And that’s Reality…

Its the job of every parent to make an occasional sacrifice for their kids.... He can put his distain on pause for a year or two for the sake of his kid.

Maybe, maybe not... Kons recent shooting dips could just be home vs away. Need a larger sample size. I think we will have a better indication after Auburn. As for Manny. He's been on the top of the heap and then in a supporting roll at several Apex Predator type FB programs. He knows how the...

If he CAN get to the NBA, he probably will. Defense and body (physical maturity) seem to be the biggest concerns at the moment. If college dudes are bumping him around and its hard to defend in college... going up against grown men competing for a roster spot and a check... I'd have to wonder...

I see a lot of hand wringing about lineups. People want to be right in projecting their version of a given lineup on a given night. I tend to think its going to be more fluid. Who matches up against a given opponent on a given night and how they are defending in practice vs: who is healthy and...

That's super cool!! Please tell me Duke Orthopedics is working on a basketball shoe. (JK) mostly, but not really.. we've had too many foot related injuries.

I still haven't forgiven Kentucky for the title loss in 78. Or Louisville for the title loss in 86.

Maybe I'll have something clever in a game or two. I'm just not feeling the inspiration to Pith right now..

I voted 2-3. I think we find a way to pick up 2 more wins if we stay moderately healthy. I'd like more. But to win more we'd need a level of Offensive execution and creativity for an entire game, that we have not yet evidenced for a full quarter.

I'm just not sure about this. I mean would the SEC or B1G really just come out and say "we plan to add FSU/Clem/other in 3 to 5 years" with a functioning ACC? I'm not attorney, but it seems to me if they went public with such statements they could potentially be vulnerable to some sort of...

I don't see it any particular way just yet. I am trying to understand it and verify what might be true vs smoke and BS.

So we aren't out of the Woods of Defection, just yet... The buzz I was hearing wasn't about the possible ACC exits (for a change) - it was about ESPN brokering a PAC 2 move to the Big12. Perhaps avoiding a lawsuit, perhaps blocking and muddying the water for ACC defections?

Any REAL verifiable new news on this front? I thought since we were now into August this noise would die down for a bit. Twitter was seemingly again kicking the can on rumor speculation and innuendo last night. It had something to do with ESPN leaning on the Big12 to pic up the Pac2 teams - to...

My eldest boy told me about this program at lunch today.. https://law.asu.edu/degree-programs/mslb He's a Rising Sr in Marketing at SC, Columbia. He wants to work in sports, but this seemingly gives him a path to being an agent. And I assume negotiating/navigating NIL and collectives are part of...

I 100% dig the titanic metaphor buffet.

Here's the net net from my limited vantage point. If Duke no longer has a chair when the music stops and they don't have a seat at some conference table to compete as a national power in basketball.. I can very easily not watch any more sports. I am not a basketball fan. I am a Duke Basketball...

I'm going not to root for the ACC's demise. Simply because of familiarity. There are a great number of things I wish they would do better. I'm not happy with them overall. But boy oh boy, how cheesed off would FSU, Clem, and Miami be if they moved laterally to the Big 12 by breaking up the...

I'm so far over it, it just doesn't bother or worry me anymore. I am so freaking tired and weary of Football driving every single thing. I just don't care that much about football. Its nice. Its a novelty. I like going into games having a decent shot at winning. I'll watch or go to a Duke FB...

This is a great little show. Season 1 was intentionally disjointed. You were thrown into the fire and had to figure out the relationships and context on the fly. Much Like Carmy (the central Character). It pays off at the end of season one and everything is more understood. Season 2 - so far...

My 17 yo put on his Christmas List a Christian Laettner Duke jersey. eBay has a bunch of knock-off jerseys under "The Shot" (not "Duke") many of them are signed. The Duke store doesn't have one listed online.. Anyone have a lead on where to find one or perhaps a spare?
