I would never speak ill of Duke. Well, except maybe to say that their coach is a whiny little hemmorhoid. And... the Duke fans are pretty much the same also ......

Not all of us. I'm not little, no way, no how.

...and the school, itself, was essentially founded by what is arguably the most vile (legal) industry on the planet.

On another side note - 6 feet, unobstructed space off the endline? My rosy red backside. Ridiculous. Do all schools get to carry on with blatant disregard for NCAA rules, or just the upper tier of the "Big Time?"

(I'm all hopped up on multiple cold meds right now, so it's more difficult to mask my contempt for that coach and school at the moment.)

Gimme a ****ing break. So since Washington Duke owned a tobacco business and donated money to the university, that taints everything that has anything to do with the University.

If ignorance is bliss, you must be one happy maroon.

Yes, if for no other reason, simply because I don't like Duke.

Well, just to help you with your ignorance, Duke University Medical Center is one of the leading medical facilities in the country. I've had several friends treated for cancer their. Most recently, on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, a friend who hit a deer while riding his Harley was airlifted to Duke in critical condition, not expected to live. I spoke with him in church this morning.

Feel free to dislike their coach, team and fans. I do. But don't let the fanboy in you blind you to the fact that it is one of the finest universities in this country, just because one of their early contributors was a tobacco farmer. If that's the case, you might want to consider that you live in a country which achieved it's independence because of a few tobacco farmers, among others.

Easy there, BBR. Totally understood (and previously aware) on all accounts -- and very glad to hear about your friend.
