Elessar78 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Thought we Dukies needed a place to congregate in the run-in to March Madness. Good win against Wake. Next up NC St on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonez3 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Close thread please....J/K I'm an ND fan, so somehow we get lumped together by haters. They really need to string together a tournament, been to long since they performed up to level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjfootballer Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 If this was a Panthers forum I'd be ok with this, but as a MD fan, former ACC foe and Duke hater, I have to disagree with this premise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodBits Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Maryland fans have no room to complain about Duke (or any other ACC) posts. You left all your rivalries back in the ACC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Maryland fans have no room to complain about Duke (or any other ACC) posts. You left all your rivalries back in the ACC.

Elessar78 Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 My sister and brother-in-law went there. I was accepted there but chose to go elsewhere. Do you have a point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Maryland left the ACC?? And that's what I'm talking about. Personally, I think its a win-win situation for all parties involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rictus58 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 My sister and brother-in-law went there. I was accepted there but chose to go elsewhere. Do you have a point? Just a little research if the ever-present NBD Syndrome (never been to Dallas) that is present in so many NFL fans translates to the NCAA arena as Never Been to Duke syndrome.

Elessar78 Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Of course most Duke fans have never been to Duke. They're enrollment is like 5 people. Fandom is pretty arbitrary when you think about it. Did YOU have a choice where you were born? What about all these guys I grew up with who never cared about the Caps but now are HUGE Caps fans because they're the only winner in town. Do they get a pass because they're regionally covered? My family moved to DC and we won a Super Bowl that year. We could've just as easily ended up in Seattle or California. I like some soccer team in London. I've never been to London. I guess I don't have a right to enjoy watching them play. Or like our Redskins fans on this board from France or the UK or the Islands or just from any random state in the union—I guess they have no right to support this team just because it caught their eye for whatever reason.

pjfootballer Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I grew up rooting for MD living in the area. They were a top 5 choice for me to attend, but my parents thought it would be better for me to go away to school. So I went to Memphis State who had a top 5 Communications program. So I have UM and UM to root for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forehead Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Yeah, not feeling this OP, Duke is easy to hate on. Fun fact, and I promise this is true. I have a close friend who is a UVA grad. As you can imagine, he hates the Blue Devils. Despite being straight as an arrow, recently married in fact, he has gone on record as saying he would willingly be caught in bed, in the middle of any sex act, with Mike Krzyzewski, for the sole purpose of ruining him. And before any gay rights activists get up in arms, just can it. Wrong or not, that would cause a severe backlash on the coach. My friend was willing to be personally involved. Now that's hate!

Elessar78 Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Maybe it's just time for your friend to grow up? It's funny hearing the reasons people hate teams, particularly Duke. Not because they're above reproach, but it's so petty. Go for it, make a list of why y'all hate Duke. It should be fun for you and me. Maybe you'll convince me to stop rooting for them.

Elessar78 Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Really? More "arrogant" than other teams with a run of success? Alabama, Ohio State, Pats, Yankees? A lot of people hate Seattle fans here because they're arrogant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
