Seems like the best reply to me.
BTW, UNC will be fine. They lost to a game Texas team that played higher than their pay grade. I think UNC is pretty good and only will get better. JMO.

The only addendum I would add to that Denn is that I'm not sure their ceiling to get a lot better is the same as some other teams. Continued improvement from Jackson and Berry will be key....otherwise I do think they're kind of the same team. A pretty good team, sure....but kind of what we've seen the last couple of seasons.
Sky, yes I know you have posted that but they never let up with the excuses. I would like them to say, maybe so we may read it just once "we lost because we didn't play quiet well enough to win and the refs called a fair and unbiased game". Was it you who said there were only a few reasons the tarholes ever lose:
1-the refs cheated them and all the calls went against them,
2-they had injured or sick players,
3-the other team played out of their minds and will never shoot that well again.
Heres what Steat had to say last week. "We have a new number 1 and they wear blue". (NBC poll)

I don't see anything from him this week saying "we have a new number 11 and they wear blue"

Anybody that makes fun or finds some humor in any kid getting hurt regardless of who they play for deserves a good backhand across the face.
Remember, it's Gary. He's connected. Just ask him and he'll tell you.
Trust me when I say this....there are people at THR who think he's a total clown too. They just can't say it for fear of repercussion(s).

Going over there and seeing the thread on Amile, i think there were like 5 replies all from the usual suspects. Not one had anything to say that was a shock to me- all negative. I'm sure we have some dbag fans, every base does, it's unavoidable. But they can not be any worse than those guys in that thread- Gary, Key, Heeled etc. Legit could be as bad, but can't be worse. The fact that they let so much pure hatred fill their beings over college basketball is sad. What a sad life to lead.
Jealousy is a very strong thing!
When I wish a get well soon on an opposing player or player of any sport I truly mean it. I'm a sports fan, injuries suck no matter what. There isn't one tiny part of me that is glad or happy when somebody like Paige misses games.
As Duke fans it comes easy to be a great sports fan, we envy nobody in any sport. Its been that way before I could walk. I'm thankful for that every single day!!!
Some UNC idiots would sell their first born to be where Duke basketball is and has been for sometime. And it's about much more then some recent success!!!
Every absurd ridiculous thing those morons mutter is just another compliment to the Duke basketball nation!!

I disagree with the bolded. I'd rephrase it to say, "they'd sell their first born child to where Duke is no longer relevant."
From Hall of famer Gary-7. "Probably incurred while celebrating a rebound.
If UNCheat played with half the passion Amile does, they'd be undefeated now and the clear favorites to win it all.
I've only posted twice on THR for "fear" of being banned and having to sign out every time I want to read their board but this comment here has me close to pulling the trigger...From Hall of famer Gary-7. "Looks like Jefferson at dook is out for a while as well. Foot injury of some sort. Probably incurred while celebrating a rebound.
Meeks is hurt too btw, with a knee bruise. You really think we couldn't have fun with that particular injury if we were a bunch of classless douchebags like the fools at THR?
I like Meeks, except for him being a UNC player and wish him a speedy recovery. If you jerks at THR read this, well, see how simple it is to wish players good health you jerks.
I agree...that THR group are morons. I bet they are secretly hoping Amile doesn't play against them, that way they have a better chance of beating us.
At least you prefaced it skysdad and said, "not in that thread"....
Side note about Meeks. Heard he ate 4 chickens last night and is feeling much better
For your winter reading list, I would recommend "Is Roy Beamering?" While only 9 posts long, it has potential to reach the NY Times best seller list if Tulane wins tonight.
One thing I love about Duke is that our fanbase doesn't fire our coach after every loss. The media doesn't crucify our coach because of his unwillingness to change. And our athletes don't throw the program under the bus.

All coaches who fail to retire on time will go over the hill and at least begin the process of potentially ruining what they accomplished. Frank Beamer just retired about 3 years too late. Bobby Bowden retired 4 or 5 years too late. Ditto Joe Paterno, who could be forced to do the right thing for the program only after the worst pedophile scandal in sports history.
ESPN's Myron Medcalf opens quite forcefully" "
Falling back into his seat at the postgame dais at the Frank Erwin Center after his team's loss to Texas on Saturday, Roy Williams opened the Q&A with one word and a sigh that summarized the mood of a North Carolina basketball team that's fighting, and failing, to preserve its former legacy.
"OK ... "
You can imagine the solemn tone.
The tone a teenager uses before he tells his parents why he really missed curfew. The tone your mechanic adopts before he hands you the bill and reveals that your car needs a new everything. The tone a prominent college basketball coach employs when he's blessed with elite talent but is still underachieving and losing his grip on one of the richest legacies in the game -- one that heeds to a lofty standard that's not met by a loss to a Texas squad that Texas A&M, Michigan and Washington all defeated."
A hard to swallow pill: "North Carolina's former success centered on three ideas: The Tar Heels were perennial national title and ACC contenders, they attracted America's top prep players and they developed NBA talent. That's not the norm today."
If you have followed my comments on basketball over the past 5 years or so, you will know that I see the problem as being, or at last being birthed inevitably from, Roy having slowly become a hidebound ideologue. He has a simple idea that once was bold and original, and he is a true believer, and, like Ahab chasing that whale, he will take the ship down with his idea, his ideology.
UNC no longer develops players, for great success in college or to last in the NBA, because Roy recruits and then trains to feed his system: run up and down the court the fastest to get off the most shots. To recruit for that, you cannot focus on perimeter D or half court D or fundamentally sound rebounding or outside shooting by Bigs or even 3 point shooting by Gs and WFs. Your starting point and your main focus is on players getting up and down court as fast as possible.
If you do not have a good, flexible, efficient half court offense, your ability to get off the most shots will cripple the team. If you cannot play good perimeter D, your team filled with 1st rate run-jump athletes is going to get exposed time and again.
At this point, I do not see Roy changing. He is a true believer in his system, He knows that if only he can land another Big like Hansbrough and another PG as fast as Lawson who in year 3 will finally be a 1st rate outside shooter and a WD who can nail 3s like Ellington, and have another 7 or top athletes to play with them then he can win another National Title.
And Beamer kept dreaming about another Michael Vick has his teams underachieved several years in succession.

I'm not gonna pull any punches here.
First, that article was a dumbass pile-on-after-a-loss piece, and I'll leave it at that.
Second, WTH are you even talking about? Roy coaches the best basketball system ever invented. That system is Carolina basketball. Should he be more flexible and multiple on defense? Sure, but Roy is the same Roy he was in '05 and '09.
Third, "Beamering"? Are you ****ing serious? Beamer punched the card to his own retirement by making the worst hire in history --- Scott Loeffler as OC (the exact same hire BTW, that previously cost Gene Chizik his HC gig at Auburn). It didn't have a damned thing to do with Beamer's "system". It was Loeffler's notorious incompetence.
Some of the stuff I read on here (not to mention the junk from Bruce in the podcast) just makes my head hurt.

Good lord, this post is just absolutely incredible. Thank you, Chapelheeled, for being the living, breathing embodiment of the word ironic:
In the past decade (most recent decade; since 2005) not a single head Coach has been to more Final Four Events than one Roy Williams. Facts be damned when certain posters hit the keyboard. The most amazing fact being that some people just do not know how wrong they really are. However I always attempt to remember that stupid is the one personality trait that simply can not be fixed...
If he was really fixated on actual facts, he'd realize that John Calipari (5) and Tom Izzo (4) have been to more in that time frame, and Roy is tied with Billy Donovan, Rick Pitino, and Ben Howland (3) during that same time frame.

^ And technically, Roy has only been to two Final Fours in the last 10 seasons. But he's been to three in the last 11.
Good point. So he's actually below all of those guys and tied with Coach K, Bill Self, Thad Matta, Jim Calhoun, and Brad Stevens.
Maybe by "Final Four Events" Chapelheeled was talking about complimentary buffets?
Good point, skysdad. Roy does have an NIT Final Four under his belt too.
Probably meant Roy ATTENDS the final four every year lol
It's the holidays so things are a little slow....but that doesn't mean our friends at THR aren't trying to be as stupid as possible. Upon hearing the news that Duke may have spoken to Udoka Azubuike and could be recruiting him, these gems popped up in the last 24 hours...
First from ChapelHeeled, the so-called king of the nuthouse....
"Duooke being in this recruitment is a joke to me. Who, just WHOM teaches post moves to Marshall Plumblee? Talk about a possible quick way to miss the Nba (jmho), then Duke would be the pick in my view. BTW, what took "K"ay so long? He is winding down with the USA Basketball gig anyway. I just do not see this ever actually happening. Then again, that is just me..."
Seeing that post must have pissed off KOOL123....so now he's trying to say something even more ridiculous....
"Looks like Capel is putting the Bag Men on the case....Not good for FSU,KU,and UNC...It is not if Capel will destroy the Evil Empire it's a matter of when...."
I'm sorry folks, but if you don't love some of these guys then you're just not trying.

One more quick....the brilliant Brandon Ingram thread started by none other than DSouthr. I'll link the whole thread because it is gold, but DSouthr got it started with this gem....
"So, you didn't want to be a post player, so you comitt to duke because K promises ya and crosses his lil ole ratty heart that you can be a 2 guard? Well hows that working out for ya now Brandan? Roy tells you the truth but it was a truth you didn't want to hear, K tells you the lie you wanted to hear and you bit that hook line & sinker!
Enjoy your soph college season...well then again, maybe don't ! LOL"
Does anyone even know what the hell he is talking about? First off, where was it ever said that K was going to make him a 2-guard? That's completely lost on me. And what did Roy tell him that was the truth, but K lied? According to Brandon, who I assume was part of the conversation with K (and not DSouthr), K told him he'd have the opportunity to display his skillset and play on the perimeter. That's exactly what he's done. How exactly does he interpret that K lied to him? He's obviously not watched a single game.
As for BI enjoying his sophomore season? It's not happening. He will, barring injury, be a top five pick in the upcoming NBA draft.
The traditional makeup of our team, specifically with Amile down, is not ideal. Even K knows that. But we'll see what adjustments K can make and if they'll work. That's open for opinion. But in the very least, I do know K will alter his style and try to play to this team's strengths. I know one specific coach who wouldn't go that route.
Oh yeah, here's the whole thread.

Saw both of the threads where those posts were from. Just laughed. Poor Dsouth is just one of those guys that thinks just because you say it, it makes it true.
Yea, D'Southr is so stupid he once stared at a carton of orange juice for over an hour because it said "concentrate"
