This was what Keysor wrote. It made me smile:

"It is not casting stones nor is it to excuse the actions and misdeeds of a rogue ACADEMIC dept that athletes benefited from..as well as many other regular students at Carolina."

Haha.

Meanwhile, some footage from duke's secret scrimmage was leaked online.

58 JuleZ '02 HEEL, Today at 9:16 AM

That was the edited version. Here is the real deal. This time we're doing it at the Gnome.

There aren't even words to describe what a complete fool DSouthr is. He is nauseating.

DSouthr is probably a man that wets his bed and shitts in his pants. He is a legend in his own mind.

 

[KellenPatrick]

Amazing how gary goes on for like two pages arguing about what the final score REALLY was of their little "secret scrimmage." It kills him to think they only won by 11 so he claims one of his "sources" told him it was actually 25+ just to make himself feel better about it. Needs to know they dominated when maybe they actually didn't. Why would he even care?? Because he is yet another sicko nut job over at THR.

I ventured over to RR to see what they thought of KU after their exhibition game last night. The majority thinks KU sucks and Duke's not much better. No wonder they have a meltdown when they don't win the championship. I think that they think they have another 40-0 team this year.

I watched that game last night because I wanted to watch josh Jackson play. He didn't do anything at all in the first half, but in the second half he showed signs of flashiness and ended up with 14 points. That legerald Vick guy looked pretty good as well.

keyersosay comparing Andrew Platek to Grayson Allen. Really? How does that happen? Grayson is a future first-round pick that averaged 21+ ppg for one of the premier teams in the country. Platek is a 3-star recruit that averaged less than 12 ppg and shot 36.9% from 3. Other than that, it's a spot-on comparison.

Ah the guy he reminds me of...without all the doochbaggery and obvious dirty ballplayer nature that is adored in Derm...is Gumby Mcflopper. He can shoot it, savvy, smart, decent passer.... handles??? Hell he isn't a PG and lacks a certain degree of quickness But he will light it up and be the kind of player America loves as opposed to the despicable ahole that plays in Derm

Ha, I just came over to post this. America will "love" this nobody, huh? What a miserable jackass. "Gumby McFlopper." DUH. What the hell is he, 11? Real witty and clever for a supposed adult. I have said it before but we do NOT have anything over here even close to 6-8 of the main idiots over at THR. It isn't even close.

Coryfly:
He definitely had players he could have played last year. He just chose not to, which is cool. Like you said, they weren't really all that shorthanded though. That was just the narrative.

Then the typical "I hate K more than Bin Laden" warped hatred from Archer about a man he has never met. Some idiot on a message board calling one of the greatest coaches of all time, in any sport, a "tool." You have got to be kidding.

"Amen Cory. K perpetuating one of the biggest urban myths of all time, saying he only had 5 players when he had Obi(almost averaged a double double as a freshman at Temple), Kennard, and Jeter(top 30 coming out of high school). He is such a tool."

 

[KellenPatrick]

TPFKAPFS here. These last few are in a thread asking who is better, Meeks, Hicks and Bradley or Jefferson, Bolden and Jeter. The OP conveniently leaves out Giles while claiming their 3 frontcourt guys are definitely better. Lol. A few actually do remind him about Giles though.

"The issue with ratty is he refuses to develop peeps when his team is healthy! Nobody cares what he does after injuries because it is out of his hands. If he developed his bench by giving them playing time early (when wins and losses matter less) he would have peeps ready to step in at need. Roy plays his entire team and then the next man is ready to step up!

I'll take our talented experience over their supposedly uber talented inexperience any day of the week. Jefferson is the only big with any significant experience so I give us a decided edge.

puke and ratty suck anyhow so our team or frontcourt is by definition better! Who is afraid of Obi won't Getoffthebench or Weird AL Vrancovich?"

 

[KellenPatrick]

More from that nasty ass lowlife Archer:

"Then why did Knight Lite say he only had five players, Boogie? My whole point is he's a whiny liar. Jeter could have played a lot more than he did, as could have Vrank. And where was the talk of Obi being "broke down" last year?

When you choose not to play your depth, and then complain that you have no depth, it is farcical. He whines to get sympathy because his team underachieves and dook fans and the media believe that myth and promulgate it.

"Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining."

So I guess even if people aren't really able to play or just not ready you should throw them out there anyways. Makes sense...

First, Obi played at Rice his freshman year. Ob=i has two bad knees and couldn't play much even if he wanted to last year.

Second, Jeter and Kennard played. Kennard played a lot all year. Jeter towards the end of the year. The only reason he didn't play more early is because he basically was a deer in headlights that had forks for hands and was averaging a foul or 2 per minute of game action.

Cory can talk about narrative all he wants, but it doesn't make him right.

Coach K and Roy are both HOF coaches who do it a completely different way. Coach K's record speaks for itself here though. He plays guys who are ready to play. If you are not ready to play, you don't. This isn't a new age little league here. Not everyone gets playing time because they are a warm body. I am not saying what Roy does is wrong, he has his way and has distinguished himself as one of the best coaches of his generation, but to say K would be better off doing it that way is silly.

3 star recruits become 5 star recruits once they commit to unc. Just the commitment elevates them to NBA caliber. OFC

 

[dukedevilz]

Makes sense. I mean, how could he not be an NBA caliber player under the guidance of Roy? And did you know Roy once coached a 4-star recruit that made it to the league? True story.

K plays his best hand....one thing with Roy is that his stars sometimes sit on the bench for large chunks of time....K doesnt do it that way....2 diff coaches ...2 diff philosophies...both very successful

There is a reason why Duke not only makes the tournament each and every year, but we are almost always a 1-3 seed. We play the players that are ready to play because it gives us the best chance to win each and every game. Maybe if Roy or Cal could identify the players that are game ready they wouldn't spend years in the consolations tournaments.

Since 1990 these are the seed history for Duke, UNC and UK

Duke
1-12x
2-7x
3-4x
4-16: 3x
Missed Tourney: 1x

UNC
1- 11x
2- 3x
3- 2x
4-16- 8x
Missed Tourney: 3x

UK
1- 9x
2- 4x
3- 2x
4-16- 8x
Missed Tourney: 4x

Again, I am pretty sure Coach K knows who can play and who can't and it is why we haven't missed the tourney in forever and it is also why we always get near top seeds.

*I bolded the most per category. As you can see 1-3 is dominated by Duke, kind of important.

Key, for all intensive purposes is a grown man. And he's bashing the living bejeezus out of a 19-20year old kid. Who's the asshole?

I mean holy smokes man, it's freaking college basketball. You dont like our team, our coach even, fine. but stop bashing the freaking kids.

 

[timo0402]

Correct. They can try and justify it or whatever helps them sleep at night to convince them that what Roy does and how he coaches is better than K, that's fine. Doesn't make it true, but that's part of the rivalry.

I'll stand by Coach K's 1000+ wins, 12 (i believe) final 4's, 5 National Championships, and countless lottery picks. I'll also take his former player's word for it too, so many so that you can't even count how many absolutely adore the man and look to him as a father figure to them.

I'm sure that is all part of his master 40 year manipulative plan though. It's like the Seinfeld episode where Kramer think's it's a conspiracy that made Mom & Pop run away with all of Jerry's shoes after being in the neighborhood for 60 years.

Another reason OAD types are on the fence about going to UNC. The best players do not always get the bulk of the minutes. On the flip side to that it is why the 3 and 4 star players like UNC (one reason anyway.) they know whether they are better than others or not doesn't necessarily matter. Roy plays everyone.

and at times, he sits a kid right after he just made a string of good plays.....K isnt going to take an on fire Brandon Ingram and sub him out for Jeter or Robinson, just because...or currently take a hot, keyed in tatum out, so jack can play

 

[Dukesince90]

Yeah, sometimes I think Roy needs to be coaching high school ball and keeping the players and parents happy.

It is pretty funny to hear their obsession with K not playing a deep bench. Archer's obsession with last year's team is comical at best. He can't get over the fact that Vrank (not good enough), Obi (can barely walk) didn't play. Obi hasn't even suited up in either CTC or the exhibition games. Feel bad for the guy. He's also obsessed with this theory that K only played or said he had 5 guys, which isn't accurate. We in total had 7 and he played 6 very regular minutes until chase was ready to play. Call me stupid, but the point of games is to win them. The best way to win games was to play those 6 guys. sorry this isn't a socialist society where Luke Maye has to get minutes every game.

Luke Maye? You mean the hybrid Larry Bird/Charles Barkley? A couple of guys over there (see gary) are pumping him up like no other, I don't get it.

If you say things long enough and enough times you start to believe them yourself....the truth be damned. Archer has no clue what he's talking about.

Gary was touting Stillman White a while back. Here's a snippet from White's bio on goheel.com:

JUNIOR SEASON (2015-16)
"Saw action in 18 games off the bench as a backup point guard • Scored a basket against Tulane"

Gary has a keen eye for talent.

Have u read the thread called "poor Grayson Allen on RR"? It makes me sick the way they treat Grayson. I would rather have Grayson Allen any day than Derek Willis who was passed out laying in the road next to his car! Grayson owned up to his mistake and is ready to move on from the whole tripping ordeal. Everyone else should be able to as well. I agree that Grayson should have never done that but he did it and he owned up to it and is ready to move on. Oh. Yea he also attends class and is doing well in school.. something the UNcheat faithful would know nothing about. This is why I feel like I can never compliment a UK player or a UNcheat player. Those two fan bases never show our players any respect. Why I should I show respect for their players? I never will.

Its pretty childish when adults twice the age of Grayson are calling him the horrific names they call him. But hey! That's the U.K. Fan base.

 

[gottagonow]

Childish is giving them too much credit. I believe the worst thing we have said about a tar hole player is calling Meeks a people eater saying he ate a player or something like that and how he eats so much and saying big Luke Maye looks like a wombat. The heels fans on THR call Grayson an ahole and horrible person, a pos and many other nasty things. I am proud to say that we have much more class on this board. Poor coach K is called every nasty in the book and about the worst thing we call Roy is Goober or Huckleberry Hound. The uNCcheats are some really hate filled fans.

It's like both fan bases are almost to the point that they wish harm on Grayson or Coach K and that's very disturbing to me considering one is just a basketball player and the other is just a basketball coach at the end of the day. I WOULD NEVER wish harm on any player or coach like both of those fan bases do. Really Really Sad!!
