Apparently I wasn't the only one distracted by Stephan Curry's mouthpiece last night. But does he have what it takes to unset the all-time, uh, champion of annoying mouthpieces?

Good poll, but you spelled Stephen Curry's first name incorrectly.

Ack! And I googled it. Guess I didn't look hard enough. Sorry.

Anyway, the younger folks might not know who Kris Lang was, so maybe someone could post a picture (hint, hint).

This should be the least competitive poll in DBR history.

It is. 19 - 1 as I type. Obviously the evil empire would win this one going away :cool: It's like asking who is the permanent captain of the All Ugly Acne ACC team? Mike O'Koren, for those who are too young to remember him. :D

This poll will not even be close even though most people don't know who Lang is. All you have to do is look at the ugly light blue color of his unc jersey and make your choice. Go Duke!

I will never forget the signs at CIS that said; Mike O'Koren, All ACC.. ugly! Way to go Ozzie. Go Duke!

I couldn't stand Lang and will always vote negatively for/against him.

I've been informed that the images I posted aren't showing up for people (I see them fine in the thread, even after I cleared out my cache).

Here are direct links if you want to see shots of the offending mouthpiece.

I think you have to be logged into the DBR for images to actually show up when you upload them. I noticed that when I posted the pic of my group eating at Harold's Deli and viewed the thread from a public computer.

I love Kris Lang! He and Matty Doh are the embodiment of the single greatest year (from my POV) in the last 50+ years of UNC basketball. I wish UNC had him suited up in uniform every game, every year. I leave it to the UNC fans to hate Kris Lang.

I didn't see them at first (and am always logged in), but once I cut and pasted the URLs they loaded and now I see them in the original post.

Anyway, although they do a fine job of illustrating the travesty that was Kris Lang's mouthpiece, neither are THE Picture, if you know what I mean.

I believe Mike O'Koren was known as the Acne Poster Child. Cruel, but true.

The mouthpiece is not visible, but I think this is the picture that you are referring to

Game, set, match. Something I just noticed about that photo: They went out of their way to set it up at center court! That's the outline of the state of NC underneath.

I think the Curry voter should explain himself.

When I was at Duke, someone brought a poster to a game listing an entire All Ugly team. Four of the spots were taken up by O'Koren and the fifth was inexplicably awarded to Rich Yonakor.

Although, truth be told, Yonakor was a lot uglier.

Maybe but it's pretty close and it made be think of Stackhouse. He makes the top 3. Go Duke!

The real question may come down to Kris Lang's mouthpiece or Tim Tebow's eyeblack. I still think KLang leads, but it's close.

I think the original poster was distracted by the annoyance of Curry's mouthpiece never actually being in his mouth! I have watched several Davidson games this year and have not noticed this behavior in the past. Either the mouthpiece is new or maybe he was really nervous about being in CIS?! I was waiting for it to drop on the floor! Did the crazies come up with any cheers regarding the ridiculous mouthpiece behavior?

YOU CAN'T EAT THAT. He didn't react to that, but he did tuck his shirt in on our advice. As for the people who said he looked cocky - he did, but in a positive way I think. The kind of cockiness that we want out of our players too. He seemed pretty classy to me. Never got in anyone's face or pouted or anything like that. And he reached out to shake Singler's hand as he was dribbling out the time. That always strikes me as classy when players do that even though their team just lost.

Don't forget Lurch. My wife, who's a Hokie, used to call him Frankenstein:

http://www.pathguy.com/Eric_Montross_Bloody.jpg

I couldn't find the money shot of the blood right after the shot he took, but I did find this at the Tarheel blue website, talking about that game:

"But you absolutely, positively remember this: blood streaming down the face of Eric Montross, the Tar Heel warrior wearing jersey-00 standing defiantly and nailing a couple of free throws despite his wound.
"If the Maryland game is the "snow game," this has become, quite simply, the "bloody Montross" game. The former Tar Heel center and current Tar Heel Sports Network analyst has said fans bring this game up to him more often than they do the 1993 national championship--it had that profound an impact on the fan base.
"Today, Duke and Carolina players might hang out together, might know each other from the summer AAU circuit. But the rivalry was much hotter in the late 80s and early 90s, when there was a genuine dislike between the two programs. The squads had staged one of the most intense ACC Tournament finals in history in 1989, and the 1992 Duke team featured a virtual who's who of dislikable Dukies, including Christian Laettner, Bobby Hurley, and Brian Davis."

Wow, hyperbole much? ;)

Were you even allowed on the court to shoot free throws back then if you still had blood "streaming" down your face? Besides, I hardly call that "streaming". Dripping maybe? Leaking? It was hardly the proverbial crimson mask.

This picture confirms every politically incorrect thing that the State fans I know suspect about UNC.

Had I seen the Lang photo first, I would have voted for him rather than Curry.

I believe that was "Oxy-10 Poster Child". Still cruel - but makes me chuckle.

Stephen Curry's mouthpiece is moderately annoying.

Kris Lang's mouth piece is seriously annoying.

But Dean Smith's mouthpiece was the most annoying of all time. You may know him better as Art Chansky.
