Matt Hurt’s facial hair

[kidA]

I was going to name this thread “shave that thang.” When I was at Duke, I took a semester off and lived in Georgetown with the high school buddy. That semester we formed an intramural football team, and our captain was a friend who had grown a ridiculously cheesy, 70s porn star mustache. Obviously, the name of that team was Shave That Thang. Which brings us to one Matthew Hurt, stellar Duke forward with an icy smooth jumper and a strange furry animal glued to the bottom of his face. During some game, some commentator said he thought Matthew Hurt’s facial hair was awesome. I’m not sure he was looking at the same Matthew Hurt’s face. I don’t mean to be a mean, but Quakers have more stylish facial coifs. Matthew, I love you, I grow some ugly facial hair myself, but I got a tell ya: shave that thang.
What say you?

Kid A! Do you have a close relative that is an Amnesiac?

Butterfly effect? He is shooting better with the bad beard. Keep it.

He recently auditioned to be App State's mascot, Yosef the Mountain Man, during the Spring Sports season.

I'm more bummed that DJ did away with his Sideshow Bob hairdo. I'm jealous of anyone with a full head of hair, but really liked that look.

Agreed, he can grow it down to his toes of keeps shooting like this !

[rsvman]

Generally speaking, I'm in favor of everybody being clean-shaved at all times, but that's apparently anachronistic.
However, if the facial hair has anything to do with his recent shooting, in some kind of modern-day Samson redux fashion, I will hunt down anybody who talks him into shaving.

It is not the facial hair per se, but the man or woman who wears it and owns it and becomes it and transcends it, into infinity.

I only know this because I went to college with a man by the name of Throatybeard. I see that same potential in Mr. Hurt.

I just got you your third Zpork!

I agree that most of the player beards look terrible, but it’s their right of passage into adulthood. This from a man who grew his mustache in December 1981 and still has it!

Ha! My mustache is 7 years older than yours. Please tell your mustache to show proper respect by calling my mustache “Sir”.

[budwom]

Seems pretty clear that Matt is trying out for the Geico Caveman role...

[HaveFunExpectToWin]

I quite literally fear the beard.

[flyingdutchdevil]

I say, "Do whatever you want! If you want to look Amish or look like a distant relative to Abraham Lincoln, go for it!"

I get criticizing a player's shot selection. But criticizing their looks? That's a little mean. They can't all be as beautiful as Justise Winslow.

If you saw me without my beard, you'd demand I grow it back. As for Hurt's facial hair, well, let him keep it. I don't want to throw off his balance.

My dad was 40 when I was born and I never saw him without it. He had his mustache in pictures I have seen of him from the late 1940's, and when he died in 2012 at 98 he still had it. I think we both should call that mustache "Sir"!

And the NBA draft is all about potential!

[kako]

Keep it. Never mess with a winning streak.

I Might Be Wrong, but I am Optimistic that in 15 Steps Everything [will be] in its Right Place, if we’re Lucky!

And let me also say Matt, I and we love you and mean no disrespect.

If y'all don't stop busting on Hurt I'm gonna take away your Scooby Snacks.

Deep cut here: in 2001, a movie titled The Luck of the Irish aired on the Disney Channel. In it, a young high school basketball player learns that his Irish ancestry is actually inherited from a clan of leprechauns. In his adolescent struggle to identify with his leprechaun side, he must defend his family’s gold from an evil leprechaun named Seamus... something.

Anyway, in the final act of the film, the two compete in a high school basketball game. Matthew Hurt is 100% the evil leprechaun from the movie. Behold.
