Coach K brings home the Gold

Coach K lead Team USA back to the Gold.

“Culminating a three-year mission to end years of embarrassment, the U.S. team survived a huge challenge from Spain, winning 118-107 in the gold-medal game Sunday.

Order was restored in international basketball.”

“Their prize: the first U.S. gold medal since the 2000 Sydney Olympics.”

The Beijing Olympics were owned by Team USA lead by Duke’s very own Coach K.

Congrads to Coach K in leading Team USA back to glory.

We Survived…

Another band wagon Carolina run from its fan base. This past week the Tarholes made it to Omaha for the baseball world series. Fans Bandwagon fans came out of the wood work once again to cheer on the team they couldn’t name the lead off hitter for.

I think we know who you are. The bandwagon fan talks trash at work. The team loses. The bandwagon fans fails to mention or talk about the baseball team that lost this past weekend. They are indeed hillarious.

I do know one thing, they are 0-3 in their run for the title. Much like the basketball team thats gone 0-2 in the past 2 years. Now that they have their lineup back again, lets see if the basketball team can go 0-3 like their baseball team.

Let the Haterade Flow!

Wow! As great as the game was last night…nothing is as important to the Carolina fan base as seeing ‘ol Roy in the crowd. I have to be honest, I never saw the controversy at first. I didn’t even notice “the sticker” that has everyone riled up. On the way to work it was absolutely hilarious listening to all of the Tarhole callers complaining about Roy’s sticker. You know what, they’re all right! Who the hell wears a Jayhawk sticker after getting their asses handed to them less than 48 hours ago? Theres nothing more I love as a Dukie than listening to all the whiners come out of the wood work. Maybe there’s a job in Kansas thats coming up soon that we don’t know about. Maybe he knows something we don’t.

After Kansas’ 81-78 loss to Syracuse in the national championship game in 03, Williams was asked about the North Carolina job.

“I don’t give a shit about North Carolina,”

he told CBS’ Bonnie Bernstein

Someone Forgot to Give the Memo to Tyler

Lets All Hate on Hansbrough

It wasn’t going to be a “Bash Hansbrough Week” but when an opportunity arises, once must pounce. You see, after all of the ribbing Duke fans receive from Redick writing poems, what comes around goes around. I heard this great bit of information on the Mac Attack during lunch.
.
Hansbrough loves cup cakes……and funnel cakes, and cookies. Who doesn’t? But wait it gets better I promise. Psycho T is one up on everyone….He bakes! Thats right. You’re favorite big man at UNC is a baker!!
.
How could I have missed this one? Oh well, lets needle him while we can. God knows Redick took enough BS from the Tarheel fan base. http://www.starnewsonline.com/article/20080313/NEWS/803130339
This is all I could muster up without spending an eternity on editing a photo :)

New Nike Shoes?

Got this email from Brandan who apparently markets for NIKE. Not sure how much weight this carries but maybe we’ll see if its true? Anyone know what shoes they wear now?

When the Blue Devils step on the court tonight for its opening game of the NCAA Tournament, the squad will sport a new look. Tonight, the Blue Devils will be donning Kobe Bryant’s signature Nike sneaker - the Zoom Kobe III. The special edition kicks were designed specifically for Duke as a call out to Kobe’s admiration for Coach Mike Krzyzewski who will spend this summer coaching Kobe and the rest of the USA Basketball squad at the Olympic Games in Beijing. If you are interested, I’d be happy to send you a picture of the shoe to share with your readers. Please let me know if you have any questions. Best, Brandan for Nike

The Mac Attack

Nothing better than listening to the jabs from both sides on 610 am.

UNC Jayvee’s –Uumm..Nice Layups, I guess

Now this is funny. UNC actually has a Jayvee team. I guess this is for the “wanna bees” over at UNC. Check out the vid:
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/columns/story?columnist=oneil_dana&id=3231442

Notice their all lay ups? I’m sure noone can shoot. In fact on that video, we see at least one missed shot from downtown. Just sad. They should close up shop soon.

Coach Bob Knight Steps Down, Effective Immediately

Bobby Knight, coach of the Texas Tech Red Raiders, has resigned effective immediately. Bobby was best known for making Indiana one of the best basketball programs ever. He’s downfall was he harsh coaching habits that were once looked upon as simply being strict years ago, and no longer being able to coach how he wanted too without having a magnifying glass on top of him from all angles.
The whole timing is very peculiar and will no doubt be “investigated” by the media but at the same time if you know Bobby Knight he really doesn’t care what the media thinks. Jerry Tarkanian mentioned to Rivals.com that he “hopes its not a health related issue” because the resignation comes in the middle of the year.
My best guess. He doesn’t care what people think and he’ll do what Coach Knight wants to do and when to do it. Here’s to hoping he learns to relax a little while life is short.

Dookies

I seriously wanted to just copy and paste this post. I love it. For every “non Duke” fan out there, there really is no reason to hate Duke. Why do you hate them? Because they win! Best summed up on this post over at MySideofSports dot com.. Go there now!!
