About me: Rivalblues is the battle between UNC and DUKE. I'm a UNC fan. My friend is a DUKE fan. We want fans of both schools to come and talk smack. Try to keep it clean...if possible.

Duke looks good...so far...still, I'm not sold on what they'll look like in 2 months. I'm not trying to take a page from others, but time will tell if Duke is really "back" or not. We went a while into last season and the season before, thinking Duke would make a final four run....time will tell. Schyer has been the best player from an ACC school this season, IMO.
Heels need work -- work, work, work, and more work -- oh, and some freakin' heart going to the basket. Besides Dexter, nobody else has the motor to go at the rim...Henson is soft and Deon is beyond soft at this point. I must admit that Thompson has some nice footwork and (at times) post moves, but he is TOO freakin' soft at the rim. Its clear to see that Hansbrough brought the heart and intensity that this team so desperately needs. Moving Marcus to the 3 and playing Dexter more at the 2 would be a welcomed change, but Roy ain't going to give up this early. So, if we could find a way to get Graves more shots, things would be better. He can shoot...just can't get himself open like Ellington. Our post entry passing needs a clinic -- horrible at times, but some of this is due to Ed, Deon, and Zeller not getting in good position. Hans was so big that most people miss the little things...not I.
Saturday at our home away from home, Madison Square Garden baby! #7 DUKE vs #15 Gonzaga! Last night was a practice game and the boys looked good! Welcome back Andre Dawkins with 16 points after the passing of his sister a week and a half ago! Let's Go DUKE!
If the rumors are indeed true about Andre Dawkins' sister, my thoughts & prayers go out to him and his family. Haven't seen confirmation anywhere, and several sites that had the "story" have since removed it. I hope it's just an internet rumor, but regardless my prayers are with the Dawkins family that was affected by this tragedy, be it Andre's or not. Life's too short. Remember that daily. Tell those around you that you love them. I've experienced this first hand, and this just once again reminds me.
Tough 2 point loss for the Heels yesterday. ky played really well and are a legit contender. John Wall is the real deal. UNC's first true road game of the year was a learning expereience and they still have some growing to do.Which is the great thing about being a UNC fan..GROWTH happenes which is evident by the huge 2nd half come back attempt.
Nice win for the dookies. It was tough holding off a St. Johns team that has shown everyone that they are a legit National Championship contender. It was both inspiring and telling that k felt the need to get the crowd pumped up before this "huge game"...Is he worried about the state of his team or is it possible that even the die hard fan base is completly bored with his lack of scheduling any competitive competition for the first 3 months of EVERY season.
Although, I am positive playing this level of competition will help dook accomplish it's goal....The Sweet 16 and another pointless 25-30 win season.
Don't be naive enough to think I actually go back looking you up. Everyone here just knows you post the same tired thing. You constantly remind us, so no need to actually go back :)
Tough loss. Too many turnovers, missed free throws and we got beat at our own game. They beat us on the fast break. On the bright side, we looked much better after falling behind than we did against the Orange. Wall is as good as advertised. 1 and done at UK for sure.
I just love that you spend time on TDD. Just further shows you Carolina fans' obsession with Duke. In fact, just about every post of yours mentions Duke. Rare that I can go back and find one that is strictly about your team. Nice!
Not nearly as silent has it is in Durham every March since '04. The difference being UNC improves as the year goes on and dook burns out, just a matter of time. YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO yet you still keep talking/acting like it's the early 90's.
I'll just hang my hat on beating 2-3 ranked teams so far this season. Then again, St. Johns is yet again a favorite to win the National Championship....
