The House of Blue

Wow! I am actually very surprised and in disbelief. That is just wrong

Just like we dont want certain fans to represent BBN because they ruin it for others, this looks like the same case...just sad that they would be that low.

I agree the University and Coach K need to personally and publicly apologize to the kid, NC State, and the school's alumni.

If I was the University President I would shut down the student center, or something, for a week.

Your right it is surprising that those students could be so cruel. Some try to pass it off as them just being dumb college students but even at 18-22 year olds know better than to do something this inappropriate. I like the suggestion that another poster suggested to close down the student center or some other non-educational facility for a time. The whole Duke fanbase needs to apologize to the young man and his family.

Duke's student body actually researches things like this and then hands them out to the student section. Wouldn't be surprised if that was the case here.

Really bad but nothing will ever top Az State and the taunting of Steve Kerr

Kerrs dad was the President of the American University in Beirut and was murdered by PLO terrorists. ASU students used to chant PLO at him all the time

If the student body of those schools stoop so low as to do what they did on those 2 occasions then they are haters not fans of the university. I cant ever imagine the UK student body doing something so insensitive as they did. I at one time had a lot of respect for Duke and their athletic programs but that has changed even though the players and coaches had nothing to do with what went on, or at least I hope they didnt.

There have been reports from people at the game that they knew the chant was because of his recently deceased grandmother and that it was widely known in the crowd.

It wasn't an accident...they knew exactly what they were doing.

So they are either saying "how's your grandma" or "past your bedtime". I can't imagine any fan base chanting about a dead person, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt until someone proves that they chanted that. The kid looks young and you can hear either one if that is what you are listening for.

If they did chant about is grandma then they should apologize. All fan bases have those types of idiots. I remember when our student section would cant "Walsh is gay" when we played Florida. Sometimes the small group of idiots out there make us all look bad.

The fans at the game are on local media in NC admitting they were chanting it and why. They were chanting "how's your grandma?", and they were chanting it because they know she died recently.

No need to give them the benefit of the doubt because they have admitted it.

Not excusing t at all, but that was in response to the same type of taunts that Keith Bogans had received from the UF students previously in Gainesville.
