Do you have all day?

Clearly you two have a history that really isn't worth the effort to know.

We all like to laugh.

I laugh at radar too. But you also once said to me Duke fans don't hate on Carolina like we hate on you. Isn't this kind of thread a bit ironic then? Granted 5-6 posters on THR make up 95% of the quotes, but still.

How long have you read THR? Honest question.

Laughing at someone and hating them are completely different things.

I haven't seen so many thr regulars posting here in years. OFC


Well, I'm glad to be back. It feels good.

I want to thank timo for tagging me in a poast so I could enjoy some civil discourse with my old friend Mark. And I also want to thank timo and the other mods for being so damn awesome and allowing me to poast here. If every board could have such awesome mods, the message board world would be a better place. I'm going to send Rivals a letter suggesting that they give you guys a raise. I also think y'all should be instructing mods of other boards how to be as awesome as y'all are.

Correct and looks like he is pulling a gary by hedging his bet saying the guy who told him isn't exactly always spot on.
Some of those THR dimwit thinkers must sit around and make up what they can post that will get them an ataboy or a "like" from the likes of Dsouthr, Gary7, Archer, Steat, ChapelHelled, Keryosey, Gunslinger and a couple of others. It is really pitiful that unless you have the good grace from those named above and a few others you are not worthy to post and your opinion is wrong. Its like "read this stupidity and see if you can post something more outlandish than this". Dsouthr must stay awake at night thinking idiotic crap up to post.
Like someone said before me, possibly a Mod or 2 are beginning to see how a select few are chasing other potentially good posters away. Hats off to those who seem to fight the ignorance of a few.

PS Gunslinger, post doesn't have an a in it.

Well, you are apparently not as obsessed as some others here because if you read that board as much as some here do, you'd know that I don't poast on THR all that frequently. I tend to stay on OOTB and Blitz. And while yes, I have a shitload of likes, it's more because me and some other zany characters on OOTB use it as currency. THR, not so much. I don't know, it's hard to understand for someone not a part of our little club. But if you'd like, I could sponsor your application and we'd see where that would go. I can't promise you membership but I do pull some clout around there. You let me know.

At least get the story right. I said a friend of mine is an Iron Duke with a friend in the AD. His AD friend told him he believes this will be K's last season. I also listed other reasons why I thought this could be K's last season. It's actually not bad rationale when talking about a 70 year old man. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Who gives a ****?
Who gives a ****? NO one honestly. Your exact statement was- "Next season is K's last. I'd bet Louigi's yearly salary on it."

This isn't the first time you've stated the same thing either.

Unfortunately, you are making definitive statements and then hedging "it's not bad rationale." Some of the rationale you used wasn't bad- age, stepping down from the HC of USA basketball are both good reasons. Granted neither will actually stop him after this season. Obviously his years are numbered, if i had to guess his last year will be in 3-4 years. But with the way that recruiting is churning, the amount he has delegated to his assistants and knock on wood the most important- his health, remain in good standing, there is no reason to stop just for the sake of stopping. He has always said, when the drive is no longer there then he will hang it up. Plus, if it helps you at all, I know quite a few people in the AD as well, and not one of them agrees with your friend of a friend of a friend.

Yes, that was my exact statement. I'll stand by it. But the thing about Louigi's salary was kind of joke. I don't actually have access to his money. BTW, do you know Louigi? Helluva guy. Makes a ton of money. I think he's in wealth management but I'm not sure. I'll ask him and then I'll come back and let you know.

In regards to the rest of your poast, I said ok man. I'm not asking you to believe the same thing I do. I already told you I don't give a **** if you, Mark or even any Carolina fans agree with me. It's my hunch. My guess. Again, if I'm wrong, my world will not be shattered. Why the **** do you care enough to tag me and then to continue on with this discussion? But I'll tell you what - I'll say it before every year and I'm bound to eventually get it right. Cool?

Nah, I have no interest in being a mod. I couldn't do it. Some people just have that innate moderating ability. I wasn't blessed with such a gift. But I will pass on the offer to some guys back at THR. Boy, those guys are the worst, aren't they? If anyone could use a class in "How To Be An Awesome As **** Moderator", it's them.

Wrong. GSD isn't on radar that much and certainly isn't part of the crowd you mentioned. He poasts mainly on OOTB and blitz. If anything he is the "anti-radar".

Please let slinger stay around for a while because he is proof of what most of us have been saying about him and some of his thr comrades for a long time. There's regular DI guys that haven't read his contributions on this thread yet that deserve a shot at him. As long as he doesn't get vulgar or starts derogatory statements about anyone let him show how he really is. He's a tar heel. He can't help it. It's his nature. Bless his heart. OFC

You can do it slinger. I know you can. We do have something in common and that is you love unc just as much as I love Duke. I don't hate unc, you, hof coach roy williams or anything or anyone that is part of unc nation and I hope you feel the same as far as Duke is concerned. You know 99.99999 per cent of the world don't even know about what we are discussing or what it's all about. So your statement about who gives a @%$# I'd say about .0000000000001 per cent of the world. OFC

How long have you read THR? Honest question.

Laughing at someone and hating them are completely different things.

Not long enough to know what went down.

And yes I agree. There is a difference between hating and having a laugh. But in case you missed it you guys also have a "Why Carolina sucks" thread on here, so you'll forgive me if I don't buy the fact that some of your posters aren't completely obsessed.

Man I really do despise that innate smugness you seem to carry.

However, that aside, I think you're putting GSD in the wrong category. He isn't one of gary or Archer's stooges. He's OOTB. You do know there are UNC fans outside of radar right?

Huh? I will forgive you for mischaracterizing people you've never met before because of a post on a messageboard?

Get lost with that nonsense.

Oh come on Mark. I acknowledge all the time that thr has problems that make it a difficult place at best, to post on. But to have an entire thread devoted as to why we suck? That doesn't strike you as a tiny bit hypocritical?

And yes I understand that ribbing each other is part of the rivalry, but the impression I get is that you think every Carolina fan is obsessed with hating Duke while no Duke fan is obsessed with hating Carolina. Which clearly is not true.

What? Based on what exactly? When have I generalized about the entire UNC fanbase and said they are all obsessed with hating Duke? You have been really good at mischaracterizing people today.

"blue34 "Why Carolina sucks" does not mean that we hate them. Hate is such an overused word. In this case it simple means "Why do Carolina fans say the dumbest crap you have ever heard", causing us to say "why Carolina sucks".

I'm just paraphrasing the conversation we had over on the main rivals board. Now if I were to guess, you probably meant that the three stooges on radar were more fanatical about Duke than most people here were about UNC. Doing my best trying not to 'mischaracterize' here.

Yes I realize that many of the comments were in jest or joking. But plenty are not.

And imagine if we had the same kind of thread over at radar or OOTB? You'd be mocking us til kingdom come.

To be fair, I didn't tag you, I was responding to someone who did. Does it matter of course not. But this whole thread is devoted to ridiculousness from THR, and thus thats where we find ourselves. Eventually you will be right. Hell even gary will be right at some point, well i guess he's never wrong, but he's never right.

Poast away here. Good diversion from work.

You're doing a really bad job of it.

At the time I was still relatively unaware of the current culture of thr. But even then, no one's really fixated on duke all the much. You only come into conversation when it comes to recruiting. Or if I'm being called a 'duke apologist'/'undercover duke fan'.

Anyway what I remember you telling was somewhere along the lines of "the problem I have with Carolina fans here is that they focus too much on hating duke and less time rooting for their own team". Now if you remember it better, by all means correct me.

It's all easily searchable.

First, regarding the NCAA investigation into academics, you said "What I dislike is the 'revenge' or eagerness of many UK and Duke fans to see us get the hammer. Punished is fine. Glee at misfortune not so much"

I responded with: "1) Revenge? Duke and UK have both outperformed UNC during the entirety of this ongoing academic fraud. Not sure what revenge has to do with any of this.

2) You'll have to excuse the glee by those on this messageboard. You seem rather level-headed, and I appreciate your posts in this thread. But the vast majority of UNC fans have been rather petulant about all of this. As has your head coach. Deny deny deny. Lie lie lie. Of course people are excited about the possibility of justice being served in this instance. That shouldn't be shocking at all, and you guys really only have your university, your coach, and yourselves (as a fanbase) to blame.
"

Then you said: "Duke fans don't have a leg to stand on, if this were completely reversed we'd be seeing the same thing from them."

To which I said: "Not me. Class of 2006. I'd be furious if Duke were to do this, mainly because it would be (and was in UNC's case) completely unnecessary. 100% unnecessary. UNC didn't need to cheat to compete and win titles. The brand was strong enough before any of this nonsense happened. Plus there is always so much talent in the state, and all those kids are spoonfed UNC love as they grow up. No need to cut corners."

Your reply: "You're definitely a better man than most. But I feel some of the outrage shown by some Duke fans is completely hypocritical. They only care about UNC being punished, not the freakin "integrity" of the game."

Later, @jarms24 posted a quote of yours from THR that said "And believe me, most Duke and Kentucky fans want to see us get the hammer. Hold no illusions about that, they think we cheated and that we should be punished accordingly."

You responded with: "Look we cheated. I said that only because a) I probably would have gotten banned outright if I had "

And all I responded with was: "That tells you everything you ever need to know about THR."

You responded with: "Not everyone is a blind optimist. But there are too many who think that barely anything is going to come of this."


In your mind, that exchange somehow turned into my believing that UNC fans "focus too much on hating duke and less time rooting for their own team." Interesting.

Again, this is all easily searchable. You should do your research before making mischaracterizing someone next time.;)

I can't even think of one poster here that acts like your cast of idiots. You, keysersosay, legendary idiot gary, Archer, DSouthr (that guy is just WOW), the thin skinned mod mike, Steat...and on and on

Well you clearly have lost any credibility you had, by referring to who you think are the "cast of idiots". You've now lumped me, and it was either you and/or someone else that lumped GSD in too, with the crowd that we clearly also have issue with. I just want to note that so that any other visiting fans can proceed by completely disregarding anything you have to say in regards to that board since you clearly don't know what you're talking about


Lol. I get tingly when you guys use that word. Unfortunately you only used it once, not 15 times in the same discussion like a certain other guy I know ;)

I just ventured over to look, and boy it is gold. It seems the natives are finally tiring of the Gary and Chapelheeled nonsense. What the hell took them so long? Those guys are insufferable. That could possibly be tolerated if it wasn't also accompanied by so much ignorance.

Yup. Look, as much as some of the poasters over here wanna lump anyone who poasts on THR into the same crowd - I'm glad you're noticing the dichotomy between the factions.

Just for the record that wasn't the exchange I was talking about.
