Well deserved!!!!!

RE: Plumlee named ACC Player of the Week

Congrats to the big boy. Looking forward to the Duke/UNC game this week. Can the Heels win? Sure they can! Its a rivalry game. The question that everyone is wanting answered is.... Which Duke player pulls a Busch League stunt this year? Maybe the Player of the Week could get in on this action. A Duke player isn't concreted into Legendom until he provides a cheap shot in a Duke/Carolina game. Ever seen the bumper sticker. "Nice Girls are Never Remembered".

...These type of posts are why no one takes you seriously. Also a tribute to why you should not drink and post at the same time.

If UNC's down 30, do you think Roy will leave his players on the court or have someone tossed out for heckling his players?
