“... every Duke joke I heard ended with Christian Laettner involved in a homosexual experience.”

I don’t know how that rumor started; he’s married with two daughters. I am a UNC grad (graduate school, not undergrad) and it pains me to say this but Laettner was one of the best college players of the 90’s and maybe of all time. He had a very mediocre pro career, however.

Yeah, Pretty Boy Laettner hit the game winner that we see during the tourney about a million times. However, if the refs had had any gonads Pretty Boy would have been out of the game after quite deliberately stomping on a UK b’ball players chest (Aminu Timberlake)which Coach K claimed was “not intentional”......snort.

What a whiny little wussy. ESPN and Dickie V have become the Duke Admiration Society, look at all the former Dukies on there: Bilas, Seth Davis et al. Don’t forget Billy pACCker on CBS. If anything Duuuukkkkeeee gets the MOST positive pub of ANY school.

As for “clean program”.......the name Corey Maggette ring any bells?

“I believe every Duke joke I heard somehow ended with Christian Laettner involved in a homosexual experience.”

What’s your point?

As I posted on the NC board but worth repeating:

What in the world? Yo, coach K! People have been saying they hate Duke for years. Ditto Carolina, State, Wake Forest, Notre Dame, on and on.

News flash: It’s “hate” like when you get a paper cut. “I hate it when that happens.” Not “hate” like Muslims “We hate infidels and they must have their heads cut off!”

There’s a difference, dumb@ss. Get over yourself.

Somebody’s GOT to get this to Ann Coulter. She’ll have a field day.

I'm surprised she didn't reference the more applicable hate speech, from when Elisabeth Edwards said of her next-door neighbor:
"I wouldn't be nice to him anyway," Edwards said in an interview. "I don't want my kids anywhere near some guy who when he doesn't like somebody, the first thing he does is pull a gun out. It scares the business out of me."
Edwards views Johnson as a "rabid, rabid Republican" who refuses to clean up his "slummy" property just to spite her family, whose lavish 28,000-square-foot estate is nearby on 102 wooded acres.

Is Duke being arrogant, as Coach K posits? You bet your bippy. Arrogance, thy name is Duke. To help put the wood to Duke, click below, and respond as you see fit, asap.

I like Duke and I have a lot of respect for them. As for Carolina - all I can say is “Go to H*** Carolina!” LOL

You’re right, but I can’t blame her for not thinking of it at the time. Prissy really set her up. And though she handled it very well, I only hope Ann can pay him back some day.

I second that!

Hey, maybe Coach K. was talking about this book:

I’m ambivalent on Duke. It’s Carolina I despise.

My hatred of Duke is an on/off thing. It's off when they play Carolina, it's on the rest of the time. Like many college basketball fans around the country, I'm sick and tired of hearing about Duke and Carolina.

LOL! Yeah, not being a Carolina fan, I’m not “in on” the Duke/Carolina rivalry. It still feels good when State beats Duke in basketball though (from a purely - “wow, we’re actually decent” perspective)!!! ;)

If Coach K had spoken up in April of 2006, he might have ended the hoax all by himself. Would the Duke Administration sat by if he harranged them to get on the side of the Lax 3?

No one cares about cancelling lacrosse, but basketball is tops at Duke and he is the King. This railroading would never have happened to a Duke basketball player.. IMO, he was a coward and now he's whining like a baby. Yuck.
