[QUOTE=MilTan] _Lonely State fan continues sadly reminiscing about David Thompson_ Bah. [/QUOTE] He may have been the best non-Dukie ever. (Hill, Battier, Laettner. All four year players.) His block on Walton is legendary. Such a beautiful game. A real shame his pro game left the rails. ---

[QUOTE=Contrapuntal] Well, of course. Had I the perspicacity of one such as yourself, no doubt my tastes would run to teenage vampire soap operas and video games. Alas, we must play the hand we are dealt. 😉 Right back atcha. [/QUOTE] Actually, it’s amazing what creative things one can do with the most unlikely of source material, if one puts one’s mind to it. Ever wonder, for example, what would happen if Buffy and her friends ran into the X-Men and Superman? 😛 ---

I had no idea [Duke](http://www.doonesbury.com/strip/thecast/duke.html) founded a university at some point\*. So that would make Duke University, what, twenty or thirty years old? - - In the US, that is. I guess his experience with Baby Doc U in Haiti must’ve warmed him to the idea. ---

Of course, growing up with season tickets to Duke basketball in the 80’s and 90’s provides one with a nice foundation for distraction this time of year. ---

[/QUOTE] Well, I was a Duke undergrad, you see. UGA came later. (And I was raised on 'Dawgs football the way you were raised on Duke basketball.) Works out really nicely, as I can flip allegiances depending on which sport is in season. 😉 And I still have high (but perhaps vain) hopes for UGA’s basketball future. I like Felton as a coach, and he has some good players coming in. (Now if he can only keep them out of trouble and in school.) ---
