From left we have Vince Carter, Julius Peppers, Makhtar Ndiaye (who?) and Antawn Jamison. This was taken last night at the national title game. Which smile do you prefer the most? It's a nice reminder that Duke vs. UNC is the best rivalry in sports. Even in victory, the UNC hatred still abounds {Golden's Nuggets} ... Read More
Lil’ Curry Determined to Go Opposite Route of Brother, Turn Country Against Him
That's because Seth Curry, as you may have heard by now, will be transferring to Duke. In an effort to ... not ... really ... address its big-man defencies ... Duke offered Lil' Curr (my nickname; feel free to run with it) a scholly this weekend. What in the name of J.J. Redick allowed this to happen? How will we view Duke now? Well, for the next 18 months, your disdain can ... Read More
Sweet 16 Preview: Duke-Villanova
What to Look For: The hype has already gotten pretty big for a regional semifinal, but this television rating should be pretty high, despite the 10 p.m. tip. So look for how the teams are shooting. Someone's going to win this game, and it's a situation where one of these teams could have a bad shooting night and still win the game. Both clubs have relied too much on settling for ... Read More
Great No-Call Here
Way to let it play out, zebras. Imagine if that went on for 20 seconds. (h/t: The Big Lead) ... Read More
Maryland fans have found Duke's hotel. One, supposedly, got a hold of Greg Paulus' room and asked him which ACC players' genitalia had the best taste. {850 The Buzz} ... Read More
Review: HBO’s Battle for Tobacco Road: Duke vs. Carolina
An interesting placement — smack dab in the middle between the game at Cameron two weeks ago and the one in Chapel Hill on March 8 — for this special to air. Watching an hour of the history of college basketball's greatest rivalry depicted, a few things stood out. 1) There was a lot of cursing. I liked that. 2) Both schools' fans want the other fans, and the school in general, ... Read More
Duke: Now 31 Percent Lighter Than Your Favorite Team
You probably couldn't see it that well because FSN hasn't gone mainstream in its HD coverage, but Duke was wearing some new uniforms last night. As you can see, Duke was donning some threads that seem to unlock the mysteries of Durham past. Designs of classic architectureare embedded into the fabric of these unis. Using Nike Aerographics technology, an engineered mesh providing zoned cooling and reducing the yarn by half, the weight ... Read More
They are quite strict and organized down in K-ville. It's almost like the Dharma Initiative. {K-ville} ... Read More
Not time to panic in Durham yet. A list is compiled of why Duke still has time to make a run in March. {ACCsports.com} ... Read More

Got this tip, not sure where it originated from, but I'm guessing a few Tar Heels messageboards out there are running with it. ... Read More
With UNC-Duke Tonight, Let’s Relive Speedo Man
Enjoy the history and maniacal nature of this rivalry embodied in the form of a college douche with a dream! ... Read More
Is Switching to Greg Paulus the Right Move?
Coach K said he needs leadership on the floor. He needs a tough guy. Duke always wants to claim it's the mecca of in-game toughness. Smack that maple, son! So, Greg Paulus, welcome back to the starting lineup. At least for tonight. What does it say of Duke if it needs this shot in the arm before playing its biggest rival? Paulus hasn't been the complete success many thought he would be, ... Read More
Al-Farouq Aminu, With Authority
"They are not a pretender. They are a contender." — Dick Vitale. Deep! Quite a few video highlights from last night's Duke-Wake matchup, but here's a fancy looking throw-down from the second half. ... Read More
Prepping for Duke-Wake Forest
A tasty top-six treat from Winston-Salem tonight. Duke, now being top-ranked, can be properly hated, as it should be. The Freakin' Deacons and Screamin' Demons will do their best Cameron Crazies impression. Last week at this time, Wake Forest was clutching the No. 1 ranking, then promptly fell at home to Virginia Tech. Will it be two straight Wednesday night losses at home? It's the first time in four season that ... Read More
Nolan Smith: Inducing the Duke Hatred Openly
Nasty dunk. But the celebration is something to harp on. Sorry, Duke lovers, but not that many school's guys would pose for a good four seconds after throwing it down like that. Get back on D and smack that maple, son! ... Read More
On Fraud Alert: Duke
We're not even to Thanksgiving and the Blue Devils appear to be overrated. The Rhode Island Rams took No. 8 Duke to the wire, losing 82-79 in Cameron Indoor a few minutes ago. Duke has now won 62 consecutive non-conference games at home, dating back to when they fell to St. John's in 2000. Too much of a knee-jerk reaction here? I don't know. It appears, more and more, that Coach K has ... Read More
Just When You Though It Was OK to Like Gerald Henderson
I'm in the midst of putting together quite a few pieces for the newspaper, so I'm a little backed up right now. (I'll try and be back to my normal schedule by Thursday.) Plus, the left shift button on my laptop is broken, so that's making things only that much more fun. Anyway, here's a great video that was over at Awful Announcing, but first popped up at Mister Irrelevant. Henderson ... Read More
Duke Booted
Doesn't feel the same as a Belmont victory would have, but we can all feel a little better about ourselves because Duke won't be going to the Sweet 16 for the second consecutive year. West Virginia defeated the Devils 73-67 and will now be considered the most "dangerous" team left in The Tournament. "Dangerous" is code for teams that aren't 1, 2 or 3 seeds, of course. (Because top seeds couldn't ... Read More
