- Southerners consider it to be Ivy League
-They lost a title game because Bobby Hurley had diarrhea
- It's just like Yale, except that more people chew tobacco
- Why does the football team suck so bad?
- Rhymes with "puke"
- a "Blue Devil" sounds like a gay bar umbrella drink
- began admitting blacks in 1961....40 years later, they're known for nothing BUT the black guys on the hoop team.
- The most famous graduate of the Law School (Richard Nixon) was disbarred.
- The "Blue Devils" name comes from a French alpine military unit that was pounded into blood sausage by the Germans in WWI. Care to guess which country ended up bailing out Les Diables Bleues?
- Their most famous non-basketball undergrad alumni is either the wife of Bob Dole or the wife of Bill Gates.
- When the coach has to be called "Coach K" because his players can't pronounce his real name, you may as well just join the NBA and forget all that academic stuff.
- If Sheldon Williams drives too far off campus for a burger, he might get lynched.
- Classes are occasionally cancelled to allow students to go home and help with the tobacco harvest
- Would the Confederates have fought so hard if they knew that the state of North Carolina would soon be best known for groups of 12 black guys (unless the son of the coach is playing) chasing a ball around?
- people there are still excited over being one of the better teams in a league that could easily be called "Guys who weren't good enough to go straight to the NBA"

- If Grant Hill played for Duke in the 1950s, he'd have to use a separate drinking fountain than the coach.
- The tobacco farms of school founder Washington Duke have killed millions of Americans.
- Washington Duke also joined the Confederate Navy in an attempt to keep the black man in bondage.
- Duke (then Trinity College) was a Confederate POW camp.

And how does that any of that make Duke suck any more than any other school south of the Mason-Dixon line? And what wild hair did you get up your ass to produce such a diatribe, or is this what you're trying to pass off as humor? A giant raspberry to you, Stacey. Usually your observations and comments are right on the money, but you blew this one big-time. I'm not a big Duke fan, but they get it done every year with different personnel and with a lot of class. What's more, they began admitting blacks long before most major schools in the South and didn't have to have the National Guard on campus to make it happen.
I'm a BC grad....this is the last fun I get for March.
If this is what you call fun, okay. I just have come to expect more from someone of your obvious talent. God, I sound like a parent! But I got used to seeing well
thought out pieces about sports on the American landscape and now you have gotten in the habit of putting out juvenile slams that any idiot could do, generally to no end at all. Sort of like the message boards (which, incidentally, I have almost completely abandoned. It gets real old to look for intelligent discussion among fans and find long distance insults and obscenities).
How can March not be fun? Regardless of who you root for, the NCAA's are the best tournaments going, men's and women's. Even the conference tournaments are fun, and I don't even like the SEC or the ACC (except for Wake), which is all that ESPN seems to want to show. What's more, "we're born again; there's new grass on the field."* Spring training is in full swing and the season starts in less than three weeks!
Please go back to writing and publishing essays instead of long lists of weak one-liners. Okay, they're not all weak; some of them are pretty damn funny. But don't rag on kids and schools, please? The pros provide plenty of fodder for that sort of thing. To wit: Heard in Colo, Iowa "There's no Stanley Cup this year!"
"So what. Stanley guarantees 'em for life!" See? Any fool can do it. Do what you do better than most. Otherwise, I'm going to have to do it for myself, just to have something intelligent to read. lol Thanks for letting me rant.
Forgot to give *John Fogarty his credit. And to show I have a sense of humor, your rip in the Jazz was great! "Frequently and for high dollars." Chortle, chortle, snort, giggle
duke lost yesterday to a unranked team THEY SUCK ASS JJ REDDICK SUCKS HES NOT GOING TO THE NBA .................DUKES NOT GOING TO THE NCAA FINALS THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!
