People that are complaining about this because he's a duke player are just as bad as those that complained about the Bobcats drafting Heels.

Hopefully everyone shuts up about this irrelevant issue now.

Its not like he just punched Julius Hodge in the junk. It was a dirty foul in a big game. I'm not a fan of either team more than the other. Defending him is stupid. Piling on him is stupid.

I agree with this in principal, but the Bobcats said they drafted the heels to bring in fans. I think that's why most fans bitch about UNC players. UNC fans bitching about a Dukie is dumb because two UNC guys drafted him.

This.

That was the best part of the conference to me, them poking fun at duke and building up Henderson at the same time was funny to me.

Henderson was going for a hard block (Why was Hansbrough in the game anyways?) and Hansbrough flaked out, and as a result, Henderson unintentionally karate-chopped his face. The fans thought it was intentional, (understandably, it happened so fast they didn't really get to see what really happened) and yes, would have stormed the court and disemboweled Henderson if he was not ejected. Most of the people I know on campus don't think it was intentional now, having reflected back on it.

The only ones who still believe it was intentional are the people who never went to the school and have to prove that their loyalty is equal to the loyalty of people like myself who went to UNC by latching on to trivial events like Henderson's elbowing of Hansbrough like it was fuging Pearl Harbor.

your attendance makes you no more a fan than most...Hell, son, I was rooting for the Heels and idolizing Worthy (knew his mom well) before you were born. And you obviously (as a CH attendee) know nothing of the blood in this rivalry...Remember Montross and the stitches? You may not as you were a tot...Larry Brown and the FIGHT that started it all?

It was reckless that's why he was suspended. He was ejected because the crowd was about to kill him and Tyler was bleeding everywhere. Anytime there is that amount of blood a player needs to be ejected. There is no way that was intentional.

And this would be your view if it had been Laettner and the blow delivered by George Lynch? Think about this, really.

Do you tell NCS fans that didn't attend the school that they are not real fans? Do they check for student ID's before games there? I know several State fans that attended UNCC, as I did. They not allowed to root for the Pack?

I went to UNC for 1 year....can I still pull for them? I think it is funny that someone that went to UNC is on a high horse and doesn't want anyone else pulling for them. I know hundreds of Duke fans, but I don't know one person that went to Duke. Every school has fans that pull for the school that didn't go there. Maybe people are just mad that there aren't enough State fans or UNCG fans or where ever they went to school.

I got accpeted to UNC but decided to go to Johnson & Wales in Charleston insted. So I get to bitch.

Ive got to keep bringing up that Im glad we drafted Henderson. Grant Hill was one of my favorite players in NBA for a long time. My uncle rescued Christian Laettner when his jet ski ran out of gas in Emerald Isle about 15 years ago. He could have left him for dead, I would have. I doubt anybody would have notcied.

For those people crying about why was Hansbrough in the game that late with that kinda lead. Why was Henderson on the floor? I mean the game was over wasnt it? Why not have in the rest of the scrubs?

Im as big of a Carolina homer as they come but we are talking about the NBA, not Henderson getting a transfer to Carolina. IM STOAKED THEY DRAFTED HIM!

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
