F*@k Duke! As is my wont, I decided to make a quick post this morning on the defeat of the hated Duke Blue Devils. Last night, while deciding what to do, I had the idea to watch the Maryland-Duke game. Given the performance of the Terps this season, I had no interest in watching a sure defeat by the Dookies at their home court, in front of their bouncing fans. Besides, I like my beauty sleep. This morning, I get to the office and fire up FeedDemon to get my various feeds. I see in my IM client that a number of coworkers have links to various student sites on campus that sprung up following last night's victory. Behold, the shame and horror on the faces of Duke players and fans! I head on over to the Baltimore Sun, and I see the article "UM deals Duke first loss". Much is made of this rivalry, and being a graduate alum of this fine institution (and a homer, of sorts) it is nice to see a defeat of the media darling that is Duke. Aside from that, I love to see the dejection of the pimply faced kids from Duke who enjoy their Wannabe Ivy League School in the South. To use the oft-seen line from Fark: Duke sucks. 7:44:52 AM    comment []  trackback []
