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.
