As a heels fan it's house money.... 8 seed vanquished rat face for all of eternity....

Yep. Fandom aside I think Kansas wins Monday but holy poo the last month of Carolina basketball has been insane. What a way to send Coach Krybaby out.

I think I'm still in shock. I told buddies going into this tournament that this team can beat anyone but they can also lose to anyone. I could see a run to the Elite 8 or I could see a 1st round 20 point loss. That's what has made this so absolutely stress free for me prior to running into duke. I had no expectations. Just enjoying every game for that moment. I never in my wildest dreams saw this team in the Final Four much less the championship game. I've never seen a team snap their fingers and wake up and turn it on like this.

I'm just so happy UNC handed Duke it's most embarrassing season ever and that Duke didn't surpass UNC in number of championships during K's tenure. Would just be cherry on top for UNC to win and end up having more.

I thought it was so tacky (but yet so completely fitting) that Coach K had to announce his retirement a year in advance so he could have a yearlong farewell tour. Absolutely no better way for that farewell tour to go than for him to lose his final home game and final regular season to UNC absolutely ruining his curtain call. Then for UNC and duke to have their first NCAA tourney match up in the Final Four and UNC sending his ass packing into retirement. The ONLY way for it to have been better is if tonight had been for all the marbles.

This was a epic battle. This was the show I expected. This is why its the best rivalry in sports and boy did we show the world why it is tonight. But for the Heels to come out on top. GDTBATH. But also this is the end of a era that is as old as me but this game may have ignited this rivalry more because duke will never let this go. But Coach K has been a great coach.

The homer in me says we win, but the ride has already been worth admission this season is already a massive success  regardless of Monday's  outcome.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I went to Canes games back in '04 & '05 when you were probably still a swimmer waiting to make your dad a father. There was no one there bc they sucked. Some of the lowest attendance in the NHL. As a Panthers fan coming off a SB season (03-04), I couldn't even believe they put a hockey team in Raleigh, and given the attendance, a lot of people speculated they would be relocated somewhere back up north where they would be supported and not "Mayberry." Seriously, educate youself.  That is reality. That being said, comparing that environment to 2024 Canes would be disingenuous. I was at PNC last year and know how great the current environment is. Comparing the current environment at BOA to 10 years ago is just as disingenuous.  Just bc you didn't witness how good BOA is when the Panthers are actually decent doesn't change reality. Seriously, surely you see that coming from such an elitist environment like the globally renowned world-class city of Raleigh, NC... I guarantee you if you went to a Canes game and a Panthers game in 2005, the difference would be unreal bc the Panthers were awesome and the Canes were (at the time) a moribund franchise. I have been in BOA when the whole stadium was rocking. You simply are young, don't know what you're talking about, but want to portray yourself as having knowledge about things you simply don't. You have a lot in common with modern day politicians and televangelists Like I said, Idiocracy has prevailed... Have a great day too!

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!
