3. College basketball is an ugly game and no longer fun to watch because Coach K's manipulation of the refs has singlehandedly destroyed it.

Local sports talk radio is calling bull on this. They were on Bo Ryan for complaining about the refs and rent-a-players. Apparently, he was going after Diamond Stone, a suspected OAD. Didn't get him but he wanted him.

He also had that snarky 'we don't do rent a players' remark. Sad when CALIPARI is the more gracious loser.
Also a great smack down of that remark:

If we had lost, Coach K would have been the epitome of grace and good sportsmanship. Hell, he was in victory. Did you guys see him stop hugging and celebrating with the assistant coaches so he could shake Ryan's hand with decorum? He didn't have to do that. I used to respect Ryan. No more. Haters gonna hate.

Congratulations !!!

offer some cheese with that wine and ask how come Winslow and Okafor spent a hunk of the second half on the bench...

Hell, they spent a hunk of the first half AND the second half on the bench.


Final answer: scoreboard.

Relevant music.

So I watched the last 13 minutes again. And I cried again.

My superstition was to NOT be in 21...Wasn't you guys, just my stupid idea of what might help the team! Crazy huh?

You will get not mockery from the woman who left 21 when we were down 9 AND left the living room to watch (sound off...lucky duck in hand) on the little TV in the bedroom

I wore the same ratty t shirt and greasy sweats for the last 4 games, and coaxed Merlin to sit in the same spot on the couch. Our bailiff told me when we went ahead to stay, his wife was in the hall headed to the bedroom, and he got her to stay in the hall until the game was over.

It's only crazy if it doesn't work.

I took this out of the magazine merchandiser's hands this morning. I need a bigger Duke shelf.

I made my sister and her husband delay the start of watching the game - we caught up at half time. As someone posted OY when asked if they were superstitious. I'm just stitious.
