On one hand you can pull for Dook and hand GT a coastal loss and serve them another next week. On the other hand who wants to pull for Dook under any circumstances. Leaning toward a Dook win. I'm torn.....
Duke vs. GT.... who should we pull for?
- Thread starter ACokeForRoy
- Start date
i want the easiest path to the 2015 "coastal division winner" tee shirt...gatech losing two weeks in a row helps my psyche out the best.
plus, i'll take a page out of the colts playbook and support a banner in the stadium that reads "acc finalist".

Tarheel11 suggested I change my username to Grape Kool Aid for Larry in the "Remaining Schedule..." thread... so I did the next best thing...
I did no such thing! Pretty sure @UNC71-00 made the Kool-Aid comment lol
As for this thread........I'm okay pulling for Duke actually. GT needs to rack up as many losses as possible (because let's face it, they WILL beat us. It's a formality, just like the SCar game), so they need one to go with their probable FSU and Clemson losses.
Duke looks so-so and will certainly drop 2-3 games from their Coastal slate.
ETA: Yep, I was right, it was 71-00 who did it. See link.
I'm just gonna leave this here:

My account was obviously hacked. Everyone knows I'm a lover, not a fighter.
Ding, ding....we have a winner! On every count. Besides, Dook has to lose too....might as well knock them out now. Really, this is a win/win for UNC. One of these two gets down behind the eight-ball via this game, which helps UNC.
Honestly, w/ the schedule oddities, we NEED GT to win this game. They're going to lose 2-3 for sure in the league. Honestly, Dook has a MUCH easier league schedule, given that Wake is a designated rival in the cross division schedule.
I'll say it once and only once and I think the quote is attributed to Billy C. (correct me if I'm wrong.) A "true" Carolina fan never , ever pulls for dook" and those are words I live by.
I ALWAYS pull for dook to lose. But in this case I will pull for dook to lose and the entire GT team to catch whatever venereal disease the dook players can give them!
Our stiffest comp for the division is GT so I'll be pullin' for the Devils. I don't have a real hard time pulling for the Devils as long as Knight Lite isn't involved.
And it's a good one.
Go Jackets! Whup Dook, and get your heads fat and sassy and over confident.
Where ya been, man? I've missed the snark.I ALWAYS pull for dook to lose. But in this case I will pull for dook to lose and the entire GT team to catch whatever venereal disease the dook players can give them!

TRUTH!
Cut is almost as loathsome as Vlad the Undead. That old snarky, self-righteous, self-absorbed a-hole is disgustingly repulsive. And I'm talking about Cut.
Go Jackets!
Agreed. But I think GT is the better team and their scheme is harder to defend. I'm looking at it from a what's best for UNC perspective.
Gotta go with Archer on this one. GT losing is better for Carolina, IMO.
Regardless, I think Tech wins

Yep. This is one of those games where you can find a brightsode with any outcome. But I think GT wins running away, pun intended.
I don't think GT losing IS actually better for UNC. All league games count the the same, and Dook gets a full 2 game advantage over GT, most likely, by having Weak and BC cross divisionally vs GT's duo of FSU and Clemson. At some point, we need Dook to lose conf. games, too....GT certainly is going to lose a few (FSU, Clemson, and hopefully UNC). Therefore long-term, I think UNC benefits more from a Dook loss, at this point.
I hate to say it but I will be pulling for Duke. GT always tend to have early ACC losses and comes back at the end so need them go get as many Ls as possible. Duke is not that good, Cutcliffe can't keep up that success at Duke, not happening. They have no QB and their offense is bland. I am not concerned about Duke being in the race at the end.
This blog post has ruined puns for me, probably forever:

I agree. d00k obviously has the easier schedule, but I don't think they're nearly as strong as last year.
Be careful what you wish for; sometimes you get it. Dook has an easy road and no losses; GT will know they HAVE to beat us next week. IF we beat them, they'll lose 4-5 ACC games. It will be pretty much up to us and VaTech to stop Dook.
I watched a lot of the Duke game (I have two TV's), and dude you are giving the Devils way too much credit. Their offense looked like pure, pure garbage. Tech just played even worse.
