Duke Game info
- Thread starter NYCRedmen
- Start date
They have a lot of guards and wings but not as much veteran firepower as last year. The Plumlees don't scare me too much. We have as much talent as they do. The difference is it's at Cameron. Gotta have the swag entering there and we can win. Would love to win 2 years in a row and make it a painful experience playing SJU.

This is what one Duke student wrote about the Crazies one year after both the Terps and Johnnies both waxed them at Cameron Indoor:
"Duke Basketball-say it with respect. It's the reason why I came to Duke, and I'm proud to say that. I think the biggest problem with this University is the fact that so many students come to Duke not understanding the tradition. This was never more evident than in last year's home loss to Maryland, ending our home winning streak. I had hoped it taught a lesson, but I was in the stands for our next loss, to St. John's, and I could not believe what I was hearing.
Not the silent walk of depressed people pondering what just happened with the somber Dear Old Duke playing in the background. Not even hysterical sobs or fits of anger. Instead, I heard people discussing what they were going to do later that night. The team deserved better than that. They certainly deserved better than the empty seats in the Maryland game as well. It made me wonder, what happened to the student body?"
I hope a beautiful road victory happens this year - shut those ugly heffers up....
The difference between St.John's and the other teams that visit Cameron is that the St.John's kids are not intimidated by Puke.
Even Roberts' teams, although out talented and somewhat easily defeated did not back down from the attempted intimidation by the Puke players and fans..

Ugly Heffers?!? Interesting that this guy knows an ugly heffer from pretty one.
Yes we had about 15 of us there that game. My brother and I sat in the 2nd to last row. My mom sat in the 3rd row behind Louie. We also had seats directly behind the dook bench. Coach k did not like that but we put some quiet fans there. I have family local to the raleigh area.

darn right - take a look at most of the Puke material. Even the coed with the F-List - hurtin' = heffers. You know it when u see - don't mean we gotta be with it!

ok, ok, so it was only a point and the Terps won by 11 that year. Most of you know I am a Johnnies and Terps fan - and love beating Duke more than you do...so the Terps waxed Duke and Johnnies squeaked by in a 1 pt. victory - but both teams beat Duke's arse!

[/quote] Fair enough, when the Johnnies wacked MD in 99 who were you rooting for?[/quote]
I rooted for UMD for that game for two reasons - went to grad school there after moving into the area in '90, and had season tix w/ friends from '93 onward.
Since MD broke through in '02, I already have said I am rooting for the Storm in any head to heads until the Natty is finally brought home. I've rooted for SJs since I caught the bball bug when I was 8. I will not abandon either squad until the end.
