...I turned it off

[PixelDevil]

I've got no one to blame but myself. Apparently, I just missed one of the greatest comebacks in Duke history.

#yaavatar..I said I was going to sleep but with one eye open I was ah still peeking. slowly but surely opened both eyes. we cut it to 5 and I sat up in the bed. we tied the game I awoke the house!!!! then we won. I won’t sleep tonight !!!! Fkkk haha

 

[Lavar5150]

Watched it all. Looking for some
Pride and got way more than that!

 

[bluedevilfan42]

You’re not alone. I did too when Goldwire missed that layup and then heard through the grapevine we were within 5 and turned it back. I’m super pissed at myself for losing confidence.

I didn’t change it but they have nothing and seemed like they wanted to do nothing. When they started running full court press that changed the game

Are you ready for this? I walked home from the bar, down 23... and my friend — a Kentucky fan— texted me, “I effing hate Duke!” I turned the game on, on my phone, and watched the end in front of 7-11. There were odd, drunken stares. It was worth it. I’ll now watch the second half again.

My husband (who is a UNC fan by the way) threw a fit after I turned it back saying that there was no way that Louisville could all of a sudden start turning the ball over that much and Duke suddenly starting hitting their shots. He claimed the fix was in and I promptly told him he was full of ****.

It was hard to not turn it off. I'm so glad I didn't.

I angrily turned my tv off when it was a 23 point Louisville lead and Duke turned the ball over. Chugged a bottle of water, stepped outside for a minute and turned the game back on. It was a 16 point deficit, then Louisville hit a 3 to make it 19 again. Almost turned it back off. I have seen a lot of college basketball games in my days. I don't ever count Duke out when there is 10 minutes left, but I counted them out tonight. Wow

That’s why I say thank God for DVR. I have already hit record button on the replay tonight. I will have to see what I missed

 

[jrtplaya]

Shame on you all!! Never give up!!!

I’m not proud. It had already been a long day and my stress level was up. Lesson learned.

Everyone has flaws. Bless you for staying with him despite his.

I keed, I keed.

Back in 01, we were down with maybe 4 minutes left. Said screw it and took a shower..... Got out of the shower with maybe 50 seconds left and saw the miracle minute. Learned my lesson.

You’re spot on. Thank God he has just enough good qualities to override that major flaw

 

[skysdad]

A lot of us gave up. Duke and Coach K didnt. We"ll be discussing this for years. OFC

No shame Pixel. I turned it off because I had an early morning and desperately needed my sleep. I checked the score at 7:49 left and we were down 19 and I knew I had made the right decision to go to bed. Buuuuut, right as my eyes were getting heavy, I thought "what the heck" and decided to check the score again checked and it was a FREAKING TIE BALL GAME with 1:23 to go!?!?!?!!! Ran to the TV, caught the end. Re-watched the entire 2nd half, plus all the highlights. Who cares about an early morning right?!
Lesson learned......thank goodness I didn't bash our players as well...

 

[Neners]

Hey, at least you watched! I came home and crashed. Didn't see a minute of the game. Smh.

 

[dukephysics]

I went to bed with about 12 minutes left

 

[Showenuff]

Man. You people. I've turned ONE Duke game off EVER in the middle of it. INDIANA DUKE , March 22nd 2002. The ONLY reason i turned it off was because my wife was screaming in labor and Natalie was coming out. Hahahahahahaha! My wife screamed in her best exorcist voice , ' IF YOU DONT TURN THAT F***ing TV OFF I'M GOING TO KIL YOU !!!!! We lost. BUT NATALIE IS BEAUTIFUL!

 

[retiredsoldier]

I turned it off in the man cave, came down stairs with the wife and watched it in the bedroom. Told the wife I can't turn it off, I need to see this to the end. We both just wanted to see them fight and show their pride. Lol, she started her favorite saying for them " come on babies, you can do it duke." She was going just as crazy as I was, and she is usually the calm one between us lol.

To be fair, Duke wins 75% of the games I turn off prematurely
Duke/AZ '11 S16: L
Duke/UNC '16: W
Duke/UF '17: W
Duke/UL: '19: W

 

[MSUbluedevil]

I changed the channel to watch the end of the Michigan/Penn State game (love to watch U of M lose) out of frustration when we got down by 23, but I kept checking the score on my phone. When it looked like we were FINALLY getting into a rhythm offensively I turned it back on. At that point we were down by 16, then 14, then 11, then 9....you know the rest. What a crazy game.

SO PUMPED that Goldwire was a major part of the comeback too. That is going to be huge for him, and for our depth going forward. Coach K is truly a wizard.

 

[dukebluesTX]

I actually woke my wife up last night when I read the original post and saw his gif because I laughed so loud. That was the perfect gif for this thread

UNC fans used to lol at State fans for their INFOWARS conspiracy theories about the refs always favoring Dean. Now they’re the favorite guests on that program.

 

[JohnstonCDevil]

I was worried, but I never gave up! Watched it all and woke by wife up hollering when Zion got that last rebound!!!

I'm going to just tell myself the reason we came back was because I turned it off. It'll make me feel better.

Should have reminded him the fix from the NCAA was in allowing UNC to get away with years of fake classes! Lol
