Blue Steel Crisis

Post by Rolvix » October 25th, 2012, 10:46 pm

Guys: One of my friends who is a student at Chapel Hill just made the varsity basketball team as a walk-on - a member of the famed "Blue Steel" group. His is an incredible guy. My heart is torn.

Advice? How do I respond? What do I do?





This post is for the most part tongue-in-cheek. ;)

Do they play in Tallahassee this year? You might want to buy him a hard hat for when he and his four friends are all alone on the court, and ol Roy has taken the Swahili students, uh, scholarship athletes, to the locker room. :9f:

Cheer for your friend to get in both Duke-unc games this year, score on a tip in for us during the last 60 seconds as we beat them by 30+ points each game :9f: .

Do remember his time on the team is a very short time in your friendship. That little interval will be in the rear view mirror before you know it! ;;)

I was torn between mourning the loss and convincing him to quit the team. Get him to quit and then never speak to him again.

That is the prefect combination of being a good friend and being a Duke fan.

Support your friend, and congratulate him on making the team. Hope he doesnt get left Behind in Tallahassee roaming around, with 4 other walk ons. Hit him up for the Guest/Family tickets, for both games!!!!

Cheer for DUKE, and golf clap (silently), if your Unc friend happens to get in the last 2 minutes of the game, for a final substitution.

Don't Waste or burn a Friendship........... damn, this Unc friend came get you GOOD FREE tickets for 2 Duke/Unc games!!!!

Go Duke!!! GTHC!!!!!

Go buy your Unc walk on friend a couple of Brews!!!! ;)

Don't sit behind behind Kerlina bench at Dean Dome, and cheer for Duke or wear your Duke gear.......... lordy Ole Roy will have you tossed.... Bless his kerlina dumb azz heart! But he can wear a Kansas blue (Duke Blue) shirt with a Kansas jayhawk sticker........ during Final 4s and that is okay.......... Double standard!!!

Lord forbid, getting a Duke fan tossed with minutes left in a game.... like he did with the Presbyterian fan. #-o

http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball ... aab,208335

Trade your Duke Unc ticket at Cheater Hill Dean Dome, with a Kerlina fan, that has a good ticket, behind the Duke bench over yonder.

Then cheer, GTHC! GTH!!!! :9f:
