Yeah, they're not only good,but really fun to watch. It seems like everyone is on the same page compared to last year.

Last year was extremely painful to watch. What made it even worse was that I saw the handwriting on the wall in November last season.

Roach, Proctor, Flip, etc, etc, are all much more talented, but Ryan Young is criminally underrated for how much he contributes to this Duke team.

46-29 Tarheels at the half. Carolina has played good defense that's lead to their traditional transition game, but Louisville is very sloppy. I'm not complaining.

I'd hate to be a Louisville fan. They haven't been the same since Pitino left them in shambles and they got the championship vacated.

It goes beyond that comment, but I’m pretty much done w/JASON. Have been for a long, long time.It doesn’t really matter whether it’s professionally or socially I don’t really care for him. IDGAF if UNC had won 10 National Titles in a row and won their last 300 games. You don’t say that. You have 349 other options. Say UCONN, say Arizona, Gonzaga, pretty much any option was on the table. Bobby Hurley would never say UNC, neither would Grant Hill or Elton Brand, Battier, Laettner, JJ and even now Ingram or even new school guys like Banchero. Hell, even Kyrie wouldn’t say that and he says some of the most batshit crazy stuff in the world. I would never expect to hear Kenny Smith, Jordan, Jamison, Stackhouse, Hansborough etc to say they would go to Duke, because they never would. Jason is such an odd, just me first guy, I don’t even know how to describe him . Sick of his of opinions on almost all things at this point.

I heard it here locally and the first thing I said out loud is we don’t want ya!

This makes me think of the “never graduate” commercials.

If he’s not happy he went to Duke then he’s right up there with Foster for me.

I'm digging the gif back and forth 🤣 I have to agree with @RDU VOL#14 on this one. You don't say something like that when you're a tobacco road school. Thems fighting words.

I realize the way I wrote about a stupid hypothetical made it bigger than it should be. It’s dumb. I know it is. The thing that bugs me is that he might be one of the top 5 best players in Duke history. You give me one of the all time greats from any big school, football or basketball, their best players or 99.9% of their best players aren’t saying their arch rival in that situation. Peyton isn’t saying Florida or Bama. Tebow isn’t saying FSU, Tom Brady would never say Ohio State, Stroud would never say Michigan and so on. He is just an odd, surprisingly insecure individual. As I said, this isn’t a new development for me. This is just kind of the final straw.
