Bolden knee vigil

[wavedukefan70s]

Do you think the players never read this board? Or the people in the players' inner circle that might have a player's ear? If they don't, then there is no impact.

To reiterate my main point - overconfidence is this team's biggest enemy. And my belief is that anything that potentially feeds that overconfidence can harm the team, whether it's sportsyak, sychophantic tweets, Zionmania, etc., and it needs to be ignored.

I use to think that.until I learned the local highschool players and some assistant coaches were reading our football boards.you never know who's reading this.
We just want them to win it all.im just as proud of this team if they didnt.
If they focus and try to destroy every opponent.its very doable.

You would certainly be surprised at who reads this board. Didn't Jay Bilas' used to swing by on occasion?

I can easily believe that some of the players read this and other boards. I can also easily believe that they get a laugh at the self importance sometimes assumed here.

Don't forget K has one of his secret accounts here...

I’d love to hear about Marques’s knee.

Yeah I can’t imagine any players taking anything on these boards seriously. I would even be surprised if they spent anything more than a passing glance at the boards at all.

He's one of the ones with flames.

[MChambers]

He's one of the ones with flames.

And he always wins the minutes contest.

And he always wins the minutes contest.

So he’s the one with Joey Baker at 0.25 minutes per game!

Me too! Any updates? Guess we won't hear anything until Thursday or Friday. Would love to see him play at least a little bit. GoDuke!

K's posting habits are day-to-day.

But on the Bolden note, we haven't gotten the kind of pre-emtpive announcements that we got with Zion when we were playing Tues-Sat games. With it being Thurs.-Sat., the silence is going to be longer.

We have the Friday/Sunday draw.

"Jay Bilas has not made any friends yet."

EDIT: I see Rich beat me to it by several minutes but my post still stands (I hope.)

That line was by far my favorite part.


It appears he's still hard at work at not making any friends. lol.

[WVDUKEFAN]

Are there any press conferences or interviews scheduled with the coaches prior to Friday?

[tbyers11]

Steve Wiseman reporting that Marques practiced on Tuesday

Staff won't commit to him definitively playing on Friday at this point but this a big step forward.
