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

      Bust alert - Eight NFL players running out of time to prove themselves entering 2026 season

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Bryce has improved each season, fwiw, statistically.  His slope is rising.  (Not to say I am high on him--I am not, but I have not given up on him--nor have I given up on XL, but damn he pisses me off)  CJ's slope is descending.   I was never a Penix fan.  Never, I say!

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that we could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch Sorsby.  If Bryce regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  He is a great dual threat, RPO QB.   I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.  Pickett?  King?  yikes.

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.
