 @FoghornStill, Baylor Basketball is like a perfectly cooked Thanksgiving Turkey, just pulled out of the oven; they both look awesome, until they hit the floor. Baylor basketball is hardly legendary.

Oh yeah, real classy move by Coach K, scolding that kid from Oregon after the game on how to act, (while he continually he has dirty players, this year with one who has been caught tripping players from other teams).

Boys & Girls… this is what happens when you get caught up in a lie:
*the additional spin off tornados (and their damage) from being dishonest.

1. Public Deception – Lying to the media to protect himself
2. Character Assassination – By saying Brooks was the liar
3. False Accusation – This then leaves Brooks responsible for explaining why he’d make it up.
4. Using Your Authority Status To Crush Lesser Known People – Abuse of power.
5. Hypocracy – Grayson Allen is a dirty player who has been caught over 5 times just this season tripping other players on the court. If there is anyone who needs to be educated it’s K’s own players.

So is his apology enough? No… because he shifted his action and what people are specifically disturbed about (the lying that caused the 5 additional sub effects above) into reacted incorrectly.

Why is this a big deal? Because lying is deliberate and methodical. While reacting incorrectly is simply a human response that can happen to anyone.

Just Having fun with the Dookies.  I catch heck for UK.

I'm not going to try to defend Coach K on this one.  He screwed up.  He's definitely proven to be human over the years.  I - and about 95% of Duke alumni - would prefer to lose basketball games than to win them with "one and dones".  And I wish he developed his bench better each year so they are not so shorthanded every March. 

But, overall I'd take the last 36 years over what any other program has had during that time.  We've graduated a lot of good kids and have won a lot of games in a way that helped bring the students and university community together.  Coach K has done a lot of good things. 

One of my former roommates is the father of Grayson's best friend from high school.  He swears that Grayson is a great kid.  And while I love his competitive spirit, I don't care for when he takes it over the limit.

Surprised K did that really, but it happens in the heat of battle where emotions get involved.  

K is a hell of a ball coach.  I love Roy and his style, but K's ability to squeeze every ounce of talent from his tube is amazing . I respect him but want to thump him on the nose too.

Any Bob Probert fans?  Arguably the best fighter in NHL history.  RIP Probie.

I'm just waiting for Mattingly to show up tomorrow for #23!

@YEMTrey - I would not hold my breath.  Donnie Baseball (aka a Yankee) quite likely won't make the cut for a hard core Red Sox fan.  However, who knows these days...

I know.  That's why I had to give him an early shoutout now.

We've been doing this countdown for a couple months now, and you guys are just starting to get strategic?

There is only one #23 that should be used, even a Duke fan knows this.

@JohnInCarolina - I resemble that remark.  Sunday night- baseball again.

This far out weather predictions are pretty useless.  We did have amazing weather in NC this past week.  Sunny, mid to high seventies.  It's supposed to cool off quite a bit next week, but beyond that it's hard to say.

No one like him. 

2 greats right there for sure

How many incredible players do the Lions have to suck the soul out of before they turn it around?  Sad.
