I know it's pretty late but I finally cooled off enough to actually write something on here without anything being offensive. I'll start off by saying that, of all of UNC's losses this season, this one hurts. I mean, at least with the UNLV and FSU games, it was a forgone conclusion that UNC was going to lose. This one just hurt, period.
First, let me talk about Austin Rivers. I'll give it to him, he had a great game. However, I do not like him at all, and it's not totally because he's at Duke. The first reason is back before he came to Duke, he said in a video that the UNC/Duke rivalry was not a rivalry.
That's where I draw the line. These kind of pictures are not funny. In fact, this makes me sick to my stomach! I would say that even if another team was in the picture. It's never a laughing matter when you joke about death and, whoever created this picture, should be ashamed. Not to mention, that this is a direct insult on UNC and the memory of Jason Ray, who was the Ramses mascot who lost his life a few years ago!
Finally, even though I'm a State student, I have a message for all of you Wolfpack fans: until you guys have won as many games, NCAA Titles, ACC Championships, and have gone to as many Final Fours as UNC and Duke, stay out of the rivalry. There's no room for trash talking about the UNC/Duke rivalry from NC State fans, period!
Revenge is coming March 3!
The second reason I don't like him is he's a ball hog. All through the game the other night, he would basically take it upon himself to carry his team back. It may have worked for that game but one person cannot carry a team. It takes a team effort and, if he doesn't learn that, he'll have a long road ahead of him. Finally, I don't like his attitude. He's the cockiest player I've ever seen at Duke. Plus, have you ever seen him when a call doesn't go his way? He gets this creepy frown-like expression on his face like nothing is his fault. Well, I've got some news for you Austin: you're human. You will make mistakes. Live with them!
Third, the trash talking. I don't mind it, especially in a rivalry. However, when I see pictures like this...
