Dear Sweet Baby Jesus, Lying in the Manger..

Why Yes, In Our Book Duke IS Satan ......

Just a quick prayer to ask that Butler somehow pull off one more upset, and knock Duke off in the NCAA Championship tonight. There are few schools that we actually hate. We hav problems with Texas and Ohio State. We don't like Notre Dame. We HATE Duke. Not so much the team, but the fans.....

In the North Carolina-Duke rivalry, we have always been a Tar Heel fan, but we didn't particularly hate Duke. Then we went to East Carolina for two years, and every early winter, we got to go to Cameron , and get our asses kicked by Duke. Worse yet was the abuse of the Cameron Geeks, most of whom were private school dicks from Long Island and New Jersey. Getting thumped by 40 points wa bad enough, but enduring the endless 'Public School, Private School' chants was acid on my skin. Hell, even if you beat them, they'd chant 'That's alright, that's OK - you're gonna work for us someday'..... A-hole's.

Even worse, Tom Grimes picked them from the start to win it, and the last thing we all need is to inflate Tom's ego even more. So, pray to your favorite deity, buddha doll or rock for a Duke loss.... Hopefully, we can say 'The Butler Did It!'. Sorry.........

Mike-I hate to say I told you so but, um...well...I told you Duke would win it all!!! I have to admit it was a lot closer than I or probably anyone else expected. I think we may be seeing the emergence of a new basketball contender in Butler. But at the end of game there was only one team left and as I predicted 64 teams and 4 weeks ago, it's all Duke!!!...teg
