Top 20 teams aren't supposed to get anywhere close to the Final Four. They're 4-6 seeds.

duke fell to their most hated rival in one of the highest Final Four upsets of all time. I realize it's a difficult pill to swallow but talking trash with no leg to stand on isn't gonna help wash it down. 😂

 

You're working overtime. It's okay to take a breath.

And, before you call me a Duke homer or something, I grew up in SoCal, watched the John Wooden teams and didn't know anything about either UNC or Duke until I moved here.

11 NCAA titles, including 10 in 12 years with Wooden. 7 straight titles from 1967-1973. 4 undefeated seasons. 88 game winning streak; 98 game home winning streak; 38 game NCAA tourney winning streak. And he beat both Duke and UNC for NCAA titles.

Who finished second in the Kentucky Derby last year? Who finished second at the Indianapolis 500 last year? Who was the NCAA basketball runner-up in last year's tournament?

That's a lot of typing for someone who supposedly doesn't really care.

Circle back in a decade when folks are still talking about K's final two games against Carolina. Y'all gonna get real tired of it getting mentioned every time these teams face off for the rest of your lives. 😂

You misunderstood.

I really don't care because neither of them are nearly as special as their fans believe them to be. Never mind the fact that a 47-page thread to talk about a game that meant nothing at the end of the day because Kansas won, and that's all that matters.

Like I said, a lot of typing for someone who doesn't care. You saw the thread title. Why click?

Do you see me in any hockey threads? It's because I don't care.

Dude sounds like a cowboys fan talking about past accomplishments lol

Gee, UNC beating Duke is a past accomplishment. 

Stop taking yourselves so fugging seriously- it was a game neither of you had anything to do with the outcome.

Baffling posting from someone who supposedly doesn't care and who is also a sports fan. Just sit it out like all the other folks who actually don't care. You're in here making an ass of yourself.

This thread isn't worth the trouble. Thankfully 99% of Duke fans have actually accepted their loss and embarrassment. 

Have you accepted yours? I'm just in here pulling a 4corners because I'm putting off some work i need to do

Yep. We came up just short of the finish line in a game we had absolutely no expectations of being in. I've accepted it.

 

I expected Duke to lose to Texas tech and they wouldn't have beaten Gonzaga had they played them.  You act like Duke was the heavy favorite to win the national championship.  Carolina and Duke are even just about every year. Unc should have been better than an 8 seed. The acc was under rated this year and it took Hubert a while to find his footing. 

 

You guys were 17-4 your last 21 games, I give Hubert credit they were playing some of the best basketball in the country when it mattered

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.

      Best part is if we draft him, we can also use him as our fourth and one QB sneaker
