HeyDigUout! The funniest thing.....local newscast had this big fake story about how Florida State BEAT Duke today 77-76!! It was hilarious.....they apparently paid a whole bunch of guys to dress up like Florida State and jump up and down just like they actually won!!! It was amazing!!! So life like...you wouldnt have believed it..wish I taped it for you so you could get a good laugh......!!! ;)

Ok Newbie, since you consider yourself the humor moderator, how bout a few more jokes at Duke's expense?

Man, you admit you're a fan of the greatest college basketball dynasty since the days of John Wooden (ask your Dad, Jp) and the green head of jealousy immediately rears its ugly head! :sneek:

Yes, the still #1 ranked Blue Devils lost their first game of the season today to the awe inspiring Seminoles. Yes, Jason missed free throws today like his last name was O'Neal playing for the Lakers.

For this team that loss is just what they needed. Takes all of the pressure off when the Final Four rolls around about a perfect season. They are still the best team in college hoops.

So tell me guys, I haven't been keeping up. How's the University of New York at Niskayuna and the University of Illinois at Urbana doing this season? I must missed their games on ESPN -

Don't know bout that strange New York school , but U of I, top ten ranking and out to get some wins. We'll be there battling this Duke team come March. We are starting slow, were over rated to start the season, but we are actually starting to hit on all cylinders now.

Well, whenever you all are ready to start the season Jp. You all aren't the Detroit Lions of college hoops after all! But Newbie sure is quiet on this subject now. Hmmmm.....

I need to learn to type better/clearer...I LIKE duke, am a fan..just trying to lighten up what had to be a bad day for you! As for the University of New York at Niskayuna.. thats a laugh! Would kind of be like Univ. of California, Hollywood and Vine Campus......I grew up in the ACC area....Univ of Maryland, Duke NC etc. .....Lefty Drisell era.....still my favorite and actually know very little about any other conference.....

DigUout · January 8, 2002

OK, you're forgiven. If Lefty is over with you, than you're over with me!

Wasn't a bad day. FSU came to play and they deserved to win. Like I said, best Duke doesn't go into the tourney with an undefeated season stigma and #1 ranking to stress them out and give the press something to feed on -

I am from ACC country also. Went to Clemson. Played baseball there. We don't talk much about basketball these days, but we will claw our way to respectability soon (I hope!)

Just thought I'd add a picture I took (with a crappy disposable camera) when I was at the NCAA championship game this past April in Minneapolis. Oh yes, incase anyone forgot, Duke won.

Go Duke!
