you are graduating already? i thought you were only 19? are you a genius or something?
anyway congratulations....that is pretty cool, especially considering what a great school duke is. i did my undergraduate work at Purdue, but went to grad school at............UNC. i guess that means we must hate each other.
go tar heels!!!
good luck on finals.

Finals are over for me... and yeah, im 19. I took some placement tests my freshman year in high school and started at 16. Not a genius, and probably wouldnt have done it if it was my own choice, but the Rents had other ideas.

Tarheels... what a waste of a horse fan.

lol! yeah....but if it helps i am mainly a purdue fan (loyalty as an undergraduate trumps grad school loyalty). i sort of follow the heels, but i never really hated the dukies the way the rest of the people at that school did. now the indiana hoosiers are a different story. they just suck. i root against them even more than i rooted against bernardini.....which is saying a lot!!

How can someone root against a horse? I don't even root against the horses that I show against, even when championships are at stake! Now I do root against riders...lol.

i don't want to turn this into another thread about bernardini or my dislike for him (we have had more than enough of those) but i can honestly say that in my entire life i have only rooted against 2 horses:
- empire maker
- bernardini
why did i root against them? because they deserved it.

I root against any horse that I dont have money on.

and there are some that I root against even when I dont play the race.
like that damn swap fliparoo.
she ruined a pick 4 for me earlier this year at Aqueduct I think it was.
really p*ssed me off when she won at Saratoga even though I did not play the race.
I just hate her and always will.

I'm confused as to how the horses deserved it, but to each their own.
