It's been quite awhile since I've posted here but I could not let this auspicious moment -- the upcoming match-up between Duke and the dog gacks -- go by without comment.
First, a big hello to all of my friends here and I've missed you. Second, credit for the term "dog gack orange" to describe the big orange nation goes to my old friend, Buddy Womble.
And finally... those of you are not familiar with the dog gacks may not know the extent of their fans' agregious behavior. I have never taunted them about anything whatsoever during my many years of living here, despite being subjected to their (former) gushing over Bruce Pearl (whatever); their constant "jokes" (so funny) about Duke football, including being taunted at a Duke/dog gack football game (I mean, really?! This is akin to Duke basketball fans taunting unc-g fans); and taunts from them a few years ago simply because UT men's basketball was ranked more highly than Duke for a day or so.
All of you, however, are thoroughly acquainted with our beloved tar heeyuls and the highly-developed sense of nervousness and anxiety which accompanies every Duke/unc game.. that feeling which never seems to wane but grows stronger with each passing year.
So, today, for me, it's akin to Duke v. carolina day. It is only appropriate that I close with 31 years' worth of pent-up
GO TO HELL, UT, GO TO HELL!
GO TO HELL, UT, GO TO HELL!
GO TO HELL, UT, GO TO HELL!
