OK, I'll check in at your blog -- I did scour it for clues, but found nothing as obvious as those.<BR/><BR/>Have to admit I sometimes tune out college hoops these days -- many other sports on my plate, and it keeps the peace with my wife (UNC alum) to be a little less obsessive than I was in college.bdurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17568360697184873268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12143188.post-1137979522792799782006-01-22T17:25:00.000-08:002006-01-22T17:25:00.000-08:00(I'm from Georgia.)Glad to help a pair of alumni. ...(I'm from Georgia.)<BR/><BR/>Glad to help a pair of alumni.

I had big hair. Duh. I dated the guy who had the room in Brown with a bathroom for his first year there, but then he moved to the other end of the dorm b/c he joined that frat. Drop me a line through my blog. :)Susan Anne MacKennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04508738837543378799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12143188.post-1137943907093229462006-01-22T07:31:00.000-08:002006-01-22T07:31:00.000-08:00MacDawg -- You're way off.

I mean, we lost, which blows chunks, but it's bearable. Or maybe, now that I'm older and have other things to worry about. Who knows. But, for me, it was okay. <BR/><BR/>I think this team is good, fwiw. <BR/><BR/>UF losing, as posted before, is not surprise. I'd love to see them skid into a horrific spiral and win only a couple more for the rest of the year. <BR/><BR/>Bdure - did you graduate Duke in 1992, having lived in Brown House? Just wondering.Susan Anne MacKennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04508738837543378799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12143188.post-1137911343227744312006-01-21T22:29:00.000-08:002006-01-21T22:29:00.000-08:00Glad you're optimistic.

It's "Duke isn't that good."<BR/><BR/>Frankly, they've got some work to do before we can even think about them cutting down the nets. They're not going to win the national title with four players contributing. (Redick, Williams, Dockery, Paulus). Someone else will have to step up. I haven't been watching a lot, but there has to be a reason we're not seeing a lot of minutes or points out of McRoberts. K doesn't have much faith in Pocius, less in Boykin, less in Boateng. They need depth. <BR/><BR/>People remember Laettner in various tournament games. They tend to forget Marty Clark hitting five straight clutch free throws. The '92 team had Tony Lang and Brian Davis, both of whom spent a little bit of time as NBA role players, as the fifth and sixth guys.<BR/><BR/>The women have a better shot. And I'll be more upset if they don't do it.<BR/><BR/>In any case, a national title is all about playing well at the right time and getting a bit of luck.bdurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17568360697184873268noreply@blogger.com
