Seriously though, ACC officials deserve to be suspended. They deserve to be fucking terminated for their years of incompetence, but it's nice to finally see some sort of accountability.
 
It's just shitty that it took Miami being on the plus side for it to finally come to a head. (even if it was a game in which they were out-penalzed 23:5... but whatever)

In all seriousness though, this sucks. Severely damaged Duke's chances of winning the coastal.

This game meant nothing to Miami and the 12 fans that program has. Their season is already lost and Golden is gone no matter what.

Duke still controls their own destiny. 
 
If they lost to UNC, they'd be pretty much fucked whether they won this game or not.

I realize this is a pissing match, but I lel'd at the "12 fans" comment.
 
I doubt any Duke fan could name one fucking player that played for Duke's football team prior to the Cutcliffe era.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Hell, IDK if I could name one player now.

Man I was around during the Ted "Raise the" Roof era haha

 

[Hurricane Season]

I'm glad to hear that.
 
Now tell me that this return was one of the greatest ever, even if it was against a team that had one of the worst stretches an FBS team has ever seen:

Won't load on my phone but if that's the Hester return, yes

I went to a Duke at Navy game back in like 07 that Duke choked in the final seconds and all these navy fans talked shit to me haha. Haven't respected the naval academy even since. That might have been Cut's first year though can't remember

 

[Hurricane Season]

Cutcliffe is the man.  I can't blame him for being such a whiny bitch.  I would be too if I were a Duke fan.
 
Duke football winning 3 games was unheard of 10 years ago... them being ranked would have just been absurd.   He's a hell of a coach.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

We're pretty blessed he hasn't left yet

 

[elcheato]

Braxton is the back up QB against Minnesota. Gonna be great when he steps in and leads the team a championship

People are overreacting and throwing out too much outrage, but I'm not sure why that article and you have to keep downplaying the fact that it was an egregiously missed call, and then somehow got missed again on the replay. It's magnified because it happened on the last play, but that's how it always is in sports. The same way players are under the microscope in the final moments in games. 
 
The guy who wrote that comes off as immature to me. 

 

[Hurricane Season]

It's magnified because it happened to Miami.
 
A few players did some blow out of a hookers asshole in the 80s, they wore army fatigues once, and they've been the bane of the college football world ever since.
 
Walton's knee may have been down on the play.  I won't sit here and say that it was the right call, but you can't look at a still image and say that he's clearly and irrefutably down.  There's a chance that the ball was moving in his hand just prior to his knee being down, and if you treat that like a fumble, there wouldn't have been enough evidence to overturn the call regardless of the ruling on the field.
 
There was one clear, egregious block in the back that was missed, but the other four or five that these dumbasses were pointing out were not illegal blocks.

 

[elcheato]

It has nothing to do with the fact that it's Miami. No offense, but they're largely irrelevant at the moment. This would be so much worse and talked about at nausea if it was a team that has actually been good this decade, or in playoff contention. 
 
The guy seemed pretty clearly down to me, but I guess I could see the debate on that. 
 
The block stuff is a non-issue to me. 

 

[Hurricane Season]

I strongly disagree.  Miami has been irrelevant for the better part of a decade, yet any time anything Miami comes up in national news, the media trips over themselves trying to tear them back down.
 
Remember the outrage over the Shapiro thing?  You couldn't read one article, or watch any news piece on that shit-show where someone wasn't beating DEATH PENALTY over your head.  Charles Robinson pretty much tried to convince everyone that Miami football was dead in the water.
 
They lost nine scholarships over a three year period, and are under probation for three years.   DEATH PENALTY

 

[Hurricane Season]

Maybe I just listen to too much of Mark May's fat ass, though.  That's where most of the venom seems to come from.
