Rightfulcoffee.com right now, use code Take and get yourself some coffee. Today is Friday, March 12. PFT, I want to do two intros just in case the first one is today is Friday, March 12th, Russell Wilson is officially a Chicago bear and then in my non-dream scenario, today is Friday, March 12th and Duke Blue Devils have been eliminated. Either way, it works that well for you. Well, no, the Duke Blue Devils have not been eliminated. They did the right thing. They're looking out for the health of everybody else. I kind of had to pull 180 on Coach K today. I think I love him now. I think you at least have to respect Coach K for being one step ahead of our brains that try to simulate what coach

K will do.

I think the last that we got inside his own head, we're like, he's just going to write a book about how well he managed this COVID year. And then that's going to be his like anointing himself is like, this was actually a successful year because we got through it. And the health was the first thing that we had to look after like, like Andrew Cuomo, writing a book in the middle of it congratulating yourself. I thought that's what Coach

K would do, but he's one step ahead. They have bowed out gracefully after winning their opening round game, the ACC tournament. And I guess this doesn't, this means that the streak is still intact, right? Because who knows? Maybe Duke would have gone on to win the ACC tournament. It's actually a brilliant move on Coach K's part. Well, here's what Coach K gets to do in a year that was not great for Duke to put it

mildly.'t Duke's year. They get to finish winning their last game of the season. They actually won two games in the ACC tournament. They want only one team usually gets to finish the season winning their last game of the year. Duke gets to claim that this year that they won their last game their season. They were hot. They were just getting hot. They were just finding their groove. And then COVID, who maybe it was his grandson who got it, which that's convenient. But guess what? I'm a COVID survivor. So I'm not going to make light of COVID. I can say that as a COVID survivor. I can say maybe it was his grandson. And maybe this was a long con by Coach Kay to basically bow out of the season before the selection committee could not select Duke next Sunday or this Sunday. I'm a COVID survivor. So I can say that, but that might have happened. But I'm also not going to say it because I respect COVID too much. Yeah, and also Hippelaw. As you want pulling out of my chapter.

But if that were the case, you would have to acknowledge the fact that Coach K is a

mastermind for inserting that into the storyline. Who knows if the person who actually tested positive for COVID actually has COVID. I wouldn't put it past Coach K to just be like, we need one of you walk-ons out there. any one of you guys to take one for the team and just tell me that you have it.

Just somebody please tell me that you have it, that you were a close contact with somebody

that has it.

Or just make sure it's them to go party. any one of you guys to take one for the team and just tell me that you have it. Just somebody please tell me that you have it or that you were a close contact with

somebody that has it.

Or just a choice.

That way, that way.

Yeah.

Maybe he sent somebody on the team like to go infiltrate a frat party. Who knows? Who knows? But at any rate, it's hats off to Coach Kay. You did it. outfox the foxes and i have no choice but to respect you on this one do you

think that if we could get coach k's cell phone right now or maybe one of his

assistance maybe John Shires or his computer, the first Google result would be how to get a positive COVID test in Greensboro, North Carolina? Yeah, probably. Or yeah, are you just bought like a series of sharpies and just went mark like writing out results for fake tests? Like he just bought a bunch of pregnancy tests and then wrote COVID positive on one of them and then showed it to the ACC officials. They're like, sorry, sorry guys, we got a balance. We got a balance. We got one. I wouldn't put it past Coach K for him to go to the hospital himself for the next like four weeks just to stave off these jokes. Like coach K is he'll do anything. He's frank underwood of the college basketball. He will do anything to make sure that the the the message is not Hey, Duke wasn't going to make the tournament. Let's all not forget that they weren't going to make the tournament.

Hey, let's talk a little bit more about the fact they weren't going to make the tournament. Nope. We have to respect COVID, which I do as a COVID survivor and say I hope that Duke is healthy and its students first. We don't know that they weren't made the tournament, but, yeah, that's what makes this so magical. It's like, Duke could have gone on this run. could have won the entire ACC tournament, they could have cut down the nets.

And you know what?

I think the last time that Coach Kay played in a full ACC tournament, that was run to its completion through no fault of his own. They did cut down the nets, right? 2019. Did they win it? Jake? Jake? Virginia won it in 2019. Virginia won it. Okay. But that's okay. Also four teams cut down the net. So you have the NIT the CBI and the that's okay. That's okay. We can just pretend. Also four teams
