Thread: April Fools!

    April Fools!

    Oh how I wish I had it in my power to convince media outlets in NC to "leak" that NONE of the Duke players are leaving as one and dones and that all have committed to returning for a second season. I am fairly certain the folks over on IC would just explode the internet.

    Was last year the "conference realignment" joke? That one got me for about ten minutes. I was trying to reconcile Duke to the SEC until saw nothing on ESPN and saw nothing.



    Back to OP, yes, that would hilarious. Except if...

    Unfortunately, I think it would give a lot of us heart attacks, too, to find out it was a joke!

    Yea if were going to do an April fools joke, lets not make it all one that we would all love. Prefer it be something awful that we would hate, then when we find out its an April fools joke we can all laugh at our foolishness.

    That remains one of the stupidest kerfuffles this board has ever gotten into, and that's saying something. If I remember correctly, we may have lost a regular poster or two in the aftermath (which boggles the mind).
    Just be you. You is enough. - K, 4/5/10, 0:13.8 to play, 60-59 Duke.

    You're all jealous hypocrites. - Titus on Laettner

    You see those guys? Animals. They're animals. - SIU Coach Chris Lowery, on Duke

    I remember it fairly well and would be happy to share a few PM messages (brief, I promise) if you have a bit of time and interest.

    Hit me. It must have been before my time.

    Always love it when local or even National Media fall for Julian's antics.

    Check your PM.

    Hope I don't lose any sleep tonight over worrying about tomorrow's shenanigans .

    Tyus is leaving, so Coach K goes to Coach Danowski and asks to borrow Myles Jones to be next year's point guard (not completely implausible, as Myles had some D1 basketball scholarship offers). As quid pro quo, Justise agrees to pick up a pole and learn to play LSM and take faceoffs.

    I'll take those, too, DD. New mods should be given some kind of DBR history book.

    That was before my time too. If someone wants to hit me with it, that would be marvy.

    You have such a great sense of humor Duvall. That's why I like you so much.

    There are things here that predate me? Thought I migrated over from the nnewsliston the Mayflower, at least as a lurker.

    The real question is what time will the April 1 issue go live? Will it be while I'm still at work in the Central time zone - so I fall for it briefly as it is still 3/31? Who will get hit with the lasers this year?

    Duvall slices his arm with a Swiss Army Knife whenever he gets the impulse to smile. It's only his complete dedication that enables him to maintain his curmudgeonly demeanor when the little bottle opener tool comes up in the rotation.
