I was running on the treadmill, and I saw some highlights of the recent Duke vs. Florida State game.\u00a0 Usually, as much as I don\u2019t like to admit it, I just assume Duke has won most games in which there are highlights for, because they are a good team, but I was actually uncertain about this one, because historically FSU seems to often have Duke\u2019s number, especially when playing in Tallahassee.\u00a0 So the highlights embark, and I\u2019m left wondering who actually wins this game.<\/span><\/p>\n And then they show this highlight of an FSU player \u201cdunking on\u201d a Duke player.\u00a0 Now I put that in quotations, because it was hardly\u00a0the kind of facial that I associate with the phrase \u201cdunking on\u201d a player<\/a>, but whatever, some FSU bro gets the ball on the wing, and throws down a dunk, while a Duke player happened to jump in the air to contest him.\u00a0 Sure whatever, he got dunked on.<\/span><\/p>\n The best part however was after the dunk; as is often the case with young whippersnappers of today dunking the ball, it calls for the celebratory tensing of the entire upper body, fists down, while screaming to the heavens in aggressive celebration over converting a field goal.\u00a0 The player who dunked the ball most certainly did that.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n But then one of his teammates, who had nothing to do with the play itself, did it too.\u00a0 Arms down, flexed, head up and scream.\u00a0 I was perplexed by the celebrating of an action that this one guy didn\u2019t do.\u00a0 And then the guy, presumably FSU\u2019s point guard comes up to scream and celebrate too.<\/span><\/p>\n That\u2019s a whole lot of celebrating for just two points in the first half of a 48 minute game.<\/span><\/p>\n And as it turns out, Florida State ended up losing this game.\u00a0 It was close, but Duke managed to get the monkey off their back on this trip to Tallahassee and come away with a W.\u00a0 As far as I\u2019m concerned, that dunk, and all its subsequent celebration, were all for naught.\u00a0 If anything at all, something for Duke players and fans to look back at and laugh about, at all these FSU tryhards going apeshit over a dunk, when they still lost the game.<\/span><\/p>\n Also funny<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 yet another reason why the celebrating should be reserved until the win is actually secured.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I was running on the treadmill, and I saw some highlights of the recent Duke vs. Florida State game.\u00a0 Usually, as much as I don\u2019t like to admit it, I just assume Duke has won most games in which there are highlights for, because they are a good team, but I was actually uncertain about … Continue reading FSU Fail<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[59,45,15],"class_list":["post-40160","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-basketball","tag-fail","tag-og"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40160","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=40160"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40160\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40162,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40160\/revisions\/40162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=40160"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=40160"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=40160"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
