So to be clear, you got pissed off because you didn't know what an acronym stood for and then decided it meant something that wasn't even remotely close to what it actually stood for? And you subsequently used that as a basis for mudslinging about @skysdad on your home board? Do you even appreciate how ridiculous you sound?

Haha, that's true, Huffy, but our fire isn't nearly as pretty as their fire! And THR's is an everlasting flame!

I get it mark, alright? Not one of my finer moments. There's a lot of mudslinging on both sides, including mine, and I got caught up in it.

It should have been tagged with "Roy Knew" or "Roy loves AFAM" also, haha.
It certainly wasn't.
You should really stop making excuses at this point, especially since we now all know the ridiculous basis for your initial animosity.
I haven't offered any excuses, mark. As I said before, I understand that I'm not going to be met with the warm and fuzzies over here.
This is an excuse:
You should have just admitted you had no idea what OFC meant and left it at that. Your misinterpretation of an acronym has nothing to do with "mudslinging on both sides." It was simply manufactured animosity, and you're the only one to blame for that.
Just call me Old Fart Hart....Its an honor at this stage...I think we should make a movie, "Grumpy Old Farts." OAD, great work, as usual friend!!!

You're right, I had no idea. None. I thought it was a way to promote duke as the purer school while also taking a jab at Carolina. I was wrong. And I was wrong to make insults based off that alone.
Thanks to Oldasdirtdevil's explanation above, I am too am a ways off! Though I was close on when coach K began at Duke. Missed by a couple years.

gary on his soap box-
Weak. Pop coaching is NOTHING like the advantage a college coach gets. And for the record, Dean specifically cited the unfair advantage as a reason college coaches shouldn't get more than one stint.
Let's get this straight once and for all.:
One Olympic sport is not as important as the integrity of college basketball in general, and they'll do just fine without him. There is NO valid argument justifying K's position. None. And trying to rationalize it just makes you look silly.
Who wants it? Mark? Denn? DJ? 301?

This one by DSouth is pretty funny:
Boogie, while I can not blame K for taking the advantage of being the team USA coach, I do STRONGLY disagree that it was K that saved our Olympic basketball narrative I see so many so wanting to spout. It was those NBA players that bonded together embarrassed that the country that produces the best basketball players on the planet were not wining Olympic gold. Those best players on the planet, led by the current best player on the planet were the reason Team USA re-established itself.
Matter of fact, I watched every game I could from this past (Olympics and that team to me struggled against teams they should not have. Even not having our very best we should not have played a close game but they played what, 3 very close games? Where was that magical coaching then
So Coach K isn't the reason USA Basketball has rebounded from the disaster of the early 2000's, but it is his fault that we played 3 close games in Brazil. Uh...what?

Haha, I wonder what they will say if we only get a silver or bronze in the next Olympics.

THR guys will be rooting their hearts out for US to win the gold in the next Olympics. And it won't be for the right reasons, yet again.
To be fair to DSouth, he can at least agree that what K did wasn't cheating or unethical. Some of those guys (gary) think K is scum for stealing the opportunity away from other coaches. DSouth at least said, hey it's a recruiting advantage and a coach should be looking for those. But I agree, I think he's wrong about the job that K did.
Hope you guys realize that THR posters don't represent the bulk of Carolina posters on our boards. Even then, there are those who do go against the 'sunshine and rainbows or else' mantra over there.

Obviously. When you look through the near 100 pages of this thread they are mostly quotes of 5-10 of the same posters. Doesn't make it any less hilarious at some of the things they come up with. Really never seen mental midgets like that.
I don't get along with many of them frankly. That's why I got premium, and it's worth every penny. Especially with guys like Rob and Clint.
For the record, I don't give a damn who coaches team USA, I'm still rooting for my country. However, I do think K got a boost from coaching the team. Not an astronomical one, but it is an opportunity.
Bwahahahaha! Integrity! He's talking about integrity. A unc fan is talking about integrity.
Okay, that's all I got.
K definitely got a boost. How anyone could argue he didn't is beyond me. But it's a bit ironic the same one's saying he had nothing to do with turning around the program are the same one's who were questioning his coaching during that three-game span where the USA looked beatable this past Olympics.
Listen, I agree, in large part, that there were other coaches who could have done what K has over the last 10-12 years. After all, as many have pointed out, we still have the best players in the world. Those same people who think he was selfish to stay on the job, one being the knucklehead DSouthr, were hoping back in 2008 he would keep the job forever because "it was taking away" from what he should be doing at Duke. Hell, we even have Duke fans who posted here and still do who were completely against it.
There's two things about this coaching USA thing that really bugs some UNC fans....1) they hate him and any success he has at anything (and he has a lot, so it's turned them into whiny, incoherent babies), and 2) it's been the praise heaped on him from players who've now had the chance to play for him, get to know him, and appreciate him as a person. That doesn't fit into the narrative UNC fans have made up in their mind and tried to pass along as fact for ages. Me? I eat it up because it drives them (more) batty and crazy.
I mean, listen, we're talking about integrity. Not the Carolina Way! Not The Carolina Way! We're talking about integrity. Not the Carolina Way; not the Carolina Way that I go out there and die for and cheat on every test like it's my last, not the Carolina Way, we're talking about integrity, man. I mean, how silly is that?
See.......... you know. It's integrity. That's IT!I mean, listen, we're talking about integrity. Not the Carolina Way! Not The Carolina Way! We're talking about integrity.

This stuff is just too funny. This is why I love posting here. The friendships we build here and the fun we have but we all still love Duke basketball and that's the main deal here. Everything else is just bonus. Thank all of you for the support about this especially gas. I had no idea of those post. Hadn't seen them. One of my weaknesses is I'm unaware of people who don't care for me so I don't realize when I may step over the boundary. I wish I could get back on dats side. I really like him but I did something and he burned the bridge. Perhaps should have been more sensitive about the OFC thing. After all I guess being a member of the OFC could seem arrogant if you may be a member of the OSC. (Old Sharts Club) and if I'm not careful that's the next stop for me. He's trying guys and I forgive hi and hope he excepts that. If he keeps posting here in a civil a cordial manner will reply to him in the same way. I've read some of his other stuff at OOTB and he really tries to get the board straight over there. He does question Mike Irby and why he lets thr get away with so much garbage. I really wish I knew what I did to get carolinablue34 so upset at me. If any of you ever get to know me off this board I'm pretty much the same person I am on the board especially when it comes to defending Duke and Coach K. I just can't take that. Believe it or not in real life I tend to run from confrontation until I get baked into a corner then I get sarcastic just like I am here. I've got a dsoutr post going here so bare with me now. I'm crazy in love with my wife who has no idea of what this board is all about other that she thinks I'm addicted which is true. For those who don't know she is a care giver to her 99 year mom. Her mom has dementia and lives with us. Debbie, my wife totally dedicates her life to her mom. She feeds her, cleans her as you would a baby. Everything. We have one child DukeSky85 who many of you know post here. He's a great kid and never ever has been a problem. I wish he would post more often. He is a little more sensible than I am but more direct and one reason he doesn't post more is he is busy along with his wife raising the fourth generation of Duke fans in my family. I know this is a loooonnnnggggg post and for those who can get through it thanks. On thing that I also wish carolinablue34 would tll us is what did he think OFC meant. OFC
God Bless your wife Sky!!! Quite a lady taking care of her mom....Dementia is such a sad and tragic thing, but God Bless you and your family!

Yep. She is special and her blessing bucket is over flowing right now. A great example of how a child should take care of their elderly parents in their needed years. Our parents took care of us when we couldn't take care of ourselves. OFC
Sky carolinablue34 said he thought it meant "of finer class". OF FINER CLASS THAN UNC. I guess and thus his assumption of arrogance on out part.
I thought maybe he didn't really know. You know the thing about assuming something. When you assume you make an ASS of U and me.
PS Sky, I wouldn't ever worry what I had upset a tarheel fan about.

That's correct, I thought it meant 'of finer class'. So basically, I didn't really know what it meant.
@skysdad
Don't have anything against you man. Especially when you wished mikey well. I made a judgement off something I didn't even know stood for. That was an error on my part.
