Haha. Hahaha. Hahahaha.

[Y.O.M.]

On my list of things that make me the happiest, watching Duke lose is certainly high up on it.

Watching Duke lose twice in a row to unranked teams? Simply glorious.

[Nittany Tar Heel]

What are your thoughts on 3 in a row?




Please God Please God Please God Please God

[PhilaVa]

This is dumb. Don't mind if I call you out YOM, do you?

If someone did this after an Eagles loss on the Eagles board people would be throwing one hell of a hissy fit.

i for one agree 100000% with this thread. i hope they lose all their games from here on out and miss the tourney.

Hahahaha.

The last 4 or 5 minutes of that ball game made Duke look like a high school team.

[BambinoBear]

The last 4 or 5 minutes of that ball game made Duke look like a high school team.

UNC turned up the defense. They gave Duke way to many open looks in the first and part way thru the 2nd. Then they dropped the hammer. Poor FT shooting helped as well.

[randomguymike]

It does seem that the purpose fo the Duke board is exclusively for trolling. I don't think we'll be recruiting many Duke fans for this board.

Eh. You can look at it that way. Or you could look at it as this trolling should weed out the nancies before they get here.

Or not.

No. This is the same crap that ruined ESPN. Obviously most of us know you and are fine with it but a newbie isn't going to want to hang around if it's just going to be the same crap as ESPN.

Ok. I don't want anyone to get in trouble, I'm just expressing my opinion on it. I don't have a major problem with it...just pointing out some hypocrisy.

Ok, so I was trolling.

But on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the most trollish, I'm sure this thread places me somewhere around 1 or 2.

I see what you're saying about a newbie. For that reason, I will hide my anti duke sentiments in other threads, in the poker forum, for instance.

Ya, I don't have a major problem with it. I just wanted to point out how bad it looked and imagine how bad it would be if it was on another board.

Honestly I never went to the Packers board to piss people off...that may surprise some but it's true. It's my opinions on subject that got me in trouble with the Packers board and my inability to give an opinion and let it go. Never was I on the Packers board in such a fashion of this...

And that was at least 2 years ago...

My opinion on the subject of their losses may not be well accepted, but it's most definitely not my intent to piss of Duke fans.

I'm sure you see where i'm going here.

Who are our Duke fans anyway? I know I made this board for someone.

People always beg for boards and then don't post in them.

I knew this was coming. There is no chance of me going to look through 20,000+ posts to find anything. There was some trouble with you on the Packer board, that's all I remember. I'm not going to dive into it anymore, I just found it a little funny coming from you.


And being Duke fans, I'm sure they are used to this stuff. They are one of the most hated teams in any sport.

[Jiddy78]

18-6.

Their losses came to teams that are:

16-6
17-7
21-3
21-4
16-7
15-8

That's a combined 106-35 (.752) record....I wouldn't say this is a complete fallout disaster....Of course, 4 of those losses came at home, which isn't a good sign for tournament-type success...

I realize I have a negative stigma from some fans, expecially packers fans but it's been near 2 years since my problems came with the Packers board. Have you not read any of my posts since then or was I so horrible that you can't let it go?

I'm simply not the same poster.

More surprising and worrysome than all the losses is the way they are coming. They have had leads, big leads in at least half of their losses and have gone completely cold and lost the games. Same can be said for last night.

I let it go. I didn't say anything about your posts now, I was referring to back then. I have no problems with you, never did. I don't see a problem with what YOM did, we all get pleasure out of certain teams losing.

Phila busted my balls during the Bears playoffs a bit...but hardly trolled and sent me a nice email wishing us well in the Super Bowl.

The point?

Y'all need to lay off before I gay this thing up like no other.

Sure we do. And that's not my problem. I as well tak pleasure when some teams lose. But the "Haha. Hahaha." Title on the duke board I think it could go another way. I know YOM and I don't have a major problem with it.

My point would be what would happen if I was to go to the Packers board after they lost and post the same topic in the same fasion. I don't think anyone would be apologizing for me and ryr couldn't get to the ban button fast enough.

Again, let me say I'm not looking for any punishment for YOM...and I know where the report button is so please don't remind me where it is and how to use it...I was just making an example.

JLove, come on now.

I really don't want to hear that BS. This Duke board is rarely used, not even for trolling. You can't tell me that you're so sensitive that a guy like me saying "hahaha" when a perennial powerhouse such as Duke loses a few games. If so, you shouldn't take life so seriously.

But I do apologize, and I'll be sure to never post here again so you can have hater-free Duke talk to your heart's content.

I dont really have a problem with this thread because well i expected it....pretty much everyone here hates duke for one reason or another so when i try to start a thread about their last game or something like that it just turns into a thread about how gay jj redick is or that duke gets all the calls or how coach k is an asshole or a combination of all three. But honestly it doesnt really matter to me, im used to it and i dont care. Its all good.

Well, for what it's worth, I have a ton of respect for Coach K, and believe him to be one of the best coaches the NCAA has ever had.

I do believe Duke gets a lot of calls in a lot of games. That's not trolling, that's a fact that anyone not a Duke fan can see.

JJ Reddick or however you spell his name is another story. But he's no longer at Duke, so it's moot.

You say that you don't post here because you only get crap, but I don't see you posting much on this forum at all, so I honestly don't know how you can say that's true.

I searched the threads on this board for the last 2 months.

Everytime you use the word Dook instead of Duke...you can consider it being trollish. I'm not complaining...post how you want but you don't see things the same way as other people do...realize that.

I know what you said the reason was. And I know that there's a 0% chance it's true because those threads don't exist.

I'm not saying it's a character flaw or anything, I posted about 1/2 as much on the Penn State board this year as last year since they weren't as good.

[PhilaVa]

Do we really need to head down this unbelievably foolish road again?

Yes, because you don't get it.

You don't get it.

Imagine for a second if I was a fan from another team coming to the Eagles board and continually calling them the Beagles...or an Eagles fan visiting the Cowboys board continually calling them Cowgirls.

It's disrespectful and trollish everytime you do it, whether or not you feel it or not.

I don't want to question your intelligence here but this is how you spell D-U-K-E.

[Nittany Tar Heel]

You've made your point. Several times.

I've responded - several times - by telling you that for someone who makes a habit of mixing it up on other boards, you should probably have some thicker skin then to let something as common as this drive you crazy. The women's game was on TV just a moment ago. Some kids had their chests painted to read "Go to Heel, dook". If you go to the Carolina scout board, if you spell it anyway but "dook", you get corrected by a half-dozen people. It's just a rivalry thing, like "Go to Hell Carolina", which I couldn't care less about. It's not worth 1/100 of the time and stress you put into it.

You don't agree. No big deal.

Nice!

Looks like they may be dancin' this year....Couple more wins...and with very winnable games at NC State and home vs. Miami, 20 wins and a strong ACC showing (2 wins vs. NC, a win at Duke and a win vs. Maryland) thus far...Woohoo!
