In fact, it was a "case in point". The idiom "case in point" means a relative illustrative example. I was making a point. I was using your post as the example. Here, I was making the point that people are oversensitive about Duke hate. You say that some Duke hate is "loud and clear, while some is subtle." I think your oversensitivity makes you think that Duke hate is out there when its not. The author off the original piece said nothing negative. You put your own connotation on the small piece and claimed that the author thought that a lack of Duke hate was "just weird". In reality the author thought that the game being billed as JJ v. Landlord was "just weird". And, frankly, it was. You put the spin on it. Just, as I feel, many Duke fans do with the national and local media.
Consequently, it was the perfect "case in point".
