We (i.e. Tarheel fans) already knew these were great kids, but it's good to get the word out to those on the other side of the rivalry.<br /><br />Personally, I try to combat the *dookies are evil* mentality on the Carolina boards. Duke players generally strike me as good kids, and anybody on either side who has to fabricate some story about the players being evil in order to justify their fandom has a deranged view of sports.<br /><br />I'd really like to see the mutual humanization efforts prolonged and intensified.Winston Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08780746334199630779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974487880746995076.post-65349411386220968162011-04-21T13:47:38.694-04:002011-04-21T13:47:38.694-04:00I'm struggling to make it past the 4 minute ma...I'm struggling to make it past the 4 minute mark due to bordem. Aside from the Friday lyrics, I don't think anyone besides Johnston has actually used a real word. Everyone else is just making noises strung together.

It was mildly funny the first time, but to repeat it like that like it was a hilarious joke shows that D.J. Johnston has some real 'funny' chops.<br /><br />Anyway, I agree with all above. You always assume that Duke and UNC players are cool guys, and this kind of thing shows it. Not afraid to be themselves.<br /><br />Anon - I saw that. And they were immediately awesome at it. Our failures at parties are now even more said. Only conclusion: we need more black friends.<br /><br />-ShaneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974487880746995076.post-71497273064365932292011-04-20T21:59:49.631-04:002011-04-20T21:59:49.631-04:00Sick.

We didn't see nearly as much of the stars as we did of Blue Steel but that makes sense—those guys already have a camera in their face all day and this is the walk ons' chance for some spotlight. Agree that this is like the DBP clips in that everybody on camera seemed fun and personable.<br /><br />To me the most interesting part was that everybody seemed so happy on the bus ride back. I was there when Duke's bus got back to Cameron (a full day later, not the same night like UNC's return from Newark) and none of the guys looked like they had been singing. Quite frankly they just seemed pissed. Not sure that either attitude is BETTER, but it made for an interesting contrast.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974487880746995076.post-80765333814161689762011-04-20T11:39:28.922-04:002011-04-20T11:39:28.922-04:00Nice vid.

The DPB clips helped send a great message about Duke kids this past couple of seasons in the same way.<br /><br />Can't get your Yankee's blog title out of my mind. Why not protect the brand, embrace the irony, and go with:<br />"Seth Curry Saves the Yankees"??<br />(one of your crude photoshops of Seth wearing pinstripes in Yankee Stadium has instant classic potential)sanfransoxfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00058097803996671735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974487880746995076.post-7272948489271888732011-04-20T10:43:00.224-04:002011-04-20T10:43:00.224-04:00Forgot where, but I saw a piece where some ACC (in...Forgot where, but I saw a piece where some ACC (including UNC) and Big East players went on a bowling trip. In general, all the ACC kids were participating, while the Big East kids were a little 2cool4skool to go bowling. I thought that was a nice little metaphor for the conferences.<br /><br />-AndyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974487880746995076.post-48941635691356689512011-04-20T09:09:55.140-04:002011-04-20T09:09:55.140-04:00I am a UNC fan... but bias aside.. this was really...I am a UNC fan... but bias aside.. this was really funny.
