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.

      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.
