They'll probably let it keep happening until someone gets severely hurt and sues the school. Then the NCAA and schools will put a stop to it.

I felt for years that it was only a matter of time.  And with all the crazy people out there today, I think its only a matter of time before some psycho fan attacks a player on the court.  They have to start giving time for the other team to exit the court, which is difficult in a game that was so close.  

That being said, Go Deacs.  🙂

You can see on some of the replays, some guy hitting the Duke player on the back, so yeah. There was a game a few weeks ago where they knew the fans would storm the court and the visiting coach pulled his starters and had them along with most of the bench near the exit. But that doesn't happen in the ACC.

I figured you'd be really happy with the win. Your school hasn't been good in the last 5+ years.

They have been decent the last two years, hopefully this year they get over the hump and make the tournament.

This one shows the Duke player shoving a Wake fan who was running by, probably talking trash.  Which is why they need to delay court storming.

Fwiw, I am a Wake fan.

I don't think that any of it was intentional.  I do think that KF saw the Wake fan running towards the way KF was headed, and put out his arm to shield himself.  Of course, the Wake fan was probably talking trash, so maybe there was a little hostility in the move that KF made.  But certainly, no attempt at injury by either side.  

That being said, court storming should be controlled better at a minimum.  Most coaches think it's a bad idea.  And with all the armed pyschos around today, how long before someone gets seriously injured?  Not just a knee or ankle, but actually a more serious life-threatening injury.

Carolina didn't play well today but a win is a win and it's hard to play well against UVA. It's usually gonna be an ugly, grinding affair. That's just what it is when you're playing against what UVA usually is which is a very good defensive team that struggles to score and tries to slow the game down. It is what it is.

LOL @ a duke player get getting injured trying to shove an opposing fan and then duke playing the victim. That's fuging classic.

    • If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.
    • Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
    • it's not so much this personal vendetta against the Carolina Panthers as it is more about Bryce Young never not once been in the same conversation with the top 15 or even top 20 Qbs in the NFL ..just saying
