^lol
also Google Maps says it's 10.8 miles from Cameron to the Dean Dome
not that an extra 2.8 miles is a huge amount of distance, but the UNC fans can't even get the distance right 2/13/2014 11:08:14 PM |

Yea I was wondering where they got the 8 miles from myself. We like to go wander around Duke Gardens sometimes, so I knew it had to be longer than 8, so I mapped it and got 10.8 as well. 2/14/2014 6:45:59 AM |

Could be wrong but 8 miles seems like the number ESPN and the media always throw around
"These two schools, separated by just 8 miles..." That just sounds really familiar. 2/14/2014 9:42:33 AM |

You are correct, it's not based on fucking fact. But it also helps to prove his point: short, easy drive... the only reason Duke didn't make it was because they were scared to play! 2/14/2014 12:42:24 PM |

Now even the Governor is questioning the decision to continue to hold sporting events when the state is being hammered by inclement weather.

I must say I think its funny that the people are saying "WTH a Republican Governor that wants the state in even more of our business?" But my response is, the state is already involved in it. It was a public school that was pushing to have the UNC/Duke game. The private school said no. Due to the UNC system and NCHSAA, a lot of these sporting events are being held by state funded programs. So like it or not, we should be involved in people making the best choice for everybody to be safe. 2/14/2014 3:56:31 PM |

^ agreed. This isn't ncsu-bias here at all, but I think it was irresponsible of the UNC not to postpone the game themselves when it was clear how bad the storm was. 2/14/2014 3:59:05 PM |

Public safety is somewhat important. So you do want to warn people that the roads are blocked. But snow games are great. People who otherwise would never have a chance to see a Duke/Chapel Hill match-up--or maybe any game for that matter--get to walk six miles in the snow and have a blast. It's fantastic. 2/14/2014 5:11:37 PM |

Quote : | "One Duke fan, Jack Markham, said the lack of foresight by the university and the delayed postponement are unacceptable. He is seeking compensation from Duke Athletics Director Kevin White in the amount of $827.95 for his efforts, adding that he will not be able to attend the make-up contest on Feb. 20.
"I don't know really what to expect from the university, but I do want some recognition for the fans like myself that were betrayed by the lack of planning and effort," Markham said Friday. "It seems like they didn't put forth lots of effort having hours and hours to prepare."
Markham is asking Duke for returns of $162 for two tickets, $58 for lodging at the Red Roof Inn, $37.95 for the unused parking pass in the Smith-Bowles Lot, $170 in fuel costs for him and his friend who made the trip from Knoxville, Tenn. and $400 in "mental anguish."" | from wral.2/14/2014 5:18:10 PM |

But the point was that Duke would have beat them...ending this stupid fucking winning streak they were on. This team is riding high on confidence right now and this win against Pitt is only going to make it worst. Duke could have shot that down.

I don't think I've ever witnessed three correct calls against UNC at the end of a game in my life. Though, the stripes had to call some phantom bullshit at the end to make sure they didn't get butt raped on the way out. 2/15/2014 3:15:20 PM |
jbrick83 All American 23447 Posts user info edit post |
I thought that Zana dude was clearly fouled there in the end. I mean, they needed three, but there were other options had he gone to the foul line. And it essentially ended the game.
UNC played well, so I can't say Pitt gave the game away...but they definitely didn't play their best either. 2/15/2014 3:18:28 PM |
