Social Media reacts to UNC’s stunning loss to Virginia
The North Carolina Tar Heels hosted the Virginia Cavaliers Saturday night, and what was supposed to be a breeze of a game was anything but.
Tar Heels had a plentiful of games with TRAP written all over them, but no one expected the Virginia Cavaliers to be the one that stuck to UNC’s heels. However, Virginia gave Carolina fits from start to finish, and it had social media in an uproar.
The first half brought mixed emotions, with UVA getting off to a hot start with the Tar Heels barely being able to keep pace. Nevertheless, they did go into the half up 17-14. The end of the third is where the wheels began to fall off with dropped passes, bad punts, and horrid penalties, causing a disastrous half for UNC.
UVA went on a 17-3 run to take the lead 31-27, with the clock, offense, and defense struggling. When the win started to look bleak, more and more panic started to sit in while the time dwindled. Despite another chance at leaving victorious, Maye throws a game-ending and potentially playoff-chance-ending interception.
UNC losses 31-27…
Social media had quite the reaction to UNC’s upsetting loss to Virginia. Let us see how they reacted.
This is why we can’t have nice things
An all-time bad loss by the North Carolina Tar Heels

How does Mack Brown not take 3 points there?

This might be the worst loss of Mack brown era to be honest. This piss poor effort on all levels

The CW curse is real. Pitt beats Louisville last week, and UNC in deep trouble against Virginia.

This is the most UNC loss I’ve ever witnessed. In a season that COULD’VE been amazing too.

Dear Carolina,
Please never schedule an old rival on fall break ever again.

Mack has brought UNC back to the upper end of mediocrity. Yay! #UNC

Whooo boy this is gonna take time to process. Unfortunately, shows again just how far #UNC still has to go to be a legit title contender.

All Drake Maye Heisman tickets go up in smoke tonight, any UNC playoff futures as well.

This is why I stayed away from the hype as much as possible. UNC football doesn't know how to control it. FSU in 2020, VT 2021, and GT 2022.

Mack Brown please blame this loss on the CW

Just a bad, bad loss no matter how you look at it. 1-5 UVA comes into your OWN STADIUM and is the more aggressive/inspired team from minute 1 to 60.
Safe to say #UNC ate the ‘poisonous cheese’ Mack Brown tried sooo hard to warn them about. Wild.
