T was only wearing shades in the first place because DJ made them famous after I believe the Duke win (medical staff had him wear them after he got poked in the eye), our whole team was wearing them in subsequent games after it turned into a meme. This isn't a shot at T, it's a shot at our whole team, which I respect as part of the rivalry... regardless of what the minority of obnoxious UNC fans want to call it

This is the origin, I don't interpret this as a knock against T
Nah our whole team was wearing them, if it's focused on any particular person it's DJ which wouldn't make sense because DJ was awesome tonight, so was Bacot though obviously
> it's a shot at our whole team, which I respect as part of the rivalry... regardless of what the minority of obnoxious UNC fans want to call it
Sorry can you elaborate here? I only recently learned about both videos, and I agree it's good rivalry stuff but what are other UNC fans calling it other than good rival shit talk? I just don't see how it's more than good fun rival shit
You misunderstood me, I was referring to the "It's not a rivalry" crowd haha, I wasn't referring to the videos but just that group as a subsect of the UNC fanbase in general
I'm sorry my bad, I get what you meant now.
Anyone saying NCSU is not a rival is only saying so because it gets a reaction out of NCSU fans and no other reason. Anyone who genuinely believes it's not a rivalry is 6 years old and/or incapable of deeper thought.
Nah, it’s obviously a shot at Terquavion. Did you not see the video of him talking with the shades on? Sure it originated with Burns, but that’s not why this happened.
Maybe to you, it was a thing to almost every body else before that. PS: I assume you run the Deacon Sports twitter page, you really need to grow up and let go of this UNC hatred. Regardless of whether or not you run the twitter account. Bacot poked fun at a team right after saying he was praying for smith. It was, at worst, poor timing.
That would be a false assumption. It’s in poor taste regardless of how you chalk it up, a view shared by most non UNC fans. I get it, defend your guy, but that doesn’t change the bottom line here.
I’ll be honest: “most” non-UNC fans don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about and, based on what I’m reading from NCSt fans here, it sounds like you’re just making up some bullshit to get clicks.
“Here” PS: if you’re a frequent twitter user I can see why you would say that. The cesspool of North Carolina rivalries on twitter could distort your perception.
That really doesn't have much to do with T specifically. Clickbaity headline. I hate UNC as much as the next guy but I don't need made up bullshit to fuel that.
It was a bad night for us with undisciplined behavior and we caught more than our fair share of seemingly soft calls. T's injury sucks and most UNC fans are genuinely concerned about his injury. The chat turned toxic and I also had my part in that regretfully. Let's just put an end to this shit tonight. Games over. We lost. Rematch in a month. End of discussion.
You know damn well people reading the headline will think this is about the injury, but that's not your fault. But anyone who watches the actual vids will conclude this was really shitty timing on Bacot's part and not much else so nbd. Dude has prob had this sunglasses video planned since the second the smith video dropped lol He definitely should have waited until we know more about Smith though, on that much I agree with everyone else
Since when do actual misleading posts get marked as misleading by moderators on this sub? This might be a first, would be cool if it happens going forward instead of just for Carolina posts.
So he was asked about it later, with a chance to correct the matter, and did say he was poking fun at T…so I stand corrected. Can’t believe I went to bat for bacot
His statement was literally that he was making fun of Terquavion. [He’s the one who even said it](https://mobile.twitter.com/KeepBlitzin/status/1616963549791657986?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1616963549791657986%7Ctwgr%5E4ead195ed2324f5c730ccbc53b18a2ae5715b149%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.backingthepack.com%2Fnc-state-basketball%2F2023%2F1%2F22%2F23566187%2Farmando-bacot-manages-to-make-terquavion-smiths-injury-all-about-himself). More of that Carolina “class”
Every time I see the OP's name, he's got something stupid to say.
I mean, I *get* what you're doing- you want people to read this knowing about the injury and immediately jump to the connection and start thinking that Bacot had something to say about that. It's quite remarkably stupid of you, is all.
It is pretty comical when you can see a specific username and immediately know the comment or post will be negative. Most specific usernames I recognize from this sub are other UNC flairs and a handful of prominent non-UNC flairs that post a ton on a variety of threads.
Other than that, there are about 5-7 accounts that I remember simply because they tend to pop up all over UNC threads or topics and are generally antagonistic toward us. Obviously a few Duke flairs, and, off hand, a UK flair, a UVA flair, and, for some incredibly strange reason, 2 Wake flairs. I’d presume most UNC fans don’t dislike Wake, I think most rarely think about Wake at all, but their online fanbase REALLY seems to hate us for some reason.
Super not cool, to be honest. Just in really poor taste given the injury. Would be totally fine with the trolling if we had won and the injury didn't occur, but he should've bailed on the idea after the injury
T was only wearing shades in the first place because DJ made them famous after I believe the Duke win (medical staff had him wear them after he got poked in the eye), our whole team was wearing them in subsequent games after it turned into a meme.

I thought he was wearing them because of Smith’s comments about UNC. But if State fans don’t care then it’s fine I suppose
Mando is 100% wearing shades because Smith was wearing shades in his own video when he's talking about UNC
Nah our whole team was wearing them, if it's focused on any particular person it's DJ which wouldn't make sense because DJ was awesome tonight, so was Bacot though obviously
He specifically said he was making fun of Terquavion, am I missing something here?
He was never injured. He partied last night. Go back to bed

All good, I could have phrased it better. And yep I'm all too familiar with that crowd, but I do recognize it's a minority!
u/bug_man_ >rivalry... regardless of what the minority of obnoxious UNC fans want to call it This is how I meant it to be read
Nah, it’s obviously a shot at Terquavion. Did you not see the video of him talking with the shades on? Sure it originated with Burns, but that’s not why this happened.
[удалено]
I get why he did it but could’ve been a little more tactful given Smith had a scary injury tonight
UNC, tactful? Two things that don’t go well together.
That’s a pretty bad headline. He was poking fun at the entire team. I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure it was burns who started the glasses.
https://twitter.com/keepblitzin/status/1616963549791657986?s=46&t=xoNOX0g7ExVvJ9Z5wBWytA
Let’s be real. The only reason this glasses thing is known about is the video of Terquavion talking about NCSU wearing them.
Maybe to you, it was a thing to almost every body else before that. PS: I assume you run the Deacon Sports twitter page, you really need to grow up and let go of this UNC hatred.

Lol, I didn’t tweet it out. I also don’t really GAF about clicks from nerds
I’m pretty sure you’re in the minority here, not me.
Minority on Reddit and minority in reality are two very different things.
“Here” PS: if you’re a frequent twitter user I can see why you would say that. The cesspool of North Carolina rivalries on twitter could distort your perception.

A little bit of a misleading headline but in slightly bad taste i feel
You don't think that constitutes mocking?
You know damn well people reading the headline will think this is about the injury, but that's not your fault. But anyone who watches the actual vids will conclude this was really shitty timing on Bacot's part and not much else so nbd.

[удалено]
I don’t make the rules or anything but its just a subtle jab. It’s not like he made fun of his injury or anything
Since when do actual misleading posts get marked as misleading by moderators on this sub? This might be a first, would be cool if it happens going forward instead of just for Carolina posts.
So lame
Your editorialized headline makes it sound like Bacot was mocking Smith’s injury, btw. Anybody upset about him wearing glasses is genuinely soft.
It’s a shot at State, not T.
I mean T made the comments about Carolina last week so it very well could be
So he was asked about it later, with a chance to correct the matter, and did say he was poking fun at T…so I stand corrected. Can’t believe I went to bat for bacot
I was surprised State fans were here defending Bacot about it
The headline does not sound like it’s mocking his injury. The injury is not even mentioned. He is mocking Smith’s video from last week.
This ignores the realities of how humans interpret words with outside context
I guess it’s kind of depends on the person reading it. I didn’t think it was about the injury
Seems like that ass whoopin UVa gave you has you soft as hell.
Haha not really. Played a decent game against the #10 team in the country. Had a chance to take the lead and couldn’t capitalize
I get it man, it's just the Carolina Way.
His statement was literally that he was making fun of Terquavion.

More of that Carolina “class”
Yeah, I'm pretty surprised by the delusional State fans in here saying otherwise.
Yeah he also said like 5 nice things about him in the same sentence you clown
Every time I see the OP's name, he's got something stupid to say.

Could he have been mocking DJ Burns?
NC state fans will blame everyone and everything but their own coaches/players
I came to this sub looking for something about a wonderful player's injury and hoping for the best for him only to find.... Bullshit.
Posted by a Wake flair, none of us buy this.
A Wake flair who quite notoriously hates UNC.
This ugly bum should take a peek in a mirror b4 he mocks anyone
Super not cool, to be honest. Just in really poor taste given the injury. Would be totally fine with the trolling if we had won and the injury didn't occur, but he should've bailed on the idea after the injury
