Hopefully this will "only" be our biggest regular season game, as I hope we have two other bigger games three and nine games later!

And let me take Ozzie's usual spot here to be the first to say 9F!

It's 40 degrees in NY, but March is here, and there's a sense that spring isn't far away. The forecast calls for warmer temps over the next three days, then a sharp drop come Sunday. Apparently, it has something to do with an odd heat source emerging in the South. Meteorologists are confident that whatever is causing the odd disturbance will be returned to its rightful place -- with the lid shut -- come Saturday night.

GO TO HELL, CAROLINA, GO TO HELL!!!

[DukeDevilDeb]

In my 23 years in Durham, the Blue Devils have always played better and have been more likely to win when the day leading up to the game shows not a hint of light-blue sky.

Imagine my delight when I just looked up the weather forecast for Saturday at Cameron:

Rainy/Windy/High chance of precipitation.... no blue sky showing at all--

until, of course, the sky turns DUKE BLUE after we win.

Go to HELL, Carolina

Out here in the City by the Bay, some will assume that the nascent white blanket is fog, but I strongly suspect that it is the residue of steam emanating from UNC's inevitable, excruciating, scalding decent into Lake Jordan, on its way to Hell!!!!!!!!

Go Duke!!!!!!!!!!! Go Blue Devils!!!!!!!!!!!!! GTHCGTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For reasons I wish I could explain, in Raleigh, it remains warmer outside than in my house where I just froze my a** off watching the Virginia game on tape delay.

Getting my game face on (pictures of Coach Knight's game faces from one of his great press conferences are now running through my head.)

Ha. The post is fine. Glad to see you're slumping instead of Duke.

[dukemomLA]

Heat is good. The stifling swamp of Cameron even better. Our guys can run and gun with anyone. And as the heat rises, even better.

There is not a team in the nation in better condition than our Devils. (...and again, I attribute that to our Coach and Coaching staff --- and to the work by done by all during the off-season, and most especially to DeMarcus).

Break the tarholes down, make them sweat and run, give Ty Lawson's ankle a run for the money. Frustrate SI "Player of the Year" ---- pleeeze. Voila. Duke wins the ACC season championship and a #1 seed at the Big Dance.

[captmojo]

Man! It didn't take long to get this up and rollin'.

There was an Elvis sighting here. Seeing as how I feel pretty certain that he must have gone to hell for playing that devil's music, the gates must be open.



Or........could it really have been Slim Whitman?????????




Anyway, I wish all a very happy 9F

[DevilGrad]

It's 10:15 AM here in Our Nation's Capital, where the rising heat from the Chappaheelya area is warming up the ground enough to get my daffodils poking up out of the ground, and the only thing better than settling in for a month of March basketball is getting it kicked off in grand style by sending Cover Boy Hansborough and his band of merry men straight back to Hell.

LET'S GO DEVILS!

11:00 am in the city named for Nathaniel Greene and the home of the ACC. Come on Duke, whup up on the Travelin' Hansburys!!!

Go Duke!!!!!!!! And, of course, GTHC, GTH x 100 ! And more!

[DukeCO2009]

Inside info tells me no meteorological basic exists for the recent upswing in temperatures in Central North Carolina. Rather, the pleasant spring weather is a result of the opening of the gates of hell in Chapel Hill in preparation for Saturday's game. Upon its arrival back in CH after a crushing defeat, the UNC team bus will bypass the Dean Dome and proceed directly to hell; it will not pass go, and the players will not collect $200. All attending the contest are urged to sprinkle themselves with holy water to guard against the evil emanating from one particular corner of the gym. I've also received word that Tyler Hansbrough is still a whiny I'm a real wanker for saying this.I'm a real wanker for saying this.I'm a real wanker for saying this.I'm a real wanker for saying this.I'm a real wanker for saying this.--that's right, ladies and gentleman...you heard it here first!

[wallyman]

all prepared in westchester county, ny. only issue is whether the dog can take it. he gets upset and barks his head off during every duke game -- too much emotion and anxiety in the room. that said, he'll have to man (or woman) up like the rest of us. will have to get some extra bones and chews ready to get him through it.

gthc.

[killerleft]

Don't tranquilize that dog. The cacophony will help it seem like you're right in the middle of the fight!!!!

[BD80]

I've got an 80 lb Airedale, who is very sensitive to my emotions. When I get agitated he presses up against me so that I will pet him and thus calm down. If I ignore him, he puts his paws in my lap and stares me in the eye until I pet him.

Afternoon games are the best, he can stay outside. Hopefully Saturday night won't be too cold up here in Michigan!

[wallyman]

they are amazingly attuned to what matters. i can jump up and down during any other game and he barely pays attention. but he knows when i'm watching a duke game and doesn't like the level of emotional energy in the room. doesn't even matter if i'm reacting pro or con. he's too small (corgi/something mix) to consider tranquilizing, not that i would anyway. we'll play through it.

this is sooo sweet-to draw UK fans into the fray and have them wish the holes a journey to Hades...

[duketaylor]

After the warmest February I can remember here in Richmond I knew something was amiss. Lo and behold, after the beatdown laid upon the holes Feb 6th, I should've seen the writing on the wall. The Gates-O-Hell opened before that game, but they had yet to sucked into said hole because there was another meltdown waiting to happen 7 miles up the road in early March.
The time is upon us. May well extend itself into next weekend. A third beatdown would lead to GGLC!! I'll settle for Saturday night's Markie game. He's been a special player and I hope he goes out in a classy way.

Here in the western piedmont of NC we've had lots of rain and cool temperatures today. There is a wind advisory posted from Lexington in the west to Clinton in the east for tomorrow. Gusts up to 45 mph with localized damage possible. Everyone knows that a strong wind can make a little fire mighty. During the quiet moments between pelting rains, I think I hear a soft chant growing hour by hour......

Many were alarmed, but Sister Woman recognized the phenomenon immediately and began to chant gthcgth quietly at her desk.

"FORECAST CALLS FOR PAIN"

[Devil in the Blue Dress]

Just had a call from my sister in suburban Chicago. She was driving home on 294 today and came across a sign warning drivers not to smoke for the next several miles. As she continued on her way along with the throngs headed home, the smell of sulfur became more and more pronounced. Sister Woman (Class of '72) then began to tap her steering wheel in that unmistakable rhythm: G T H C G T H....

[ArkieDukie]

It's cold with snow showers in central Arkansas. Of course, it's because all the heat is being pulled to that tacky blue town that's going to a far warmer place.

[devildeac]

the ashes and flames in Raleigh are getting hotter, the earth is scorched and the lakes are dry. Is the drought getting worse by the minute or are the fires from hell engulfing the Triangle area. I sense the latter as the pale blue ones go to hell, never to return.

[devildeac]

Is that why no new disposals will soon be allowed in Wake County?

the n&o said on thursday it was to keep the sewer pipes clean. i think it has to do with reducing water use. i think it may have to do with all that is tarheelia in wake county and to keep them from going to hell in one manner or another

[DukieInKansas]

The high on Friday in OP registered in the morning and the day kept getting colder. The heat is leaving our town and heading east as the Tar He*ls open the gates to prepare for their descent.

Roughly 8 hours til tip off and suddenly the wind picked up in gusts, cleared away the clouds and turned the entire sky over the Dump on the Hump into that sickening tint of light blue. What can it mean? To me it doesn't bode well. Any other possible explanations will be greatly appreciated because it's making me too dang nervous!!!!!

[CathyCA]

It's 45 degrees here in sunny northern California, but we're expecting temperatures in the 70's by tipoff. Could those warm temperatures be a result of the flames emanating from the east?

That color in the sky is just a ruse to give our visitors a false sense of security! This is our day. Expect a great day like Dick Groat, Art Heyman and Tinkerbell brought us.

Coach Cutcliffe is bringing in some back up support to be in the stands today. The Speedo Guy is being honored by ESPN. Our game plan is ready. Coach said so.

When the next front comes in, the sky will darken as the Blue Devils emerge triumphant!

[balkan boy]

[Jumbo]

It's 1:45 p.m. and 45 degrees in NY -- a little warmer than usual this early in March. A thick, eerie fog has descended on the area. Some say the apocalypse is upon us, but Duke fans know the team will slam the gates of hell back down on UNC soon enough.

GO TO HELL, CAROLINA, GO TO HELL!!!

[captmojo]

Of course, all the windiness down here is due to the fact that the gates are open and carolina sucks. or, it could be that carolina sucks, therefore the wind blows.

Well after a two-day festival of Comcast repair-people, the temperature here in Marietta is 35 degrees, blustery, with a sopping wet ground. But the temperature in here is getting warmer because we have TV again, just in time to see Speedo Guy, MulletMan, and Viking on Gameday. Undoubtedly, it will get too warm for the speedo, but just right for Lederhosen.

Oh yeah, and Carolina can, like Comcast, GO TO HELL!!

Here in Michigan, it's freezing cold. But it'll be nice and warm in Hell for Carolina!

[BlueBlood112883]

35 here today in Hickory and was pouring down rain earlier....but now the sun is out. Oh well guess Mother Nature is trying to be neutral and give the UNC fans some hope. Too bad the only Carolina Blue they will feel great watching today is outside right now. Better savor it, because tonight is going to be a long night for UNC and their fans. GTHC GTH!!!!!!

[Ima Facultiwyfe]

...those light blue skies that were worrying me earlier in the day here on the Hump Dump have completely clouded over. It looks pretty grim around here now.

The residents have all retreated into their homes, barred their doors and windows and have begun to shudder. The quiet is eery. Only the wind whistling around for company.

I'll be heading out shortly, parking pass and tickets in hand, to pick up "Native". We'll be settling into our seats in Section 14, digging into our lucky popcorn, happy, relaxed and expecting to win.

No matter the outcome,though, I hope the Devils can feel how they've lifted us up this year. We've never been more proud of a team.

Love, Ima

That disgusting shade of blue has been quickly swallowed in the clouds now. All that can be seen is the brilliant oranges and yellows of the fires of HELL burning due west of Raleigh.
