What is the ultimate F-U in the historic rivalry between Duke and UNC college basketball? Beating Coach K in his final game AT DUKE takes the cake. Holy cow was the stage set. Duke as the #4 team in the country opened up as 11 point favorites over their inner city rival North Carolina. The stage was set. Coach K is going to deliver one final win over North Carolina and ride off into the sunset. 96 of his former players came to see the game firsthand, most expensive ticket in college basketball history, and all of it to crumble under the pressure and hand North Carolina maybe the greatest win in program history. A timeless win.

It was an absolute thing of beauty. I actually like Coach K to a degree but the whole production of thinking that they would walk in UNC and they would bow at Coach K's feet was so asinine. Honestly how dare you. Duke fans quite possibly experienced the most humbling moment in the history of sports and the emotion that poured out in the postgame was laugh out loud funny. Students at Duke literally in tears and holding one another as if they experienced some unimaginable tragedy. Get a grip will ya? You're a junior in college alright, let's not act like you've been with Coach K since he was hired in 1902. Things are going to be okay and you have an exam Monday morning.

What makes it so funny is that Duke was literally partying all day ready to dance on North Carolina's grave. Spent enormous amounts of money on this once in a lifetime experience and it was! It just happened to be one of the saddest life experiences ever if you were a Duke fan. Drunk tears everywhere, just pure carnage. And to top it off Coach K snapping at the crowd in the postgame ceremony just cemented how wrong this day had gone.


This. Is. March.

Bears Empty the Brinks Truck for New HC Ben Johnson

Image
  (photo is owned by Bleacher Report, we do not own the rights) This analysis based on the ESPN article (https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/43627047/nfl-bears-ben-johnson-coach-contract-caleb-williams) Are things finally changing in Halas Hall? On January 21, 2025, former OC of the Detroit Lions and offensive guru Ben Johnson became the new head coach for the Chicago Bears. If you had taken a poll when the head coaching carousel began, odds are the general belief was that the Bears were #1 not going to pay top market money to get the most sought after coach and #2 mess it up. But after the dust has settled it is clear that GM Ryan Poles, President Kevin Warren, & Chairman George McCaskey, were all in alignment to doing whatever it took to get Johnson to Chicago. This act serves as an anomaly when compared to all of the head coaches hired since Lovie Smith was fired in 2012. It has been a cycle of dysfunction and none more obvious than the most recent HC Matt Eberflus. He was n...

Back to the Basics: Build the Line

Image
  (Image is owned by the Chicago Tribune, we do not own the rights) The main focus that GM Ryan Poles needs to have going into the 2025 NFL Draft and free agency is addressing the offensive line. If last season taught us anything, it’s that shiny objects i.e. Caleb Williams, DJ Moore, Rome Odunze, Keenan Allen, & D’Andre Swift, are not enough to build sustainable success around. The big men in the trenches may not get the shine or glory, but they are what makes the wheel turn. In Caleb Williams rookie season, he was sacked 68 times which ties David Carr for the 3rd most ever in an NFL season. This is not a new concept to the Bears shortcomings as previous QB Justin Fields was sacked 55 times just 2 years ago in only 15 games played. In order for any offense to function efficiently, the quarterback needs time to operate. It's just that simple. With 3 selections in the top 41 of the upcoming NFL Draft, there should be no doubt which position group the Bears will be addressing. S...

The Padres Mess

Image
(photo is owned by 97.3 The Fan, we do not own the rights) If you would've told me on opening day that on 8/2 the Padres would be 53-55, 8.5 games out of 1st, and 5 games out of the last wild card spot, it would not have computed in my optimistic Padres fan brain. But here we are witnessing exactly that. To say this season has been frustrating to watch is an understatement on a colossal level. Whatever can go wrong, has gone wrong basically. Here's a breakdown of what has gone on for far too long:      Danny Vietti ⁦‪@DannyVietti‬⁩ San Diego Padres this season Extra-innings: 0-10 record -WORST IN MLB 1-run games: 6-18 record -WORST IN MLB (-6.62) FanGraphs Clutch Rating -WORST IN MLB .226 BA with RISP -WORST IN NL .217 BA in 7th inning or later -WORST IN MLB (10-16 record vs. current last place teams) pic.twitter.com/W97pV8nYlN   8/1/23, 2:27 AM     Whatever can go wrong, has gone wrong.
