC: we beat a team that was ranked in the top 10 coming into the season but I think most people who follow college football know that ranking was overranked. Yes they were ranked and yes we beat them but I don't even think they are top 20 and we showed that.

The board hosts can have their opinions and maybe they need to kick a few people off to start the fire but if we were recruiting in the top 30 on a regular basis, winning 9-10 games a year, and were nationally relevant again, I think you would see much more positivity on the boards. Would you still have people unhappy? Yes, every fan base and I'm sure every board has those.

Your negativity about other people's negativity just adds to the negativity. The old adage of two wrongs not making a right paraphrases here. Just like you have to read through threads you would rather not, we have to do the same when you comment on them. Think about that.
