oh just for the record, JJ finishes the night 3-18!!!

those are some POY numbers right there! way to show your best stuff on the big stage! :rolleyes:

i am so glad i will never have to see him in a duke basketball game again...well at least for 2 years until he comes back to be an assistant coach.

Ya know for some reason I had it in my head that Redick and Williams were freshmen on the last Duke team that won the championship. I didn't realize it was in 2001. Sucks for them that they never even got them to a championship game, especially with all the "great 1-2 punch" talk we heard for their whole Duke careers.

you fell for the great white hype! most overrated basketball team in history folks! they did JACK!

god this feels so good....

*coughfab5cough* :p that team had far too much talent to not win anything far more then duke Therefore, more overrated then duke. Kansas was the most overrated team in the tourney this year

Nice to see a guy cry lieka little girl.... speaking of the great white hype...

Yeah I mean what's wrong with someone who put their heart and soul into a season and played their ass off to lose a heartbreaker like that. What a wuss :rolleyes:

As a fellow big man, I feel pretty bad for Sheldon Williams he busted his ass on offense the whole tournament, and played pretty good defense only to lose because the rest of his team could not hit anything?:pinch:h:

aka JJ Redick

Thank you for repeating what I've been saying in all these POTY topics. Everyone can hate Duke all they want and call them overrated all they want, but you don't make the sweet-16 four years in a row based on luck and being overhyped.

Hating college players simply because you don't like powerhouses is silly. They're not being paid money, they're not defecting to other teams for stupid reasons (like in a lot of professional leagues), I just don't get it -- how can you hate someone so much for no reason at all... when they're not even your team's rival, you just hate a school being a contender everytime in recent memory?

oh god, why must you always bring this up? we've argued this ad nauseum. are they a contender? are they really? they haven't made it to the final since 2001. you think a contender would be able to do that...

duke is no better than any other of the "top" teams.

Because they are Duke, silly. :D

Seriously some people just hate media darlings like Duke. Take the NE Patriots for example. Before their current run of Super Bowls, they didn't get that much press outside of Boston. When the run started, all we heard was how great the team was. The over saturation of coverage and some of the fans hyperbole just rubs people the wrong way.

Nothing to get upset over.

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
