Duke Sucks is the title of a book by Reed Tucker and Andy Bagwell which I came across today at Barnes and Noble.

Might be something you would want to consider buying for someone who hates the Blue Devils.

Maybe they meant the football team, although they did pretty well this year
 
I haven't personally read this book but any Redmen fan who was watching the 1990 St. John's NCAA tournament game against Duke would likely agree with the premise inspired by the title. For those who may be too young to remember it, the refs stole this game from St. John's with an absolutely absurd foul and technical call on Billy Singleton.

St. John's dominated that Duke team and only the burden of overcoming the Refs brutal job throughout the game ( punctuated by the six point play) denied us victory. It was possibly the lowest moment I've had in the fifty plus years of watching college basketball games.
