The Duke bandwagon, that is.

Is that any way for a lady to talk?I bet Jay tastes his own farts.
FTFYGood stuff here. Wonder if Bilas gets burnt out this late in season. Producing wrong predictions all the time must get boring.

I'm just not sure about him. What I want to know is where the mid 2000s Bilas went? He became self aware at some point and he's just not as cool as he used to be. He's still better than most and supports the Devils when it counts, so I'm happy he's popular.Are we ever gonna give Jay a break. OFC
I just be one of the few that actually doesn't mind Jay.
WHAT ARE YOU IMPLYING?!!!!!!!There are many more than you think. The crazies often have the loudest voices.
I am bothered by his sanctimonious refusal to condemn the blatant hypocrisy and fraud at Carolina in the name of NCAA bashing. He lost credibility with me on that issue.

I'm not bothered by Bilas bending over backwards to avoid looking like a Duke homer (that's what distinguishes Duke grads from the pompom carrying Carolina grads like Hubert and Kenny Smith).

This would have compromised however ESPN's relationship with a basketball blue blood, and Jay's relationship with the athletic dept and Roy Williams.

Everything you posted prior to this was at least somewhat plausible. This is just beyond ridiculous.
He didn't really do that, though. He acknowledged many times there were shenanigans taking place and that UNC was guilty of not following through as an academic institution. What he didn't do was call for the athletic department's head. That's why you're mad....despite it being clear long before the ruling that nothing was going to happen to them because of how NCAA bylaws were stated. Jay wasn't looking at the situation as a Duke fan or someone who hates UNC. He was looking through a much clearer lens than most college basketball fans.
UNC cheated. Everybody knows that. But the NCAA had their hands tied. Most practical observers knew the outcome because of the by-laws long before they were released.
I've been sitting here trying to say and post what you just did. He saw things as they really were and unc did their home work and pulled a fast one not only over the NCAA but the entire collegiate sports world. They knew what they were doing for all those years and they knew if it went to court unc would win.It was dirty no doubt but Jay Bilas knows he stuff. Very proud he played at Duke and he has enough stones to call it like it is. During games he says the things we Duke fans are thinking about whats going on. When unc is in the transition offense and Duke is getting beat by it he says it. I know I won't any ones mind about him but I can't believe we want a homer. I've heard Mike Gminski, Jay Williams and Jim Spanarkel say it the way it is also. The problem is about Jay is he's high profile and some of us just listen for things we can be critical. Next time you listen to Jay Bilas listen to every thing he says instead of what you want to hear. OFC
No comment....

Then why make a comment?
Because I felt like it. Sorry it bugged you djb, more sorry, not sorry really....OFC
This is where I tell my kids they don’t get a treat before bed.
I think that’s what I have trouble with. Which makes every little thing he does to praise UNC seem so big and blown out of proportion.This is my biggest beef w/him.

His ego is his biggest enemy.
I edited and bolded to point something out: a smart, witty, knowledgeable guy with a law degree shouldn't be limited to discussing basketball when his knowledge extends far beyond that.I would like to see Jay stick to what he is best at-sharing his knowledge/insight of the game and college hoops... He's too smart, witty, and knowledgeable to wind up coming off as borish, like he often does lately.
