Duke

Watching Duke this weekend, I came to the realization that my dislike for them is bordering on how I feel about N Dame in football. That shouldn't be right? Coach K is by all accounts a good guy who does things right. The players are mostly clean and very white compared to other national programs. I should love them, but I can't stand them. I guess it comes down to arrogance, the one thing that overrides just about any other emotion for me. They crossed the bridge to arrogance a long time ago. Rich white guys pulling for rich players, dripping with the attitude that they are entitled to be at the top. Even now I get riled up typing it out. Having them back in the F4 is most unwelcome to me.

I had a feeling yesterday morning that Baylor wouldn't beat them. I didn't think Baylor understood the intensity that would be required to beat Duke in a big game. Still, they had a shot until those back to back 3's. That game hurt me a lot. A lot.
