Twas funny.

But... People spend that much time putting a video together expressing their juvenile hatred of a team and they dont know why...

It was very well done though. I will show my daughter as she hates Duke and does not know why. This will give her comfort knowing no one knows.
She is not alone.

I hate them because they didn't even belong in this Tournament and they got in, they get way more calls than they are due, they rarely travel for non-conference, and everyone has this false image of how all of the players are smart and good people. Ever wonder why so many Duke players major in Sociology? Because it's a Degree designed to get them through school, they get credit for classes even while playing overseas. I know this stuff goes on at all schools, but there's this perception that it doesn't happen at Duke, which is total bull.

Well done Pillow, that was hilarious.

At every Cincinnati home game they show highlights of past teams, they always finish with UC beating Duke on a last second shot, it's kind of lame, but I get a kick out of it every time. Huggins is a terrible in game coach, but for that one time, he outcoached that little weasel.

Less at Duke than at other schools, no doubt in my mind. Look at what many ex-Duke kids do. Look at what ex-Cinn. and now ex-Kansas State kids do... jail time. Duke is clearly not the U (Miami) of basketball.

I think its the spoiled rich kid thing. I watch Christian Laettner on the sideline and I see a spoiled rich kid for some reason. Besides, Duke's student fan base invented that pogo hop that now has become the new wave that really gets old.

Duke will be right back next year. A good incoming class.

Why don't you tell me how many ex-Cinn player are in jail?

Hell, Xavier has more than UC does, one of their guys just got put in jail for murder.

I know one thing, they sure make better NBA Players at UC than Duke does.

Well heck then lets call it even. UC makes better pros, thats an arguement on which side of thuggery? K-Mart is just a dandy, and he is actually one of their model players. Huggins... why did he leave? His graduation rate was too high?

Bottom line and in general: Duke gets better kids than a whole lot of these other schools. Are they perfect citizens... No. But they dont pick them off the streets and then dump them back. Duke has fielded the best B-ball teams in the past 15-20 years. It may be too much for some to stomach. I dont even particularly like it. But it is what it is.

Why don't you tell me how they calculate the graduation rate?

Going by the way it's calculated, I didn't graduate, even though I have a diploma to prove it.

Dedrick Finn was arrested for shoving his gf and stealing her pug. Now that's gangster.
