It's always you taking shots, and then trying to make yourself out as some sort of victim. I don't feel sorry for you.
Thank you! Carolina doesn't suck this year; they're a mediocre team with no NBA talent on their roster. With Carolina's current record and team, being mediocre isn't a story for me. They're not underachieving; this was totally predictable once Tony Bradley declared. In a down year, they're still in the RPI top 10 against a top 10 schedule (I haven't checked RPI in two weeks, so it may have changed slightly). Duke has four lottery picks and a senior that has started for three years, and they've lost four games and just lost to the worst team in the BE, but sure Carolina is the story.
They've lost to State four times in 13 years, and Clemson beat them for the second time in 22 tries. If Carolina being down is the story people want to run with, it's fine with me. Carolina has sustained excellence better than anyone other than UK, and the last 13 years have been the golden years (three championships in 12 years).
I have no interest in talking about Carolina on this board...NONE. Just as I have no interest in the irrelevance of Syracuse. Not everyone likes Carolina. Carolina has a lot (A LOT) of arrogant and entitled fans, I get it. Why it's newsworthy every time they lose is a mystery, but sure, CG is the one poking the bear.
Don't worry. I laughed at that one too.
If you could have played this conversation out in real life it would have looked like this:
CG: *sitting in a room minding his own business, likely drinking a scotch and holding a cigar... enter SeahawkHoops from stage left*
Hoops: Sup, that other team you like from the state you grew up in. Hahahahaha. They lost again. They suuuuuuuuuck.
CG: *sips scotch and rolls eyes* Yeah, we've talked about this before. It's a down year, they're gonna win some, lose some, and likely be a Sweet 16 team, but I don't put any stock in them getting any further than the Elite 8 if I was a betting man.
Hoops: Yeaaaaah, but they SUUUUUUUUUUCK. Big time suckage. Suck alllllllll the time. It's so fun when they lose to tell you they suuuuuuuuck.
CG: *Another sip of scotch* How's Syracuse doing?
Hoops: Maaaaaaan. They're not very good. And that's totally not cool for you to remind me of. It's actually really hard being me. My football team that has won 5 championships in the last 17 years and been to 8 championship games just lost. Aaaaaaand, I am FORCED to live in this area in NC where the championship team is just like a 45 min drive away. Their fans. Oh myyyyyy gaaaaawwwwd. Let meeee tell you how much grief they give me. It's UNBEEEAAARABLE!!!!! It's really the entire reason I like to remind you every time that team loses. You should suffer because there's other fans out there that are door knobs.
CG: *Sip... raises left eye brow* Wow man, that must be tough. Thanks for keeping me straight.
