The Duke Basketball Off-season Drinking Game

[EarlJam]

To complement our in-season drinking game during televised games, I thought it would be amusing for us to have a drinking game based upon off-season developments. The game would be based upon discussions/threads on the Elizabeth King Board.

For your consideration, I offer the following:
1. Coach X has been fired. This would be the ideal situation for Wojo/Collins/Capel.
2. Once Wojo/Collins/Capel leaves, we need to hire a real big man coach - someone like Christian Laettner.
3. Player X is having an amazing off-season. They're going to be the key to our entire season next year.

Other suggestions?

I'm REALLY guilty of #3.

The past two years pre-season: "Man, look at Miles! He's beefed up, looks like a monster! He's going to kick some ass!"

The past two years in-season: "DOH!"

P.S. Not trying to be harsh on Miles. He's a great guy and a good ballplayer and did Duke proud. More of a reflection of my expectations just being out of whack.

I think we should drink if Duke gets mentioned in "One Shining Moment." (And we did!)

Was that "One Shining Moment," or "One Shitty Moment?"

Damn you Lehigh.

Dude doesn't look "beefed up" to me at all:



And I can't believe you called him a "monster." Dude looks pretty cute to me.

Shame on you, EJ.

thanking back I can only think of ONE shining moment.

Don't forget us winning in Maui, and the happy shock of TT's three pointers. That has to count for something, too.

Well. Maybe it was the beard?

And hey, monsters can be cute. Didn't you see Monsters Inc.?

A great shining moment in Three Rivers Stadium aka Smith Center with the Buzzer Beater by Austin Rivers!

Another shining moment in Maui, with wins over Tennessee, Michigan and Kansas! Ryan Kelly was the MVP!

Drink any time a player from another school announces he's transferring, and a thread appears about how this player would be the perfect addition to our team.

Great game! I especially loved how nobody had ever really heard of Oriakhi, and then all of a sudden everybody was an expert.

Drink whenever the opinion of a highly regarded recruit changes because he chose another school.
