Can we call a truce?

OK, maybe truce is the wrong word. But a hiatus. Would it be possible to take a 2-week break from having the exact same fights over and over again about Hubert? Every game we trot out the same arguments. Nobody changes anybody's mind. All we manage to do is rile ourselves up. Ain't nothing gonna happen before the season is over. So rehashing the same fights after each game as if THIS GAME CHANGES EVERYTHING... is only serving to make this place toxic. I'd love to ask for a hiatus til after the Tech game on 2/28, but I get that's closer to 2.5 weeks. Can we at least have until after the Ville game on 2/23? It's only 12 days. That ain't too much to ask for, is it? Then at least we have a block of 4 games to hash through, including State and Ville. Just to be clear, I'm as guilty as anybody. I know the answer will likely be I can ignore those threads if i don't want to read them... and to a degree that's true. But pretty much every thread breaks down within a page or two with an unnecessary comment about how "only a good/bad coach would do that." And my self-restraint is **** if I’m going to be 100% honest…

Lol. Probably the best for our collective mental health but doubt it would work. I will also point out I've seen several posters "come around" to wanting to be done with Hubert as the season has progressed. So I'd posit maybe the back and forth actually is having an impact (probably not, the quality of play on the court overall is likely enough.)

I may need to change the thread title to "Can we have a thread of gifs making fun of me?"

Honestly, I just don't know that I have the energy or desire to talk about how bad Hubert is any more. He is killing my love for Carolina basketball. If not for the Duke game, I probably wouldn't be on here now but there's nothing else I can say about Hubert at this point. I am glad to see Caleb didn't break anything. So, I'll just leave it at that.

Too many folks wouldn't know what to do with themselves if they couldn't argue on here. It's how they pass time.

Nope. Need the noise to keep growing until he steps down or is fired.

I don’t think there’s really that much debate at this point. I know dozens of UNC fans in real life and I don’t think a single one of them thinks Hubert is the answer as head coach. Do y’all know people who think he is?
