Duke in McKale? Can't be possible. Must be fake news. We have been told time and time again over the previous twelve years that there is no way, absolutely no way, that any top school would play in McKale.

Posted: **Mon Jul 18, 2022 12:11 pm**

Scheer says it would have never happened while Coach K was around.

Posted: **Mon Jul 18, 2022 1:21 pm**

Can I buy tickets yet?

That gives me 2 years to find someone to fill in for me for work.

And I've never attended a game that Arizona lost, so I'm gonna try and convince my wife it's my duty.

I am super pumped about this home and home!!!

Posted: **Mon Jul 18, 2022 1:57 pm**

The only reason it is happening is because Duke has a different coach. Rat face would never have agreed to this.

I was at Duke vs AZ in '87 bawling my eyes out from how loud it was. I will be there in 2024 bawling my eyes out again

Damn RJ

I despise being supposed to root for Dook.

Posted: **Wed Nov 29, 2023 9:51 pm**

Thanks for nothing Duke.

Posted: **Wed Nov 29, 2023 10:10 pm**

At least they didn’t lose at home.

Posted: **Wed Nov 29, 2023 10:12 pm**

You'd think they could be good forsomething but nooo.

Posted: **Thu Nov 30, 2023 10:47 am**

Duke's likely just been dropped to #2 overall seed in ESPIN's Bracketology, now...

Posted: **Thu Nov 30, 2023 11:00 am**

I'm no Duke fan. Far from it. But the reality is that we will benefit significantly if they do well during the remainder of the reg season.

Posted: **Thu Nov 30, 2023 11:05 am**

Fuck Duke now and always

You should NEVER be upset at a Duke loss

NEVER

Even if it means weakening the value of our win at Cameron? Sorry, I see it differently.

This season is a strange situation because we want that win at Cameron to hold a lot of weight on Selection Sunday.

Posted: **Thu Nov 30, 2023 8:05 pm**

If we keep winning and Duke loses its remaining games we will still be a 1 seed

Fuck Duke every fucking day

Posted: **Thu Nov 30, 2023 8:09 pm**

What Ari said. Let's have both.

Posted: **Thu Nov 30, 2023 8:13 pm**

Seriously… only mediocre teams need to worry about opponents records to try to prop them up

We are not mediocre

Posted: **Thu Nov 30, 2023 8:56 pm**

I'm down with any scenario in which we get credit for beating a good team on their court, breaking them and sending them into a downward spiral which only then exposes them as entitled pissant poseurs whose torment and despair serves enduring justification of my dark and petty hatred of them.

I think that about covers it until next time.

Posted: **Thu Nov 30, 2023 9:55 pm**

You schedule good teams because they are good and will balance out the shitty teams you have to play in conference. Not wanting them to be good so our strength of schedule is hurt is a weird thing.

Go Duke

But I hate them and want them to suffer. I don't make the rules. They must die horribly, in a fire, while I laugh and take vids, which I sell online, and use to pay for internet access.

I don't make the rules.

Posted: **Fri Dec 01, 2023 7:50 am**

I only root for Arizona and say let the chips fall where they may.

I never root for Duke or Illinois. Period.

So we hate them all the years we don't play them and then love on them the years we do?

Sorry Chi - can't turn my hate on and off like that. The 2001 championship stolen from Lute the year he lost Bobbi won't allow it.

I hate them all the time. But I don’t want them to be total dogshit this year so it hurts our strength of schedule and the perception of our win.

Trust me when I say that if there are any Duke players, students, alums, or fans who care that you hate Duke with every fiber of your being, it’s only because they enjoy it. There’s no award I know of for most virulent and consistent Duke hater.

In this case hatred is its own reward. It's not a lottery ticket type of deal. I hate them because fuck them. It's tautological.

Posted: **Fri Dec 01, 2023 8:45 am**

Duke will not be dogshit this year no matter how much I Bear Down against them.

This year I’m toning it down to a low background loathing. Same thing for next year.

In 2026 I’ll turn it back up to 11.

Maybe I should test drive a resting loathing face ......

nah, not feelin' it. If later you recommend it then I'll revisit. Let no one claim I'm not open to a more civilized toxicity.

Posted: **Fri Dec 01, 2023 2:41 pm**

Rooting against Duke is fine and expected...right up until their losses impact our strength of schedule and weaken our tourney seed prospects.

Basically what Chi has been saying.

Posted: **Fri Dec 01, 2023 2:51 pm**

Fuck Dook!

Posted: **Fri Dec 01, 2023 4:25 pm**

Fuck Duke, fuck the Illini, and fuck the 1972 Soviet Olympic team and the refs who gave them the victory.

You can never beat them enough.

Some things you never get over.

Posted: **Fri Dec 01, 2023 4:33 pm**

Apriori hate Dook.

Posted: **Sat Dec 02, 2023 1:28 pm**

Duke looks like crap again today. The more they lose, the more trivial our win at Cameron becomes.

Posted: **Sat Dec 02, 2023 2:32 pm**

Duke in freefall.

Posted: **Sat Dec 02, 2023 2:45 pm**

Fuck Duke

Posted: **Sat Dec 02, 2023 2:45 pm**

Now I'm just pissed at Duke for losing to teams they should be handling.

I was leery of the Scheyer hire from the beginning. It's early, and he could very well become a good coach. But I thought he got the top job too quickly. Duke has too much at stake to put the program in the hands of their best intern.

Posted: **Sat Dec 02, 2023 2:47 pm**

Just gotta handle our business against Wisconsin, Purdue, Alabama, and FAU. Then if Duke is dogshit it hopefully won’t matter. Wisconsin with the win against Marquette helps, especially with the law of transitive property.

I hear you, pc. It's almost impossible for Duke to render our win at Cameron entirely insignificant. But they'll try.

Posted: **Sun Dec 03, 2023 5:56 am**

We did still win that game, if we just keep winning and covering, that's all we can do. How many other teams have won and covered every game?

Edit. Byu is the answer.

Posted: **Sun Dec 03, 2023 9:13 am**

Neither ranked Dook nor ranked Sparty have shown to be quite as good as we thought. Wiscy is just the opposite: unranked at the moment and playing better than anticipated. They play Sparty 3 days before traveling to Tucson. By that tip off at McKale Purdue will have had 2 more games to bleed off the sting of the loss to Northwestern. This ain't a bad set up. Then Bama and FAU come at us with less recovery time. Our team will be tired by then.

Fuck everyone not in a UofA uniform.

Posted: **Tue Dec 12, 2023 5:21 pm**

I hope for Chicat's sake that Dook can manage to defeat the mighty Pride of Hofstra. It may be tough, but there's virtue in the climb!

Posted: **Tue Dec 12, 2023 9:47 pm**

Duke is going to try all season long to make our win at Cameron virtually meaningless by Selection Sunday. I’ve never disliked Duke too intensely, but it’s starting to stir.

Posted: **Wed Dec 20, 2023 6:29 pm**

Duke is at it again.

Duke loses to Pitt. What an amazing day.

Posted: **Sat Jan 20, 2024 8:29 pm**

Pitt wins in Cameron for the first time since 1979.

Posted: **Sun Jan 21, 2024 9:38 am**

By Selection Sunday, our win over Wisconsin will mean more than beating Duke.
