Some Duke hate being propounded on College Game Day. Eric Church is now on my list of most hated country singers.
No post on this thread in over 2 hours? Bump.
I guess we are just ready to play the game. Let’s knock the crowd out of it early and bulldoze these cheaters.
From John Feinstein's "A March to Madness" - Chapter 18 - "We're Winning on Wednesday"
"Close isn't good enough. It's just not good enough. What you guys don't understand is that one of my strengths as a coach is that I hate to lose. I HATE IT! When I was a kid I got into all sorts of trouble because I had such a bad temper when I lost at something. I'd go crazy. I don't think any of you is like that."
He turned aroud, took a blue Magic Marker and drew a line across the marking board on the wall. "This is what I'm talking about, "he said, pointing to the line. "None of you has ever drawn this line and said, 'That's it. That's as far as you go. You will have to kill me to cross this line. I mean kill me. North Carolina, you want to cross this line? No f%#$ing way!' You guys have never done that. We haven't done that this year, we didn't do it last year, and we certainly didn't do it the year before that."
He pointed to the blue line again. "This is it, right now. This is the turning point in our season. We have to draw the line here, right now. We have to go out there with the idea that there is only one alternative on Wednesday: winning the game. That's it. We're winning on Wednesday. I am going to find the guys in this room who will draw that line. I don't care who they are, but I am going to find them. Because one way or another, we're winning on Wednesday. There is no alternative. None."

Duke 80
UNC 73
I haven't seen any rumors or news out there. Probably just a lot of betting coming in for UNC to win, moving the line.
Hey, take it easy on ol’ Eric. My set of four individual brown leather home theater chairs were designed by him, and the front of each arm has cool stitching detail and small nail accents that mimic the neck of a guitar. One of them even has side mounted speakers with Bluetooth connectivity — and the speakers actually sound pretty damn good!
So I’m going to give Eric a break on his poor choice in choosing a favorite college (UNC).
