Then it took on a life of its own & she didn’t have the courage to back down.
That’s the most generous explanation to her but not so much for those who had her hyped for no reason.

Their athletic department is a cowardly mess. No thank you.

How soon BYU fans forget about that nonsense.

VACOUGFAN

That's petty.

Genghis Spreads

12/11/24 1:08pm

I don't care. They are cowardly and not worthy of being on the same field as BYU

Good thing basketball isn't played on fields, then.

What's petty is damaging fake racism claims. They can rot in hades.

Petty? You read the official release of that chick when she got back to the safe confines of Duke.

We need to work on our reputation if someone can just do that to us.

I think landing the Top bball prospect is step in the right direction, don't you?

SinkingQuffa

12/11/24 1:19pm

Yes I do. By playing them, it also says we're big enough that you can't cancel

Christ says welcome another slap in the face from your enemy, NOT another brutal beat-down.

SinkingQuffa

12/11/24 1:24pm

What would be another brutal beatdown?

Genghis Spreads

12/11/24 1:26pm

For starters: making a mock of us to the media - that we would dare think they'd at all be interested in playin us again

SinkingQuffa

12/11/24 1:31pm

So you're saying if we reached out to them and they rejected us publicly? TBH

Genghis Spreads

12/11/24 1:37pm

No one else has forgotten about it. Why would they?

SinkingQuffa

12/11/24 1:39pm

Who is "no one else"?

Genghis Spreads

12/11/24 2:11pm

It wasn't just a big & controversial story to us BYU fans.

SinkingQuffa

12/11/24 2:17pm

It was in the national media and became a cultural wars issue. Are people still

Genghis Spreads

12/11/24 2:21pm

No. And neither did Duke ever make right on it. They last refused to play another game on our campus

SinkingQuffa

12/11/24 2:25pm

So if they agreed to it, you’d be OK?

Genghis Spreads

12/11/24 6:58pm

If they make it happen, yes. I don't even need a public apology. So long as our AD receives it.

SinkingQuffa

12/11/24 7:29pm

Ok then I don’t disagree with you that much. The others here just want to stick

Genghis Spreads

They did give Y fans a reason to be very upset with them.

SinkingQuffa

12/11/24 8:34pm

Who doesn’t?

Soupie

Apparently, some people forgot about it already.

"Turning the other cheek" is a act of defiance.

ParentingNotForSissy

12/11/24 5:46pm

We can and do play lots of teams that prove that. No need to play Duke.

You are blaming the recipient of the offense rather than the offender? What the

Soupie

12/11/24 1:25pm

Maybe her intent was good, maybe it wasn't. After all the details came out,

UNLVcougar

12/11/24 1:30pm

"Good" in the sense that she probably thinks she's got a "good" godmother.

SinkingQuffa

12/11/24 1:41pm

I don't think she had any "intent" at all. She simply had a family who believed the scary stuff about

As right-wing commentator Jason Whitlock reported, the Duke VB team had a "speak out" against racism seminar

Are you eight years old? It didn't happen 10 years ago, bro.

SinkingQuffa

12/11/24 4:08pm

How is that relevant, bro?

MaximusMeridius

12/11/24 4:10pm

Yeah, but it's fresh enough to not think we're back on good terms w Duke. Not unless

SinkingQuffa

12/11/24 4:13pm

I suppose if you don't use any logic whatsoever this makes sense

MaximusMeridius

12/11/24 4:58pm

Yes, I'm into the logic that tells me the stove that burned my hand 2 minutes ago will probably still burn me.

SinkingQuffa

I would put money we will play Duke. AJ vs Boozer

Could any Duke athletic team ever come to Provo after the racist claims?

Honestly the way AJ said that, almost smirking at Stephen A., makes me think
