Why people hate Duke

Facebook exploded after Duke lost in the NCAA Tournament, and that comes as no surprise as everyone hates the Blue Devil more than the Taliban? But why is that? Let's explore the reasons...

1. Christian Laettner - Probably hit the biggest shot in school history and then went on to have a rather unremarkable NBA. He also looks like an incredible douche...

2. Their football program is a joke - It's once thing to have a good basketball program... and another to have an absolutely abysmal football program. You're not casting off the whole "wuss" image when you're getting beat by I-AA schools by double-digits.

3. Their coach looks like a rat - Honestly, you have to say this about Coach K... he's a winner. However, this is something that I can never get past, the dude is like 60 and still have jet black hair. Dye job anyone?

4. The Cameron Crazies - Granted they're loud, but they're like Harry Potter fans. Nobody likes a nerdy, mom and dad pays for college student section. (cough cough, Gonzaga, cough cough)

5. They not the UNC Tarheels - UNC produced Michael Jordan, Duke produced... J.J. Reddick? A hobbled Grant Hill? Ummmmm...

It may not happen very often, but when it does, we like to gloat a little. Villanova 77, Duke 54.

Puke on Duke

In case you didn't notice from Brandon's previous posts, this is an "anti-Duke" blog. These are the shirts that we are wearing to watch the game tonight:

Reasons you're still single: You root for Duke

Duke's crowds remind me a Star Trek convention. You guys are ridiculous (We're just going to be bashing Duke all day here at Just South of North).

Times are a changin'

I honestly never though I'd see the day when the Denver Broncos would fire Mike Shanahan.

Sure, his Broncos blew a big lead in the AFC West, arguably one of the worst divisions in the NFL. And granted, in their season-ending match up against San Diego, Denver was such a flop that the Chargers were resting players for the playoffs by the third quarter in a game that they needed to win to even make it there.

But fire Mike Shanahan? One of the rocks of the NFL coaching scene? And it's not like he's doing a bad job - his teams have been competitive and made the playoffs on a regular basis, they just really haven't done all that well. They were the NFL version of the Duke Blue Devils. Has Coach K been fired?

(I'm convinced CBS has a canned "DUKE GOT UPSET" segment that they run everytime the team is knocked out of the tournament)

I'm just a little shocked - I can remember growing up and Shanahan being the golden standard of coaches after winning two Super Bowls with Elway.

Well know I guess I'll have to look up to Herm Edwards.
