Why are there so many Duke apologists in the broadcast sports media?

Where do they get off trying to close it out?

I must admit I am a Duke hater. But I am also a Carolina hater. So my opinion counts (or so I tell myself).

Boo hoo. It couldn't happen to a more deserving team.

Here's an idea for those in the media that are so in love will Duke: Try some objectivity for a change.

Why do so many people hate Duke so much? Good academics, nice campus, great BBall program.

Because they are good. And because their students are obnoxious and they are constantly on TV.

Basically some of the same reasons that people hate BYU. But of course, about us they are not true.

Because Duke is the beneficiary of the media whores.

Coach K gets to use American Express and Chevrolet for recruiting ads during the NCAA tournament.

Coach K practically blamed Williams for Henderson's actions alluding to the fact that a starter was in the game with a double digit lead with time almost expired.

I can deal with their success, it's their sense of entitlement that I hate.

Because the so called classy Cameron Crazies chant "orphan, orphan" who lost his mother and father in a murder suicide.

Is anyone that responded to this thread NOT a Duke hater? Just Curious

I have more respect for Coach K after an interview I heard this morning. He basically said that Bob Knight was the best coach ever, that he deserved the record for most wins, and that his own wins should be appended to Knight's wins, because Knight was his inspiration and mentor.

I respect Bob Knight for coaching in a backwater like Tech. I would respect Coach K more if he coached in a backwater like Utah.

Nice shot,

I would cease to be a Ute fan if Krzxczxzsxkxy were to be the coach at Utah.

Anything bad that happens to Dook is richly deserved.
