...you are 26, have over 11,000 posts on a message board of a school you graduated from (apparently) a long time ago, and think that calling someone a "newb" is a real insult.........

this is groundbreaking because duke is the only team that has ever gotten away with a foul.news flash. this happens all the time and it has no name on it. refs flat out fuck up sometimes. they dont want to help any certain team win they just fuck up. plenty of games clearly go a certain way because of a no call. off the top of my head somebody got creamed at the end of texas wvu game when wvu was going for the win. illinois-arizona last year when illiniois was trying to foul but fouls were not called. allan rays travel. and these are just end of game blunders off the top of my head off the top of my head.and it is the real way. if you charge through the lane you are fouling. if im standing underneath being charged upon the refs are not gonna call it unless i fall down. even though theres no way im being knocked off my feet the other player is gaining an unfair advantage if i dont flop.

I like Duke because they are a winning team. It's essentially a guarantee to receive gratification when I cheer for them because most of the time they win their games! Of course, there's no justification for the loyalty of most of our fans, but that's okay, because everyone likes a winner and you can't argue against that!I hold high hopes for our team, and us fans' high expectations are met most of the time. It's not that it's a no-brainer to cheer for Duke; it's that I, like many others cheer for them because it makes me feel like a winner to pull for the winning team!We are never susceptible to scrutiny by critics with any sort of credibility. What are the chances of being correct in criticism when many people argue the same certain things! A lot of people are too negative! How could you not like a winning team when everyone wants to win!??! It's hard for me to cheer for Duke in football. Sometimes I forget they have a football program, so I choose another team that wins. This year I liked USC until Texas beat them in the BCS Championship game, so I bought the Sports Illustrated Texas package with my 56-issue paid subsciption. That subscription is worth its weight in gold because I will have the hottest news on which teams are going to be winners in the coming year. But it doesn't matter because it's not like my fan loyalty can't be switched on a whim. Duh! So anyway, this is basketball season. Even though I am an NC State student, we are not winning as much as Duke, so a Duke fan I will be! My choices make my life easier when I don't have to support a team that I myself hold no hopes for when the team I chose to support has already proven itself. From this I essentially have the right to argue on an Internet messageboard as to why my team is better than yours (ours technically, since we go to the same school), without being a pompous, baseless prick about it!Last but not least, I never make up excuses as to why I cheer for Duke when people ask me. There is always a justifiable reason; such as I grew up liking Duke, I had a cousin that attended there in the 80s, I used to work there, I'm from Durham, I'm related to Bobby Hurley, I grew up with Coach K as my neighbor, etc. ALL of these are perfect reasons as to why I like them, so don't hate, appreciate.[Edited on February 3, 2006 at 10:36 AM.

mr packboozie I believe you sir missed the point

If you upgrade my cynical yet true statement about 90 percent of Duke fans here to the 10th power and come up with an exponential number of baseless excuses to root for a team, you have a 99.9999 percent chance of describing a Carolina fan.[Edited on February 3, 2006 at 10:13 PM. Reason : j]
