***DUKE VS NORTH CAROLINA OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[K-oach Q]

I would put in Tre, Goldwire, Stanley, Moore and Jav..Sub in Vernon and Jav back and forth.

We D up and play fast defensively or we go home...

since we can quote ourselves ^ I pretty much nailed this

Vernon fouled out which finally forced this on K...outside of the five it’s what we ran.

 

[QC Dukie]

Where are all the downer dans now that said we are done. The ones that said anthony was a superior athlete to tre. The ones that ssid after we lose to fla st monday we’ll be a four seed. Take that s*** somewhere else.

 

[retiredsoldier]

[Dad2ze]

Wow!!! Still on a high

 

[PixelDevil]

Hopefully Bilas stays in Chapel Hill, it's where he belongs, really.

 

[tclark6]

Tre telling Holly he was trying to be like his big bro...priceless!

You know what? I got pretty drunk at the bar tonight so hopefully it makes sense. Forget the national titles, forget the final fours. Too much emphasis gets placed on a single elimination tournament that we lose sight on the season at hand. Tonight. Take tonight for what it’s worth. Drink a beer, smoke a cigar, do whatever it is that you do to celebrate. Forget about everything and embrace tonight. We beat our rival in one hell of an exciting fashion. Worry about tomorrow tomorrow. Celebrate tonight and enjoy the ride just as much as you may celebrate or criticize the finale.

Does this make up for me turning off the Louisville game last year?

So funny story. Last year I turned off the game with like 10 minutes left but paid attention to the board and when it got close watched the rest on my iPad.
Tonight with 4 minutes left I did the same thing because I was swearing too much in front of my son lol. I realized how far behind the game is on my ipad when at the end of the game and overtime my son is going nuts in the living room and I’m going what????? What the heck happened lol???????

 

[jwill133]

Tre stuck the dagger into UNC’s season, they are dead

anyone wanna go put everything on red at the casino?

 

[retiredsoldier]

See this is why some of you need to ban yourself from posting during games. You just look stupid when it’s all said and done. We see the true believers. BIG TIME WIN! Something about those Jones boys during crunch time. Great move to go small in the end by coach. Moore makes a helluva difference for us. He’s turning into the most important player on the team because of his ability to handle the ball and guard EVERY position. Their bigs couldn’t even get the ball in the paint against him. That kid has so much heart. That entire small lineup let it all out and never gave up. We’re winning the championship. We got so much heart and depth.

Man, I 100% agree with you. For me, you are spot on.

 

[dbav]

I like being positive! Winning is fun!

 

[QC Dukie]

Hopefully Bilas stays in Chapel Hill, it's where he belongs, really.

He and Anthony are gonna spoon tonight to console each other.

 

[PixelDevil]

Looks like the visitor locker room in Chapel Hill is the place to be right now

 

[retiredsoldier]

I'm about to watch this game again and try to calm myself since I know they won. Not a guarantee though and I don't care lol.

 

[LONMUNU]

I still say burn those unis

 

[DukefanKY]

I like being positive! Winning is fun!

No one here is more positive than you.......you blue goggles homer!! You don’t even realize Tre and Moore suck!!

 

[PixelDevil]

I still say burn those unis

From what I gather on Twitter, they're not letting them burn the benches. I know something else they can burn instead...

 

[gottagonow]

I just got a text from Tre Jones and Wendell Moore and they said for all of us to enjoy our 10 or 12 points they got us in the pick um contest tonight.

 

[QC Dukie]

Damn I love this team. They never quit, and that’s just an extension of the man roaming the sidelines.

 

[Duke1783]

A Cheater friend of mine just said Teddy V helped us out all night lol!!!

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Where are all the downer dans now that said we are done. The ones that said anthony was a superior athlete to tre. The ones that ssid after we lose to fla st monday we’ll be a four seed. Take that s*** somewhere else.

Seriously where are they. They have all of the sudden quit posting.

 

[dbav]

No one here is more positive than you.......you blue goggles homer!! You don’t even realize Tre and Moore suck!!

I was somewhat critical of Moore at the beginning of the season. Then @timo0402 and @dukehokie helped me see it from and different perspective. I'm happy they did. I love this team and I'm proud of these kids and the way they represent my alma mater.

 

[Louisville Crazie]

I'm about to watch this game again and try to calm myself since I know they won. Not a guarantee though and I don't care lol.

I already got the replay set to record. I’m going to rewind that Stanley tip in back probably about 15 times though.

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

A Cheater friend of mine just said Teddy V helped us out all night

Right! how many block calls did they get vs all of our charges

 

[QC Dukie]

Seriously where are they. They have all of the sudden quit posting.

Same ones everytime. So predictable

There are a couple of gameday threads every year that I geek out on when I get the honor of posting them. I know, I know, it’s probably silly - but, it’s special to me. I was trying to think back how long I’ve been doing this for, and how many Duke/Carolina games I’ve posted the gameday thread for...

If my time frame is accurate, I’ve been posting the Duke gameday threads since 2008-2009. That’s 12 years, two national championships, and many, many beat downs (ok and a couple losses) of the Holes during my time.

Many of the elder statesman around here (COUGH***COUGH) @skysdad and @OldasdirtDevil I get can remember back when Roshanritter (sp?) started them, and then literally one day came up missing lol...I’ve done it since, and I want to say thank you for allowing me the privelage that this tradition is for me.

So what my wife, and anyone that isn’t a part of this crazy family we call DI would know much this site, and most (yes I said most) of the posters on here are part of a very cool community of fanatics and in the process, have become friends. So thank you - from the bottom of my heart.

The point of ALL of my rambling, is to respect how uniquely awesome this rivalry is and they we get to live it two - occasionally three - amazing times a year; and we’re back for another round.

On to today’s game! I’m not sure what to think about tonight’s game. On one hand, I see a UNC team that’s down as much as they’ve been since the 2009-2010 season, which is amazingly fun to laugh it. But I also know that this rivalry is so intense, records can be thrown out the window and on top of that, we’re in the Dean Dome so I expect a battle. Nonetheless, I really like our chances. In fact, some of the best games we’ve played all year, were games where the stakes and media coverage were higher than normal and we’ve risen to the occasion.

Duke enters tonight tilt a -7.5 favorite. From a Vegas standpoint, it’s right we here I expected it to be, from a rivalry standpoint, that’s giving a lot all things considered. We will win but my gut says we won’t cover....

“The Rivalry” will tip tonight at 6pm est. and will air on ESPN.

Duke 82

UNC 77

GO DUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We love what you do, K-ville, and being on here with great guys like you, and so many other great posters. I wouldn't have missed it for the world. I love DI, our great posters, and our incredible Duke Blue Devils!

OFC

sorry Moore lol

 

[retiredsoldier]

You ride or die Duke brothers have a great night and enjoy this awesome win. For the select few of you, that can be seen without even turning on my green laser on my night Bino's, you can go, well never mind, just go lol.

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Same ones everytime. So predictable

I’m really not trying to be mean about it, but we are all celebrating a hard fought victory and all of the sudden, literally no posts from them. Amazing!

 

[Deviled Egg]

Has to be soul crushing to UNC fans right now lol

There is no better taste in the world than tarheel tears!

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

And some of the so called, I'm going to show up when things are going bad fans. Tore their poor little hearts out. And they have until Monday night to come back and try it again. Good luck with that Sh**!

Hahaha, Retiredsoldier, some of our guys just can't help themselves with that negative crap. They should have a little faith in our team, and our great coach. And even if you don't, at least show some respect for our players. I love Duke, win or lose (and I know you and many others do too).

OFC

Be mean!! Eff them posers!!

 

[tclark6]

The Holes let the whole Dome down...haha! I’m still in shock...

 

[QC Dukie]

Was this a quadrant 4 win?

 

[DukefanKY]

Was this a quadrant 4 win?

Now that’s just mean!! GOOD JOB!!

 

[duhondukie]

Anyone have links to the pressers?

 

[dbav]

Was this a quadrant 4 win?

If quadrant 4 = awesome, then yes!

 

[germantondevil]

That has to be one of the top comebacks in this rivalry. I can’t ever remember Duke hitting two shots like that at the end of Regulation and then overtime as well!!!! Unreal

 

[bluedevilfan42]

I do!! But I might get banned if I use them!!

I used all my filthy words standing in front of the tv
