Duke has left the NCAA tournament! Let the rejoicing commence!

Since my brackets got shattered faster than Rosie O’Donnells lingerie model career :eek: , I have been forced to rejoice in the other aspects of the tournament. And the second best I could have hoped for (second to a UK championship) just happened: DUKE LOST! As a lifetime University of Kentucky fan, I’m required by law to hate them. And when they lose, and I get to see J. J. Redick cry as he ends his career with a loss, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Who’s with me? ;j

Lifetime Michigan fan/Duke-hater checking in. I’m with you! Woo-Hooo!

I hate Duke (being from Maryland) as much as anyone, and not to rain on any Duke-hater’s parade, but why rejoice in JJ Redick’s pain? He’s never struck me as arrogant or a prick, rather he’s had to deal with a lot of shit thrown at him from fans all over, and seems to have dealt with it ok.

Except for my brackets, I’m glad Duke lost - just never felt the animosity towards Redick as seems so prevalent everywhere.

There is a God, and he does wear the REAL Blue and White. A Duke loss truly is the next best thing to a UK win.

The sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home… :smiley:

Georgetown/Uconn fan here (don’t ask). Woo hoo!!!

(although I have no problem with Redick or any of the players–it’s the fans and their overwhelming sense of entitlement that bug the hell out of me).

Duke’s loss made me very happy.

I’m thrilled that we won’t have to play them. Go Tigers!

(Memphis Tigers, that is.)

Weep no more, my lady,
Oh weep no more today.
I will sing one song for my old Kentucky home,
For my old Kentucky home far away.

Duke defeats always give me that warm, fuzzy feeling. Way to go, Tigers!

The Blue Devils are going to need to attend a refresher course in how to rebound off missed free throws … they were pathetic down the stretch.

If the Zags win tonight, I think the scales might tip toward Adam Morrison for Player of the Year honors.

More like playa of the year.

Think he knows that that thing makes him look like a 13-year-old showing off that he can grow a “moustache”? At least they lost.

Now it’s off to an NBA career as a poor man’s Jeff Hornacek! :smiley:

Ahh…what a taunting thread. My Mountaineers could have been in a position to take advantage of such a monumentous occasion (and exact a little revenge on LSU for ruining Jerry West’s number retirement day), but well…live by the 3, die by the 3 :frowning:

Damn, I was kinda hoping the Gators would have the pleasure of disposing of Duke (again) should we make it to the title game. But it’s still great to see Coach K whining. “The refs weren’t quite as ridiculously biased in our favor as they are in ACC games!” I’m sorry Coach K, why don’t you go shoot a few more commercials to sooth your pain.

go lsu :confused:

More like the poor man’s Larry Bird, which is to say he’ll be a helluva lot better than Jeff Hornacek ever was.

Please.
