Back in the early 90s when Christian Laettner played for Duke there were tons of rumors floating around that he was gay.

Around about that time, I heard that some rival fans (UK maybe?) made up some T-shirts that said, "Duke sucks, but Laettner Swallows."

BTW, it is really hard for me to believe that Duke is the most "gay-unfriendly" campus in the USofA. Everyone I know who went there is a hidebound liberal ideologue.

And don't forget that Danny Ferry played for Duke around this time, too. We Kentucky fans have long memories ...

Laettner's wife and child would probably disagree with the substance of that rumor.

This is one alum who survived with his ideology intact.

I don't know -- I wouldn't be surprised to see such shirts come from Carolina Fever, at least back before they kicked out all the people who actually had Carolina Fever.

Of course, I remember the running joke for a while had something to do with Christian Laettner and a lot of bump-n-grind in the low post...
