Freaking ESPN man. Will they ever learn? Luckily, I accidentally had ACCN on and watched the pregame festivities and beginning of the game on there because ESPN didn't bother showing the game until halfway through the 1st Half because, you know, college games don't fit in a 2 hour window and the other games went long.
Yeah I thought it was cool. You have to respect what he’s done there. And it was cool to see all those former players. But yeah wtf with that crop top or whatever that was!
I mean. Plenty to hate that’s been well documented over the years.
I never hated Duke. I always did root against them but not because they're Duke, because they're a blue blood and I always want blue bloods to lose.
I was a teenager when UNLV and Tark were a powerhouse and Duke was the upstart. I never liked Duke because it felt like they tried to shove them down your throats as the good guys. The media did the same thing when the Fab Five came together and became rivals with Duke. As I got older, their obnoxious bandwagon fans that don’t even know where it’s located have become my disdain. They are similar to ND football in many ways. I don’t hate them. Just root against them in most cases.
Exactly what I was thinking also. Especially when they panned the crowd and all those former great players were sitting there. I was thinking that Pitt football could have been like that with all the college and pro hall of famers. If Foge had only worked out after Major Majors!
Is this based upon someone’s book or is there actual proof that this is what happened?
This seems an appropriate response (NSFW):
Nah I get it. I was mostly looking for an excuse to post the video and laugh at Bobby Hurely wearing kids medium shorts.
I think i spit out my coffee laughing about 7 times in this video. lol. well done. i didnt like duke admittedly nor did i like the celtics back in the 80's. duke i could care less about but it still haunts me that i didnt root for the 80's celts as a little kid.. i want to travel back in time and grab my 9 year old self and put a larry bird jersey on me..
It takes a lot to get me to legitimately laugh out loud and this clip got me a good 4-5 times.
when laetner says he just gave the guy on the floor a "tap" with his foot then it goes back to him and he says "azzhole", i literally lol'd.
i took it as a compliment to coach k. a white coach with multiple white players dominated a black sport against more athletic black teams. he's kinda just complimenting him and the duke culture in a comedic way.
Make me miss when you actually knew who college players were and they were around long enough to like or hate. Now? It is like playing an EA Sports college BB with a bunch of generic names.
