no jinxess. be careful here with 'woofing' - UNC lost to VT without Brandon Robinson and Anthony by in 2OT and shoulda beaten Clemson too. Clemson who we lost to. ANYONE can beat ANYONE in ACC - not having Cole A and then Brandon Robinson was a big help to VT tonight. I am a HUUGE Duke fan but no jinxes. I will be interested to see them w Robinson back.. I hope they don't get ANthony
Due to the ACC network, I just saw the end of the game again. ZHeels still looked good.
I just took a look at the league standings and a little tear formed in the corner of my eye and warm feeling came over me.
yes, unfortunately, reports of the heels demise are greatly exaggerated. I fully expect them to go 17-12 9-9, steal a game in the ACC tournament and get like a seventh seed in the NCAAs over several much more deserving teams.
Some games last night in the ACC though! 10 points to decide 4 games.
I went to bed with UNC up 9 & VT couldn't make a wide open jumper. I woke about an hour later, (my normal insomnia) went to the couch & turned on SC..I am thinking well no way UNC didn't win but with a sliver of hope I pull up DBR on my phone and see posts like the one from devildeac. My heart so filled with joy, I went to my computer to watch the last 10 minutes and OT.
Dadgum, that is hard way to lose. Is there just a small part of me buried deep inside that feels just a speck of sadness for the CHEATS?
NO!
Come on Miami. Make it 7.
This is about right. I would bet the farm that the pack lays an egg and rolls over and plays dead and drops both games to the holes.I really hope I,m wrong but Roy does seem to own them.I despise anything to do with the cheats,but it would not surprise me if they don't go on some kind of run when Anthony comes back,steal a game in the acc tourney, and sneak in to the big dance and make all of the ESPN clowns giddy!
This is how I feel toward uncheat. There have been far more players at cheatville that I like than those I despise. This is how I rank the things I despise: 1) 99% of their stupid fans. 2) the entire athletic program and what they stand for. Wins at all costs, in other words cheat in every way possible. 3) Those stupid banners they won by cheating.
4) ESPN for hardly mentioning the cheating/fraud. 5) Dean Smith, he started the cheating. 6) Frank McGuire. He probably drew up the blue print for cheating. 7)That ugly ram. 8) Any announcer that excuses said fraud(you Jay). 9) ole roy, yes you knew. 10) Bubba for lying through it all.
Whew, glad I got that off my chest.
GoDuke!

Agreed. And I know this is my pessimism getting the better of me, but it just feels like the universe is setting us up. My fear is UNC keeps losing... until we play them. Duke’s margin for error is not that great and if Anthony comes back he is capable of going nuts against us. Before the season my expectations were relatively low but then we were playing amazing defense. Now it feels like we are playing more to the level I expected, which makes every game a possible loss. Luckily the ACC is terrible, but that only hides our deficiencies.
I’ll just expect the worst and be happy if it doesn’t happen...
Obviously the ghost of Dean Smith is making it impossible for Ol' Roy to break his wins record.
I never thought I'd say this, but "Go Dean!"
Now I gotta go wash my mouth out with soap.
