What is going on in Durham?

[CMSOONER]

Last time Duke wasn't in the dance....1995.

Always amazes me how many people hate Duke basketball. What Coach K has done there is nothing short of amazing. He doesn't cheat. He doesn't recruit punks/thugs. Duke has pretty high entrance requirements, I believe. And for the most part, he is super consistent in having a good team. Not many stinker seasons.

I respect the heck out of their program.

Seriously?.....I can list multiple reasons to hate Dook:

• They invented flopping
• Christian Laettner
• Bobby Hurley
• Cameron crazies
• Get more calls than KU ever thought about
• Perpetually sucked off by the media

Putting the Cameron Crazies on there is just mine blowing to me. Hate a team because they have a rabid, well organized student section?

Yeah, that makes sense.

Well, it was real cute 25 years ago....but a little bit goes a long way when it's constantly shoved down your throat on every f***ing telecast. I do enjoy seeing their faces after losses though....but what can I say, I'm a sadist.

I respect the heck out of KU's program. Doesn't mean I have to like them or their coach.

Let me guess, you also complain when there are 3500 in the LNC, I wish we have the same support for basketball Duke has while still keeping our football support

Cameron Indoor Arena's seating capacity is 9,314. That's more than 2,000 seats less than capacity at the LNC.

If the LNC is renovated at some future date, I think the seating capacity should be reduced to make it easier to fill up the place. That could generate more interest in locking up season tickets and buying package deals, plus it would create a much better atmosphere for fans to show their support for our basketball programs.

Yes, they are the worst and KU second. You get the feeling they'd drink the grape juice with no questions asked. I still like to ask my KU friends why there wasn't another "Is Roy Williams staying or going" ceremony over at the football stadium the second time around.

Sorry pal....don't know where in the hell you're going with this or where you came up with that random nonsense. But I've never chimed in on any attendance discussion (either way) with regards to LNC.

I don't like Duke nor the hysteria surrounding their "crazies"....deal with it.

I think it was a Maryland fan who invented a "Big Monday Drinking Game." You'd pour a bunch of liquor shots and set them out before whatever game Dicky V did on ESPN that didn't involve Duke. But every time he mentioned Duke, you were supposed to down a shot. That apparently left very people sober by halftime of whatever game was on ESPN at the time.

Just amazing

I agree. Laettner and Hurley are not especially likable. I'd love it if OU had a student section that committed and intense. Any program not named Kansas probably feels the same way.
