Holy crap!! Duke barely survives BELMONT!! 71-70!!

[Bake]

What a game!! Gawd, I love this time of year. Better than Christmas!

Personally, I think Belmont played a helluva game, and even though all REASON told me to pick Duke, I was rooting for Belmont.

And Vince Gill in the crowd!!

1. Wow. I was following that game, and it would have killed me.

I have Duke in the finals.

:scared:

[Bake]

2. I see disappointment in your future!

I think Duke lasts another game, maybe two. Then they go home.

But what the hell, I LOATHE Duke. With every fiber of my being. I hate Duke. I hate Coach K.

:rofl:

Bake

[Lex]

3. The whole crowd in that arena hated Duke!

Belmont should've won it. They outplayed them. But the final basket makes all the difference in the score.

[madinmaryland]

4. Now my headache is even worse Bake.

I came out of the religion thread in teh loungue and now we are talking about Duke.

Lock "K" and "Dean" in a room already!

:hi:

[Bake]

5. Did I mention that I hate Duke?

Just for the record, I hate, despise, loathe (damn, I'm running out of synonyms!) the men's basketball team of Duke University. I despise their coach. I despise their team, and their team members' families.

I HATE DUKE. I hate even typing the name "Duke." I even hate the Stevie Wonder song, "Sir Duke." OK, not really, but it sounded apropos.

Bake

Oh, and go take an Excedrin!

:rofl:

[madinmaryland]

6. I'll take an excedrin in a minute...

Uhhm...








:hi:

[Bake]

7. I cannot believe you even posted a pic of somebody in a Duke uniform!

A pox upon your house!! Or your horse, which is what I tried to type first ...

:rofl:

Bake

[madinmaryland]

8. Are you SEC?

I'm Big 10

[Bake]

9. I'm a Louisville grad, but my blood is actually ORANGE!

So I'm really confused (I grew up in Tennessee), as you may have already guessed. I have an altar to Denny Crum, but I'm not sure I trust Rick Pitino just yet (although I WANT TO!!).

You're just trying to confuse me, dammit. Big 10! HA! You mean the Tiny Ten? Ever since Bob Knight left Indiana ... oh well, don't get me started ...

I like basketball. :-)

Bake

[madinmaryland]

10. Bob Knight!

Ahh. Sorry for the confusion. I'm really from the OAC (Ohio Athletic Conference) or whatever it is today (Div. III:P) Our coach in the 70's through 90's was an assistant for bob knight at Army in the 60's. He had the same mentality as BK did. I remember some chair damage, but they did not get thrown across the court. My folks still have contact with him (not knight)!

16. Why does it not surprise me that you picked Duke?

Sigh. Really. You live in Maryland and you like both the Cowboys AND Duke. Man..all I got to say is, I wouldn't step foot in College Park anytime soon....:rofl:

[taterguy]

11. For the last god damn time

I WANT SOMEONE TO USE HIS FUCKING BRAIN
AND NOT START A GODDAMN THREAD
WITH A FUCKING SPOILER
IN THE FUCKING HEADER

This is ponderous man, fucking ponderous

[Bake]

13. I could tell you who wins the whole thing, but THAT would be a spoiler.

Since, you know, I went to the future and all ...

How's that a spoiler anyway? The game was over several hours earlier.

Bake

[taterguy]

14. A spoiler is announcing the fucking end of a fucking entertainment show

Before everyone's had a chance to fucking watch it

[DS1]

20. YES!

[elleng]

12. WVU beat Arizona!

Duke next!!!!

[MountainLaurel]

15. Who do you pick for this one?

I'm hoping with every fiber of my being that my Mounties will upset Duke.

[elleng]

17. OH MLaurel,

my daughter's a sophomore at WVU, loves it, and so do I! So excited to have a team in the running!

Will be interesting to see what happens after Duke's last 'event!' Dunno what to think of our ccoach; he said something like he never knows, doesn't know what to think of this (his) team. I need more time 'with' him. Have no tv now, so watch on-line; don't know how much of the story I'm getting.

[elleng]

22. wwwwwwvvvvuuuuu

did it!!!!

[Bake]

18. Personally, my prognostication is that Duke loses in the third round.

YMMV.

:hi:

Bake

[Bake]

19. Did I mention that I hate Duke?

With every fiber of my being? Just wanted to clear that up ...

Bake

[KamaAina]

21. Alas, it doesn't matter whether the slime win by 1 or 41

they still move on, and I don't get to enjoy the rest of the tournament until somebody actually beats Coach (R) and his middling 67% grad rate (archrival Carolina's is 86%), instead of choking to them with three nanoseconds left. :grr:

edit: this is as good a place as any to point out that Dookie Tommy Amaker has done the seemingly impossible: he's somehow managed to bring a recruiting scandal to Harvard!! On behalf of Yale '85: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Bake]

24. Ah, I sense that we are kindred spirits!

:hi:

The hatred of Duke unites us.

Bake

[elleng]

23. Duke lost

in the 2d round!

[Bake]

25. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Bake

[TZ]

26. Guess what...

I picked Duke to lose to WVU in my DU bracket. Double Plus!!!!!:woohoo:

[Bake]

27. Good for you!

I had them winning this one, but it's worth it to see K!@#$#@!!ski whining on the teevee!!

Bake

[elleng]

29. Didn't wait to see interviews,

but he's been sick, flu or something.

What about WVU coach? Say anything? Say anything good?

[elleng]

28. Imagine that!

WVU plays whom, when?
