I jumped for joy when the Hoyas won. We haters don't like this Blue Devils team for a reason...they are so egoloaded. My goal is to see them fall out of the top 25 and stay off. It was realized once. That though was a long time ago. We must stop them even more. My hats go off to Georgetown.
Duke will be fine. Georgetown didn't get lucky - they played a hell of a game and even then it wasn't over until the buzzer. I hate it when Duke loses, but it's not the end of the world. What do you mean, this year's team is egoloaded? JJ can talk a little trash every now and then (I haven't seen it as much as I did last year) but that's about as far as it goes. I kinda wish we had someone with a little more attitude at times. And I don't think anyone takes the GMATs anymore. GRE's, MCAT's, LSAT's, yeah.
Why do you think Duke is egoloaded starfire15? They just believe that they can and should win every game they play. You seem more interested in seeing Duke fail than seeing your team succeed. I think most "Duke haters" are such because they win so much. The fact that there are so many Duke haters is a compliment to their program- it just shows how successful they have been over the years. I mean if they were a mediocre team, playing .500 ball then nobody would care or talk about Duke other than their fans.
In that case humans why don't you enroll and learn how to make an educated addition to the discussion. Just like you did , right yingyang? Way to advance the discussion. Stop picking at people and add something to the topic. He was obviously being sarcastic. Are you the sportsfilter police? I have been here about a week and have yet to read anything from you that was about the topic onboard. Who got fired from sportsfilter and made you critic of all message boards?
I tried to do this using humour, but it obviously isn't working. If you guys wish to slag each other's teams off, go find another website. We want this place to be a refuge from that sort of thing, where we can discuss sports constructively and with a minimum of personal abuse. The use of punctuation is also a mark of respect for people who may wish to read your opinions. Read the posting guidelines was the point I tried to make earlier.
I think the creation of Duke-haters isn't the result of Duke winning all of the time. It is the result of the announcers and sports personalities constantly sweating the team and Coach K without any let up. They are good, but they have won one championship in the last (more than) ten years. So, as soon as we can stop being inundated with the constant praise of how great Duke is, then maybe some of us haters will not be happy when they inevitably lose.
Great game by the Hoyas! I was in San Fran at the time on the way to wine country so I missed the game. Saw the highlights on the flight home and was impressed by the Hoyas use of JT III's Princeton-style offense (or is it un-impressed by Duke's defense?). Jeff Green shut down Sheldon Williams in the paint which forced Reddick to carry the team. Kind of disappointed to see all the unbeatens fall, though.
Who got fired from sportsfilter and made you critic of all message boards? I was appointed last week. What people do have to remember is that no team has gone undefeated since UNLV so Duke still has an excellent chance at the championship.
