I was wondering how our boys 8 miles down the road did? Curious on some of the stats of players. Anyone have a link, thanks.

Worn:

One banana costume
One penguin costume
One glittery top hat and cane
Twelve light blue tuxedo T-shirts

...oh, you mean stats from the scrimmage? No official stats were kept, though some made their way into the news reports (http://blogs.newsobserver.com/accnow/unc-newcomers-make-late-night-debut). Strickland had 16, Barnes 13.

So it looks like UNC has taken note of what worked for Nolan last year.....Miley Cirus Party in the USA.

I've read that they made big splash in the Muhammed recruitment.

Muhammad -- "Carolina definitely had a surge. It left a big impression on me. They definitely helped themselves a good deal. "

Probably proved to him that he could play right away, and could play 40 min per.

I do not have a link but pieced together most of the scoring from various articles

Here's my best guess

16 - Strickland
6 - Knox
5 - Bullock
4 - Henson
0 - Marshall
---
31 total

13 - Barnes
8 - Zeller
10 - the rest [Watts, NcDonald, Drew]
---
31 -total

I think Watts had a dunk and a 3 for 5; McDonald 2 and Drew 3 but not as certain on how those last 10 points break out, unless one of the walk ons or JVs scored.

Speaking of other ACC venues, for comparison, here's some FSU Midnight madness footage, Jam with coach Ham (corny, not my words. their's).

Since they ae not on TV much, hard to recognize the players other than Chris Singleton I know is #31 on yellow; Kitchen 22 on Maroon and Snaer 21 on Maroon. 50 has to be the 7 footer Kreft.

Typical FSU athletic but not a lot of cohesion.

To be fair, Nolan played Kate Winslet in her Titanic nude scene last year, so it's fair to say he's game for anything funny. But this does seem more sad than funny.

From a Reggie Rankin tweet yesterday "Just spoke with S60 wing Shabazz Muhammad. Really enjoyed the North Carolina Midnight Madness experience. Loved the great fan base and watching Coach Roy Williams dance."

Was also reported in the 2012 thread yesterday.

But I think we can all have a good laugh at the expense of HB right now. Harrison if you're reading this I hope you enjoyed wearing a pumpkin suit rather than raising a national championship banner. Joke is on you.

Glad that unc has really taken to heart the whippings they received last year and have come back relentlessly focused on improving their on-court product this year.

It's probably a hedge by Roy -- last year the team was hilarious because of how awful they were, this year they will be hilarious by choice daggumit. When they are terrible, he can say they did it on purpose.

It looks pretty stupid.

It's also subjective, because I remember the mainstream reaction to the Titanic skit last year, all the DUI videos, etc. I think most schools end up doing dumb stuff like this for Midnight Madness, it's just you're more likely to love it unconditionally if it's your own school -- not to mention, like someone says, it goes down a lot smoother when you're raising a National Championship banner at the same time.

That said... it looks pretty stupid.

And I agree that Barnes made a horrible decision.

Ole Roy and the UNC BB team have certainly made it easy for the Cameron Crazies this coming February. One Banana, Two Banana, Three Banana, Four... through in a few Little Mermaids, and a Penguin or 2, and a Great Pumpkin, with a Magician. And everyone having Signs or hand out sheets with one of the UNC midnight madness Characters on it!!! I am sure there will much more when February rolls around.

I saw the pictures on the UNC website, over the weekend. And I actually thought the costumes where worn by Students....... I am roflmao......... knowing its Players.

Harrison Barnes......... like Julia Roberts said in Pretty Woman to the sales clerk, that wouldnt sell her a dress, and she went back to the store, with all her packages, knowing the sales lady was on commission: "Big Mistake, Big Mistake........HUGE!!"

Barnes is the Great Pumpkin, and our new Recruits get to see the 2010 Banner raised!!!! NO Comparison. Along with having the USA/Olympic Gold medal coach!!!!

The kids are having fun. Shabazz had fun. It may not be your cup of tea- but then again you hate UNC with everything that you are. You guys will never see it any other way and what does that say about your fan base? The same thing it says about the members of our fan base that cannot realize the hypocrisy. Loosen up and smile a bit more. The people over in Chapel Hill may not of had a good season last year, but they are able to have fun and laugh at one another while pushing the reset button. Another thing to remember, the kid being recruited is a 16 or 17 year old. This kid likes to laugh and be entertained. These kids met a Reggie Bullock or a Harrison Barnes, get to know the guys, and then watch them perform in front of a lot of excited fans. For someone who has a good sense of humor and enjoys laughing and having fun, this creates a great atmosphere. I know you guys have a good sense of humor, but you are not showing it. I laughed this summer when Nolan had that horrible singing video on youtube. I didn't assume anything other than he was being funny. If the shoe was on the other foot, would you have just laughed and moved along? These are kids guys! These are kids relating to other kids and it works. Sure, you had great success last year and we didn't. Is that because our kids laugh and have fun at a Midnight Madness? Sure, we had discipline issues last year on the court, but does that mean that the UNC basketball program is ruined? Come on- guys get a grip. Go look at your kids tonight and watch them play. They do stupid things that make you laugh and smile. They do stupid things to make their friends laugh and smile. Does that mean that they are stupid? Its all in the name of fun and entertainment. Come on guys! Smile, it will make you feel better.

When my kids act goofy, I still love them with all my heart. But I also tell them that they can't act like fools in public.

I hear what you're saying (and appreciate views from the south side of 15-501 because a one-sided conversation isn't much fun). But you've gotta admit that you wouldn't want pictures of your son in a mermaid costume posted on the net.

I honeslty did laugh at the Titanic Skit because of the look on Nolan's face when he asked if he would draw him and I do find the images of the UNC players funny. C'mon there are these giant players in $10 wal-mart costumes designed for little kids...that is funny. There are many different ways of being funny satire is a much more sophisticated form of humor than what the UNC players were doing.

That being said if UNC players decide to dress up and make people laugh by making fools of themselves then don't expect Duke fans to let it slide and not redicule them for it.

The thing to me was that the occasion was different and we held it with a movie type series of skits... UNC chose to do this live during their first time to try to play together officially. This is a bad move on that night IMO. If they had taped it before or even done it in anything other than amateur elementary school quality, it would have been cooler.

As for Nolan's singing and stuff, the man has talent! Seriously though, he did that in his own free time, and K wouldn't let him practice singing rather than playing.

I just think that you guys are just bashing UNC just to do it. That's fine. I get it. In a few years, we will have just as much fun at your expense. But from a completely different perspective, Shabazz seemed to have a lot of fun the other night! He is a big Vince Carter fan and I believe he will be wearing the lighter shade of blue in a couple of seasons.

He is a big Vince Carter fan and I believe he will be wearing the lighter shade of blue in a couple of seasons.

I have no problem with the UNC players doing what they did at midnight madness. I agree that the Duke fans are being extremely hypocritical due in large part to Nolan's antics. He has been an entertaining personality and a big reason why the Duke team is such a close family in recent years. The fundamental difference between how well teams have played together in recent years is about the players' personalities, and not just how coach K and Co. run things. Remember how awful 04-05 was? Duke fans hated that year not just because of our record, but because of how the Duke players seemed to hate each other when they played.

I will say that I think Roy's antics should be criticized. He isn't a 20 year old kid, and I don't give him the same amount of freedom to be silly. Now, my primary issue with him being silly is that I believe it is fake. I don't think he ever acts like that behind closed doors (regardless of whether it's a serious practice or a team dinner). This opinion is fairly unbased, but I doubt too many Tar Heel fans would disagree with it. Roy isn't Bruce Perl (school spirit wise), and never will be. He continues to put himself first and his players second.

It will be interesting to see the season develop. UNC has the potential to be a good team, but they are completely unproven and I can't wait to see how they react to a few obstacles (especially whom Roy finds to blame).

Well, of course! Personally, I laughed at the pictures because I think they're goofy. I'm sure you laughed at Nolan's Titanic skit because it was goofy. I agree that it's all in fun on both sides. To be honest, as a Duke fan, I don't like to see UNC players having fun and goofing off together -- I'd prefer consistent and extreme chemistry problems. :)

The Heels goofed off at Midnight Madness with the freshmen getting the most ridiculous costumes...

Bench players caught on camera laughing during the Maryland loss in '08...

Danny Green dancing during intros...

Will Graves high fiving cheerleaders (and then smoking up with them ;))...


I love that the negative against Carolina (prior to last season's performance, chemistry, attitude and coaching job) is that the team has too much fun. How could any recruit choose that?!

Not sure if last year can be broken out like that. The looseness and lack of seriousness that can be dismissed as harmless goofing off when you have the most talented team in the country can quickly turn into chemistry and attitudes problems when you don't.

Did you mean 06-07 perhaps? The 04-05 team went 27-6, won the ACC, and went to the Sweet Sixteen. Regardless, I don't remember thinking that any Duke players hated each other when they were playing, whether it was 04-05 or 06-07.

Did you mean 06-07 perhaps? The 04-05 team went 27-6, won the ACC, and went to the Sweet Sixteen. Regardless, I don't remember thinking that any Duke players hated each other when they were playing, whether it was 04-05 or 06-07.

I remember a game during the 09 season where Duke was playing at Florida State(?). In a timeout during the middle of the second half, as Florida St. was running away with the game, I remember seeing clips of the entire team screaming at a player, I think it was Singler, after he evidently made a mistake. I will never forget this. Even the old sideline reporter was looking at the kid as if he was about to slip off the headphones and kick his tail. When things are not going well, there seems to be a lot of hate going on. From the fans, right down to the team. While I can appreciate the intensity that the Duke players play with, its when that intensity is channeled in a negative direction such as the instance I mentioned above. While I do not approve of the way many of the UNC players played last year, I am glad they didn't all turn on each other in the way I mentioned above. Too much stress and too much intensity can create insurmountable obstacles for inexperienced players. Last years UNC team is a prime example of that.

Yes correction, I meant 06-07. I didn't say hated each other as human beings, I said hated playing with each other. If you disagree with that, perhaps you should watch some replays and notice McRoberts' demeanor and how the players interacted during games. They yelled at each other in an nonconstructive manner, and looked "pissy" whenever the team was losing. It stuck out quite a bit, and made me question the future potential of the program. It was not a good year to be a blue devil fan.

I think criticizing your own program is a healthy thing (something Thomas Jefferson would call "vital," albeit about more important things than basketball), and the ability to call someone out on bad attitude is very important. It's how we avoid issues other schools are having where players get kicked off the team for the generic "Violation of Team Rules."

Edit, I read what I originally wrote. "hated each other when they played" was my way of saying "hated playing with each other" just like when a person says, "I hate you when you do that" does not mean he/she universally hates you.

What would make you think that there was any "hate" going on? Surely you can agree that you can yell at your teammate during the heat of the moment and not hate them. I used to have to yell at my kids when they were younger and misbehaved. I wonder if you saw me doing that if you would infer that I hated them? You are making quite an assumption don't you think?

No, the use of hate wasn't meant as actual hate. they were "hating" on each other. they were allowing the stress to get to them and they all turned on one guy.

The kids are having fun. Shabazz had fun. It may not be your cup of tea- but then again you hate UNC with everything that you are. You guys will never see it any other way and what does that say about your fan base? The same thing it says about the members of our fan base that cannot realize the hypocrisy. Loosen up and smile a bit more. The people over in Chapel Hill may not of had a good season last year, but they are able to have fun and laugh at one another while pushing the reset button.

Personally, I think Kong has it right here. It seems to me that the whole point of their event (in the absence of any banner-raising) was to show their fans a good time.These are just kids being kids, and the fact that they were willing to do that stuff shows that they don't take themselves too seriously and are able to lighten up. At the same time, however, if some of our fans used that material as taunting ammunition in february, I certainly wouldn't object.

Honestly... well, I won't say it. Yes, they're kids having fun. And we're a Duke board, so we're laughing at them and making fun of them. Spare me the pseudo-moral crusade.

And I love how you have to throw in low blows at Duke and our fan base in all of your holier-than-thou posts. I suppose it's okay with the mods (and a surprising amount of posters here), but it's not an endearing habit.

If you want to pat yourself on the back for having a team that apparently doesn't have the heart to get after one another every once in a while, then good for you. I'm actually pretty happy that your players came to accept failure last year.

Although maybe they just left all the "hating" to their coach. Because if you want to conflate "exhibiting frustration" with "hating on someone," then how many of his own players did publicly Roy hate on last season? I can understand if you decided to stop following UNC last season around January, so you may not have noticed what was going on with your vaunted rec league team. But apparently you missed some embarrassing displays of emotion on the part of your coach towards his players.

No, I didn't stop following UNC last January. In fact, I have been here the entire time. I believe I am the only UNC fan on the board for the last 8 months. So, you can say a lot of things about me, but calling me fair-weather shows me that you do not visit the board very often.

There's nothing wrong with having a UNC slant. That part is appreciated. However, unsubstantative trash talking, unfounded claims about how Duke's players, coaches and fans turn on each other when things go badly, and condescendingly telling us who we are, how we'd react in certain situations, and how we will act in the future - when you don't know any of us and have no idea - does not simply fall under the "UNC slant" blanket.

And most of this "obvious hypocrisy" isn't actually hypocrisy, it's just being a fan. I mean, there's no need to point out that we wouldn't be making fun of Duke players if we dressed up. That's how it works. We're Duke fans, it's a rivalry. There's nothing inherently wrong with that.

Lastly, I apologize if you feel excessively attacked, but I think I pointed out pretty specifically what bothered me in your posts below. Thanks for the negative feedback points though! :rolleyes:

My point a few pages back was that fan bases will look at things through the tints of whatever glasses they happen to wear. If Kyrie came out dressed as a gourd or whatever at CTC -- which I doubt would happen, but humor me -- I guarantee you'd have a pretty decent chunk of people here saying how hilarious it was. I thought the Titanic skit with Nolan was funny myself, but that's because we know and love Nolan. Every other fan base had a field day with it, kind of like we're doing here. Roy Williams looks like a total phony in those pictures -- it's fun, right? Maybe crack a smile? -- but his players at least appear to love it. (Unless they take to Twitter later to express their true opinions -- I kid)

All that said, my favorite thing about the Cameron crowd when I was there was the topical humor. I expect to see banana suits, and that is obviously all in good fun.

In that vein, Kong, you should chill out just a little. Nobody seems to mind you hanging around despite your inauspicious start on this board, but remember that UNC is, you know, Duke's main rival. They show up dressed as fruit after a season when Duke destroyed them and won a National Title, there's going to be a due amount of mirth and frivolity on this board, like it or not, and I think it's tilting at windmills to expect to police it, or to attempt to get people to feel guilty about it. You do that all the time, too. Nobody minds an opposing viewpoint, it can be refreshing, but you really should relax and know your role a bit.

You gave a detailed (and thus far unsubstantiated) example of how Duke's "intensity" causes our players to "all turn on each other" when it is "channeled in a negative direction", "from the fans, right down to the team", then contrasted it with UNC's players, whom you are "glad they didn't all turn on each other in the way I mentioned above". Your words, not mine. If you're going to post stuff like that and ruin a good-humored thread like this, please at least own up to it and be able to back it up.

Sure, we might have a bit of a double standard in analyzing what Duke players do and what unc players do, but I think this latest debacle is clear evidence that the Duke player efforts are generally far more CLEVER than unc efforts. To me, it seems like the kids could NOT think of anything remotely clever and just went with humiliation as a source of humor.

Considering what is going on with the carolina football team, I would think the fans would prefer the basketball team NOT play the fools as well.

On a personal note, I owe HB thanks for proving to me (and Linus) that the Great Pumpkin does indeed exist. And just before Halloween!

Eh, I'll just chalk it up to unsubstantiated rumor-mongering and move on. Because if a vague, three-year-old, possibly fabricated story from a UNC fan about an emotional moment on the court is the best example of Duke having chemistry issues, then I think we're okay.

Kong, I just want you to know that I did laugh at the pictures because they look goofy in the costumes. I think they were going for goofy, so we are supposed to laugh. I would love to know what the skits were about that caused the outfits.

I do think any of the late night events are to be funny and goofy and promote some laughter before any scrimmage. The nature of a rivalry is such that Team A's fans will think that Team B's antics are stupid and humiliating but wouldn't think that if their team did the same antics.

As I said in another thread, Kong is a Carolina fan that I would like to meet - just not to watch a Duke - UNC game together. ;)

What I see as strange is well...Roy. Him coming out all decked out & calling it Late Nite With Roy...since when did this night become all about the coach? I always assumed that Midnite Madness was the only chance the players had to just have some fun before the season started.

Okay, back to homework.

I love the that Poster!!!! And HB as the Great Pumpkin!!! I hope the Crazies hold that Poster up for the Carolina game in February. I will print it out myself!!!. Its the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!!!!

I know it all done in fun, but however, I would not want my son to be remembered for dressing up as the Banana, Great Pumpkin or Little Mermaid on scrimmage night. It was not Halloween!

Glad it was the Tarholes dressing up and clowing around, and not the Dukies. Never live that down!! GTHC GTH

Early 30's. And picture 42 is freaking creepy. It's very much an "I'm going to consume your soul" look that Roy has going. It has shades of some 80's horror flick, but I can't place which one.

Their official video on this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=titUH0cwfnI

Note that they omitted the pumpkin suit, Roy in the top hat, rest of that nonsense.

Yeah, like syphilis is alright...for an STD.

:p

Seriously though, count me down as one who enjoys the perspective that you bring to the board, this is all in good fun!

Okay, I'll admit that the skit last year where Wojo was supposed to be playing the 'Godfather' might have been one of the most embarrsing things I have had to explain (I had no comeback for that one) to my Tarhole pals. The ones with the players were fine, even the 'Ice Drawing' but when the Coach, assistant or head, gets into it I think it's embarrsing for them. Bruce Pearl has lost credibility with me by painting his chest and his similar antics. I could never, ever see K doing something like that, or dressing up like a goon like Roy or even naming the night after himself...K just does not do that stuff and that is what I want in a coach. It's not to say the man has no sense of humor, in fact he is one of the wittiest people in the coaching profession, but there is never a time when you can call K a clown, unlike Roy.

I hate that anyone gets upset, much less banned for taking a thread/topic like this so seriously and responding to baited posts. Seriously, a fan of our rival comes on and claims that our whole team was giving the business to one player, can't remember what game or player but is positive it happened? C'mon, we are the defending champs, pre-season number 1, have great recruits coming in and a coach who is the best in the business...now is not the time to get upset at anyone over some silly practice costumes or skits. The UNC guys looked ridiculous, I love it! Wojo embarrsed me last year, UNC fans loved it! If someone is brave enough to come here and defend their team after the year they had last year then I have to give him credit. Sure, there might be baiting and underhanded complements and criticism but thats why we have these boards.

As long as the UNC players have a sense of humor these type of things only strengthen bonds, wghich were so lacking in their team last year. It's really too bad the Whine and Cheesers left early, but if the players and recruits had fun the night was a success for them. It was a success in my eyes because I chuckle everytime I see the Roy pic and have had fun via email with some UNC friends who have no explanation.

Lastly, does that pic of Roy remind anyone else of Krusty the Clown? The was Krusty would dress up and put on an act of being funny and loveable on stage but as soon as he was off he was, well, Krusty, easy to provoke and not who he tries to portray himself as. Remind you of anyone??

I had forgotten that Roy had starred in the 1971 thriller "A Clockwork Orange".

Really? He was pretty much universally praised for that, I thought it was great. I also thought the Wojo Godfather skit was one of the best - Wojo played it perfect!

IMO, there's nothing wrong with coaches laughing at themselves and taking part in college fun like that once in a while. It's not K's style - he does it in different ways, like speeches at student gatherings - but I have no problem with it.

Although after an NIT season... :rolleyes:
