Wonderful timing being in Philly after the Eagles, Flyers, and Phillies all lost on the same night. WIP callers are 🔥🔥🔥

UNC vs. Duke doesn't need an explainer. UNC vs. NC State? That one requires experience to understand. So how does Seth Trimble explain those dynamics to the new Heels? linktr.ee/ogtriangleme...

Jon Scheyer gets it — even stacked Duke teams don’t always get the storybook ending. Sometimes, it really is a make-or-miss game. linktr.ee/ogtriangleme...

Right like if you don't fit in any of these tiers that's OK!

This specific one slogan about culture? Dundon Haters.

Actually, take that back. The FINAL BOSS of Extremely Online Canes is @adamgold.bsky.social

Joe Ovies @joeovies.bsky.social · 1d

Subcategory to "Oops, All Canes". Having a dedicated Sebastian Aho account that follows outlets from Finland is the FINAL BOSS of extremely online Canes fan.

Bennett @bennjeff.bsky.social · 1d

Where was the “parasocial twitter freak” tier?

Other than the fact you're on bluesky, you're a normie. Again...THIS IS ABOUT EXTREMELY ONLINE CANES FANS.

Joe - I'm a SPORTS FAN watch NFL,MLB & NHL (news is too scary). Not a TD hater, have recovered from the Karmanos years but can get a shiver when I think about the coaches during that time. Just want another Stanley Cup while i can still afford my FST package. FYI STM since 2003-04 season. What Tier

I explained rather clearly this was creating tiers of “extremely online fans”.

Marcus @bambam350.bsky.social · 1d

So, no tier for us regular fans? The people who don’t flip the fuck out about every little thing they don’t like or agree with that the team does. We just support the team and players and keep supporting win or lose. Got it. I knew us regular folks were a dying breed in the sports fandom universe.

If you enjoyed these tiers, go to BreakingT and pick the "Keep Carolina Hockey Boring" shirt. breakingt.com/products/kee...

Tier 7: "Rantanen/Haula Schadenfreude Enjoyer". Pretty self explanatory, this group will never ever let certain players go.

Joe Ovies @joeovies.bsky.social · 1d

Tier 6: "Bought TDA Jersey To Make A Statement". This group probably had a McLeod jersey in the shopping cart last week.

Tier 5: "Prospect Knower". Sure, the Canes won. But why isn't Brind'Amour sliding [insert prospect or AHL player] into the 4th line, hmmmm? AKA @mrworkrate.com.

Joe Ovies @joeovies.bsky.social · 1d

Tier 4: "National Media Ombudsman". Watches and listens like a hawk looking for slights, real or perceived. Did someone on the NHL Network say something slightly critical? Did ESPN not include the Canes in a promo? Was Wyshynski's bold take TOO BOLD!? DID SOMEBODY SAY BORING!?

Joe Ovies @joeovies.bsky.social · 1d

Tier 3: "Dundon Haters". Highly unique group that has proclaimed, multiple times, they're done with the team because of something Dundon did or didn't do. And yet when the Canes lose, they certainly know about it and take great delight in sharing.

Tier 2: "Oops, All Canes" group. This is the fan who only cares about the Canes. Not sports in general. Oh there's a football stadium next door? Basketball played in that building? Never noticed. The Canes, and Canes only. Best encapsulated by this meme.

Joe Ovies @joeovies.bsky.social · 1d

Tier 1: @lukedecock.bsky.social dubbed "Late Stage Karmanos Semin-Darling Stockholm Syndrome" group. Fans oddly wistful about the purgatory years because it weeded out bandwagoners. 2019 was the magical payoff for these "real fans", and they been chasing that high since.

As we enter another season of Carolina Hurricanes hockey, been workshopping the various extremely online "fan tiers" that have developed in the last 5 years. To be clear, I'm presenting these tiers without commentary. These tiers are just things I've observed and believe to be a thing.

Here’s @samwalkerobxnews.com and me answering every possible question you may have about the collapsing Outer Banks houses www.ncrabbithole.com/p/why-are-so...

Why Are SO MANY Outer Banks houses collapsing into the ocean?

Nine homes have been taken out by the Atlantic Ocean in just the last few weeks? Why so many? Why now? We asked a longtime Outer Banks journalist for some answers.

Well nothing to see here, y'all. Very normal, context free statements released on Wednesday night in October.
