If you told us 11 years ago that Sampson would have us playing in the national championship, who would have believed it?

Probably only Sampson, then again who knows if he would have believed it.

How amazing is it that Sampsonā€™s 800th win could be the National Championship game?

With the state of the program back then? Yeesh.

Georgetown didnā€™t bother me. They whipped our butts. North Carolina beat us with Rob Williams hung over and puking in a trash can. I didnā€™t mind that one too much. The one game of all in our history that was excruciating was N.C. State. That one still hurts a little.

Got 2 tickets! Going to surprise my daughter by picking her up from school at lunch and driving to San Antonio.
She said it was only her and two other people in her middle school class that thought Houston would beat Duke! Sheā€™s ready to ladle out bowls of crow soup tomorrow. But Iā€™ll tell her she has to do it before lunch :joy:

:arrow_up: Love thisā€¦ reminded me of my daughter when she was in elementary. She said last night this is for all the ā€œaggie or longhorn?ā€ asking kids who would look at her funny when she said neither and pointed to her Coogs shirt.

I mean, I could have believed we had a linsanity run that somehow made it to the national championship, like SDSU in '23. But thatā€™s not what happened. Weā€™ve got the best defense in the country, and we deserve to be here. Iā€™m not sure weā€™ve even really had to win a major upset in the Sampson era, though that largely owes to the fact that we havenā€™t really had that many opportunities to.

Sampsonā€™s comments about JoJo and next year - sounds good. :grinning:

This is tempting.

$300 for 100 level seating.

I already spent $150 on section 344. I doubt I can sell that ticket.

Hmmmmm what do I do?!

I wonder if weā€™ll hear anything about the Title IX investigation into Golden for stalking and sexual harassment, and the sexual assault charge against assistant coach Taurean Green.

Florida cleared Golden in January, but apparently multiple women complained and lewd pictures were alledgedly involved.

No money for FF game or the championship

What section? Still trying to get a ticket with Coog fans (while on an airplane).

From everything I read it definitely sounds like this was swept under the rug. I donā€™t know what evidence they have though so it might just be accusations. But damn, thatā€™s a lot of stories of really suspect behavior to ignore

Not a word about Florida in that presser, well nothing about attacking their schemes.

Gives Miami vibes. We are celebrating Dukes win as if weā€™ve won the national championship.

Iā€™ll still take it.
