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.

    • Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.  
    • Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO. 
    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
