WOW!!!!!!!

It has some good points. But i dont think Duke is on there way out. Unfortunately:irked:

22-3, I think most fans would take that.

 

They are a victim of their own success. Much like UK in the 90s.

Duke loses two games in a row and everybody gets excited. :lol:

 

Wheres the articles saying UK is in decline?

You can't go to the Final Four every year, no matter what the majority of the fans think.

I just like the point a lot showing how Duke has played a handful of non conference road games since 2000, that is crazy.

22-3 on the year and I'm sure they have a nice class coming in as always.

 

I don't see Duke going anywhere while Coach K. is there. As much as I despise the man, I can't deny the fact that he's a great coach and recruiter.

 

The article made some fair points but was over all a little rediculous.

I have started many threads on this in the past, and never received a real answer, I don't get the fascination with Duke by UK fans. When is the last time they even played?

 

It's not a rivalry. If it really stems from one game 15 years ago then it's really odd.

 

What's funny is Duke fans don't give two wooden nickels about UK. It's the most fascinating one sided hatred I've ever seen.

Why?

[stickymitts]

While the posting of the thread may be odd, the actual posts within the thread are pretty accurate. Most are saying the article is wishful thinking...

If you can't beat 'em, bash 'em....:lol: :jump: :banana:

Is the author of the story a UK fan?
