WE'RE NOT RIVALS

so sorry, Maryland fans, but Duke doesn't care, never has, never will.

Socrates would ask:

How many national championships does Maryland have? How many ACC titles? How many NPOTY? How many NBA players starting for NBA teams? Who winds up having more games broadcast on national TV, Duke, or Maryland? Which team makes corporate, capitalist America more cash money, Duke, or Maryland?

Take off your rose-colored glasses and answer the damn questions. Let's be objective here.

Win or lose tonight on national TV, Maryland is the red-headed stepchild of the ACC... just because a blind squirrel... you know how the saying goes.

Win or lose tonight, Duke will be pumped up and angry. This makes them dangerous.

Don't expect J.J. Redick and Shelden Williams to both have bad games. One of the two seniors, or both, will go off. Sean Dockery will be a key, and DeMarcus Nelson could come flying off the bench in the second half to put this sucker out of reach for good.

Expect a close game (10 points or less), or a 30-point embarrasment.

Either way... when's that UNC game again??

LET'S GO DUKE

I'll give you the national championships, NOPOY, ACC titles, but quality NBA pros, I have to defend for Maryland.

The recent pros of Francis, Wilcox, Dixon, Blake, Baxter and Joe Smith match up quite well with Brand, Hill, Maggette, Langdon and Battier.

did you guys hear about Travis Garrison turning himself in for a sexual harrassment incident on Oct. 27 in College Park? oops

there is a waste of talent, i feel bad for Gary having to put up with it, but not for Maryland fans... not one bit.

on a related note, i took a picture with Linda and James C. Gist, Jr.- parents of James Gist #15 - after the Duke thrashing at Cameron Indoor. he should be a solid pro in the NBA someday.
