What about where everyone knew about Guy’s mental health issues prior to January 2nd? Or was that made up?
He detailed his stress and mental struggles on FB later following the loss in spring of '18.

I’m never going to judge someone else for whatever they are dealing with because the fact is everyone is dealing with something. Anyone that would make fun of someone else for that is a loser, plain and simple. If someone said crap to Guy on twitter before or after that article was released is still a loser.Mental illness is nothing to joke about, even for professional athletes.
However, the Crazies have showed ZERO indication that this was anything more than good-natured fun, I don't see anything wrong here at all.
Kyle Guy came from a VERY wealthy area in Indiana, from a 2-parent household, and plays ACC D-1 basketball, he may not play in the NBA, but he will have a long professional career. He also just got engaged. Again...I'm not making excuses for him, but he is in a situation that 99.999999% of basketball fans would do anything for.
This opinion I’m ok with. It would have been hilarious to me but the novelty would have worn off and you know ESPN would have shown him 2000000 times during the game.To me the whole UMBC thing was going to be kind of lame for Duke to use. Doesn’t seem like something worth doing at all for any reason. Yes it’s amazing a 16 seed finally beat a 1 seed, but that doesn’t have shit to do with Duke.
Amen lyon.There's not a decent chance we get blown out. We're still favored to win the game. And I don't think there's any chance K made a decision to save face in the event of a blowout.
Lol, yes ESPN most certainly would have.This opinion I’m ok with. It would have been hilarious to me but the novelty would have worn off and you know ESPN would have shown him 2000000 times during the game.

This is a good post. Nobody is suggesting it’s not ok to disagree with whether or not it was a good idea. It is, however, sensationalism at its finest to suggest it’s somehow inhumane.
"Sensationalism at its finest? Good grief."

Messing with his personal demons and calling it inhumane is a bit of a stretch don’t you think?On the first post I agree, everyone is entitled to their opinion and glad you are enjoying the thread.

Yep...good grief is right.

And to save you the trouble, yes I’m not agreeing with you and agreeing with DJ and everyone else that is using pure common sense here. Bringing the UMBC kid in wasn’t aimed to mess with Guy’s personal bouts with depresssion etc. it’s sports. You’re making it out to be that the crazies were planning to throw glass bottles at his family on the stands, chant F-U, KYLE, say they were trying to get with your sister etc. but we all know that duke players actually get that kind of extreme reaction from fan bases.
But his name is GuyStar shooting guard for UVA, Pix.....
Lol, come on Hart it’s been time you start spelling Kyle Guy’s name properly.But his name is Guy
Lol, come on Hart it’s been time you start spelling Kyle Guy’s name properly.
Do we really think this UVA team will destroy us? Cmon! While UVA did beat us last year, it was only by 2 points..not to mention Duval/Allen/Trent scoring a combined 19 points. UVA returns 5 players from that team. If we almost beat them last year, we can beat them this year.. I have my faith in RJ/Zion/Cam.
Its a very positive move. The Crazies planned to focus Maura's presence at the game on explosive shooting guard Kyle Guye. Guye has experienced severe deression over that game and even sought therapy. He was even targeted by death threats from angry Cavalier fans for poor performance vs UMBC...
We're better than this at Duke. Crazies antics are awesome, but this plan was too extreme....
OFC
He’s had depression since being a kid, and yes death threats are sad, but this is in good fun and another reflection of how soft we have become as a society. As someone who’s battled depression (specifically from post concussive syndrome), I can attest the Crazies actions would be, if anything, something to chuckle at, even as Kyle Guy.
If you haven't been watching them, fine. UVA wrecked FSU and VT. At home, sure. But those are good teams. At full strength, on the road, we needed a last second game winner to beat FSU, and UVA ended that game early in the second. And VT was out of the game at half time. Yes, at UVA, but Duke and UNC play each other tough in those intra state rivalry games, and VT considers UVA to be arrival.

UVA is playing incredibly well right now. Last year's D with a more potent O. Shooters all over the court.
Hart I would just like to point out that Guy himself supported this. He said "let's make it happen" You can read about him supporting it here https://www.streakingthelawn.com/20...rginia-duke-kyle-guy-umbc-kj-maura-go-fund-me
Fun debate Hart. Let's just agree on one thing here, and that's that our Dukies need to come out and play like men possessed and crush these Wahoos in our house!!

Thanks for finding this. My UVA friends during conversation had told me that Guy himself was supporting it. If the Crazies wanted it and Guy himself supported it, not sure why it what made into such a huge deal. Sad to see it not happen since it wasn't a personal attack... but on to the game. We all here support Duke. Here's to hoping Duke can get this win at home. We all know the fans at JPJ will be sure to welcome the Duke team for the rematch on Feb. 9th.
But his name is Guy
Just please, please guys, don’t dive for any loose balls.
