    MBB: Duke 72, KU 75 Post-game Thread

    Long way to go. Granted, the schedule ahead isn't that difficult. But that just means the inevitable off nights could drag them lower.

    Are we witnessing Kyrie 2.0 (Flagg)

    Hopefully without the Flat Eartherism.

    Glad Riley proved me wrong. Again.

    Hey now -- let's all sing ours together. Ready? "Bluuue and white, blue and white, and blue and white, blue and white And bluuue and white, blue and white, and blue and white and blue ... and white." Rough start for Riley so far -- speaking of which, did everyone see the story about his...

    Love is fantastic. That might be the one player they couldn't afford to lose -- at least, if you believe all the people in ND discussion circles calling for Leonard to be benched early in the season. Georgia was indeed banged up all year, and it's simply not their best team in recent years by...

    MBB: Duke 89, SMU 62 Post-game Thread

    That's how I read it, too. I think I'm seeing the glass as half-empty a bit too much in my old age. That, or NIL has twisted my brain.

    Right -- my fault. I was looking at a schedule and just going by whether it said "@" or "vs."

    My reasoning for saying otherwise is based on two things ... 1. Georgia is definitely down from last year, and they still won the SEC. I'm guessing they'd have beaten Notre Dame if they hadn't lost their QB and about a dozen more players. 2. My take on the NFL Draft class is hardly novel...

    It's just a strange, strange season. Notre Dame isn't that good. They lost at home to Northern Illinois, and Riley isn't a top-tier QB. Until they beat Georgia, they really hadn't played anybody unless you count A&M -- and you shouldn't. But the thing is -- NO ONE is particularly good. Not...

    MBB: Duke 89, SMU 62 Post-game Thread

    To give an idea of how much of a jinx I am -- I listened to about five minutes of the game on Sirius XM, flipping back and forth between that and music while driving. During that time, Flagg had 0 points and 3 turnovers, and he fell down on defense to let his man score. I'm going to have to...

    Notre Dame ran 7:36 off the clock on a 41-yard drive. Several plays had 45 seconds elapse between them. That’s a veteran QB and/or a narcoleptic play-clock operator.

    For his first game, I think Stockton played pretty well. His teammates really let him down. I guess I'm happy for Riley, but it's just so bizarre that someone who threw three TD passes in his last year at Duke is in the national semifinal. And the NIL market is going to go berserk. If Belin...

    Blue Devils in the NBA 2024-2025

    I play fantasy in part to keep tabs on Duke players, but I didn't go overboard ... FIRST ROUND I passed up Tatum to draft Giannis 5th. Tatum went next. I've already received two ludicrous trade offers for Giannis. (Top four were Jokic, Wemby, Davis and SGA.) SECOND ROUND I got Trae Young...

    Welcome to Duke Darian Mensah !

    Has Mensah's salary -- er, NIL money -- been discussed here? I wasn't checking in much during the holidays: https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/highest-paid-player-in-college-football-history-transfer-qb-darian-mensahs-duke-deal-is-sign-of-times/

    I haven't been following too closely, and I'm just now jumping into a fantasy league. Is every Duke player hurt? Zion, Banchero, Ingram, Barrett, Bagley, McCain, Allen ... yikes!

    Duke players in the NFL 2024

    OK, NOW it's the game winner. And his second of the game. Second of the season, too. Missed a lot of time. Halfway through the first quarter, I thought this game would end up 49-10 Philly.

    Duke players in the NFL 2024

    Did we have another thread for this anywhere? This was what I found on a search. Anyway -- the Chiefs officially started a two-TE lineup, which means we got to hear Noah Gray say "Duke" in the player intros.
