I’ll Give You Something to Cry About!

Alright, I’ve held my tongue long enough and now I’m letting it all out.
 

Was Josh McRoberts really crying in that Duke-UNC game? Really?  I could understand if you’re an old man accepting an award at half time, a figure skater getting knee-clubbed, or a t-baller whose father just got ejected (I was six, by the way), but other than that, come on.
 

And this was during the game.  It isn’t over; it’s not the end of the season, or his career.  Hell, even emotional stalwart Roy Williams is keeping it together.
 

Sports Guy Bill Simmons got it right when he blamed something’s-just-not-right-about-that-boy Adam Morrison for allowing college hoops starts to feel like it’s okay to blubber and tantrum throw every time life hands them some hardship. 
 

Imagine the momentum it gives the opposing team when they look over at the bench and see that you just brought Duke’s players to tears in front a stadium full of the girls their going to have to sit next to in class tomorrow.   
 

If there’s going to be Duke tickets in the NCAA Tournament tickets section at StubHub.com, then Duke and its players are going to have to swallow hard, keep their chin up, and finish their games like a man.  Otherwise, they’re really going to have something to cry about.
