Im sure....my wife is from there, and we have family in Orlando area, Cocoa Beach area, Naples and the Florida Keys...Islamorada specifically. So we visit most parts of the state...and have indeed visited the Red Neck Riviera. At one time thought about moving to Fairhope Alabama, near the RR.Quote:

Heck yeah that's exactly what happened. Sometimes I wish the SID at Duke would release data that proves Duke does NOT "get all the calls." I've always thought that game was when Shav Randolph decided to leave college...all the college officials everywhere seemed to feel free to call fouls on him all the time. I'm thinking he said sceerrreewwww this after that game and turned pro.Quote:

He yelled at me and then threatened my father...to the point that other fans stepped in. It was a horrible experience. The time before that, we had a blast (and Duke won--and I ran into my sorrority big sister who lives in Texas??!!). The crowd is loud, drinking and rowdy. Maybe not so much drinking at 2pm, but they are tuned up for this game. My job is based in Tallahassee, so I am there frequently and just got back from dropping my son off for spring semester at FSU. This game is all anyone can talk about sports wise, and certainly more interesting than politics! Expect a very very loud enthusiastic crowd. I also saw FSU at the Orange Bowl Classic over the holidays and they are HUGE in person. If Cofer is healthy (despite his too short and tight shorts), they are tough game.Quote:

Probably lucky it won't be a later game...because crowds simply get more amped later in most cases...but it will be full, it will be hostile and yes, FSU with Cofer is very good and they are HUUUGE - which makes them a bad match up for Duke this season. Zion can fly over everybody, but the immense height will be a challenge for Jack, Javin, Marques, Cam and RJ...Quote:

It should be interesting to see if any of FSU's height inside is bothersome to Zion...
I do not expect their height to bother Zion but I expect it will bother Bolden. I agree it will be interesting to observe.Quote:

That's a new one - ESPN moved the end of the Louisville game to ESPN News instead of the beginning of the Duke game.
Reddish looks good today. Very aggressive. Zion getting mugged again inside with no call. Nothing new.
Wonder if Tre is sick. Looks like he's dragging out there all game.
Just gotta say, so great seeing Reddish playing well. He can really raise the ceiling on how good this team can be.
That last Zion outlet was absurd.
Is it just me, or are Zion and RJ getting mugged every time they drive to the basket? With no call. The same does not seem to apply on the other end.
Yes, FSU players are being allowed to maul Duke's players on every drive with impunity -- and in some cases, poke them in the eye -- but that double standard in officiating at the Leon County Civic Center is customary, so get used to it.Quote:

It’s as though zebras think mugging Zion doesn’t count.Quote:

7 points with a couple of minutes and we go out on a 0-8 run to head to the locker room down a point - not good however. 3 point D could use some work.
I want Tre taking those type of shots all day. Just missing them today.Quote:

That eyepoke was ridiculous. How was that not called a foul. To make it worse the refs allowed florida state to play 5 on 4 and they hit a 3.
Hopefully we come out aggressive and running. Credit to florida state who are doing a good job marking Tre really tightly and throwing us off our offense in half court.
Jack White and Co. need to step up and hit some open jumpshots so that the lane doesnt get packed.
Unlucky really. Just missing some wideopen midrange jump shots.Quote:
